Drawer parts not nesting as expected in phantom unit

Post by Mark McCallum »

Can anyone else make this happen?
It reproduces for me.

Start from batch window.
Add a set of drawers.
Take to Cabinet editor.
right click , select phantom parts.
In Cabinet parts select top line .
hold down shift, select bottom line.
click select selected to phantom.
Then at the top, Select Drawer box parts.
Again, select top to bottom line and select all to phantom.
Then, select drawer bases individually and un-phantom. (so only the drawer bases are visable)
Return to main.
return to batch.
Try to nest.
I get the error message, nothing to nest or no error message but only one piece will be in the nest.
In the attached units only one drawer base shows up for me in the nest.
I get the same thing with other drawers.

Ps And if you can work out why the screw holes RTA go missing (there should be screw holes in the drawer bases) I will buy you a carton of beer. :joker: :joker: :beer:

Hi Guys.
I had another look at this and could not reproduce it from a seed cabinet.
It seems I had some infected drawer units.
I don't know how they got that way.
Thanks
Mark

Mark,

I hadn't gotten the same error when you posted, but I went on the road for a couple weeks without posting back I see the same issue. I was able to do it with a standard cabinet and standard drawer box. Reported to the software engineers, I'll let you know if it isn't corrected for the next version or if I need more information from you. I appreciate you letting us know about the issue.

Hi Clint
Thanks for the feedback.
