Hello All,
I hope you are have some fun today!

I have added the grouping function to the Notes and Part Numbers to the Easy Draw Maker Version 3.5. This should make it easier to move the test.

Supports: Vectric 10+
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Mr Ramsey1969,

As you may know the gadget was designed to support multiple material thicknesses and draw the drawer parts on the material thickness sheet. The recent changes in Vectric version 11 has changed their Sheet functionality and has not provided a SDK update to control the new function. Therefore, I found it necessary to disable the sheet creation functions and draw each part based on its material thickness in a location where it is separate from the other parts.

For instance, if you were to draw a drawer with a 1" thick front, 3/4" of an inch sides, a 1/2" back, and 1/4" bottom. The gadget would produce for sheets one sheet for each material thickness. As necessary because the milling is different based on material thicknesses.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you have other questions.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply! That makes sense. I was finally able to generate the parts correctly. Hopefully Vectric will get you the update to the SDK soon!
