1
Download the installer

One EXE, works with either BricsCAD or Rhino 8 (or both — the installer detects what's on your machine).

Download CabSlam CAD

Requires the CNC plan. Not signed in? Log in first.

2
Run it

No UAC prompt — it installs entirely under your own Windows account, nothing goes into Program Files.

Seeing "Windows protected your PC"? That's Microsoft SmartScreen flagging an app that isn't cryptographically signed yet — it isn't a virus warning, just an unfamiliar-publisher notice. Click More info, then Run anyway.
3
Open BricsCAD or Rhino

The CabSlam commands are already loaded — no NETLOAD, no visit to Options → Plug-ins. Type DBS to confirm (it opens the CNC Settings dialog).

4
Sign in

On the Account tab (the first tab in DBS), click Sign in. Your browser opens to approve the plugin — approve it once, and the tab shows "Signed in as [email protected] — cnc tier." That pairing is remembered; you won't see this again unless you sign out.

5
Get the block template (BricsCAD only)

Still on the Account tab, click Download block template — this gets you real hardware blocks (hinges, slides) instead of placeholder geometry, and BricsCAD picks it up automatically. Rhino doesn't need this step.

Done — run RC

Generate parts in CabSlam, then type RC in your CAD app. That's the whole install.

Troubleshooting

RC says "not signed in" even after I signed in

Run DBS, confirm the Account tab really shows "Signed in" (not the CNC key fallback line). If it does and RC still fails, the server may be waking from an idle sleep — the first request after inactivity can take up to a minute. Try again shortly.

The Sign in browser window shows a login page I don't recognize

That's getcabslam.com — log in with the same account you subscribed with, then approve the pairing request on the page that follows.

A command I expect isn't there

Re-run the installer — it's safe to run again over an existing install (it just re-registers, no duplicates). If BricsCAD or Rhino was open during install, restart it afterward.
