Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Mark, One of the things I miss, when using eCabs, is shortcut keys. I hate always having to take my hands off the keyboard to do something. Like you said, most all other Windows programs support preprogrammed short cut keys or user programmable shortcut keys. In a program as complex as eCabs, shortc...

Thanks Tim. I've been working with Clint on this issue. The error is not happening when I'm nesting. It happens when I click the Write To Shopbot button. It appears that the software may not be dropping to the next smaller bit in the tool database to perform the operation. Clint is having the develo...

When I try and write a file to Shopbot for cutting, I keep getting this error. It is pretty meaningless as it's written and displayed as it gives you NO indication of where the problem lies. I'm sure there is something in the design causing this to happen. When the software is creating the code for ...

To bad they can't be scaled like a display object. I would also like to see an option to lock them to a specific location (post on the corners) so when the cabinet is resized they move with it. Forrest It would be nice if we could make display boards an integral part of a cabinets design. Be parame...

Thanks Scott.

I've subscribed to your YouTube channel. I look forward to watching your videos and learning a bunch of new stuff. Thank you for taking the time to do those!!!

I've attached the cabinet with associated display boards. Every time the customer wants to make size changes all the display boards don't fit. There are 3x3 posts at each corner, 1x1.5 "stretchers" (not eCab stretchers) to hold the slats displayed at the bottom and then the slats themselve...

Thanks Scott. How do you resize a display board? I can't find in the help files how to do this.

DISREGARD!!!

I think I found the problem.....

Is there a way to specify mitered faceframes versus the butt, mortise/tenon, puzzle joints in faceframe editor?

I can't find anything in the Help manual about using the Display Board function. So here goes. I've put some display boards in a cabinet. I have associated those boards with my cabinet. When I resize the cabinet, is there a way I can also resize the display boards, or do I need to delete them all an...

I've got a little bit non standard cabinet I'm trying to add drawer boxes to. Cabinet is attached. The cabinet sides and back have a -3" top inset. Basically after I add drawers - 7.75" lower drawer then an upper drawer to fit the remaining space - I go back to Main and the drawer boxes se...

Ron, Make sure all your vacuum motors are properly grounded to the common ground point. I did something that most people wouldn't bother doing, I wrapped bare ground wire around my vacuum piping to make sure I could bleed off any static buildup. I know it sounds excessive but I learned, the hard way...

Jim, you are correct in the nesting issues. I use Shopbot Link and have on many occasions saw nesting that could have been done to save sheets of plywood. I've had parts stuck into the middle of a sheet for no reason that I can see. If course I'm not privy to the internal workings of the nesting alg...

There is something wrong between Shopbot Control and your CNC. I've been using SBLink for 9 years and have never had it do what you are explaining and I cut close to a thousand sheets of plywood a year. Not sure what is happening but sounds like the machine might be losing comms with the controller ...

Is there a way to set the depth of a dado on one end of, say a deck, different from the depth of the dado on the other end of the deck? For instance, let's say I would like a .375" dado on the right end, but a .5" dado on the left end. I haven't seen anything anywhere for this but thought ...
