Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Kerry, Lorin is building a box, but not a normal square one. I have been using ecabs for YEARS longer than the other program. It is just that easy to use. I even took a class with Dennis on ecabs. I started with ecabs back 5 or 6 years ago. (several versions ago) I have been using the other one less...

Kerry, I am sure you are correct, but if you ever ran the other program you would understand.

It is like the difference between skinning a deer with a Rock, or a Razor sharp knife.

Ecabs is great for boxes though and I love the cutting link.

Lorin, The drawing tools in ecabs are poor compared to aspire, but you can make dxf files in aspire and bring them in to the cabinet part editor. Look down a few post and I had asked about how to do it. There were several good answers that helped. It would still be faster and easier to just toolpath...

For those of you that downloaded build 2 how did it do with the speed issues and bogging down your pc?

Kenneth

What kind of upgrades are available?

Gonna have to think about this one.

Are we talking hardware or software ?

No, but I didn't buy it the first year it they started making it.

I have the first wife I bought though.

Bryan, He may be the only smart one among us. lol

I should have known better, but couldn't help myself.

Kenneth

Don, It sounds like you may know just enough to go over there and fix everything. lol

Thats a lot of brain power to use just for making sawdust.

Kenneth

Thanks David, But I don't think I have that button in my other program.

What are you using to explode it?

Kenneth

FYI, It is just the head to this rocking horse. If anyone wants the full dxf I will pass it along free. It makes a great gift and can be taken back apart when the child outgrows it.

Kenneth

Thanks Nat. Learn something every day.

Kenneth

the forum won't allow a dxf extension.

Kenneth

I did a node edit to look at the detail and it has 53 nodes. This is not a special file that I need to cut. Just one I picked at random to try a test. There are some bezier curves in it.It has dog bone cuts on the inside corners of the slots. This is just one of the pieces of a rocking horse. It all...

Thanks Rick. I can load one into the PE. but when trying to move it onto the sheet, it crashes my pc every time. I tried to attach the dxf I was trying for an example, but the forum won't allow it. If I try to import a dxf with several parts on it it crashes before it gets loaded.

Kenneth

I am wanting to take some current files that I have designed in another program and load the dxf's onto a sheet within ecabs. I have been trying to mke it work, but am having a hard time. The reason I want to do this, is quite often it very time consuming in ecabs to just design a simple part ready ...
