Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

yes this would be a single Mdf large door made to look like 3 drawers on the bottom and a top door, all out of one piece. I was not aware of the group cabinet parts function thanks for bringing that to my attention, is there a guide for this or should i just mess around until I understand it (kinda...

Hi Forrest and Clint Not sure if it helps. It seems to work on a frameless base unit. Forrest, you could use the rotate cabinet if you needed to display it. I used your .tol tool to apply the bead. I couldn't rotate the tool to apply the smaller groove. (I seem to remember that clicking on the left ...

Hi Nicholas. So I had a look at your door. And started a new door from scratch in the door designer. First I was having problems with constraining the pattern the way you had drawn it because the points were on top of one another. So I played around with the method a little bit putting in 2mm gaps b...

Hi Nicholas I haven't had time to try your system. I'm not sure if you are trying to match wood grain and cutting the single door into drawers and door on a panel saw or sliding saw after machining? are you aware of the group door and drawers function? Right click in the cabinet editor, group the pa...

Hi Nicholas. Definitely do as Scott Mashburn has suggested. You can create doors in the door designer and save them with the constraints for use on multiple cabinets, or edit individual slab doors from the cabinet / assembly editor and save that unit as a one of design. I looked at the (problem has ...

Hi Nicholas. I think the way i would do this, is to take that bottom shelf as it is now with all the holes in the correct positions, into the part editor. ( perhaps set up a 250mm / 10 inch one for the template)( So the pattern doesn't load off the part) Go into the contour area, (the button in betw...

Hi Chris I had a random thought on this. Check to see if all your edging materials have an image assigned to it. I had named a material for edge tape called none with a zero thickness. Somehow it lost it's image as in the picture. (I reloaded it from another job that I knew had it on it to show you....

Hey Forrest. You are making me feel good.

Hi Michel. There are lots of settings to suit the way you want to work and it could also depend on the model and features of your machine. This is the way we do it. We don't have auto labeling. so we apply the labels by hand. We print labels and sheet layouts as we cut sheets. As each sheet cuts we ...

Thanks for the help guys. It was a twofold problem. As well as the ramping issue I also had some jobs with small radiuses that was messing with the roughing and my settings. Of course I had to pick 3 jobs with small radii to test, so from this small sample I was feeling like every job was broken. yo...

Thomas. Yes.!!!! I thought I was the only one. I have this ramping problem and i am having real problems nesting. I was back and forthing with Clint. (Oposite time zones.) So I presume the guys are working on it. I just write my experience in case you spot whats triggering it. It seems to get progre...

Hey Stuart. Don't beat yourself up. Ecabs is one complicated program. We all work in our own little silo's and the way we do things tends to be because it worked for that thing last time and we just keep doing it that way. The flexibility that Ecabs offers allows us to approach the same outcome from...

Hi Stuart. So the way I interpret what you need is a rebate to the back of a standard flat door? What I call a pre-finished double sided melamine board, and I think what you refer to as PL is plastic Laminate which is the same thing. Do you need the slot as in your picture of the profile tools? or j...

Thanks for your patience Larry.
That worked......
Wont be long untill the guys in white gowns come to take me away....

Hi Larry.
Sorry I was not a bit clearer.

Thanking you
