Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Will,

The way I found out there was another way was the "old way" of changing the M999 wasn't having any affect on the tool measures.

When you are at the machine open up the digital version of the operators manual, I think it's under the top tab far right tab.
Type in "Switchspoil" in the search ...

Just curious, how do you change it? Through the M999 macro or in the Machine Variables table under the edit tab? Or other?

CS45-249 is the machine.

Purchased new approximately 2008.

Problem Corrected. For any others behind the learning curve like myself....

Hi Brad,

Thanks for your reply. The following statement is my situation:

"Alternatively, you may have never been using the ACTSPOIL and ORGSPOIL variables. If so, then they would/should have identical values in your M999 and then instead, you may be replying solely on the SWITCHSPOIL value, in ...

Hi Gentlemen,

I am trying, without success, to take a vertical closet panel into the part editor/contour editor, import DXF with line boring and suspension bracket holes, then cut holes using the DXF geometry.
No problem importing the DXF but I am unable to do anything with the geometry.

What ...

Is the upper "off fall" really off fall? Did you get a label for both pieces of off fall or only the lower one in the pic?

Thanks Scott,

You really went way and beyond on that. Thanks.
At least I know what to do. Or not to do. Or....
It will work and I'm not crazy. At least not crazy for this reason.

The other parts I had adjusted prior to a momentary appearance were the deck and top.
