"L-Shape with Base Mounts" enclosure Issue
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2018 10:17 am
I have an issue with the "L-Shape with Base Mounts" enclosure, which corresponds to the enclosure I need. In fact, their Base/Cover representation in Protocase Designer doesn't match.
Indeed, the cover shows 3 mountings holes on the sides; whereas the Base shows only one on the sides and two at the back.
I have a PCB of 6.55" x 5.5" to fit into the enclosure. In the Properties, I've defined a length of 7.0" (> 6.55"), a depth of 5.5" which excludes the 0.03" metal thickness (PCB shall fit perfectly between the frontplate and backplate), and a height of 3.9". When I edit the Bottom Inside face of the Base, I measure an internal Depth of 5.278", instead of 5.5". I tried other enclosures from your database and didn't see this problem.
How can I fix this without cheating on the depth in the Properties thumbnail and risk to order an enclosure which doesn't represent what I need?
Furthermore, I found out that the origin of the red X,Y,Z vertices in the "Inside" view of the "Bottom" "Inside" face of the "Base" doesn't seem to be positioned properly.
