Gary, that was so very funny your comment about gaining 15lb going to make a sandwich after every mouse click. Thank you. I was starting to get frustrated. V5 seemed much faster. So I will just need to stock up on some sandwich meats and condiments.

I dont know if something changed in V6b2 but I now get the following message after making a change in Const. Sett. Cant seem to tell if the timing is different, or Win 7 percieves eCabs as stopped. Sometimes I think it is. IF ignored eCabs goes on as usual. Message dissappears

"Not responding" simply means that the program is not communicating with Windows. This can happen when a single-threaded process takes a long time to complete and does not keep Windows informed of its status.

The speed of the item window has increased quite a lot in V6B2 so they must have changed something. For a company that uses eCabinets to mainly cut and not design, for me it's more important that everything I create is cut properly on the machine. With my drawer box problem resolved for now I think everything has pretty much come to place with build 2.

Georgi...
I wish I was in your shoes. I havnt found anything in the cutting area that V6 lacks from V5. That is a very good thing. My problem is that we are constantly designing for both estimates and cutting when we get the jobs. Almost every job comes from a different designer or shop, and each has their own specs. Maybe after a few more months soe of our existing work can become seeds for future. Until then, most will be derived from standard. Hopefully the pause interpreted by Win7 is something that the programmers can fix for future versions.
