Hello, could you please help me? I downloaded cabmaker 2.0.98 trial version for sketchup 2016 and when I try to make a cabinet I get an error ''nil can't be coerced into float''. I don't know how to solve this. Very glad if you helped. Thank you.

You can now adjust pullout width and position using hinge allowance. The red arrows are showing the extra clearance for hinges.
-
Here is an example of the new drawer system where you can specify at the project level a system for drawers and pullouts
You will be able to (very soon) add finished fronts to pullouts

I'm pleased to announce a major CabMaker release version 3.0.102 in conjunction with a major release for CutMaster 3.0.1.60.
This includes the Drawer / Pullout subsystem. I now support Blum metabox, Grass, Zargen, DynaPro etc.
You may have choose a Drawer system at the Project level or override it at on a per cabinet basis. You can also choose a Pullout system at the Project level and it does not have to be the same system as Drawers.Here is the template for the Metabox
And here it is for the Zargen
-
The new release also has many smaller features such as edging more or less of the RAW exposed edges.
The Skins entry area controls how much of the cabinet is edged.
These settings give you a cabinet with as little extra edging as possible allowing you to control costs.
You can edge just the top of the side panels and if you want you can edge the top edge of the hanger (nailer strip)
Here is the backside of the cabinet with the same settings.
In high humidity areas you may need to edge all exposed raw edges which will seal them against panel swelling caused by wicking.
-
CutMaster reads in all the parts including edging information and adjusts the part dimensions based on the thickness of the edging. All drilling and grooving details automatically compensate.
The top door has 3mm edging on all 4 edges.
The bottom door is full size (edging thickness set to 0)

CutMaster 3.0.1.60 is now available in 2 flavors. CutMaster Plan (formally Pro) and CutMaster CNC (formally Gold)
Version 3.0.1.60 Dec 9, 2017
- Modified the layout of Options.
- You can now have multiple Drawer / Pullout Subsystems.
- Added more parameters to allow configuration of Zargen, Metabox etc.
-
What about DxfConfig ?
-
I haven't had anyone requesting updates to dxfconfig. I think it has outlived its usefulness. Since Cutmaster is now showing immediate changes to drilling and grooving options it is now in the work flow.
Create 1 cabinet. Click reports. CutMaster Pops up, import and optimize. Then go into CNC options and play around. You can now save your choice and see the results immediately on screen.
You can also now click on a part and everything is synchronized. Right click on part and choose CAD and view the DXF (after you have clicked DXF button)

Prior to CabMaker 3 CabMaker was going to googleapis for the JQuery library. Earlier Windows would just cache it and wouldn't have to make an internet call - just once - the very first time. With many Windows security updates Windows no longer caches the library. This meant the CabMaker would make a call out to the internet EVERY time the dialog box opened.
With CabMaker 3 the Jquery is shipped with the install and now NEVER needs to grab the library over the internet.

I am looking into an alternative licensing strategy which will include a hardware dongle. Please provide me with feedback on what you think of this option.
It will allow you to run CabMaker on as many computers as you want - providing that the dongle is connected to the computer.
This strategy means you will never have to connect to the internet.
-
I strongly support this option.
Your software will become more reliable for cabinet making business. -
I am also considering creating an install package (Windows only) that will correctly install CabMaker without the bad side effects of the Extension Manager.
Download cabmaker 3 installation package
Right Click and choose "Run as Administrator"Choose which version of Sketchup that you want it installed in SU 2016, SU 2017 or SU 2018 and it installs and preserves your previous templates.

I hate the dongle option, I make it a point to never own software with this option...I think this would be a step backwards for an otherwise great plugin...just my point of view
-
I agree. I couldn't say it any better.

Sorry I wasn't completely clear. I am simply offering the Dongle as a second OPTION. Users that choose not to have the Dongle will continue with once a week license authentication over the internet.
However there are users in parts of the world who have very poor internet connections. It is this group of users that the Dongle is targeting.

Dear,
I have tried to use trial version.
At first I met to message below;
"undefined method 'each_pair' for nil:NiClass"
How can I solve this problem?
