Have you tried the "combine cabinet" feature. From what I've read that should do it.

This is an automatic feature. Basically all you need to do is place two or more cabinets next to each other on a wall and then set one of the adjoining stile's width to zero. The program will automatically combine the cabinets into one unit. It does not automatically equalize the opening widths though, you need to adjust the cabinet widths if necessary.

Please see the in-program help file topic "Combining cabinets" for a more thorough explanation of how it works and for which cabinet types.

Got it thanks.............but when I calulate the material list it does not show two center panels only the two R-L panels. On the cut list it shows my 84" long rails, so it is seeing the combined cabinets just not putting in center panels.
I can just figure them in but since this is a drawer base (9 drawers) they should be there for price calulations and materials required.

What am I missing?

Thanks

Well this is a first, there's a bug where if the number of partitions is 2 it doesn't get added to the parts list. But this particular bug is in the language the program is written with, not actually in the program.

I will have a new update to fix it shortly.
