Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Did you try the "create part" method also?

Forrest

Your creating 2 pockets and removing. Why not draw the shape and select "create part" as 1 operation?

Forrest

Yes, I will run a test later today.

Scratch that, Windows 10 had set my labeler as the default printer. Its all good now.

I think that control nest is not compensating properly for the amount it trims off the sheet. In my case .05" and the parts with tenon cuts as a flip are not lining up with the outline cutter by that amount. I haven't test on my end yet but thought that it may be known already. I'm going to run...

This just started happening today in batch area. I printed yesterday with no problems. It says the ecabinets system application has stopped working and then shuts down.

Forrest

Scott, call Thermwood. I'm sure they will walk you thru it.

I just encountered the same issue with a cabinet that I've used for a couple years with no issues. It does seem to nest okay though.

Tim, until then you can make a RTA hole pattern that is just a slot and apply it. It will cut it as a dado.

Forrest

Forrest

Stuart, they do make some plastic blocks that have a hole in the center allowing for a 5mm screw to go all the way thru. This will allow you to use the same pattern as all the rest. The other thing you could do is create a pattern with the extra holes needed for the blocks and let it apply to both s...

Scratch that, it doesn't work.

Forrest

You can do this with an rta joint that has 5 holes instead of 1.

Forrest

You will have to do it as a part edit and then constrain them in Constraint manager.
