Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Carmen, That worked on one of the projects. I selected all the cabinets in the project and disassociated from all walls in the project. Then I selected the cabinets I wanted associated with a specific wall and redid the association and it worked. Me thinks eCabs might get a little confused after wor...

Carmen, thanks for that tidbit. I had no idea about the limits.

I know I have associated to at least two walls, but I've known eCabs to do stuff, or undo stuff, without my knowing.

I'll disassociate the cabinets with all walls and try to associate again.

Is it normal that when you select a bunch of cabinets, then select a wall, then select associate cabinets to wall that only a few of the selected cabinets show up when you go from layout editor to a wall view of the selected wall? :wall: I've tried selecting one cabinet at a time to associate and th...

For processing 8 sheets of 3/4” plywood for my stretchers, I think I discovered something. Not sure if it’s a bug in Windows or a bug in SBLink. The stretcher parts were from 3 different jobs (TWD files). When I selected them, I used the Windows feature to click on the first file, hold the shift key...

The sheets I printed out don't represent what is being cut on the plywood. The labels don't even match the sheets. SBLink nested the stretcher parts differently then when I printed the labels. I've got 25 more sheets of plywood for this job (drawer box bottoms, cabinet backs, etc.) and another 250+ ...

An additional piece of information on this puzzle:

The first sheet, of 8, nested perfectly and the labels were right. The 7 subsequent sheets are all nested differently then what the sheets said they should be.

There seems to be inconsistencies in the way ShopBot Link does nesting. I brought cabinets into SBLink on last Friday so I could create my part labels and my layout sheets. I did a Y nesting. All good. Printed my labels (300+) and my part layouts sheets (8 sheets). I shut my SBLink computer down for...

I have noted things in stretcher editor but haven't been able to reproduce them on a reliable basis. Go into stretcher editor Edit/adjust a stretcher Go back to CE I've found on some occasions that the stretchers are now butt ends instead of M&T ends. This has happened to me on several occasions...

I have had problems with stretcher configurations changes. I make all my stretchers to be M&T at each end. I've had eCabs randomly change to butt joints without my knowledge. Got to cut on the CNC and tenons are missing. End up pocket screwing them in place.

Very frustrating!!

Is there a way to create a cutlist from 3 separate jobs? I've got the CNC file created, I now need to create the cutlist for all my solid wood parts (faceframe rails and stiles, drawer faces, etc.)

Thank you sir!!!

I've got two custom layouts for two different jobs. They use similar materials so I wanted to nest them all at once to make better use of material.

How do I combine two custom layouts into one CNC file?

Thanks!

I have been working in the room designer and I think I might have found something that is not working as expected or is working as expected. Not sure. Hoping someone can clarify for me. When I select a wall in room designer, there is a field in the "Add Wall Parameters" that displays the h...

I am getting the attached error message dialog when I try to go from drawer editor to main. As you can see in the 2nd picture, there are NO locks in the cabinet. There used to be locks but I deleted them. This problem sprung up when I try to have a vertical lock in the center top opening. I locked t...

In addition to what Jesse said, I've found that sometimes you just have to abandon (delete) the cabinet and start over. Somehow parameters get so corrupted, there is nothing you can do to fix it. It takes less time to delete it and recreate it then it does to try and track down what is wrong and fix...
