Thanks Tim,
I know Ecabs was not intended for design purposes and mainly CNC software but you can't beat the the visual capabilities it allows for a presentation.
My customers really like the visual aspect of the design and I'm slowly getting the hang of how to use Ecabs for the presentation without spending a ton of time on the renderings. I mostly use the program for cabinet design and costing and using the cutlist for production as I don't have a CNC, the Thermwood team has done a great job with the software despite little glitches sometimes, hats off to those guys.

I agree!! You have to work it a little but, it Is workable and my customers love it too. I have used it to make other things besides cabinets and it nest the parts with no problems. I use it for costing also. And I just purchased a used Shopbot CNC couple years ago, not top of the line, not the fastest but wow what a difference. I hope that someday I can purchase a Thermwood.
