Have you heard anything from the engineers?

Thanks

Troy,

They see the issue, but are backlogged with other software updates. I'm working to see if I can find a work around. I was out earlier this week and have been playing catch up.

Matt, The layout of the part in eCabinets will dictate how the part is run in Profile Modeler. Taking a cabinet back as an example, the width of the back will run parallel with the Y axis on your machine, the height of the back will run parallel with the X axis. Depending on your needs, have you tri...

Troy, Not sure exactly whats going on with this one, I'll have to send it to the software engineers. The attached picture is the backplot of the code. Each of the white lines is the path the tool takes. So the center one that cut correctly has the correct shape. For whatever reason the outer two cir...

Also worth noting for Troy and others, if you are bringing in geometry to Shape Manager or Contour Mode of Part Editor, it is worth looking at the DXF Option setting in the right click menu. Looking at Troy's part, I'd guess his setting is set to Import Polylines as Lines. This outputs all those bla...

Troy,

Can you post an export from Control Nesting? Can I also get a picture of some settings in Profile Modeler? Open Profile Modeler, go to Operation and choose Defaults. Take a picture of that screen so I can get your defaults.

Sorry for a delay in response. You can create a contour line to run the profile down. You are not limited to edges of parts to sweep profiles. Once you create edges, you can offset the bottom edge up the 7", then trim the length of the line to that line. Depending on the direction you want to c...

Something is going on with the Single Pass Tenon Cuts being checked. I'll have to send it to the software engineers to have a look at. Looks like unchecking that setting lets it work correctly, just a bit more machining time to cuts the tenons.

It wrote an odd line of code in there. Can you load the file into Control Nesting and then get me an export? Once its loaded go to File and then choose Export. Save it somewhere you can find it. If you can post it, that would be great, if you can't, you can upload it here http://www.ecabinetsystems....

Can you post the actual CNC code you ran? Unless you have changed it, the default save location is D:\data\Rolling_Nest\Cnc-Files. If there are multiple sheets, let me know which sheet it was on to save me a great deal of time. May need other stuff, but we will start with that.

Jesse,

What version of Control Nesting are you on?

You can also use the Trim Two tool for the intersection points. The tops of the line don't touch the vertical portion, the bottoms of the line intersect the lower vertical lines. Something is off in the DXF from Amana. Mastercam does not recognize it as a chain.

Tom,

We should have it added in the next release.

Don, I opened your cabinet and saw each stretcher had a -.2" inset for the inset relative to the back. When you set a stretcher relative to another part, you need to readjust the inset value back to zero. If your's each show zero, try restarting your computer and eCabinets to make sure nothing ...

Tom,

Release of THM version 10.2.2 has Label Recovery as a Custom Action Option.

I took 52 seconds to finished "calculating" but when I used version 6.06 it happened in a blink of an eye. so something is off I agree, just wanted to make sure if it wasn't able to calculate at all. Little details can make big differences. I'll get it listed for the software engineers to...
