Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

I appreciate all the feedback & ideas guys. I'm sure this info will help others with similar problems.

The one thing I've realized with this app is that often lets us do what we need to do by using some kind of work-arournd, but it's often very time & labour intensive & the result is (in my opinion ...

I just did a search and can't find anything on that Brad. I don't know how to get the KD pattern to attach to adj shelves, but I'm thinking if I could, it might work.

Thanks for your reply Forrest, but I need something a wee-bit less time consuming and a whole lot more dynamic than that I'm afraid. I'm not interested in creating 4 statically located holes on each a/s manually. They need to dynamically align with the holes in the gables (in/out).

Is there any way ...

Is it possible to have adjustable shelves drilled on the bottom face for this shelf pin? If so, could you please tell me how? Thank you.

I have tried that Mike, but no luck. I would like to make a library of shop drawings in the LDE for all my standard cabinets in one job and another set of shop dwgs for each job with whatever standard cabs as well as custom cabs it requires. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. How does ...

Is there any way to copy an entire page from the LDE of one job into another?

That's pretty impressive Scott! I would have never thought of doing it that way. Thank you for taking the time to enlighten me on this option. I'm sure there will be others who also benefit from this.

Cheers

Oh sure, just another way to do something simpler AND easier! That's all I need.


Thanks Tim

This post should have probably been named "Determine exact material thickness used before from TWD file" but I can't change it.

Never mind, I think I found it. For anyone that's interested, here's how I did it.

1) Load the TWD file (in my case, into the ShopBot Link).

2) Select the material using the selection filter (if there's more than one).

3) Nest the material.

4) Without the USB hasp installed on your computer ...

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to determine the ACTUAL material thickness used in a TWD file from a past job? I use generic material thicknesses in the library and then usually change those to exact thicknesses at the shop, where I simply mic the material when I create the TWD file.

But I'm not ...

Thank you Scott. I now understand why you use the closed contour section rather than getting the dimensions elsewhere beforehand. I'm still not clear on the edging though, but at this point I'm not worried about it. I'll associate the part with the cab now too.
Cheers

Thanks for your quick and helpful info Scott! I'm obviously not as experienced with eCabs as you are, and I was even able to learn a few shortcuts from your video. Thanks for taking the time to post this. If you don't already work for TW, they should seriously consider bringing you on board.

I do ...

Does anyone know how I can make the top/bottom for these cabinets in two-pieces that are butt joined (like the deck beneath the L/S in the photo)? I use 1 and 2 mm thick edgebanding. Cutting these parts with a radius is easy, but putting the edging on and trimming it by hand is difficult. And since ...

Thanks Rick, that's good news. I look forward to trying this.
