How can I get cabmaker to user my pullout slide adjust measurements. I only need a 1/2" on each side of the pull out for the drawer slide. No mater where I change the slide adj it always defaults to 1". I am on the trial and have adjusted no settings. Its confusing because its listed in multiple areas. Which on is it.

This is what's in the system and even if I make changes nothing happens).
Rules 2:
Pullout Slide Adj: Default - 2" (When changed nothing happens. Yet when I make it its 1" on each side, not 2".)

Drawers:
Pullout Options:
Pullout Row: 1
Slide Adj: Default 0" (When I change nothing happens.)

If I change both at the same time nothing also happens. Its always 1" on both sides of the pullout.

sounds like your tabs are locked.
Go to PROJECT tab and turn off locks

Hey Gary.

Curious how you animate doors in Cabmaker? I turned the animation on, but how do you toggle the doors open/closed?

You must have Dynamic Components loaded
Then choose SU / tools / Interact

Does anyone know how to edit the cabinet style to have a "Plant On" back? Meaning the cabinet back is the full width and height of the cabinet box and the sides and bottom are butt jointed to it. For example https://imgur.com/a/XnkNK39

Set the dado to be >= the thickness of the sides

Excellent! Thanks for the quick response and solution!

Hi Garry,

I found your plugin on sketchup, and tried to use it. I have run into error -25. I got a couple hours into using the extension and like what i have seen. I am serious about purchasing this extension, as it would be to great help in my drafting for clients! I have sent you an email with all my information. Let me know how we can proceed!

I have been trying to contact you through your website but suspect emails have not reached you.

I presently have Sketchup 2022, Aspire 11 and have a Shopsabre Pro408. I also have Cutlist Plus fx.

I am interested in possible purchase of your software for building cabinets. Being a hobby shop your software seems to fit my needs. So my question is basic. The workflow from cabmaker32 to Aspire so I can create tool paths to then move to my CNC.

Questions such as do I need Cutmaster2d? There are two CabMaker32 prices so which would I need /want?

cheers
barry

I had to suddenly get a new computer and have been trying to have my license reset since 3/11/22. I originally emailed Gary my user ID and heard nothing. I tried via the site and then emailed again 3/15. He responded to the email asking for my userid and I replied back within an hour. I never heard back from Gary. It appears that Gary was at some point very responsive, but its looking like that's no longer the case. Or he's very selective with who he responds to. Though this extension is amazing, I cannot use it and there seems to be a lacking in support. I hope that everything is ok and he just needs an assistant. I have other extensions where I can update my info via my account page and my account is reset instantly. Just know that when you have access to the extension is great, but it comes with a risk of no support and not being able to use it if you have to get a new computer.

I am literally having exactly the same issue. The Plugin is great but the support is somewhat lacking. There really should be a way to do this through your account rather than relying on Garry to provide these sorts of minor tweaks. I've paid for both CabMaker and CutMaster Pro and right now both are useless to me....
Hoping Garry's OK as he is usually pretty responsive but clearly hasn't been for the last month.

philv282 · 18 May 2022, 11:29

Has anyone heard from Garry in the last month?

He has been unresponsive to emails also. I am going to buy a new computer and a CNC Router this year and I hope Garry could be reached easily. Been using cabmaker and cutmaster for a while now, and transitioning to cnc production, I am not planning on using other cabinet software because I am quite comfortable now with cabmaker and cutmaster. I hope he is okay.

I have also tried multiple times to reach him. I have a new computer and my license needs to be reset. I hope he is o.k. If anyone hears anything let us all know.

Did you receive any response from him? How is your license in your new computer?

I got in touch with Garry. He asked...

Rich, it's great to see that Garry has been in touch with you. There was some information found recently that gave rise to worries about his health.

Garry K · 2 Jul 2022, 17:33

Sorry - I had covid and then ended up in the hospital for 2 weeks. I'm out now but starting to feel stronger.

I am having trouble getting true arcs out of Simple DXF. In the extension menu > Edit Config I do not see any option for switching between 2d or 3d output, also the open manual option does nothing. So far all all of the files have tested on output .DXF files with faceted arcs and circles. Clearly I am missing something. Is there another place to find the manual for this extension I looked on the website but could not find. Thanks for your help.
