I have been thinking about this for a while. Even though we print everything upfront it's not that big of deal to reprint the last sheet when needed.

It seems like this might be available in the cut center.

Hey Mark, bumping this thread but also wanted to let you know that when you select the rotate function you can use your arrow keys to jog up or down.

So for some reason my laptop isn't rendering again. It must be the windows updates breaking it. I tried backing up to a previous Nvidia driver and that worked for a little while but at some point stopped working as well.

Forrest

Please disregard, I was doing it wrong.

For some reason when I try and change the slides and hinges in global mods it doesn't stick. Hardware pattern no problem. Anybody else have this issue?
FYI, when I pull up hardware in use it's empty.

I'm not going to be of much help but Ecabs did dowel construction for the first few years. I would think the "User Defined Operations" is your best option for applying them now.

Nvidia just came out with another driver update that fixed it for me.

Thanks Guys, So I'm currently doing as Kerry describes and then loading that file into an online optimizer that I went ahead and paid for. I can sort and save the xls file as a csv and import it to the cutlist and it will nest each width material into cut sheets. I print those out for the panel saw....

I envision a drop down menu of part types similar to the change material option in ecabinets but something else that would be nice is the option to select a part on a sheet and turn grain off so you can rotate just that part.

Do you guys use any free or cheap cut list programs? I have used this online one called cutlist optimizer that works pretty well for drawer box parts. I export the parts list from ecabs to excel and save it as a csv which I can then import to the optimizer. This way I can get the drawers to nest in ...

I think I did an update to my video card and that or a windows update broke it. For some reason I feel like my video card isn't working anymore and it's using onboard graphics. When I run a test on the card the results are good so can't figure that out. I remember those two settings were for compute...

I've had the same issue for a couple months now on one of my computers. It acts like its doing the render but nothing changes. Take the same job to another computer and it renders just fine. I figure it's an update windows did.

Something else that helps the roughing tool last longer is oscillation. It spreads the wear along the edge. It doesn't have to oscillate much to make a huge difference. Guys who run pod machines use it because of the added clearance under the part but it can still help on the initial pass.

2nd that!

Also single entry outline and smallest parts to interior would be nice.
