I’m not sure. I’d love something between the free and $500 price tag of the pro version.

I should of been looking for “what’s the quickest way to do it” instead. Thanks for the tip.

First make the extruded ogee profile around the corner using follow me and group that object. Then instead of making another corner piece, just make a plane on the back of the flat back of the grouped ogee corner and draw the scroll saw profile. Extrude the scroll profile through the ogee and extend past by an inch or so, effectively making a “handle” of sorts. Copy and flip along green (or maybe red?) axis to make the adjacent profile. Now explode the ogee, triple click the whole deal, and intersect selected. Now you can look from plan view and make an erase window around the over extruded handle of the scroll profiles to erase the majority of the geometry then make an erase window at the bottom corner of each scroll “cutoff” and you are done. Select all and make component then copy/paste to finish the cabinet model.

This method will save a lot of eraser time and I believe is more true to real life woodworking than the method you describe in that you would most likely shape the ogee profile then scroll saw out the waste.
