Re: Dowels in eCab - labels

I'm not going to be of much help but Ecabs did dowel construction for the first few years. I would think the "User Defined Operations" is your best option for applying them now.

Re: Is rendering playing up for anyone else?

Nvidia just came out with another driver update that fixed it for me.

Re: Cutlist programs

Thanks Guys, So I'm currently doing as Kerry describes and then loading that file into an online optimizer that I went ahead and paid for. I can sort and save the xls file as a csv and import it to the cutlist and it will nest each width material into cut sheets. I print those out for the panel saw....

Re: Turn grain off select parts

I envision a drop down menu of part types similar to the change material option in ecabinets but something else that would be nice is the option to select a part on a sheet and turn grain off so you can rotate just that part.

Cutlist programs

Do you guys use any free or cheap cut list programs? I have used this online one called cutlist optimizer that works pretty well for drawer box parts. I export the parts list from ecabs to excel and save it as a csv which I can then import to the optimizer. This way I can get the drawers to nest in ...

Re: Is rendering playing up for anyone else?

I think I did an update to my video card and that or a windows update broke it. For some reason I feel like my video card isn't working anymore and it's using onboard graphics. When I run a test on the card the results are good so can't figure that out. I remember those two settings were for compute...

Re: Is rendering playing up for anyone else?

I've had the same issue for a couple months now on one of my computers. It acts like its doing the render but nothing changes. Take the same job to another computer and it renders just fine. I figure it's an update windows did.

Re: CN Feature request

Something else that helps the roughing tool last longer is oscillation. It spreads the wear along the edge. It doesn't have to oscillate much to make a huge difference. Guys who run pod machines use it because of the added clearance under the part but it can still help on the initial pass.

Also single entry outline and smallest parts to interior would be nice.

Re: Progress bar glitch

Kerry,

My newer laptop doesn't do it so I'm sure a new desktop would fix it but its still a very capable setup so kinda hard to justify replacing at this point. I think it's graphics card related but maybe something Thermwood can look at and adjust.

Progress bar glitch

I just started experiencing this. When doing a rebuild or some type of function that displays a progress bar the box never closes. Just hangs up on the screen. Usually when I re gen or go back to another screen it will disappear but still an annoyance. I'm thinking it may be a new W10 update but eve...

Major bug with edgebanding

I have a job with a few assemblies in them. One of the assemblies has 5 duplicates. The edgebanding is the correct count on the single unit but doesn't multiply by 5. Not only am I shy the edgebanding needed to complete a rush job but under quoted by $730 so not good. Let me know if you need the fil...

Re: Line Drawing Editor Crashing

Your specs are definitely on the bare minimum for larger jobs. Dedicated Open GL graphics cards help as well. I looked up one of my larger jobs with drawings and it's just under 79mb. It's a little slow but doesn't crash in LDE. I have a Dell Precision desktop and 2 laptops with Quadro cards that ev...

Re: Line Drawing Editor Crashing

Hey Jay, what are your computer specs? Not sure what it is about line drawings but they seem to require a lot of computing power.
