In Cabinet Vision the size of the drawer box is influenced by several things. All of which are a result of my choices. But the short answer to your question is that I can make a drawer of any size.
When you set up your drawer construction style there is the option to have the drawer "standard" heights or driven by the reveals set in the slide catalog.
I set mine to standard sizes, of which I choose. Then it finds the largest standard height that fits the opening taking into account the reveals at the top and bottom set by the slide.
The depth (front to back) is similar. We use tandems most of the time so I have the standard depths in 3 inch increments and the software uses the largest size that fits taking into account the rear clearance I set in the construction method. I can override that to shorten a box if needed by editing it at the cabinet level.
The width of the drawer is strictly driven by the slide selected. The software simply reduces the width of the box by your setting from the slide. This can also be changed on the rare occasion it's needed by changing the clearance at the cabinet level.
This morning I set up a "cabinet" that is nothing more than a dovetailed box. I created a slide with no influence on the size of the drawer. I deleted all the cabinet parts. Enter the size of the "cabinet" and that is the exact size of the drawer box. And I set the drawer up so I can have it any size, no standards.
I did this so I can place an "order" for any size box without having a "cabinet".
So I can open a new job. Go to the reports page. Hit "Order Entry" and drag that object out of the library onto the page. Change the size as needed and the quantity. Do that as many times as needed and optimize then generate code for the machine. No room with walls, nothing but drawer boxes on an order form. Then cut parts.
Now all I need is to find someone that wants drawer boxes. Not sure whats harder, the set up or the sale.
I seemed to get carried away there but I hope someone finds this interesting.:whistling
