Doors with four hinges

Post by Gene Davis »

I just did a workaround to place hinge plate hardware holes in frameless cabs receiving doors at 1918mm height.

Presently, the software is limited to placing either two hinges per door, or three hinges per door when the height maximum you specify is exceeded.

In my workaround (yours is likely much easier but I am a bonehead) I set the height max high so only two hinge placements are done, then use the part editor to place the other two groups. Yuk! I coulda drilled them in less time.

I would like the software modified in the next release to be able to handle not just three hinge placements when limit "A" is exceeded, but to place four hinges when a second limit "B" is exceeded.

My settings for these two limits would be 1219mm (48") and 1829mm (72").

How about it, Thermwood?

In V5.2, depending on the max distance between hinges, the software will add all the hinges that can fit along the door.
I will pass you suggestion on to the programmers.
