Thank you Isaac,
So I add these rectangular cable managements behind TVs etc along with electrical outlet back boxes. 
I constantly have to remind myself of the size to draw them into a panel. Much like this image where i opened the inner tooling and drew up the cut-out I needed and placed it appropriately
Can I save this cut out for when I open up a panel to create some inner tooling I can insert this pre exiting cut out and place it where required rather than having to redraw it continually.
This cut out is rather simple however some are more complex and id like to build up a database of cut-outs that I use.

Hello Keith,
If I have understood you correctly, then yes this is possible.
Can you please send me an example (an image or a file) so that I can properly understand what you are trying to do?
I can then show you an example.
Best regards, Isaac

Super Isaac, Thank you worked perfectly.
1 more question please if I may.
Can I build a data base of inner tooling’s for socket cut-out etc and save them so I can just insert them into a panel when required as opposed to have to draw them each and every time. Once we have the drawing and size of the cut outs I’m sure it is easy enough to locate the cut-out where I need then using the inner tooling function.

Hello Keith,
1. To adjust the width of your drawers, open the drawers sub-method as seen in image 1 below:
Then, for each drawer, and depth, you can adjust your size requirements. Reduce the lateral slack value by 1mm (this will remove 1mm from each side):
2. You are required to adjust a sub-method for material styles. See the following link that explains each sub-method, with material styles included. This will also be the solution to setting materials for your panels.

Hey Guys,
2 quick question please if I may.
1. My Blum drawers id like to reduce them in width by 2 mm, 1mm from either side. How do I make this change in polyboard across the full programme and all build methods ?
2. In some build methods when I select new cabinet and build method I wish to use Its giving me out a Material I do not wish to use.
How do I change the material back to its default selection for going forward ?
Also actually when I add cover panels or worktops it is also using an incorrect material ( same one in the build method ) and I am spending quite some time changing them.
How do I default this back to another particular material. ?
Thanks Again
