Any of you who use an Incra jig for doing dovetails might be interested in this program. I just bought the "Incra Universal Precision Positioning Jig". Rockler had them on sale for $39.99 before Christmas.
The jig works nice but is somewhat limited since it can only make a limited number of different dovetail joints. The program allows you to make dovetails with different types of dovetail bits and different pin and tail layouts. It actually generates a new set of templates that are used with the jig. Each set of templates can be printed out and used to make the dovetail joint that you prefer.
The program can be downloaded from http://www.internetwoodworking.com/w5/dovetail.html
By the way the program is free.
I am not connected in any way to the makers of this software.
