Yes. We could run the roughing/ hogging tool for longer use because a few little chips to melamine faces would get cleaned up by keeping a good outline tool. I don't know how the wear times would stack up but it should at least amount to less new tool changes. Sometimes for various reasons :roll: be...

Hi Nicholas. The predrills show up and look ok until you nest and you can see that they disappear Yes I can see where they disappear. Its interesting to see how others use the software. I haven't created a drawer with your settings to mess around with to explore, but I wonder if you put a 1mm gap in...

Hi Chris I also use Vectric Aspire but I am not proficient with it. I am more biased towards viacad to do technical workshop type drawings. With all these programs, of course there is the learning time cost. I do presume that you are aware that there is the line drawing editor in ecabs? I personally...

Hi Jeremy. There is a new angle to look at it from. I had not thought of applying it through the pattern manager. A similar situation is when the end thickness gets changed. We use the euro style front overlay hinges. We have had a couple of times when the the ends get changed from 5/8" (16mm) ...

Hi Nick.
Hmmm
There could be something funny there. If there is its typically ghostly.

Hi Nick I'm not sure whats going on there. I am putting the door into the doors, saved, slab file I just use the software, so I like you am just trying to reproduce your steps. I couldn't load your door as it was broken and I have attached the error messages. It still looks like a Constraints thing ...

There is a limit of 10 questions and we have 12 available joints, I left off the last available 2 KD / RTA fastener through and Lock dado through So I suppose list them down in the comments if you feel so inclined. Hi Guys We mainly use frame less cabinets with the Lock Dado setting and use a straig...

I don't use face frames, so I am probably missing the point, but just a thought bump if you are stuck.
The setting in the attached picture seems to adjust that.
Same thickness as shelf material.

Hi Sarah As in the replies above, there are probably as many ways to do this as there are ecab users. I made a little video which took about 30 minutes with interruptions and then I exceeded my free upload limit so I cut it by about 2 thirds and just put the last bit mainly in the part editor up. It...

Hi Jeremy.

Yep, I am over constrainted as well using metric (127mm)

Hi Nicholas. When I examined it in the part editor it seemed okay. When I zoom in I cant see that slit. (it does look like edging in your image) The door came into my ecabs unconstrained. Unless somebody else comes in with an answer, My two cents. I used to have a lot of problems with constraints. I...

Hi Nicholas.
Perhaps if you post the cabinet we can understand better.
I cant fully follow your process or method thinking.
What is the slit?

Beautiful work Scott. Always nice to see other peoples work and methodology. I was also a bit inspired by Kens ideology. I didn't read the book but he did a video or something and he mentioned something like with CNC machining we have to rethink the way we do joinery. I have always aspired to do tha...

Thanks Clint

Hi Clint Thanks for the reply. Just sent those files Looked up Rectangular optimization as you suggested See the little window in the help menu that shows the nest closet to home and furthest from home for offall? You can call me dumb and blind, But I cant see that window? :? I know my nests were cl...
