Machining for Metal Drawer Systems

[Nat Wheatley]

I'm not sure this is the best place to post this, and I'd guess I've missed the window for Ver 6., but at some point, would it possible to add this option to the software? If it turns out that there's the option in V.6 to do Part Editor cuts to drawer boxes, I think the only other step required would to be able to automatically add drilling to the backside of the drawer fronts (for the drawer sides and bottom to attache). I think that could be handled by a drawer slide, which, like a hinge, was able to create holes in 2 planes: the cabinet side, and backside of the drawer front.

I'm able to do this manually now, but it does take a fair amount of time, coupled with the fact that it needs to be redone if the drawer front style is changed.

I'll send this in through 'Feedback' as well.

Thanks.

Nat don't worry. This has been requested many times by myself and others. I fairly sure some ability to do work on the drawer box is factored in on Version 6. I think somewhere a few months back the list of what is in version 6 was listed by Ken.
We use metal drawers ourselves with Hettich Multitech and Innotech and it is a pain in the bum drilling these drawer fronts freehand with a air drill a short distance from the Thermwood.

I too have made this request and I believe from correspondence, that this is an issue that is not likely to be resolved with the new version. Unfortunately. Guys i feel your pain as i do a lot of these draws too, and it does take a load of time to change them if using a different set of draws.
