    Each part in the verticals can have the edges, that are to be edged, changed using the checkboxes.

     

     Machining page

    Each part in the vertical can be machined as a rail or as the part it is. This allows parts to use the hole spacing and other information set for rails.

    Example: If you wish to use the front as a replacement for a front rail, you can set it to machine as rail. It will then use the hole quantity and spacing specified in Drawing Properties or the cabinet for it's machining.
