My cabinets are 18" deep including 3/4" face frame. The cutlist is showing the sides to be 17" not 17 1/4" I'm assuming i'm not setting something correctly.

Hi, I am trying to set up my printing and having some trouble.  
I am building cabinets with face frames and a farmhouse design on a slab/inset door.
When I go to the Calc Window, it gives me the options of Material and Master List or Material and Panel Layout.
If I choose Layout, it only shows two pieces of the Poplar stock per page.  These stock pieces are only 5" wide by 60" long. 
I end up with 8 pages of layout cuts with only 20% of the page being used for printing. 
How can I add more pieces to the Layout so I am not wasting so much printer paper?
Thank you,
MD

Hi there, just downloaded the program today and am pretty happy with it. One thing I missed though. How do I change the Font on the elevation drawings?
Thank you in advance.

hello all.  new to the forum.  I'm a plumber so go easy.
I'm building kitchen cabinets for my house.  I decided to build a stand-alone 4" toe kick platform, level it, and set my cabinets on it.  i built all of my base cabinets 24"deep and 30 1/2" tall, these are frameless cabinets, so far so good.

for example, a 24" wide single opening base cabinet using door type 14 and a slab style drawer front with a 5" upper drawer opening, the stretcher, drawer support, and bottom are 3/4" (0.705") birch ply and i want full overlay.

the program is telling me to make the drawer front 6 7/16 tall.  this will fully overlay the front stretcher and the drawer support. it tells me to build my doors 24 13/16 tall. not accounting for any space between the bottom of the drawer front and the top of the door this totals 31 1/4".  this leaves 3/4" hanging below the bottom of the 30 1/2" cabinet.  i am installing toe kick drawers and need to adjust the program to make the door bottom flush with the bottom of the cabinet so the toe kick drawer front will clear, if possible.  not the end of the world if i have to do the math at the saw, but 14 doors, i would rather use the program to do it.
thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I’m adjusting my Shaker drawer fronts and I’m trying to change the recessed panel thickness from 0.75" to 0.25".
I’ve checked the following areas already:
• Drawer Standards
• Door Standards
• General Standards
• Drawer Box Settings
I expected to find a “Panel Options” or “Panel Thickness” setting somewhere in the Door Standards window, but I’m not seeing anything related to recessed/Shaker panel thickness.
Could someone point me to the correct location for adjusting the Shaker drawer‑front panel thickness?
Thanks in advance — just want to make sure I’m not overlooking something simple.

Hello,

I'm working on a simple cabinet: two sides, top & bottom, back, and some shelves.  All the parts look correct except for the rabbets on the two sides for the back.  No matter what I do they're 1/4" wide.  The backs are 1/2" material.  Shouldn't the rabbets be the same width as the thickness of the material for the back?  Perhaps I missed a setting somewhere, but I've looked through all that I've been able to find, and nothing I've tried changes that 1/4" width.

Regards,

Denver

Never mind, I found it.  It was in the Standards->DXF Settings.

This might sound ridiculous but how do you guys go from drawing on Cabinet Planner to actually cutting in a cnc? We have been very fortunate until now that a good friend of mine has a big cnc machine and cabinet vision to go along with it, but we will no longer be able to use his shop for that. I’ve always done my drawings on Cabinet Planner and then doing it in cabinet vision.

Looking for some Advice:

I know it is me but when designing my cabinets I am always 0.75 inches short on my back nailer
for my upper cabinets, I cannot figure out what i am doing wrong I calculate everything manually, but I am trying to get this program to be spot on. I am old school but trying to get into the software, can anyone help me.

Thanks
