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
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.
New to Foundation Library
We have been using MV for many years but a legacy model due to heavy modification. The modifications have been extensive and done by different people (not all still work here). I am looking at streamlining the process by starting fresh with the Foundation
Die Wall Advanced
Anyone else attempting to use the new product adding a 5° slant and seeing this end result on verticals?
Gap at thick back global variable

Q3 2026 Microvellum Roadmap
Hello Microvellum Community! We've reached the halfway point of the year and the start of Q3, so it's time to share what we're working on over the next few months. As always, this isn't everything we'll do during the quarter—it's what we're committing
Lock out products to certain uses
Hello, Is there a way to lock product library's to certain users? Thank you, Tom
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
Moving Rear Linebore/Shelf Pin Holes to Face 6?
We use thick backs, fully captured, on our standard boxes and when processing, Microvellum will flip the back to machine their rabbets and also cut the part out without having to flip the piece on the CNC. When a rear linebore is added to a cabinet, however,
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
Feature Request: Prompt Color Customization
While I would still argue that giving shops the ability to fully "theme" the Light and Dark modes is ideal, I understand that it is a much larger undertaking than toggling between Light and Dark. The problem is the legibility of the prompt colors in the
FEATURE REQUEST - Switch License Check Interval from 10 minutes to 24h
As the title says, and in lieu of what happened today with Microvellum server down 2h for us on the East Coast, probably more for guys on different time zones, Microvellum/Innergy should switch to 24h intervals between checking licenses. This would allow
AWI CODBS
does anybody have the latest drafter and engineering wage stats they would be willing to share with me? A snapshot of it would be best. Thank you
Feature Request: Product List / Overdrive: Jump to Current Room
I wish the Product List would automatically start with or jump to the 'current room' selected in the project tree. I think, for large jobs at least, this would at least help Product List / Overdrive load faster as it wouldn't need to load the entire list
Persistent "i" on Tbox Taskbar icon
My floating license warning flashed & disappeared but now I've got an "i" notification balloon on my taskbar Tbox icon. What''s this supposed to mean? There is no attached notification, message or link.
Disable Microvellum Support AI during Ticket Creation
If I want to open a ticket, let me open a ticket. Can we remove the AI responses when attempting to create a ticket? I don't want to explain my problem to AI and I don't want AI telling me "that's expected behaviour." 12:36 AM | Daniel: Optimization for
Network floating session failed to open
Our licensing system is currently experiencing a service interruption affecting floating license sessions. If you're seeing a "Network floating session failed to open" error, this is the cause. SoftwareKey's team is actively working on a fix, and you
Microvellum Server Down
Is it just us or everybody?
Function Arguments break in Dark Mode
If I try to pull up function arguments while not in the edit formula screen and using dark mode I get a Could not evaluate formula error. I have tested by switching between normal and dark mode and this only happens while in dark mode. Was curious if
FEATURE REQUEST - Option to create nest patterns without G-code
Okay to put this as simply as possible, when we create a nest, say we do B1, we never actually use the code from B1, we always open the B1 composite, add offcuts / spare parts etc (also do nothing sometimes) but then we always generate new G-code from
New Foundation Library Release Available Now: Build 26.0630
We are happy to announce that a new update for the Foundation Library, Build 26.0630 is now available! New releases of Microvellum's Foundation Library include resolutions for numerous issues, numerous enhancements to existing products and variables,
filler heights
hey guys see screen shot how do i default the fillers to be flush to the top of my carcase and not with the 3mm reveal that it goes back to the top gap global?
Toolbox Panel will not load a start of Bricscad
Loaded Bricscad and checked out a few things and the next day when opening it the Toolbox Panel doesn't load. Anyone know the command to get it started up?
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.
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
