I just nailed down a huge job, and I am hoping to be able to use .dwg files in ecabs to expedite the room layouts. is this possible?

Sorry Kyle,

You will need to draw them room layouts in eCabinets then populate them with cabinets.

My work around for that is I would trun your DWG or floor plan in to a STL.
Open your custom layout I put one wall in the layout at_0,0 Then put the STL in the layout.

Cool trick; did anyone ever figure out how to solve the missing lines while printing from LDE? Is there any specific printer/ driver combo that doesn't produce this problem? It would also be nice if drawings from LDE could be exported as dxf files; it would make producing/ editing shop drawings a little easier.

If you have a nice clear screen while in LDE then just do a Print Screen and paste to Irfanview and print it any size or do corrections before printing. You can also change it to B & W or grayscale. FWIW .
