Re: How much time?

I can tell you that I needed to go through a batch of about 30 cabinets to remove hardware defaults (2 clicks and about 2 seconds to make the change) and it took me almost 35 minutes to do this simple operation. I figured it should have taken me at most 10 minutes to make this default hardware chang...

40 seconds to make a 2 click-2 second change

When in cabinet batch mode, I click on a cabinet to edit it and it takes over 20 seconds from the time I click until I can start editing in the CE. Once changes are made it can take up to another 20 seconds to return to the batch list. So for a simple removing of default hardware (about 2 seconds of...

Square footage of countertop material

Will eCabinets calculate and show the square footage of countertop when added to a custom layout? If so, where is this information available?

Re: Ecabinets with Win 7?

Rick,

So far that's the only hardware place I've had crashing take place. I had a lock up (not a crash that Windows could catch) occur a while back and I've been trying to rack my brain to remember what I was doing when it happened. If it happens again, I will report it to you right away.

Re: Ecabinets with Win 7?

Kerry,

It looks like you work the same way I do. I have a directory for each customer (whether it's an eCabs proejct or furniture). Everything I do for this customer gets put into this directory. I also keep multiple versions so I can backtrack if I need to. Works very well.

Re: Ecabinets with Win 7?

Rick, It happens at random times when I'm working with hardware items, for example Drawer Slides for a cabinet. When I select the medium blue tab for Drawer slides (also happens in Hinges) under either one of the items - Drawer Front Slide or Drawer Front Slide Mount, I will click on the the little ...

Re: Ecabinets with Win 7?

One other thing - many other applications, I use regularly, run much faster with Win 7. I've not had any system crashes since I upgraded about 3 months ago. Well worth the upgrade!

Re: Ecabinets with Win 7?

I'm running V6B3 on Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) and it runs fine. It's not much faster then when I ran on Windows XP Pro (32-bit). I still get occasional crashing. I've just gotten used to saving a job each time I make a change. That way when it does crash I haven't lost much work.

Re: Setting molding costs

Thanks Kerry.

I can't tell what unit of measure the price is for. It just shows Price and an text box to enter a price. Can't tell if its by the foot, by the 8' piece, 12' piece, etc.

Setting molding costs

I must be blind or can't see. :? Where do I set molding costs? When I go into the Moldings tab where it says "Select Molding to Place" there is a way to set the molding along with miter information but no way to set the cost. There is an area for Unit Purchase Cost and Material Cost to be ...

Re: Speed of build3 - Room to CE

Josh, I'm glad you sounded off on this as I experience the same slow down. I've got a Dell XPS with quad processor with 8GB ram running Windows 7 (64-bit), Radeon 4800 series video controller with 1GB ram on board and it just about goes to its knees after editing a couple of cabinets in the CE taken...

Re: Loading wall assemblies into room layout question

Mark, You probably already know this, but make sure you are in Free Style positioning versus one of the other modes of positioning cabinets. This has bit me in the booty a few times. Right Click -> Place Cabinet/Assembly Options -> Place Mode -> Free Style I use this and then the Shift and arrow key...

Re: flickering mouse pointer

I've got the flickering circle with cross-hairs when I go to the countertop editor. As I position the cursor over a corner, it briefly flickers on and off. It was a steady circle with cross-hair icon in V5. Everywhere else in V6 the cursor is fine.

Not sure if the two are related....

Re: Wholesale change of cabinet wood type/color

Thanks everyone!

I was able to adjust door and drawers faces but it looks like I still need to take each cabinet into the CE to adjust exposed cabinet sides, crown molding and some PE parts I put in to the kitchen. But the feature edit did save a lot of time.

Wholesale change of cabinet wood type/color

Is there a way to wholesale change faceframes, doors and drawers faces to a new wood type and color in a custom room layout without having to edit each cabinet individually? I've searched this forum and checked the help manual and "the book" and haven't been able to find anything. Maybe I'...
