Drawer/Door designer not using correct wood

[Donald Thomson]

I am building the following cabinet. I've put a door and drawer in it. I have selected Hickory for the material to use for the slab drawer face and the 5-piece Conastoga TW-10 5-piece door.

When I go into Cutlist to get a detailed breakdown, it is showing the the drawer face is, in fact, using hickory. However Cutlist says the door is made from 3/4" generic for rails and stiles and 5/8" generic for the panel.

Is there a bug in selecting material to build doors and drawers faces with?

Build in House 5 piece doors use the 5 piece door breakdown settings that are set in Settings/Preferences for the cut list.

Thanks Rick.

For some reason I was thinking that if you selected a certain wood in the door/drawer editor that is what was to be used. Didn't know that this was overriden in preferences.

Learn something new all the time.....

Just to clarify. The default cut list values for 5 piece door/drawers are in Settings/Preferences. These values are used if you do not set anything in the Door/Drawer Designer using the Details for Cut list Button.

Rick,

What was happening was that in preferences the default was set to Generic. In the door/drawer editor I was selecting Hickory for the material but when I ran the Cutlist, the 5-piece doors were still Generic. For some reason selecting Hickory wasn't overriding the Generic material in Preferences.
