I would like to see a video on how to use the cabinet maker gadget and where can I down load the version 12.1 that will work with VCarve pro 11
Thanks Jeff

Go back 8 posts from this one and you'll see a post from Jim that has "Sorry, I found an error". Versions 12.1 is the attachment to that post.

This link should take you straight there but you should be able to see it on the thread - viewtopic.php?p=282413#p282413

Hello Cusoak,

On Page 12 look for this post.

I notice there is an option for frameless. Is there a way to make blind/stop dados? what about an option for no dado for the backs? also is there an option for drawer/hardware holes?

Hi Jeff,

I am its creator and I am sorry about the video sound. At this time, I unable to speak clearly enough to be understood, so I do not speak on the video. When life gives you lemons "get to squeezing"

I do realize cabinet construction is extremely complex because of all of the preferences. I probably receive a dozen or so request per month for features to be added to the various gadgets. And I'm happy to add features to the gadgets.

I want to help you, so tell me about the cabinet you want to build?

If you respond to this threat with:
1. cabinet type (wall or base)
2. face frame (yes or no)
3. cabinet height
4. cabinet with
5. plywood thickness
6. your mill capacity

With this basic information, I will be able to help you.

Hi Jeff,

That's great. Let me see if I can walk you through how to get started.

1. Download the latest version of the gadget from the forum
2. Locate the downloaded file on your computer in your Downloads directory.
3. The file should have a ".zip" extension. The file extension needs to be renamed to ".vgadget" so your Vectric software can see it. (Quick note: We've seen some people have problems renaming the extension, if they do not have the File Explore set to display file extensions)
4. Open your Vectric V-Carve Pro or Aspire program
5. Navigate to the gadget pulldown menu and select "Install New Gadget..." at the top of the menu and navigate to your "Downloads" directory and Select the gadget file and select okay
6. You should see a pop-up menu stating gadget has been installed successfully
7. Create a new file and configure the serial sizes and orientation to your mill
8. Navigate to the gadget pulldown menu and select the newly installed gadget. It may appear in a cascaded sub menu under the gadget pulldown
9. You should see the main dialogue appear in the middle of your screen.
10. Select the Project button and set the project path (The place for the Bill of Material files will be located) and select OK button
11. Change the Cabinet name from "Default" to a name that represents this cabinet
12. Enter the dimensional values for the base cabinet and or the wall cabinet
13. The Tooling for the Profile, Pocketing, and Drilling operations.
14. Which cabinet to be created (Wall, Base, or Both)
15. Select the OK button to draw your first cabinet.

You should see the components of the cabinet being created on your sheet.


If you receive an error, please let me know and I'll do everything I can to help you reach success.

Special Thanks to Sharkcutup
Sharkcutup help as been amazing and I could not have moved as fast and accurate without his excellent attention to detail and guidance. Thank you very much for Sharkcutup assistance.

Thank You for the Kind Words, Jim!!!

Hey Guys,

One of the helpful new features added is on the ABOUT interface. There is now a check box to return the Gadget to its default values.
This works by selecting the little box which puts a check mark in the box then Click okay. Close the Cabinet Maker Gadget interface by selecting cancel. Then select the Cabinet Maker Gadget from the Gadgets menu to bring up the interface again with all its default values.

You may want to do this after your install of the 12.3 Version thereby insuring you have a fresh start with the gadget!!!

Just a thought/opinion!
