Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Thanks Scott, just knowing that it will do what I need is a the key knowledge I needed. I didn't want to invest a lot of time into a program only to find out it couldn't work for my shop. Time to jump in. Hey Stephan -- I have been using ECabs for many years now without a CNC and started just the w...

I find the best way is to RENDER then COPY then PASTE to IRFANVIEW and then crop and review image and colors and save. Just another way to do it without changing everything. I do my line drawings like that too!!

I must have been half asleep or something when I was doing this. LOL. I was in stretcher settings not top stretcher and it was not supposed to have any toe kick. I just went and tried it again and everything worked fine. Thanks Scott sorry for the trouble.

I opened this cabinet -- and changed the dimensions to the ones in the boxes and also changed the stretchers to 6" and then while in main I saved it. Then I got the dimensions that I highlighted and no change in the stretcher.

I just went back and started with a new cabinet and everything worked fine. If you want me to post it I will for you to check -- let me know.
Cheers Wally.

I have updated and there are problems. Here is a pic of a cabinet that I was trying to alter and it won't do it. I made the stretchers 6" wide instead of 3" and resized but they don't change. I have closed opened and saved but it doesn't change.

You have to pick the single edge at the bottom of the Part Editor screen --



You should look into the Learning Videos for $25 a month -- they would really help you along.

If the cabinet is not a base cab then you can Highlight the cab and set your PLACE MODE to FREESTYLE and use your SHIFT button and Arrows to move it up or down. FWIW.

Try switching your height and width measurements.

Forget it it doesn't work !! Maybe add an image with the grain going the other way and create a new sheet stock with that image.

C'mon Up and at em Dan -- Have a good one!! Double Cheers!!!!

Yes you do but you can't change the joinery in the room setting. Most people build their different Library's of cabinets and then you have the different cabinets to pull from. This takes some time at first but after you do it pays off.

Yes you can change the complete job materials all at once (right click - Change materials ) and save in a different name without losing the first one. Also you can change all the doors and drawer fronts in right sidebar -Adjust cabinet features.

Also make sure that your Place Cabinet is set to FREE STYLE.

Find your Thermwood file on your computer and then the Ecabs file and then your JOB file. It should end in ESJ. Copy this file to a flash drive and then put it in your Themwood - Ecabs - JOB file on your laptop. Then it should open on the laptop. I'm not sure if the different OP systems will affect ...

I'm not Mark but if you use the PRINT SCREEN button on your keypad and then PASTE it to a photo editor like IRFANVIEW (you can download for free) and then you can do what ever you like with the picture.
