Saving

Post by Jay Burnes »

Why is it easier to save cabinets as an individual cabinet in a library than to save them in a room?
I have found that the quickest way to build a room is to save an altered cabinet in a library then close ecabinets. reopen the file, then delete the old cabinet and install the updated one. I had to build one room in six separate pieces as I worked my way around "failure to read parasolid file info" errors. Do cabinets get cluttered with code as they are edited?

You should always build your cabinets in the cabinet editor first and save them in a library. Once you have all the cabinets done create a room and start installing the cabinets to the room. This seems to be the best way to build a room.

Yes, I always thought that that was the best way to go.
On further research, I've learned that as I edit a given cabinet the HSF file size increases. Some of my stock cabinets are several generations old, and have very large file sizes. I have begun remaking such cabinets from scratch. My average file size is dropping dramatically and my computers performance is noticeably better.
Does ecabinets software save a cabinet's build history in its HSF file?
