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.

Re: Short drawer parts

Hey Steve, I have experienced this many times and it was always after a major release. My sides came out about 3/8" shorter and only on the ones that were changed in depth. I couldn't narrow down what caused it but as a precaution I rebuild my drawers after every new build. Since we make a lot ...

Re: CN hangs when nesting profiled MDF doors

Easiest and cheapest thing is buying Desktop Control Nesting. It'll free up your controller for running code and use an office computer that is usually more robust especially if you have a 20 year old controller like mine.

Re: Problem with Slab Drawer Front

You beat me to it Kerry! Same problem on my end. I tried for 30 minutes to get rid of it before realizing what was causing it.

Re: THM Software Crashes With Jobs over 30 Sheets

Your hard drive might be full. You could try removing all older files and then doing a cleanup and defrag.

And there is a limit to 999 parts but that usually gives you an error of to many parts.

Legrabox

Has anyone figured out a way to globally change the Blum Legrabox system? The heights aren't incremental. If it was only one size height then I can adjust the top inset of the back but on a stack of different heights it doesn't work. As far as I know its the only metal side that doesn't use any set ...

Re: Nest large to small outside in

Larger collars are only practical if you have a few small parts say in a scrap material. If you have multiple sheets then it can greatly reduce the yield. Nesting the smaller parts towards the interior does the same thing in giving it some extra material around the part. Roll around outside corners ...

Re: Nest large to small outside in

Hey Mark, tabbing is a great tool if you are doing a ton of little repeat parts and we will often give those a larger collar as well but on regular cabinet parts it just makes for extra work. I'll post a video soon of how the single entry outline handles parts. I also roll around corners so the mach...

Nest large to small outside in

I have the ability in some other software to nest the larger parts on the outside edges of the sheet with the smaller parts on the inside. This greatly reduces the risk of them moving. Would be a nice addition. Another nice feature is a single entry outline pass so after skinning the parts the bit s...

Drawer clamp with RF gluer

Has anyone seen a drawer clamp with an integrated RF gluer? I'm looking at a Dynma Box 3.0 clamp but would like to incorporate a wood welder type system into the clamping corners.
