Hello All,

The Organizer is made up of 2 sides, 2 ends, one bottom, and the correct Dividers and Columns. The sides, bottom, dividers, columns and ends can have different thickness material. The gadget supports 3 types of bottom construction styles. It also supports the Dog Bone, Blind Dog Bone, T-Bone Joint, Blind T-Bone, Sniglet Joint and the Blind Sniglet joints.

2. Rename it from EasyTrayMaker.zip to EasyOrganizerMaker.vgadget

Be sure to create Proper Material size and that it is TWO_SIDED for there is a material sheet created that is a two-sided carving. You will find out very quickly though that there is an error pop-up message that will appear when trying to start the gadget if you don't have the project setup as TWO_SIDED drawing.

Hello All,

I have updated the code to address the endless error trapping loop on attempting to clear a preselected tool issue. The solution will allow you to select tools for the Dado or Finger clearing path that are of the same bit diameter or smaller than the primary tool. You will be presented a message box (see below) and the solution will step over the issue and produce the drawing and toolpaths correctly.
Additional error trapping has been added and the optimization of code.

This Version 1.5

Supports: 11.0 and up

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

Will be presented a pop message up saying the gadget was installed and you should see the new version of EasyOrganizerMaker in the Gadgets menu.

Do you have a how to vide? My biggest problem with the gadgets is my lack of knowledge. I need definitions for the terms and the selection options.

Thanks as always for what you do.
