Can't see board stock

Peter Walsh · Post by **Peter Walsh** » Mon, Sep 10 2007, 2:06PM

I have been upgrading my eCab as releases come out ,and there have been some changes made relating to board stock and using board feet. I haven't built anything with eCab since this was done, and when I now go to create a display board and look for the board stock to choose in the drop down panel there is nothing there. Was I supposed to completely re-do my board stock inventory in some new way?
Thanks.

Peter
If you click the down arrow on the dropdown box, do you see your materials? Is there anything displayed in the Filter List by Thickness box?

After the last release, I added a \"Cherry\" material, and as I edit my cabinets I switch all my face frames to it instead of \"Cherry 1 3/4 X 3/4\"(or whatever). But editing the materials wasn't necessary.

Lee,
I see a list of thicknesses in the thickness drop down, but the materials drop down is all blank.

Peter,

Does that list have a choice you can make like ALL? or whatever your thicknesses may be?

Lee,
Yes it does have \"all\" and when I select that, I see all the board stock I had previously defined, but that would include all thicknesses and no way to selct a thickness if it is not in the description. What am I missing that has changed?

Wow Peter,

This is a weird one indead.

Have you try adding any material to the data base at all?

I would, before hand, change my backup directory as a temp file and do a recovery to the original backup. You can always switch back. Just to be safe.

Just curious, you did a reboot already I presume...

If you look at your material definitions in Settings/Preferences, does it show 3/4\" as being 0 3/4\", 0.75\" or 0.750\"?

I have my Dimension Display set to inches and fractions. I also don't see any board stock when creating a display board unless I choose \"All.\"

Even after changing Dimension Display to inches and decimals I still saw stock listed when I chose \"All.\"

Looks like a bug, walks like a bug, must be a bug.

Your Buggin dude...

Dan,
My list shows the thicknesses in decimal format.

Michael,
I have not yet tried to add anything since I wanted to find out what I had missed in the upgrades before doing so, and yes, I did re-boot.

An additional note: I was building an assembly entirely from display parts and no cabinet was being used.

thanks,

Yeah, I tried changing to decimal and still didn't see anything until I chose \"All.\"

This is a bug.

I don't do a lot of display boards.So, I have never really paid it any attention.

Yuck, tastes like a bug too...

good thing we didn't touch it

Dan,
Has anyone sent T'wood an e-mail about this?

DanEpps · Post by **DanEpps** » Tue, Sep 11 2007, 2:50PM

I haven't...I thought someone there might see this and reply but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Maybe if we keep the thread up front.

Hey, Mike,

Is this still the best way to report bugs? I seem to remember Dennis recommending to use this form. But that was wayyyy back in May of this year...

Or maybe there is a better way? -------------- Al
