Edgeband Thickness
We use 0 thickness for our edging and premill the edging thickness at the machine. Can we fix the edging thickness to accept 0 for the thickness. Right now I type in 0.000, and you would think that would be the same as 0, but it isn't. If I don't, get
2D generated wall doesn't match 3D model
Why does the 2D elevation not match the model? I've tried deleting and re-model but it still shows up incorrectly. Also, I accidentally modeled a cabinet instead of a wall panel so I "undo" the cabinet but it still shows up in the 2D elevation but not
Zoomed WAY out
When I change views in model space Microvellum zooms out so far I lose sight of the drawing. Any ideas what is causing this and how to fix it? Change View gets zoomed way out The model is still there but I have to zoom back in every time. I have looked
Cut List Report for Solid Stock / Hardwood?
Has anyone or anyone made a cut list report for solid stock / hardwood. I know that the Face Frame kind of does this. And the Solid Stock Report(s) give you Linear Footage, Board Feet and Square Feet by solid stock type and width - Which is good for running
We Need "Actual" Perfect Grain
To whom it may concern, I have discovered what I believe to be a flaw in both the name and execution of "Perfect Grain" within Microvellum. I will try my best to articulate myself, but I may need to draw something to aid in someone's understanding. In

Can one Copy a product form one project to another?
I have a modified toe kick in one project I would like to use in another project. Is there an easy way to copy and move it to the new project (not just a new room) ?
Scale text attribute not changing to match viewport in BricsCad
I have used a callout block in AutoCAD for many years, and when clicked, you can change the callout information and change whether the drawing is a section, plan, elevation, and so on. When drafting the scale attribute text changes when I change the scale,
FEATURE REQUEST: Create a 4-sided cutout machine token with the option of radiused corners
This machine token would get so much use I believe, if we could do away with the bulge list for a simple 4 sided cutout it would allow a simple parametric machine operation rather than quite a long vector driven formula.
Looking for work. Samples available on request
Solid Modeling Tools - Can't move joints
We're trying to test out solid modeling tools/extruded product tool for the first time, but I'm running into a major issue while doing so. For some reason, the insert joint and move joint tools aren't doing anything in the solid modeling editor. They
Model exist but product view data is empty
Was about to edit the product number but can't seem to find the data - it all disappeared but he model can still be seen. These are simple wall panels. Anyone have had this happen and if so, know a fix? Trying to save hours of work.
Model base kick not in the right location
Why does the model not located in the right position despite the anchor points where set to the corner of the wall? MV models it to the right out of the entire assembly. I can bump the product into place but was wondering if there's something fundamentally
Best practice for associative machining between products
I have a cabinet that is 120" tall with a lower carcass @ 96" and an upper @ 24". I have a single door that spans both cabinets with 5 hinges total, 3 below, 2 above. If the upper and lower are listed as separate products, what is the best practice for associating the door machining with both of the cabinets. Note that I tried creating a product with both upper and lower carcass and the door, however, the upper and lower will ship separately so the shop wants them as separate items. Any thoughts
🤔What happened to my drop downs in Shop Drawings
Can't figure it out. Has it happened to anyone else??
Issue: Product Deletion from Model Space Does Not Remove Product from Project (BSB 26.0527)
We have identified what appears to be an issue in Microvellum BSB version 26.0527. When a product is deleted from Model Space while the Product Viewer is open, only the product geometry is removed from the drawing. The product itself remains in the project
FEATURE REQUEST: Additional Auto Assign Rules for Processing Stations

Poor Optimization w/ BSB
Despite some reservations we upgraded out license to BSB, mainly for the optimizer improvements. While significantly faster than OEM, I am still getting very poor results. Below is an image of a typical grid, there are 50 sheets that look essentially
Shaped Part Edging
Can we have the line on the shaped part bolder than the non-edged lines. Currently it is bolder but not by much and when the label is printed on the CNC it almost looks the same especially if there are tenons on the ends.
STORETEQ S-200 Has any one got one?
We have a STORETEQ S-200 that we go from Microvellum through Cut rite to use, is there a way to remove Cut rite from the process.
Square off or Trim nest instead of using offcuts
We would like to have a way to square off a nest without trimming fully around an offcut. I'd like to not machine 4 sides of offcuts but rather trim the full length (or width) of the sheet. this helps avoid offcuts potentially being too short for future
Material file randomly changing data
Has anyone ever experienced the material file randomly changing data? For example, we have three rooms - kitchen, bedroom, bathroom. 3 completely different spec groups for each, all with independent components and all labelled as their relevant room.
Nesting Parts with Consistent Veneer "Flame" Direction
When nesting on veneered sheet goods cabinet parts, especially sides, the mirrored components will often not have a consistent orientation. This can result in one side being "flame" up and the opposite side being "flame" down. Having a way to designate
Feature Request - Printable Comments
Something i've always wished we had was a way to convey information on a nesting patter that comes through onto the report drawing. I assume it would work in the following way, user draws something in 2d, makes it a specific colour on a specific layer
Cancel function when processing work order
Sorry if this has already been suggested. How many times have you gone to the work order creation window and hit process then realised you have missed something and need to cancel but cannot. If it's a large creation, this can take many, many minutes
FEATURE REQUEST: Hardware Images in Material File Hardware Library
Something like the below image would be nice, to help keep our very large hardware library straight. It could reference a CAD dwg or require a separate JPEG to be stored, similar to the Product Images, Machine Token Images, etc. If these could be used
CPOUT ERROR WHEN PROCESSING
We just started to get the following error when we are processing jobs. Does not matter if its in the Foundation Library or Legacy Library as it happens in both of them. Has anyone gotten this error and what was the solution? I did send a ticket into
FEATURE REQUEST: Part Properties Open Inside Selected Sub
I like how if you click on a part after selecting to open Edit Design Data, it opens inside of the Sub or Nested Sub that the selected part resides in. I would like to see the same feature on the Part Properties interface as well. It would save a couple
How to find a specific Prompt ?
I there a way to search for a specific prompt ? I am looking for "Wood_Spacer_Height" . It is a hinge side filler for a drawer /pullout. I thought it might be in the global spec group but didn't see it. Is there a better way to find things than just poking
