Stop auto connecting shelves

[Larry_Sweeney]

Is there a way to stop shelves from automatically connecting? I think this might be a bug because when I run my two shelves to the wall, in the situation shown in the attachments, they automatically join together into the adjoining room. I thought there might be a setting I'm not familiar with that will avoid the two shelves from automatically joining. If I pull either shelf away from the wall at least 1 5/8" they won't join. I'm using X18 and I don't ever remember having this issue with previous versions, but maybe I never had this situation before and it has always been an issue under these circumstances.

I think I resolved this issue in the process of playing around with the auto connecting of the shelves. I rotated one of the shelves, so the front of one shelf faces the wall. In doing this they didn't auto connect and as far as I can tell, doing this, didn't cause any other issue. At least for the time being.

I think it has always worked this way.  I know I have run into it with cabinet soffits when I used to use them all the time before we had polyline solids.

 

You could also try turning off "create auto fillers for angled connections" In the general cabinet defaults.  This will turn it off for everything in the plan though which you may or may not care about. 

 

Another old trick you can do is shift-select one of the shelves and make it into an architectural block.  This will prevent it from attaching to any shelves outside of the block.

Thanks DB...................I will "file" your work arounds. I still don't think they should connect into another room. The walls should have stopped that "operation".
