I will have to look into this. The back size adjustments in the "More" window of the editing window for the upper looks like it is working but not in the parts adjustment window.

hey Rob i got it to work now with a little bit of testing but it is working now. i didnt know that in the more window you could change these standards so i adj. them there and it worked ,only in the edit screen where all the parts were listed with a pic of the cabinet . i would get out of the program and come back to see if the standards would be the same but 3 or 4 times they would go back to what they were . then at one point in time i could not get the edit page i talked about before to even come up ,i would hit save on the cabinet but it would just got back to the list where it is a column on the right and the main page stuff on the left . i have a question why is it that when setting standards on general it says save as efault or apply to this job only ? why not have it for all standrds that way so it will be saved the way you like it . since day one i have had the hardest time with these settings they seam to just revert back to whatever the default was when purchased or somthing . this makes me have to check everytime i go to use this program due to not trusting what ir says . i hit continue just like it says to do on the screen in order to save the info but yet it doesnt seam to remember what i want .asave as default on each standard setting sure would make me fell more comfortable as to it doing what it says ,because my history with it isnt so pleasent at all. i like the program for the capabilities it can produce and the click and drag drawing its the standrss that freak me out because of the non saving info part . i dont want to have to check the standards every single time i go to draw a cabinet ,mostly if its just a couple of cabinets i need to build i dont even bother with it i just go old school like i know and hand draw and do the take off myself ,because i dont fell like having to go in a check all the standrss because it takes me awhile. i drae a test cabinet out and then take off for it the old wy then draw it here and see what dont match and then the games begin on what is what and where is the decimal and if i change this it changes something else somewhere on the box so then it just a vicios circle of frustration so you see where im coming from with that .if there was a way for there to be a window open that i could just type in how i like things for each box and it would spit that out great !!!nlike if the program had a base cabinet example and you told it what to make all the parts for that box it is showing you ,it would then know how you like to build your cabineet and from that point on it would generate the parts for other boxes based off this info of the example box IDK if that is even possible but i wish it was
