Corna Support
Hey gang! Am I going crazy, I swear you used to be able to add Corna Catches to doors? I cannot for the life of me find the prompt or hardware material, or am I imaging things 🤪
House Construction using Microvellum
I’ve been developing my own products for nested based high performance house construction and wondered if anyone else is using Microvellum in a similar way? Is this a direction MIcrovellum would consider moving towards considering the enormous market
Feature Request - Ability to edit the part quantity that is processed in a workorder batch
It would be helpful at times to be able to edit the part quantity within the workorder itself when processing a batch of parts. This would be applicable when you have multiple products under the same product number where the parts are grouped together
Updating Drawing Information Dialog Box
Ok ... why?? Copied a room from (1) category to another, rename new room to new name and copied drawing file. Open the room and this box NEVER goes away no matter what, Why???
Unacceptably long wait time for tech support
10 to 14 days (minimum) waiting for tech support to address issues with BSB or Microvellum in general. Are they too busy for a courtesy email or call to let me know wait times are long? I have serious production and software problems that aren't being
Ladder Toekick
We use a Ladder Toekick for our cabinet bases. We are using ToolboxBSB with the Foundation Library 26.0220. Why was the ladder toekick that was in the Component Library taken out of the Foundation Library? I need the one from the Component Library back,
Trash Bin Logo
Greetings, I recently modified a trash bin and added circular routing for the trash bin logo. The box was at 26" and once I changed the width, the logo moved right along with it. How do I keep the logo in the center of box?

Foundation Reports - Why so slow?
Ok question ... Why are Foundation Library Reports SOOOO SLOOOOW For instance ... Work Order Summary - This dialog box below must flash like a dozen times! Obvious it's re-querying something all those times ... but why? (Happens with Nest Optimization
Feature request: Scrap optimisation
In the new optimiser the "smallest X" and "smallest Y" feature disappeared. The byproduct of this old feature was to get a usable part on the less optimised sheet (usually the last sheet of a given material). It would be great to have the option to maximize
Title block not populating from project properties
I changed the property value to be something that was less confusing and now the info wont populate across the drawing. Unfortunately, I know enough to try to make the change but not enough to fix it. I can still add info to the blocks by double clicking.

Trouble Creating Title Blocks With UDPP
Instead of my title block attributes pulling property values from the UDPP, it is asking me to input them manually every time I insert a title block (see attached screenshots). How can I fix this so that it the title blocks are auto-filled based off the
Feature Request - Pilot hole only construction method
There are many times I've wished for parts to get machined for pilot holes that don't match the properties of the 'Screw' construction, where we usually use confirmat screws (8mm face drilling and 5mm edge bore). Could we possibly get a new Pilot Hole
Keku clip issues with machining
We are trying to implement Keku clips into these cabinets. We've done well before with the ADA ones but when he tries to put in the clips on this one, the machining for the holes disappears on one of the axises (or axi?). Could someone please give me
Biesse Rover Edge
Best method of automating connection from MV to the Biesse Rover Edge (pod machine we use for edging curved profiles). Does anybody have this setup? We do very manual process - no part labels or anything. Operator imports dxf from a shared folder and
5 Piece Door With Finished Faces Sub Assembly
How can i make a 5 piece door, but the MDF middle panel is a "finished faces" sub assembly so i can make it a reeded profile?
Stud Wall Top Plate Dado
I've had this issue before but I do not recall the fix. Top plate on the die wall is not machining the dado.
Feature Request - Lock Axis Control
By all means if there is something like this - or it's already been requested, let me know. But one of my team's biggest frustrations is moving an object in, say, the Y axis and then switching views and realizing it has moved 20 feet back in the Z axis.
Material Takeoff withou Work Order
we create our material takeoff based on the work order summary of a project to figure all the sheet goods, banding, hardware, etc.. To do that i generate a work order called the project name then material and go through processing it just like i'm sending
Product Update Request: Soffit
1. It would be nice if there was an option to do more of a full depth product (Upper Cabinet Depth) with separate bottom plate cleating and blocking. This allows the front bottom plate behind the face panel to be finished while the rear can be a raw material.
Is it possible to edit the Composite Drawing default
Wondering if it's possible to edit the Composite Drawing default for how the text is laid out under the nest pattern. As some of our material names are long it covers the Yield value as seen in the Composite Original jpg. If possible I'd like to change
Feature Request: Removable stiles or rails for FF cabinets
If you are building face frame cabinets wall to wall, you need to send 1 or 2 stiles removable in order to install the cabinets. We need the ability to tell the shop this information so the face frame is constructed correctly. I think having a check box
CNC VCUT - Laminate Chipping
Hi, How does everyone avoid laminate chipping when machining the mitres on CNC? Have not had much success Regards,
'F' table default drawer slide thicknesses
We were finding that drawer boxes were coming out a little too wide for the openings they're supposed to fit in. Looking into the 'F' table, we see that the E column values are for the most part set to the exact thickness of the slides, without any 'plus'
incorrect perfect grain nesting
Build: 25.2.317.641 Library: Foundation 26.0112 With the new software build and the updated nesting algorithm, we are seeing errors on perfect grain nesting between multiple products. Specifically, we use separate header assemblies above upper cabinets

