Thermwood / eCabinet Systems

Thanks Clint

Hi Clint Thanks for the reply. Just sent those files Looked up Rectangular optimization as you suggested See the little window in the help menu that shows the nest closet to home and furthest from home for offall? You can call me dumb and blind, But I cant see that window? :? I know my nests were cl...

I love my Ecabs :D But I don't use the line drawing editor. We have tried and tried to make it work for us, tried to become more proficient, tried to adjust to what we can do in there. But every time we just decide Its not as good as our old way and give up. The lady that helps me to do drawings jus...

Hi Guys. The rectangular nesting does appear to be more efficient. I've used the new nest rectangular optimizing a couple of times now. Both times the edging on the labels has printed on the opposite edge to which it is meant to go. Has anyone else encountered this? Two other things that seem to ups...

Just another example
Change the cabinet width from 782mm to 630mm.
Works okay
Attempt to change it back to 800mm error message wants to revert to previous cabinet.

Can anyone else reproduce this? Standard base frame less. Control C Apply lock dado construction via global settings. Change KDA RTA's Take bottom shelf into part editor. Put a rectangular geometry onto the back edge overlapping the back edge. Pointer, Right click, Cut pocket using closed contour. C...

Hi Stuart
I followed as best I could in metric and it seems okay with plain doors
Some thoughts, attach the cabinet so we can have a look at it.
Are they plain doors?
Do you have constraints on the doors? That was messing with placement of some doors I was trying to attach to a cabinet.

Hi Ron.
Welcome to the forum.
I'm not sure if Dan frequents the forum any more.
This thread is, (dare I say it) 15 years old.

Hi Kerry. Thanks for your reply. :) That is pretty much how we do it as well. Its those hardware bits that you are referring to that take all the time. Pareto's 80/20rule. Like you say the drawers are the fiddliest bit and always require the most checking and sorting. A few little tweaks around the ...

I would be interested in other users thoughts on how you handle the multitude of drawer systems . We have had supply issues with different drawers so we have been flipping and changing to what we can get. And also with better quality no name brands of runnerers at almost half the price of some brand...

Yes, I do exactly what Stuart does.
Also you can get the first one right, and in contour, right click create edges, delete the stuff you don't need, save.
Remember to swap front and back view as preferred before loading saved geometery, it can help lay the geometry on the part easier.

For a basecab with tray divider partitions, we see no need for screwing thru to fix them in place, and ignore the thru holes. How can we delete the holes (or have then not generated in the file.)

Perhaps apply a Blind Dado to those edges, I think Blind dados don't have any Kds.

I haven"t been able to do it from there. I use the main window and the KDA Rtas as in the attached picture to change the default. It sticks even when you save it. change hardware default.jpg You can change all the fittings or patterns for a directory in global modifications. Always make a backu...

Hi Tommy. I read your question in 2 ways. One way is to do them in the stretcher editor, you can adjust individual stretchers by highlighting and clicking on C or using the adjust stretcher dialogue which has two or more layers of additional controls. adjust Strecher.jpg Or are you referring to a to...

Thanks Forrest. All interesting points of view. Software packages seem to have different techniques and advantages and the programing guys always seem to be tweaking the control software so we could be lucky there. :D I think Thermwood does a lot of background stuff that we only see when it hits us....
