Unneeed Rabbit on Back

Post by Nat Wheatley »

On the attached cabinet, when you bring the back into the PE, it shows a rabbit on all edges of the back. The rabbit shouldn't be there. It doesn't appear on the nest, but is affecting PE cuts on the edges of the back. The first screen shot shows 2 notches done to the back in PE, the second shows the same back as displayed in the Constraint Manager.

Nat... are the lines that you refer to possibly the portion of the back that goes into another dado? I have had a few problems with this and may be getting a handle on it.

Gary,

The lines are inset from the edges the depth of the dado that they fit in to, but the lines shouldn't need to be there. They haven't been in the past for me, using V5.2, unless I've got a setting wrong, but I don't think so. The width of the back dado is wider than the thickness of the back, so the back should slip in without needing machining. Not clear on why the lines are there. typically they'd represent a rabbit.

Nat,

This is a known issue for now. There is a workaround for this that I will list, but it will revert back to the same issue if you regenerate the cabinet (CS->OK). There are plans to have this working again in the future.

To make this notch stay, you must have the cabinet in the final state so that there is no need to ever enter the construction settings again. If you do, the notch will again look like the Constraint Manager.

Once it is set, you can then apply the cutouts to the part. CNC will remove them as expected, unless you change material thickness during CNC generation. This issue is a result of the separation of System cut paths and User cut paths. Version 5.2 did not separate these and caused other issues with the cabinet.

This, of course, is not the ideal way for this to be handled, but it is all I have to offer right now. Just thought I would explain a little bit on why it is happening.