MVTB7 Launch Prompt and Error
Weird error ... How I got to this was ... missed / didn't click Continue upon opening AutoCAD and then MV. So got into AutoCAD ... type MVTB7 (like I've done before in the past) and this error comes up. Double checking the NETLOADMVTB7.lsp it shows this:
FEATURE REQUEST: Window Selection Mode to Follow CAD Behavior
Many operations inside of AutoCAD (and I'm assuming the same with BricsCAD) allow for object selection but will automatically switch to a window selection when the user clicks in space. This is very efficient. Currently, many of the commands in Microvellum
missing rooms
We have a very large project completing over a 2yr span. Engineer opened it and on the autocad side there are only categories and in the product list side there are only rooms but no categories. Anyone come across this before?
Product detail report
We just started using the new Toolbox BSB & I've noticed the product detail reports don't show an image of the product anymore? In the previous build I believe 2 out of the 4 product report options showed these isometric images which was handy for some
Feature Request: Maximum Button for Part List Review
It would be nice to have a Maximum Button to fill my screen for the Parts List Review dialog box. This should be standard on all dialog boxes.
String ACAD Error
Anyone been getting this error, here is the error wording and screenshot of the main box: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.InvalidCastException:
Cabinet material different the door/drawer face material
Cabinet material = PB Door/drawer face material = MDF Large educational project. Is there a way to do this globally instead of manually changing material on each and every door/drawer face? Currently in BSB, but Imperial Component Cabinet Library v0
PLINE token coming out with "3" for first argument in Parameters?
I have notice a potential issue with the PLINE token, or at least a functionality I can't find documented. Our PLINE tokens are being generated by Edit Part in 2D with a value of "3" for the argument that controls whether the token is Machine + Draw,
More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
Hey everyone, I think we can all agree the current "one vote" system is a good start, but it doesn't always show the full picture. Right now, a minor "nice-to-have" that lots of people upvote looks exactly the same as a "major workflow killer" because
Changing Current Configuration
I think it would be nice if there was the option to change the current configuration without exiting and relogging in. It would be nice if maybe you could do it from the tool bar also.
Changing Configuration - Splash Screen
I swear during my training videos, there was an MV command I could type to bring back the splash screen and change configuration. Would anyone know what that is? Â
Feature Request - Customisable Processing Centre Ribbons
It will take a moment to get used to these tabs coming from the old school one but I'm willing to adapt to change if there is an improved use case for it. I like the idea of having everything taking less clicks to access and this style of ribbon however
Toolbox Login Screen - Revamp
This might feel like a small change, and in some ways it is, but a few tweaks to our Toolbox login screen could deliver a lot of benefit... The biggest thing you’ll notice in this mock-up is the new sidebar. The idea is to give users a quick way to see
