Losing a 1/32

Post by Stephen Williams »

Hello All,

Yesterday I was adding four partitions to a box to make three cavities. The partitions are grouped in pairs, back to back, so I have; end - cavity - partitionpartition - cavity - partitionpartition - end.
I knew that each cavity should have been 22 1/16 but for some reason one of the cavities always came out 1/32 less.
I know the math was right as I did it initially in cad.
Anybody know why?

Thanks

Steve

Steve,

Please attach the cabinet that you are working with and I will take a look at it (it will be the {cabinet name}.hsf file in the directory where you are saving your cabs). Also, what dimension format are you in? You can find this setting under {settings and Preferences}.
Regards,

Stephen,

Post your cabinet so we can take a look.

Are you using Inches and Fractions? If so try using inches and decimal so that it doesn't round.

Scott you are on the ball today. :D
