Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Yes, Gimp 2, a free photoshop type program.

I just un-installed and re-installed the software. Same problem.

My copy of ecabs has been working OK until this morning. I just got the "Failed to create empty document" error. I did a "repair" re-install to no avail. Now what?

I downloaded the update to ecabs this morning, and that seems to have fixed it.

Been an ecabs user for 7 or 8 years, and it just started to hang up while printing drawings. I'm using the latest version, and it has printed normally in the past. I can't think of any changes to my system that might account for the problem.

Any help?

Thanks for all the good input. As stated, I'd love to stay with Thermwood since I've been using the software for so long, but even a used machine is considerably out of our price range, and there don't seem to be many available.

I'm designing a frameless job and am having trouble. The cabinet in question is a 6 drawer bath vanity, and when I add the doors, the software gives me overlays that are different from what I specify.

For example, when I add a top drawer front and specify the following reveals:

top 1/4"
left 1/8 ...

Sometimes in the cabinet editor, sometimes while resizing in the room, sometimes while just adding the cabinet to the room.

Attached is a cabinet with the back gone.

I'm building a kitchen with frameless cabs, and I'm having trouble with the backs disappearing on some cabinets. The dados remain, but the backs are gone. Any suggestions?

Dell Optiplex 745 running XP Pro. 256MB ATI Radeon X1300PRO graphics card.

I'm not sure I know the answer to that question. It's a desktop, and I did have to choose a video card when I specified the system with Dell.

If I take a display cube to the part editor and modify it, when I take it to the line drawing editor, I see an outline of the original cube plus the new shape. Any way to get rid of these?
