Sorry I misunderstood you, want to drill them in the face of the sheet. This can be done with most any program that makes a cut file.

CabinetpartsPro exports a DXF drawing of the nested parts. You can use this dxf with your Cad/Cam and add the holes where you need them. The option you are looking for will be in the next update of CabinetpartsPro. Here are a few of the options Cabinetpartspro has now. Import a cabinet or parts list, drill system holes hinge holes and drawer guide holes dados for the backs. Blind dados will also be in the next update. If you have any questions on what else Cabinetpartspro can do give me a call at 239-596-0060.
I know this is an old post but I cant find anything else on this issue. I bought CPP about a month ago. I am not a cabinet maker, I'm a sign guy. I have had a sign customer of mine who is a cabinet maker who is interested in supplying me with sheet goods and hand drawings with dimensions and wants me to cut the cabinet parts for him. I am still learning this software, but there is no 3D view. I have version 8.7.7 I emailed CPP but figured I would ask here too.
Thanks,
Dave
I also sent email to the CPP email address about this issue.
Is it something I am doing incorrectly? I'm a Sign Guy, not Cabinet Guy. But, I am usually able to figure out the basics of a piece of software.

You need to make/add cab before you can have a 3d preview.

Thanks Kyle,
Attached is screen shot. I had entered many different sizes before my post.
Right now I am just trying to enter a cabinet size, have it save to aspire, (this part is fine)
Then I have to tool path it manually. I need the 3d exploded view to try to figure the tool paths out.
All I'm saying is if they cant get that view to work, then instead of spending my $250 with CPP I could have went another way.
Dave
He has video's you can watch. Make toolpath templates in aspire. Then when you copy to aspire it will toolpath everything the way want after you spend the time with it. For the price of the program it is great. Don't take this the wrong way but for the price he can't do a lot of individual training for each user. That's why the video's are there.
He responds fine to emails from me, but not instantly.
As for 3d stuff, it's over rated. A cabinet is just a box. CPP is not a great 3d program, but a great box cutting program.

In cab list right click on cab you want to view and select 3d view.
