Nothing worse than fractions and long decimals...nothing...not even metric!

Hey Roger,

Why not come over to the Dark Side and use metric like the rest of the world....it is sooo easy.


Paul

I think what is easy is what we're use to.
I have and continue to use a hybrid system-
5mm shelf holes-35mm spacing...
cabinet sizes in inches-4'x8' sheets..

Can't we just all get along!


Erminio

No way Paul.

I build Euro style cabinets with 5mm holes, 37mm back at 32mm spacing but that is it. Besides the machines do all that for me.
Decimals for everything else is just fine.

[wberminio]

Sorry my metric is off- that's 32mm spacing for system holes!

I also do mainly euro/framless cabinets-
Do I get any points?;)

It's funny really,

I have been using metric for more years than I care to remember but when I describe something I would say 4"x2" or 8'x4' rather than 100x50 or 2440x1220.

We have a story over here about the guy who goes into a timber yard and askes for some 4"x2"
the assistant says,
we have gone metric it is now called 100x50.

The shopper askes how much is the 100x50.

The assistant replys it is a £1 a foot.

Gary asked, Have a great day... how do you say that in metric? Maybe.....Vorsprung durch Technik

I see we have a new release.
3.6.1 Beta33 is out.
Maybe the VO command works now.

[Gary Campbell]

Roger...
VO is working in Beta 33. Will not work from the keyboard and another nice feature.. if file ends... intentionally or not. All offsets are reset to zero.

[thewoodcrafter]

Gary,
Thanks
I plan on using VO in the new macro area for the flip operation.

Does anyone know if parts from the other editors in eCabinets such as parts from Part editor, Doors from the Door Designer, drawers from the Drawer Box editor or Faceframe puzzle joints can be nested and cut through the Shopbot link?
