I am currently trying to create a door with and exterior profile I made his custom tool in Rhino, exported to the shape manager, then saved it as a .tol. But when I load it in the door editor onto my mdf door itcomes up in a random space, and the blue and yellow 0-1 space is not visible at all.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or knows how to solve it?
There is a section in eCabs for this, it is in the shape manager. In the top row next to the door / drawer front designer.
In the shape manager use the create tool button on the top right hand side.
Hope this makes sense.

Can you provide a screen cap of the tool in Shape Manager before you save it as a TOL? Could be that the center of the tip of the tool is not at 0,0 in Shape Manager but is instead way above...
Kyle,
Further to Brad's question, just be sure that when you draw the tool in Rhino, you are drawing the centerpoint of the lowest part of the tool at the 0,0 coordinates. It's much easier to move the geometry in a CAD program than in the shape manager.
Hope that helps,
