If you do give a talk I would be interested, although our needs are much, much simpler than an architectural practice. I think the simple P01 C01 method would work for us, either using the decimal postfix or a letter. I'm not sure we would need a status code. We currently put it in the title block. The other challenge we have is folder organisation to ensure drawings go in the correct location, as we have drawings issued for internal review and drawings issued for external review. Separate subject...

Thank you this is very promising! I had tried to google the ISO19650 recommendations but clearly didn't get far! I will have to figure out if my team get there their heads around implementing this, instead of simply REV A, REV B, etc.

Does anyone have any best practice suggestion re document/change control: I'm attempting to standardise our control of drawing revisions. Typically we have e.g. REV –, REV A, etc. that is issued to the client for comment/approval. However I need a simple way of recording revisions that occur during internal design reviews that do not interfere with the client issued revision. Industry is bespoke cabinetry. Any ideas appreciated!

Unless you have found the answer already I would be interested to know this but you might be better off asking the question in the interiorcad discord I set up, someone there might know. I will send you an invite.

@Josh Cain I don't know if vectorwop is activated with the trial version, maybe it is. What are you wanting to output to, i.e. what CNC machine or CAD CAM sofware are you running? You are not going to find much in the way of literature. With a little bit of graft / outside assistance it is not very hard to get running. Like @Tom W. says you need to be running 2023 so you will have to hold on tight until next year to install 2024. I would maybe wait until a few IC service packs are released before installing it. J

Try Steve @ cadscchool.co.uk I imagine he can help. You can say Jake recommended him.

Not with Biesseworks or Biessenest but I have with the 2D dxf export to a few different CNC machines. It should be perfectly possible anyway. There is a user on the discord who has a Biesse Rover so perhaps he can help. Otherwise Brendan is also on the discord and he is a specialist, so he could get you up and running. I've seen you DM I will send you the discord invite

Jeremy thank you for all this, this is really helpful. I will report back with the results

still having random crashes. Thinking maybe it’s a user folder issue as I’ve heard about that on this forum before. Or maybe I don’t have enough ram? Only 8GB. I saw on extragroup German website it says 16gb minimum recommended. Any thoughts on that appreciated

@Ride that's ok it will probably fizzle out otherwise. Great to hear you are in touch with Brendan. I am interesting to hear how you get on with the Biesse as we might look at a Biesse in the future. I know what you mean about being too busy to sort this sort of thing out. We stop production for an hour every day to do 3Sing and Improvements, that's the only way we ever get any process improvements or workshop improvements made. Sounds crazy I know but we have got more improvements done in three months that we probably would have in two years.

Jeremy thanks I didn't know 5.2 had been released. I will post in here if any of the issues go away. I had also been having some weird glitchy line weights and viewports not outlining in red after updating the model space, hopefully this resolves it.

No worries, you should be able to get it set up to export to your CNC quite easily, maybe with some help. We have had two different CNCs and I have set it up twice, with a bit of effort / some trial and error. What CNC do you have or what are you using for postprocessing? There is also Brendan on the discord who is a specialist in setting up CNCs with interiorcad so (for a fee) you could get his assistance remotely if you wanted to turbocharge getting it working. Also if you want I can do a short zoom call to show you anything.

No worries let me know if you need any further advise. The discord should only take a second but the original invite link might not work, let me know if it isn't

http://conf.extragroup.de/im/latest/creating-custom-libraries scroll down to the area that says 'Creating Grids in Library'

No worries, sorry if you had the sound on there was propably a bit of puffing and sighing. It is in the manual put it's not massively clear so i learnt through some trial and error. Yes why not maybe I will do that! Hopefully @rikka finds it useful. Let us know how you get on and please do join the discord if you are a new user, there are some very experienced users on there including Brendan who is a specialist for integrating interiorcad with CNC machines.

@rikka actually I've done the videos anyway. This is based on using the Mafell's pin guide which I think is 15.8mm from the edge of the pin to the centre of the dowel, but if I'm wrong you can replace the 15.8 value with whatever the correct spacing is. Mafell DD40 Dowels x3 and x2 per your message X distribution for x3: 15.8(32mm*2); #(32*2); -15.8(-32*2) X distribution for x2: 15.8(32mm*2); -15.8(-32*2) And the screws: X distribution for x3: 15.8; #; -15.8 X distribution for x2: 15.8; -15.8 This should work but I've done it quite quickly so any issues let me know. I have also sent you an invite to the interiorcad global community discord Thanks

Hello @rikka You need to set up some custom grids for dowels and screws. I can record a video to show you how to do it for the Mafell but it would be good to know what the distance between the edge of the fence and the fence centre, or are you using the pins as the edge stop? Let me know and I will post a youtube video to show you. Thanks

Thanks for your advise, I will look into this.

Hello, Seem to be having a lot of issues of different kinds. 😞 Not sure what to do. 1. Regular crashes that seems to be caused by mac trackpad gestures, e.g. swapping desktop or viewing all windows 2. Crashes through general use of vectorworks - I am using interiorcad most of the time, so usually relating to one of interiorcads tools. 3. Strangely high memory usage, even a 64mb file has vectorworks memory usage at 6gb. This might also be causing crashes but I can't interpret the crash log. Does anyone have any recommendations on where to start resolving this. Thanks, Jake

If you are an interiorcad user I have set up a user/community support discord server. It's in it's early days but there are about 12 members thus far. I will DM you an invite to the server now.

Yes of course – I have DM'd you an invite.

Great, thank you. @Woodychips I have DM'd you an invite to the discord server. If you know any other US users interested please feel free to share the link. @Ride likewise thanks for your interest, I have DM'd you an invite. If you know any other CA users please feel free to share the link

Yes I know. If you speak German there is a lot of content on their youtube. I watch this sometimes but I could do with learning German. I have thought about making some youtube content so maybe I will get around to that in the future.

@Woodychips Thanks for your reply. Not familiar with Quantum CAD plug-in, can't access the website for it. The new fittings feature is great but the NC millings don't export so I can't use that feature at the moment. Have raised a ticket but waiting on a reply. I have a good friend in Marin County CA who is thinking of getting Interiorcad but he wasn't aware of any reps in the USA. Can I refer him to Tom Pearce/Coronal Studio? His other big concern was user support. Especially as a new user. My impression is that Cabinet Vision is the most prevalent and -at least in CA- their reps will even visit shops to help troubleshoot issues etc. Who do you deal with for support issues? I am visiting him in July to go to AWFS fair in Vegas so would be helpful to know. On the user support group, I have already set up a discord server (Stephan suggested it might be more appropriate than e.g. Signal) - are you familiar with discord? I've only just set it up so there are no other members. I can DM an invite to the group if so. @Ride Great. I have already set up a discord server (as Stephan suggested it might be more appropriate than e.g. Signal - I use Signal for work related chat so it's not mixed up with personal Whatsapp chat) - Are you familiar with discord? I've only just set it up so there are no other members. I can DM an invite to the group if so.
