Writing code with AFL

Post by Forrest Chapman »

Has anyone looked into using AFL to write a subroutine that will rise out in a beveled corner? We do a fair amount of this type of work and need a solution for cutting the fronts from Ecabs.

I take that as a no, lol.

Since this "engrave" feature is available in almost every cabinet design software with the mdf module that I've encountered so far and the "cut center" from Thermwood, I would assume it will be added to control nesting for us regular guys at some point. I wouldn't think it's that hard of a process to code for guys who are good at it. I was hoping it could be done with a macro. Unfortunately time is limited these days and I haven't been able to sit and wrap my head around it yet.

Maybe Thermwood will chime in,

Forrest
