anybody using cabinet planner software? download at woodweb $70.00 plans ,elevations, 3d,cutlists, dxf files. I purchased mine this weekend and it seems well worth the money for what it is.

Yes, I have been using cabinet planner for over a year, and it is a great little program. Took me some time setting it up for my style of cabinet construction, but after that it is all good. Hope you enjoy it. Also the lifetime free updates are great. I also use cutlist plus, by bridgewood designs.

from web site FAQ:

Will this program give me CNC output?
DXF file output for the panel optimizer has been added to the program. (Disabled during
free trial)

Does the dxf file create the dados etc on different layers?

Yes the dxf output is on different layers. I worked with him few months back and there are two ways to export the drawings. One it will save a nested dxf file, to open one at a time in a program like Aspire or Vcarve pro. The second way is it will export one dxf file for each part of the cabinet. This option would be used for importing into CabinetPartsPro nesting or using the batch import gadget in Aspire.
