Never seen this discussed but we need the option to flip a tenon on one edge to the other side of the part. IE: on wall cab decks the tenon left and right needs to be on the top edge to remain captive but we need a tenon on the front for mounting frames to be on the bottom edge.
I think the most intuitive way to do this is might be in the construction popout tab have the option to flip the joint. "Front Edge, Blind dado (flip)"
Anybody else?

Re: Flip tenon on one edge
Hi Forrest.
That would be a nice feature.
We mainly use lock dado construction mixed with butt and KDA /RTA fastener
I like it enough to do an imaginary Photoshop of it for your pleasure.
I just don't know the first thing about programming, 
..... So, Its pretty .....useless.
I personally would prefer that they work on stabilising part editor cuts on ends. I spend a lot of time reapplying cuts that get removed or go wobbly when we modify our seed cabinets. Ive tried every way I can think of to try and constrain them so the stick, but, I haven't found a way that sticks yet.
Sometimes I just leave it and after its cut, pull out the old tried and true technology, AKA "The Chisel" and fix them all manually.
Its fun to keep my hand in, and that way I can feel comfortable telling customers we still have that handcrafted approach to our Joinery.
Thought of the day or something to think about.
If wishes were CNC'S, every wanna be joiner / cabinetmaker would have one.

Re: Flip tenon on one edge
That's one way for sure! I was envisioning doing it through the construction tab like shown. Wish I new how to draw in another little popout with the flip option.

Re: Flip tenon on one edge
Hi Forest
I see what you are getting at.
This is what I find so informative about the forum.
It give you different perspectives and different techniques of other users.
Ecabs is such a large program and the programmers have added these various ways of achieving the desired outcome.
I never even thought to use the right mouse button to make that adjustment.
I have been accessing it through construction settings.
Your way is much faster for individual parts. Thank you.
