Re: Easy Gadget Text Maker
if you want to include a code library using code like this : -- add the code library path to the package path -- then declare a variable to hold the library (Utils in this case) -- then use the functions in it package.path = package.path .. ";" .. path .. "\\..\\_CodeLibrary\\?.luax" local Utils = r...

Re: Creating a text object in a gadget
Hi Jim,
Yes I would be interested to look at the code and probably use it in my own to add text to panel shapes which could be "selected" automatically (meaning by code) and then grouped. Is it formatted as a function call ? position, text and size ? How can we go about it ?

Re: Kitchen Cabinet Software?
Here is another option. eCabinets from Thermwood. Use it to design your cabinets, do a nesting of all the parts, then you can take the dimensions for the parts and input them into Aspire/V-Carve and cut them on your CNC. Yes, there is a lot of manual work doing the translation, but it would be very...
