Hello all,

I've been working on a miterfold countertop product and placing Tite-Joints in the subtop in that product. 

I have Tite-Joints set up as a hardware token which adds the machining token. This works great. However, if there's another countertop joined to a finished edge, we still use the miterfold the full width of the edge, meaning the front edge panel extends the full width of countertop, but only extends down the thickness of the countertop where the joint is. 

I used a PLINE machine token to cut out that section from the front edge, but because the front edge panel extends the full width, the tite-joint machine tokens are getting their associative rotation from the front edge panel instead of the subtop. Even though the section where the tite-joints and front edge panel intersect doesn't exist since it was cut out using a PLINE, Microvellum still applies the a 90* Y rotation on the Tite-Joints, leaving them incorrectly placed. 

I was able to workaround this by creating 2 separate pieces for the front edge, with one having the full height of the panel and the other being the smaller height where the joint is. I also tried leaving the associative rotation field blank for the Tite-Joints so I could manually control the rotation, but when I did that they didn't seem be getting drawn at all. There also doesn't seem to be a way to control anything other than the one rotation axis in the associative rotation field. 

Does anyone know any simpler ways of placing these tite-joints correctly without needing to create two different parts for the front edge panel? Or does anyone know any other info about controlling hardware rotation that I missed? These miterfold parts are only for drawing purposes anyway, so the solution I found works, but I could see running into similar issues later. And it would be nicer to be able to draw this fully correct as well.

Hopefully I explained this well enough, but I've attached some screenshots of what I'm talking about also. In those, nothing in the hardware parameters was changed, only separating the edge panel part into two separate parts.

Thanks!
