Hi Gary --
I just downloaded the CabMaker trial and was about to download the CutMaster trial, then saw it was Windows only... I don't suppose that you have any plans to port it to MacOS?
I realize that it the effort/reward ratio may make it a losing proposition... but no harm in asking
-
Sorry Doug -
I do have a C++ compiler that supports both Mac and Windows and I started porting my code over but there were just too many bugs in the compiler. So I went back to Windows only.
I do have a number of Mac users that use bootcamp or parallels or vmware.
-
CabMaker 2 now supports stretcher dados and kick dados (integrated kicks). Users the same Side Dado parameter.
CutMaster now has context sensitive help images for DXF Configuration.
-
I am now considering working on using doors as finished panels. The only problems that I see are with extra wide back panels for narrow islands and peninsulas.
Anyone care to comment on how they would like to see this done?
-
OK. Thanks for the quick reply Gary.
At the moment I don't have a direct need for CutMaster... but if it becomes must, then BootCamp here we come!

Hi Garry,
Is some sort of cutlist functionality included with CabMaker 2 or do I need CutMaster 2 to make cutlists?
Do you have plans to make a Mac version of CutMaster?
-
CabMaker Gold includes several parts lists that you can make use of. Currently I am not considering redoing CutMaster for the Mac.
