I can make it drill holes for the drawers, but I have to know where.
I can program the software to drill on the centerline of the drawer boxes that variable is ready available.
Thats something I can add. Would that work?
I can add to drill holes for the hinges, like a pair of holes, you say how far apart and how far from the edge in the program.
Would that do?
I need input guys, like 3 weeks ago it did not nest, till I met Roger and looked at how he had to do things manually.
The thing is someone may not use your hinge or drawer slide, so we have to know where the hole possibles are at.

Thanks for the reply. I will get into the demo and get familiar, then contact you by email.

tooooo many layers just tool pathing would be time consumer or am i missing something, every cut on all separate parts are a different layer.
this is the sample dxf from the website and that is only 1/2 the layers shown in te window

James,
How did you get V-Carve to recognize the layers?
I import a DXF and I only get 1 layer.

i checked it out after seeing your post, you are using vcp 4.6 or earlier, ther is an up grade out with true shape nesting, i would contact
support@vectric.com the upgrade is free if you got vcarve in the last 12 months or 150.00 if older
worth every pennu check the website

Check and see what versions of DXF exports are available in the program you are using. Autocad ver 12 seems to work very well, if you have that option.
Here is a VCarvePro 5 screenshot. You can see that all the parts (or cutting actions) are on a different layer. This allows you to select "all on layer" to simplify toolpath operations.

James,
I do need to buy 5.0.
Does V-Carve Pro 5.0 read the different dado depths?
The toe kick has a different depth than the box dados.
When you go to tool path the toe kick dado does the depth change to .5" by itself?
Prior to Clay find me and VCP 4.6 he was selling to users with RouterCad. His program did not have to nest the parts. It just exported 100's of DXF files. RouterCad did the rest.
If VCP 5.0 does not read the dado or drilling depths he is looking at changing the layer count.
It would only have 1 layer per cutting/drilling operation for the entire sheet and not per part.
So each sheet would have about 4 layers.
Drilling at .375
dados at .375
dados at .5
Part cut out
Maybe through drilling.
One thing about dealing with a small company like Clay's, user enhancements are fast.

does clay have a working 15day demo?
