I am attaching a cabinet file (I hope) and the issue is that I am trying to make a 6" drawer head and the program is making a head the size of the whole cabient. I have stretchers in there and ideally I want 2 heads but I would settle for a single one I can cut. When I ran this on the CNC, I got two huge drawer heads as I did not catch what it did. Any idea on what I am doing wrong? I have gone back to door/drawer editor, deleted the drawer and then back to add drawer and made it 6" but it goes back to full size.
I need some help to see the error of my ways.

Re: Drawer head sizing
OK, jumping down 4 posts and drawer head partitions..... do I need to use a shelf with a back inset so it doesn't go to back and then a partition versus stretchers?? Like this other post said, the light bulb flicked on as i was reading but mine was on a dimmer and took a while to shed some light, assuming this is the answer!

You are right. The stretchers do not separate the area like shelves and partition do. And yes, using a back inset would give you the result you want. You are on the right track.

The fixed shelf did it for me. I needed it there in order to place the partition between the two drawers, which I need because I'm using side-mount drawer slides. And this is a furniture cabinet base in a TV wall group, so I usually like to have some sort of separator or dust panel there anyway.. I also need to put front-back "stretcherson the right/left above the fixed panel, in order to block out for the outside slides, since this is a FF cabinet with full inset drawers and doors. I'd send you a look at the file but it probably wouldn't do you a lot of good since I dont have all the details in it. I build by hand, mostly, and use eCab for design/presentation/cutlist and such. Also try to buy as much thru the co-op as possible.
