Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

I need to lose some weight so I installed Version 5.1 immediately. Dale, I hope you are reporting problems that you find in the software. The Thermwood team is actually very responsive to getting problems resolved - if they know about them that is. I would also let them know if you have suggestions ...

Thanks Joe. That sounds painful, especially if you are doing lots of doors and drawer fronts. Maybe Thermwood will add it to the next version to have doors and drawer fronts added to a batch. That would make a lot of sense since they are now pushing the MDF door capability of the machines. I would t...

This is just curiosity on my part since I don't yet have a router. Is there a way to do batches of routed doors using eCabs or is this something that is done at the machine? What I'm wondering is if you have a client who just needs doors can you just input the door style and the sizes, or do you hav...

This is one of the weak areas of the program. I would like to see a bunch of changes here. First I would like a selectable auto-dimensioning feature. I would also like a view port setup so that if an object, such as a cabinet box is changed it would also change your view of that object in the LDE - ...

That's funny. I thought that the responses on this forum came fairly quickly. Is there still a Learning Guide available (as for Version 4) or has this been replaced by the eCabs Made Easy and the Manual? Personally, I liked the training DVD that came with an earlier version of the software, but I wo...

Greg,

Another no-no is the dreaded \"Under Construction\" on a page. If a page is not ready for viewing it should not be uploaded to the server.

Thanks guys! That sounds (and looks) great.

To me buying bulk is buying in a quantity sufficient to where the supplier will give us a price break. Some of the suppliers I deal with have different price points depending on the quantity and I assume a lot of that has to do with the sizes of the packages they get from the manufacturers. It is ob...

So, who else out there would like to see bulk hardware quantities and pricing? As it stands in the system some items are reasonably priced, but others are way high, like most of the Blum hardware. I would personally like to see if we could get it setup with some of the higher priced vendors to buy a...

I still recall the change from Windows 98 to XP - painfull!!! Almost all of my software and a lot of my hardware had to be upgraded or replaced. I had a nice HP Photosmart printer, but no driver for it... I think it might be okay in a new PC with all of the Vista compatible peripherals, but I don't ...

Hey Duane,

Are you setting up any West Coast door vendors?

Thanks,

Joe

No, there is currently no easy way to do line boring. Hopefully this will be put into a future version. It would be especially nice if the both hole positions were also referenced from the front.

Joe

Sorry guys. The night I tried to post this I got a bunch of Javascript errors, so I figured the forum was down. Now I see that the files did not go through and I got three copies of the same message with no way to delete them...

I will try to post the files.

Hi Kerry, Yes, there are a whole lot of other things I would like as well, but in the world of Object Oriented Programming I would think that since the Show/Hide dialog code is already written for the Custom Layout Editor it might be something that can be copied it to the LDE without too much effort...

Here are a few renderings for a kitchen that I'm supposed to sign the contract for tomorrow. This is what happens when you have a client in his 20s with a California remodel. The way the California remodel works if you leave a few of the existing walls in a little clunker of a house you don't have t...
