4 banks of lower drawers

[cabinetmaker68]

I am trying to put 4 lower drawer banks together to make a single run of cabinets basically a combo unit. I have tried to do a combo unit, according to the instructions by leaving off the right stile of the left cabinet. But I can't get the total length of 93" to come out on the plans. also I don't see the plus signs that are suppose to appear when building the unit in the program. Any help would be much appreciated.

From your description I am not able to tell what you might be doing wrong.

Are the cabinets exactly next to each other on the same wall?

Did you set one of the adjoining stiles to zero for each pair or only the left one of the 4?

Rob, I did everything correctly. And the drawing comes out correctly. The problem is when you print out the shop plans, You can not get it to print out showing the four drawer banks together. What it does is only print out three drawer banks together. It shortens the dimensions for the third drawer bank to fit the page. For example the third drawer bank is suppose to be 17.5 inches wide. It shortens it to 15 inches wide due to the width of the paper, and totally cuts off the fourth drawer bank. Any suggestions? Don Miller

Please email the file to me so I can see what might be happening.

The program isn't capable of changing the size of a cabinet.
