Easier method of assigning 3D Hardware blocks
It would be great to have a file location browse button for assigning 3D and 2D blocks to hardware, so you could just select the block you want to assign to your hardware instead of having to type out the file location by hand.
Block Attributes locations moving
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with defined attributes within blocks remaining where they're supposed to be when they publish sheet sets (see attached snips). I've tried ATTSYNC and BATTMAN commands that will fix the issue
Face 6 programs/Lables
im having a bit of an issue, seems to only happen on corner units (that i can tell) I print lables for parts with face 6 drilling, as usual... so the cnc operator knows what parts need it and which axis to flip the part.... our issue is, the lable picture

Feature Request: Add Grain direction options To drawer bottoms
As per the title please add global grain options to the library for drawer bottoms, we run grain going left to right, and as per usual for us though, the default, is opposite front to back.
FEATURE REQUEST: Integrate Underpanel as Subassembly within Upper Cabinet Product
Hi everyone, There is currently an underpanel product available in the library, and we use it on nearly every job. However, it must be manually inserted and positioned each time. Given how commonly underpanels are used in upper cabinetry, it would be
Nesting tabs not generating in CIX BIESSE
I can not seem to get tabs to generate in the CIX when importing into BSolid. Is this an issue with how BSolid reads CIXs or am I missing something. Border method is apparently not important as Tabs work in all 3 but I set it to standard anyways. I have
Hidden Draw/Dim Prompts
I forgot what these (2) prompts were, but one was like ELVNODIM but there was another one that would hide some of the automatic rectangles that would be made in elevation no. I just dont remember what that one was called.
Change the Distance Between Parts functionality in the Processing station
Would it be possible to have the Distance Between Parts prompt in each the nesting processing stations changed to a distance to add to the nesting tool diameter instead of a fixed spacing? We occasionally select a tool with a larger diameter than our
FEATURE REQUEST: Adjust Part Spacing Based on Material and/or Tool
I would like for the optimizer to adjust the spacing between parts based on the machining or border tool defined for the material. I think that this could be accomplished with an additional setting in the Material Code for adding a specific bit for the
Feature Request: Small Part Spacing
We have determined that spacing out small parts enough that it is more than double the diameter of the border tool plus a 1/4" that the parts will not move. Currently we have to mostly do this by hand. I tend to use a different processing station to space
BricsCAD Realistic View
Since making the jump to BricsCAD recently I have been unable to get the lighting right in the realistic visual style. The main settings are: Options - Default Lighting 1 (doesn't seem to do anything) Options - linear contrast (doesn't seem to do anything)
Feature Request: Make the Add Lead-out to polyline button work
This one is self-explanatory. There is a lead-out button on the Draw Part in 2D / machining ribbon that doesn't work and Microvellum asked me to make a feature request after noticing that it doesn't work.
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.
Rabbets - Clipped Corners
I have curved parts originally generated by SMA. Please explain why Microvellum clips the corner of a rabbet I added later. We will use a 1/2" dia router, so when creating the tool path, I want the path to extend at least 1/4" past the part outline. This
Having GROOVE token only for machining
Has anyone figured out how to set up a saw so that the machining doesn't show-up in the model? We use aggregated to cut V-grooves on our flat bed router, I have them setup as saws since they're always in a strait line and usually are run after the nest.
Handle/Knob will not move in Y direction
I am currently having and issue where the handle/knobs are not moving even if I change the Y location. I need the handles to be placed on the center panel of the door because of how the rails are constructed, but no matter what I input into the Y, the
Looking for Server Recommendations and Real-World Performance Feedback from Larger Microvellum Users
Hi everyone, We're currently reviewing our Microvellum SQL Server infrastructure and would really appreciate hearing what other users are running, especially those with larger Foundation Libraries and Work Order databases. Our current server specifications
Occasional Weirdness When Nesting
Once in a while nested parts don't come out exactly as expected. Simple example: (Note the tool path reversal on the 4-sided cutout) I'm not aware of a Processing Station setting (Microvellum Nesting Optimizer) that would affect this, but to be honest,
How to remove the Item Number in 2D Elevation?
Theres a few products that in elevation we dont really want to show the item number. We dont process it on any report and its manually cut in the shop. Is there a way to delete it from a product without messing with layers.
FEATURE REQUEST: Scribe Filler Tweaks
Feature Request: Scribe Filler Tweaks Dear MV Team & Community, Heres my proposed idea tweaks that can be made to the Scribe Filler with Cleats Filler Part Name --> Show on part reports whether the filler is a LH or a RH filler e.g. you have a 2 Door
FEATURE REQUEST: Product Prompts UI Customisation
Wouldn't it be great if we could customize the Product Prompts UI even more, adding images and positioning prompts in different places to make it easier for end users to navigate the product interface? Current Interface: Interface Customisation Idea:
FEATURE REQUEST: Show Formula Button for "Height Above Floor"

Feature Request: 2D Tools and Partslist pallet - keep selected tool selected
Please allow the 2d Tools and Partslist tool selection to remain while the pallet stays open, and prevent it from jumping back to the top of the available tools list. I'm doing a bunch of manual routes and the selected tool is reset EVERY TIME, though
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
Drawer front adjusters override
Something seems to override the placement of the drawer front adjusters from the drawer front to the sub front of the drawer box. Hardware options in the subassemblies has the right formula (1/2 height). Any suggestions?
Feature Request: Determine part orientation / Machine point location in the smart layer prior to SMA
Our engineering team does a lot of custom products where we use SMA. We have determined with Microvellum support that the way vertical parts come in through SMA is random...I.E. the part orientation good side up switching facing back or forward, Machine
Feature Request: Rough cut offset for Small Parts
We have an issue when cutting solid surface small parts that tends to be solved if we run a perimeter cut first just slightly larger than the part size. I know in our tool file we get the option when doing a multi-pass tool that you can offset the first
Incorrect Sections
Dont' know why it's happening now all of a sudden in another room. The 3D model and 2D elevation correct but the 2D sections are missing key elements such as doors and shelves. I've drawn is kitchen several times now. In BSB 2025 it worked. Now redrawing
Our XML based ordering 3D Rendering upgrade!
I though I'd share a link to our website that I've just updated with live 3D renderings for the products we sell online. Our website customers place orders through the site, which sends me an XML file that I upload into Microvellum that results in ZERO
Microvellum Support AI is not so bad

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

I am using the plastic drawer spacers on inner drawers of a tall cabinet. My slide is a blum movento. I am getting 2 drwr spacers at the front and back. Would like to add maybe 1 or 2 more in between. Not sure where this is being controlled. F?, H? Subassembly?
