Easy BoxJoint Maker
Hi All,
I have upgraded the BoxJoint Maker 2.0 to run under Version 10+.
Have a look.
Working on the Help File and I may do a video to show to use the gadget. Thoughts?

Re: Easy BoxJoint Maker
Hi,
A couple of things. Had to comment out the debug command before it would run
The error below shows up when I launch the gadget.
The second error show up when I click to to execute. I must be doing something wrong?
Thanks,
Andy

Re: Easy BoxJoint Maker
Thanks for the feedback... here is 2.01. The error was a type-o.
On the first message box, have a look at the job setup picture Caption4.JPG. This gadget mills on the end of the broad. So, the job X and Y set the broads thickness and width. The job Z is the broad length.

Re: Easy BoxJoint Maker
Hi Jim,
It worked!!
I flipped x and y around for the thickness of the material. So a my choice of board orientation can be along x or y. I have not setup my CNC for vertical milling yet so I wanted to make sure I had that option.
Thanks again for your gadget creations.

I keep getting a "nil" error when I try to run either Version 1 or 2.
I am sure it is something I am doing wrong but I don't have a clue.

Can you do a full screen capture with the error and post it here?
Thanks,

I modified the lua file to read "-- require("mobdebug").start()" and it now works fine.
I have been making these joints for some time by drawing them out in Aspire which is time consuming and sometimes frustrating.
This will make things so much easier for me.
Thank you very much!

Re: Easy BoxJoint Maker
Hello All,
I have fixed/added some changes to the EasyBoxJoint gadget:
1. More Error trapping
2. Supports all Vectric versions (I have no way to test below version 10. I need some help on testing). Code checks what version Vectric version is running and offers tool selection from the tool-database menu, if version is greater or equal to version 10.0 and if not, offers the user to enter the End Mill diameter value and bulds the toolpath. (see images below)
3. Added a WorkList .txt file on what I am doing next on the Gadget.
4. Checked "every gadget" in the zip file for: Displays menu correctly; Turned off the debug calls; Added Versions numbers to the names; etc...
5. Building out a format for both Written Docs (in Gadget folder) and Video (on YouTube) How to Run Gadget.
6. As well as, 1.2 million other things
Please let me know if you see any issues.

Thanks JeffPeters
