Am I doing something wrong in that I can't create a CNC TWD output file from within the cabinet editor?
I have a cabinet open in the CE and click on the CNC icon. I am prompted where to save the file, then prompted if I want to change material thickness. I say yes and I am shown a dialog box with no material for my cabinet listed so I can't change any material thickness.
Can I create a CNC TWD from within the CE? If so, any feedback on what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated. If not, bummer.....

Re: Create CNC output from cabinet editor?
Interesting development. I put the cabinet in a batch job and was able to create the TWD from the batch.
Now, with the batch still open I went straight to the CE, not taking the cabinet from the batch, and opened the cabinet in CE, selected from my library. I clicked the CNC button and now I am presented with a dialog box with my material in it.
I'm confused.

The CNC button at the top is only for the batch, custom layout, and esj files. In the cabinet editor there is a cnc button on the dialog bar on the left near the screen shade slider.
