Re: Changing door stile sizes?

Do you think this will be addressed in future versions?
I have used Cabinet Vision and it is so simple to make these kind of changes. I guess at $7000 it ought to be easy to use.

Re: computer jamming up-help!

Is there any way I can save the line drawings in smaller batches within eCabs so I can edit the drawings if necessary? The pdf trick sounds great except I cannot edit them. Thanks

Drawers using solid stock and not plywood

Is it possible to select solid wood for the drawer boxes so that the drawer parts do no show up on my cutlist? I never make drawers out of plywood but for sizing purposes I use the plywood drawers so I can get my buy list. I wish I could get a list of drawer sizes without having half my cut list ...

Changing door stile sizes?

Does anyone know how to select a door style and then change the stile width for each individual stile and rail? I would love to be able to also add mid rails to a door and modify the panl size. Please let me know if you have any helpful tips?

computer jamming up-help!

I work on ecabs every day and it seems like at about midday after working on eCabs for a few hours, the program has a tendency to lock up and not allow me to save a job. Sometime I have a job with 15 pages in Line Drawing Editor and it slows down considerably. Do you have any tips on how to manage ...

Suggestions for future builds

I am following up from a previous post to add a couple of features that I would love to see.

1. It is very time consuming when I make a small change to a cabinet and it would be great to be able to make a change in a saved job and have the changes transfered over to the line drawing editor. I know ...

Re: Suggestions for future Ecabs

Mike,
That's pretty slick. It would be great to be able to highlight the blue box, get a zoom in/close-up and then capture everything inside that square and delete everything outside the square. Then we could zoom out a little and there would just be those parts showing. The problem I have is that I ...

Re: Suggestions for future Ecabs

Thanks Justin. I just thought of one other small thing that I thought I would mention. When I am preparing shop drawing submittals it would be helpful to be able to zero in on a closeup part of a cabinet by putting a circle around the area or being able to erase out all the surrounding lines to make ...

Re: Problem saving a job

Thanks. I will try that and see if it works.
The kitchen on the website we did on ecabs and won an award for it at our local NARI chapter in MA.
We don't have a router, just a 10 foot slider and all the other goodies.

Re: Problem saving a job

No, I ctrl + alt + del and then shut down the program.
It seems to take a long time to shut down the program
I have even rebooted my computer a few times hoping that this would help. Nothing has helped.

Problem saving a job

I am in desperate need of help. For some unknown reason when I bring a job into the drafting page to do some elevations or floor plan notes I cannot save it. As soon as I try and save the job the computer locks up and nothing happens. I then have to shut it down and try again and I lose all my ...

End panels

How on earth do I add end panels to my cabinets? I have inset my face frames 3/4\" and plan to just build them and attach them to the sides. There has to be an easy way to show them on the cabinet in eCabs. Can someone help me?

Thanks

I would be in for atleast 100 copies. I can send over some nice photos of some recent kitchen, china cabinet, entertainment center, and built-ins.
What is the deadline for submitting pics?
