Mark,

In the pint dialog you can choose to print the selected sheet. When I tried it, the attached is what I got. No parts are shown for the sheet. Perhaps the Thermwood guys can check on this.

Try writing the CNC file. Then in the upper section where it shows each sheet, double-click on the sheet you want and it should open up in a different window showing the parts and and itemized line listing.

Mark,

Choose "Sheets" from the Print Setup drop down menu in the nest then click on File and Print
In the Print Dialog window that opens from Print Range select the Pages radio button then if you want to print page 5 enter from 5 to 5
It should then just print sheet 5

Dave,
I have tested this and can confirm that any selected sheet besides sheet one prints blank. I will let the software engineers know.

While you're at it, when you export the cut list to Excel, the sheet component worksheet has "Componet" instead of "Component" (note the missing n ) for the column heading.

Mark,

I think Kerry and John are talking about eCabinets nesting, not at the control.

David,
I am talking about the control. Once the job is nested and you write the CNC file the layouts of each sheet come up at the top of the screen. Double click on the sheet and a new window comes up. You will see the sheet layout and also the line listing of each part. You can print from here.

John,

It looks like you are running a different version of the control software than I am. My screen looks nothing like yours.

Hi David!

We just purchased our machine in December so I am not sure what the difference in software there is.

Maybe one of the Thermwood guys could chime in and shed some light on this?
