Easy MDF Cabinet Door Maker

Hi Jim -
I'm receiving a "No layer found with name = Door Scribe Lines" and "Door Flutes" with the attached settings. Though as far as I can tell, I'm not missing a toolpath or any design element.

Have I misinterpreted a setting/tool usage, perhaps? Thanks for the gadget and any help you can provide!

Those messages are shown whenever you do not choose to have Scribe lines and Door Flutes on your doors. I usually just ignore those messages because I understand the gadget entirely to well now.

I noticed that you are using 11.7 Version of the Gadget. According to this thread 11.9 is the most recent from Jim.

Hello All,

I have been busy BETA TESTING and updating the Easy Door Maker Gadget. Found a few Issues and fixed a few issues recommended by other users of the gadget.

What is New:
• Fixed Oval Door with Crossing Flute Lines Hiccup --- variable "pty" was not recognized
• Fixed Double Arch Hiccup -- Second panel was not being created when creating doors up in length (say a 57" door)
• Standardized Flute and Fluting to "Flute"
• Standardized Inter to "Inner".
• Added note to "Inside Edge Milling" on User Interface.
• Added note to "Divider Width" on User Interface.
• And there are too many changes for me to remember them all.

Version 12.0

The Easy Install Steps:

1. Download the gadget EasyMDFDoorMaker.zip that is attached to this post.
2. Rename it from EasyMDFDoorMaker.zip to EasyMDFDoorMaker.vgadget
3. In Vectric Pro, Aspire, or Cut2D Pro click on Gadgets -> Install Gadget and navigate to where you downloaded the file to, select it and click Ok.

If successful, a pop up saying the gadget was installed and you should see EasyMDFDoorMaker is now in the Gadgets menu.

Hey what a great gadget!!!
Would it be possible to add a feature for automatic rounded profile corners on the doors?

Sure, I can do that.

How this works is you post a drawing of what you are thinking about and I will add options to the gadget to add it.

Hello Jim,

A trivial error found around line 1126 of EasyMDFDoorMaker_Ver12.0.lua:

Code: Select all

  Pdialog:UpdateLabelField("Door.Alert", "")
  if Door.Count < 1 then
    Pdialog:UpdateLabelField("Door.Alert", "Error: Door Count Required")
  elseif Door.Count < 1 then
    Pdialog:UpdateLabelField("Door.Alert", "Error: No Door Count Provided")

The "elseif Door..." line is a duplicate of the "if Door..." line and will never evaluate to true.

Thank You, Stephen !!!

I have reviewed this item and it will be resolved in an updated version (whenever that may be).

Thanks for finding this and showing it to us. Yep, I had duplicated the error trap to prevent some other poetical issue and should have removed the duplicated code. The user will never see the second message so it will be removed on the next release.

Thanks again!

Hi Jim
This is an awesome gadget, saves me so much time. Wondering is it possible to be able to specify different width for rail and stiles. For example: an island panel with bottom rail 4" wide and top rail 2.25? i think right now both have to be the same width?

Question: On Which Style are you referring to? The Shaker, Cathedral, Arched and Corner Radius Style Doors the Top and Bottom Rails can be made different sizes at button location Edit Style.


Hello Tpad,
The Idea behind having only one dimension used on some styles is to put the island central on the door. There may be other reasons that I am not aware of when it comes to construction for coding compatibility in building the gadget.. Jim would be able to answer better than I. I have made a copy of your post and sent it via email to Jim so that we can evaluate your request. We will get back you soon!

I was referring to the shaker style door, if you could add a variable like is in the cathedral style door. B&C.

I was pinged a few days later on a different issue. I was able to guide the user on the menu settings to address the issue.
