Split oversized back
Hi all, is there an option in the global settings or product properties to split a back if it goes over the material size? What is the procedure for dealing with oversized backs? Thanks, Pete.Tall Fridge Cabinet Filler
Not sure if this is the correct area to put this, seems that the Tall Fridge cabinet scribe filler subassembly ignores a situation where there is a full end panel and only makes the filler the height of the cabinet and not the full height of the unit.Blum Aventos HK-XS

Is there an easy way to make a part draw as one size but go to the CNC as a different size, without having to make multiple cutparts in a product? For example, we draw our scribe for submittals as whatever width the architect has specified so that when we redraw the elevation of it we don't have to constantly change the dimension. However, we send it to the CNC as no less than 3" because our CNC tends to have problems with parts smaller than 3". As another example, on our countertops that are wallBuyout Doors in Reports
