Ok Guys,
I got a book case designed in v5.1. It has a face frame with puzzle joint joinery, the sides have part editor cuts, and the box is attached to the face frame with a blind dado. It nests, it writes code, and if I just had the material we would see what would happen. I been saving these book cases just for v5.1 new features, will get some material on friday delivery and see how she goes! I will be Taking bets until material delivery friday around noon
Good luck on the project, I bet it works fine. The question is whether the simple stuff is fixed.
I'm more concerned with 5.1 fixing what was broken in build 11 and fixed (not) in build 12. Sorry guys, but I've got alot invested in this \"free\" software (purchasing through the program at a premium) and don't want to screw up the next kitchen (designed using build 10) on the new version until after the dust settles. I'm sorry to be cynical, but I really have become accustomed to eating regularly - which means all the tools need to work together. Ecabs is the most important at this point and I hope 5.1 works as well as build 10 of release 5. If it does work I'll be happy to continue to purchase \"shares\" in Ecabs by purchasing hardware.
I need to lose some weight so I installed Version 5.1 immediately. Dale, I hope you are reporting problems that you find in the software. The Thermwood team is actually very responsive to getting problems resolved - if they know about them that is. I would also let them know if you have suggestions for improvements.
I'm really pretty excited about some of the new changes in Version 5.1.

Spot-on Joe! In fact, most of the features you see in eCabinets are there because members asked for them.
You are absolutely correct about reporting problems as well. If the programmers don't know about an issue, they certainly can't address it.
Be very specific when reporting problems. Provide step-by-step instructions on what you did that led up to the problem and include the cabinet/assembly/job file that you are experiencing problems with. This will allow the programmers to examine the file and follow your steps to determine where the problem lies.
I have only tried to cut the puzzle joint once and had problems because my 1/2\" tool was set for pocketing. I was told later to make sure your 3/8\" is the one used to pocket the puzzle. Good luck!
Hey Brian,
I made one up out of some scrap the same night I posted, I must have got lucky because it was a beutiful thing.Will cut some bookcases this weekend to see how it all goes together.(or not!)
