Major problems with batch job

[Jason Gooch]

Where to start - I had this file almost finished, and then.... I decided I needed to change the thickness of material from 18mm to 19mm (the actual thickness was 1mm more than I'd planned). I closed the file, went to material settings and updated the material. Restarted the file, it told me to choose another material or to use the existing thickness. I decided to try over, instead of reimporting the original thickness. So I closed the file again, went back to material thickness, changed it back to its original setting. Opened the file - it asked if I wanted to upgrade to V6. I thought that was weird, but said yes. And apparently then I saved it, though I don't remember that part.

Now, long story short - I can no longer alter the cabinets, can't select a cabinet to access construction settings or change dimensions. In batch, all dimensions read zero. It nests ok, some things seem normal, but I can't alter other things. I tried saving a batch assembly as its own assembly, then a cabinet within a batch as its own individual cabinet - still has the same problems.

Can someone please look this over for me - I'm now looking at hours of reconstruction from a previous file, unless there's a magical fix.

Thanks - Jason

Jason,

I would bet you will need to start from scratch but maybe the eCab guys will have some answers.

Remember you cannot change the thickness of an existing material. You must rename the material to change thickness.

Yah, I keep learning that one. Still, shouldn't cause these problems. Thanks - Jason
