Re: Version 5.2

Sorry to be like a squeeky hinge but can't we have some countdown on version 5.2 release? It seems the release has been the longest coming so I assume you are keen to make it 100% ready. The other thought about releases is have it available in advanced beta to the users. All who use it know its flak...

Solid Surface cutting with nesting of parts

Hi Everyone I'm still learning the software but was after a bit of advice. Do you think you could get the software to nest all the parts required for a solid surface top? I'm not quite sure on the best way to go as being very green with the software. I thought maybe create a custom cabinet that is b...

Re: Version 5.2

Thanks for the info Jason. With version 6 and I guess any version how do you work out what area's to work on? Is it based on dealers input and users feedback? Do you ask the beta users for their input? If someone wanted a area improved to suit their operations and you didn't think the software chang...

Re: Version 5.2

Well its the new year Todd and Jason. Are we getting closer to a beta release? Is there a list yet of what made it into 5.2? How long does it normally hang out it Beta testing land before it is released to the community? Sorry to be a pain. The video's is what I'm hanging out for, being a new user. ...

Re: Is eCabinet a closed software architecture?

Hi Jody, I have been thinking about Thermwoods approach to their Ecabinets software. They give it out free but still like to know who is using it via registration. They encourage making catalogue cabinets and users selling those. Now someone is asking can they add onto the software to do in-house th...

Hi Guys, The problems that Ecabinets may have in getting people to swing away from their expensive software could be easily overcome by the Ecabinet software having different modes or feel of other existing woodworking software just as the word processing software had to do. If you want a word perfe...

Hi Dan, Would you mind telling me what Ecabinets Magazine Vol and issue you received in early October as I haven't seen my copy. I believe they are being sea freighted to Australia so maybe my copy has gone astray but will check with the Thermwood guys in Sydney. Hope the weather in your neck of the...

Hi Georgi Sorry I can't help you with your problem directly but I'm waiting for my Thermwood to arrive early next year. With my current machine which is a multicam clone, I have trouble with my sides or cable ends. When you put them inside to inside they aren't perfectly level or flush. One side we ...

I stubbled across this free lance teacher in NZ. I believe Eve is available to work for Thermwood http://blogs.zdnet.com/emergingtech/?p=752 Don't miss the quicktime demo as the New Zealand accent is fairly out there. Just ask her to say 6 a few times and that will put you off the maths. Regards Nev...

Hi Michael, I'm in the very earlier ages of understanding Ecabinets but I can see just how powerful it is. Once I know it backwards it will produce some fantastic results and better still some accurate material cutting for the workshop. I guess no-one has a great time on there hands but it could be ...

Hi Nick, I feel your suggestion of video downloads is a good one. I'm trying the self learn process and will have some training but old habits die hard when you know one cad program backwards after using it for 2 decades. If I could see the Ecabinets in a video form in say 5 minute modules that woul...

I'm booked into a training session in Perth on December 3rd and 4th with Ecabinets so that should help fast track me. Now the 5.2 is in Beta stage, is there a final list of what made the release? I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in what the programmers have been slaving away on? I guess its ...

Hi Kerry, Thanks for the reply. I think you are on the right track with time allocation. The way we have handled it is to break work into work centres. For example a kitchen if say a paint mdf door style will have the same work centres for repeated kitchen that type whereas maybe a bought in timber ...

Internal time allowance and material used

I was looking through Ecabinets made easy and the help manual about using excel to access data for cutting lists etc. At the moment we extract data from the planit program that gives us time allowed on a job, the break down on what the time was allocated for. We also get a material allocated list. W...

Thanks Dean. That does explain the difference. I'll buy them according to the persons needs. I'll get the faster one because I need the bragging rights.
