Reading the STL file conversion thread and went over to the Osborne site for a look. They offer a DVD with eCab-compatible CAD files which you can order.
Kerry - sounds like you finished converting their stuff just before they put this out there..
Sent for one today; we'll see how it works.
If you use Planit, Pro-100 or 2020 you can d-l the cad files online.

Re: Osborne Wood Products offers free CAD file DVD
Joe,
The last time I checked the Osborne files were still in .stl format which works fine but you must take each one into the Display Part Editor and map a texture to it as well as make any other appearance changes and then save it as a Display Object. I have already done all this. Another thing I did was to take each file into Accutrans 3D and correct the Center point so that the parts rotate properly in eCabinets. Some of the Osborne files rotate in wide circles making them hard to place in eCabinets. I would like to know if the new DVD is in .hsf format.

Re: Osborne Wood Products offers free CAD file DVD
I had an Osborne guy call me and offered up the disc in the stl format. I was able to sell a couple of jobs because of the drawings so I bought the posts from them and they turned out great.
