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.

Hardware hole patterns
It would be great if the hardware hole editor allowed patterns created below the x-axis to reference from the top of the front. This would allow us to use a pattern for flipper hinges easily. It would also be nice if a door allowed for a top hinge too. While I'm on the subject what about a pattern t...

Turn grain off select parts
The option to turn the grain off on say toekicks and stretchers would be immensely helpful. I know this has come up a few times over the years and I'm sure the need is still there. I have another design software with this feature that I can save a couple sheets on a given job sometimes by doing this...

Re: MDF shaker doors
Thanks Clint! The views keep going up so lots of interest for sure. One other thing that would be nice to work in is the ability to choose different drawer fronts depending on location. In a stack of drawers we do full width rails on lower fronts and reduced width for the top ones. This is also need...

Duplicate Qtys or copy and paste
It would be nice to have the option when doing duplicate left or right to select how many you want. Or to just have a copy and paste function.

Re: MDF shaker doors
Any news on this yet? I'm overwhelmed with orders where I'm having to redraw my customers jobs in another software adding significant time and cost. It's getting old trying to explain to them why I can't just swap the doors out and why the labels won't match their ecab drawings.

Re: Ice Cube overheating
Stuart, everything is running properly as much as I can tell (fans and compressor). It's not getting very dusty but we still blow it out every day. It may be low on refrigerant but I haven't had time to have it checked.
