Stretcher adjusting challenge

Post by Donald Thomson »

When I go in to adjust a stretcher some interesting things happen that make it difficult to do any adjustments. I've attached a picture of a cabinet with the stretcher selected and am ready to click the adjust stretcher.

The second picture is the result when I am taken to the screen to actually adjust the stretcher. For some reason, the stretcher is being rotated 90 degrees. :wall:

This makes it difficult to make adjustments without deleting and adding the stretcher again. Makes a few second change take a lot longer.

Donald,
Did you add it as a 'front to back' stretcher originally or as a 'top to bottom' stretcher, then rotate it 90 degrees?
I've noticed problems rotating stretchers then trying to move them around.....just curious,

Josh,

It was originally added as an up-down stretcher and never rotated 90 deg. This has happened to me before. I've always just deleted and then put it back in. With the speed issues of V6 this editing time really adds up.
