My issue is that I can't seem to find a support piece for the shelf in the cut list for the cabinet. Being that long, I don't think it would handle being supported by shelf pins on the side. 
I would think it needs a piece or two of plywood screwed in underneath it, as well as a support piece under the middle of it.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks

I have a base cabinet that is 24" wide and 18" deep using 3/4 plywood which is being assembled with pocket hole screws. When calculate the panel cutlist the bottom panel is 23 1/4 x 17 1/2. The depth of the panel is correct at 17 1/2 but the width should be 22. I set any dado setting to 0 but I must be missing another setting somewhere. I typically build my face frame 24" wide which extends 1/4 beyond the cabinet on both sides. So the interior dimension of the bottom panel would be 22x17 1/4, but the dimension I see in my cutlist is 23 1/4 x 17 1/4.  Am I missing a setting or should I be doing something differently?

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,

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.

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?

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.

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