Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Oh yes almost forgot!! One can fix the problem of the removal of the centre of the letters by splitting the letters down the centre. I am not sure how it would physically machine though. If you like I will create a TWD file for you to try just give me the gross dimensions of the sign. I know it must...

I fixed your DXF and used it on a display panel in eCabs and generated this JPEG of the result. I hope it is clear enough. One of the immediate problems is that it removes the centre of closed letters like "O" . The other problems I had only become apparent when you actually start machinin...

Hi Brian. i can do the DXF for you but the last time I tried machining numbers and or letters from a DXF or a TWD there were some pretty serious cutter comp issues. The only way i got it right was to do the work in MasterCam

Brian do you intend machining this on a Thermwood or is this just to put in an eCabs presentation?

Hi Jason. You should be able to check the deck depth in the cabinet editor using the measuring tool. You will not be able to nest a component wider than the sheet size in eCabs but if you are using a Thermwood you can rotate the components in Control Nesting and it will nest there. So probably best ...

Hi Lesley. I purchased a router and have been using it and eCabs for 5 years now and yes there have been some frustrations but by and large you are going to get the job done and very well.It is a really powerful system and there is really not much you can not do. You dont need the LDE to create code...

I agree Bryan, been asking for that ability for 5 years now. Was able to edit the lables with Crystal reports but who wants to buy a program that costly just to edit a few lines on a lable? Perhaps they should design things so that one could edit the lable layout in some common database application ...

Done that Kerry, driver is up to date. Like Tom performance is up but zooming and rotating in the LDE is suddenly gone

Yup Kerry! Used to work, not any more.

Good so I am not the only one

Jim you would create a seperate DXF for each part. I would make the backings in my eCabs drawing out of a "no machine" material so I could get the correct sizes for the DXFs. As far as my own experience is concerned I do not cut the miters on the CNC but cut the back panels oversized in th...

Hi Jim
It could be done that way but would probably be simpler to do those parts as DXFs and specify the correct cutter there.

In which way is it slow?

Why dont you look in the Hafele catalogue they have most everything, they are also on-line

Bryan I was referring to the example given by John, the solution of a cabinet on its side works just fine for upper level cabs
