If you are a Cabinotch Face Frame user, it might seem a little odd that you have to hinge your doors in the Cabinotch Full Access Library for KCD.
Well, there is actually a very good reason for that. In the face frame world, there is no machining for hinges, but in the Full Access world, we actually machine two 5mm holes 32mm apart for Euro Hinge Plates (ideally you will purchase Hinge Plates that already have a 5mm Euro screw started, or utilize a split dowel). So, if you do not add the hinging, then we do not know where to machine the hinge plate holes.
Hinging your doors can be done in multiple ways:
- All at once by going to Doors > Add Handles + Hinges (I don't recommend this method as it may hinge one or more doors incorrectly, and if you don't notice it, that may cause you some grief later).
- One at a time by going to Doors > Change 1 Hinge.
- One at a time by holding the Shift key and clicking on the primary button of your mouse (my preferred method).
Moral of this story, if you don't see the hashed lines like the ones in the image shown, you will NOT have hinge plate holes machined in the side panels of your cabinetry.
