Not for me it seems. I checked the attachment I sent and both the path and the design were exploded. Still, choosing the path (highlighting all four sides) and then choosing follow me turns the sides to black and follow me will not work.
This should be so simple but it's the only one of the tools I haven't had work properly.
I appreciate your help.
I do not have any hidden geometry. Still not working.
Including the simple file.
I cannot get Follow Me to work at all. I have imported a form to use, then selected the path (making sure everything is exploded and that the form is perpendicular), and when I select the follow me tool the path goes from selected to black and I get the no-can-do red circle. I must be missing something.
I have followed all the tutorials I could find but it just refuses to work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank to all for responding.
I guess, as usual, I didn't make myself clear. What I am building, in effect, is a empty picture frame. I will be using the stile bit on all four components on the inside edge to accomodate the raised panel. I then will use the stile bit again on one end of the four components. Next I will be using the rail bit on the opposite four ends of each component. What I end up with is a type of mortise and tenon joint on each corner. The end of each component then has to be changed from 90 degrees to 45 degrees. When put together they form the picture frame to put the raised panel in. I also need a way to expand or contract these parts to accomodate other cabinet doors of different sizes. I am going to try to include the pattern of the stile and rail bits I previously made. Also there is two boards which have to be joined, the ends put at 45 degrees, and the stile pattern placed on the inside edge between the two 45 degree ends.

I am relatively new to SU. I am not new to computers, built 3 of my own, nor am I new to CAD type programs. 3 T's of storage, 4 M's of RAM, Quad processor.
I have followed a lot of tutorials and can do most of the basic 90 degree connections, cuts, builds, etc. What I am trying to do is build a set of kitchen cabinets. Straight foward, not a hard task. Except, I'm trying to build mitered corners on the door and drawer front stiles and rails. I can put the design of the stile on a board and the design of the rail on a board but I cannot, then, turn it 45 degrees and maintain the width and/or length. In other words, make a component 3/4 inches wide and 12 inches long. Then put a stile design on one end and a rail design on the other end. Now change the ends so they are 45 degrees instead of 90's as if you were making a picture frame.
I've been working for four days now trying to no avail.
I'm a step by step person so "just use the Follow Me tool" doesn't work for me. Been there, done that, doesn't work!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
