Re: change drawer slides

I don't know of a way other then to delete all the drawers and then put them back in with the new hardware specified. This would be a really nice feature to have. Personally, I use an Excel spreadsheet to do all my estimating. That way I can leave many things generic in eCabs and then make material ...

Re: Duplicating a cabinet didn't exactly work out

One more note - the appendage does not go away in presentation mode. It's going to be tough showing this to the client... :(

Thermwood - could you help me get rid of this appendage so I can show my client?

Duplicating a cabinet didn't exactly work out

I've attached a job and a picture of a kitchen I'm working on. I selected the cabinet over top of the range and said duplicate to the left. After going through a bunch of error dialogs it finally finished and gave the results in the picture. Notice the "thing" hanging out the the left of t...

Re: Drawer Box Pains... Suggestion

Thanks Kerry,

This is exactly what I do already. I've got a spreadsheet that I can plug these numbers in to and it will give me an estimate for each drawer box. I do the same thing with doors and drawer faces. I just use the latest sq. ft. pricing from my vendor and viola, accurate estimate.

Re: Shop bot link won't open TWD file?

Hi Ron, Welcome to SBLink and eCabs. It is a great way to design and cut cabinets. A couple of tips: PRACTICE!, PRACTICE!, PRACTICE! Don't make the mistake I made and have your first SBLink job be a 75 cabinet custom job. You will have problems, you will need to work on solutions. Once you get thing...

Re: Cabinet cost sheet not calculating right

You're right Kerry. It seems odd that drawer slides are linked to drawer fronts and not drawer boxes. Maybe this will be fixed in a future release.

Re: Cabinet cost sheet not calculating right

Thanks Kerry! I assumed the drawer slides were added with a drawer box, not a drawer face. That brings up another problem. When you set a default slide I thought it was for the entire cabinet not for each individual drawer. Based on what you are saying, you need to remove the default slide for the c...

Cabinet cost sheet not calculating right

I am putting together some seed cabinets. I have specified door and drawer hardware (hinges and slides) defaults. I add doors and drawers to the cabinet. In one case it is a bathroom vanity that has a false drawer front. So I'm adding 4 drawers and boxes, 1 drawer front with no drawer box and 2 door...

Re: Drawer Box Pains... Suggestion

Does anyone know if Thermwood put this on the wish list for one of the future releases? The ability to outsource/alternate source drawer boxes like we can with doors and drawers fronts would be GREAT to have. I've found that it costs me more to make drawer boxes using blind tenon joinery on 5/8"...

My wood patterns are not being applied

When adding doors and drawer fronts to my cabinets I select a rustic hickory image that I dropped into the: \Public Documents\Thermwood\eCabinet Systems\Doors\Conestoga\Finishes\Hickory subdirectory. I can select the image when setting my material. However another material, calico hickory (default) ...
