In Part Editor, we created a pocket in the back and cut it .4" deep. Now that the component is here we discovered we only need the pocket .260" deep. Geometry is correct. We cannot find a way to just change the depth of the cut without recreating the whole geometry and specifying new depth. Are we missing something? Seems like there should be a way.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Edit pocket depth
What I often do in this case is just manually change the daylight value of the pocketing tool at the machine. For example, to cut the pocket 1/2 inch deeper, add 1/2 inch to the daylight value of the pocketing tool. Just don't forget to change it back when you're done

Re: Edit pocket depth
Rob,
Take your cabinet to the cabinet editor,
select the part you want to edit and take it to the constraint manager
place a depth constraint on the geometry you want to change and the edit that constraint.

Re: Edit pocket depth
Kerry, I owe you one! Been on CM page 1000s of times and never knew that existed. Just always been X-Y constraints. This will prove very helpful in future. I was today old when I learned this.
