OVOO Panel Connectors and Other Options in MIcrovellum
I am looking into "out of the box" panel connector options for Microvellum. We are Build 24.1.1030.641. OVOO looks like a nice option. Has anyone programmed for these or have a link to instructions; looks like we need to add a T-Slot tool. Any other recommendations?

FEATURE REQUEST: Sub & Nested Sub Warning Messages display when product is redrawn (like L! ones do)
If you put a warning at the product level, it displays on a pop-up when the product re-draws. But, the same is not true for subs and nested subs. If you put warnings in them, they only display when you create a W.O. It would be great if they would work
Adding .XLSX file Format to Reports

Feature Request - Ribbon "Viewport Standard Scale" button to display current scale (Instead of "Custom")
This is a little thing but.... Usually we have a shop standard for our viewport and so you can just select it from the drop down and so you know what your scale is. BUT sometimes when setting our Viewport Scale, we zoom to get the product big enough to

Alternate Unit Input/Conversion Functionality in MV
In Microvellum & Innergy Design it would be nice to be able to use any unit type in any entry box and have it automatically convert it to the current unit, so if you are in Inches but you had a metric measurement for a feature you could input 127mm and
Cut Part Is Smaller than Model
We are having a problem where our nested part (and what gets cut at the machine) is smaller than the dimensions in Microvellum and what is shown the model. It is not on all parts but it seems to be on parts with multiple edges edgebanded. However it isn't

Microvellum Toolbar Resize Issue When on Right of the Screen
I like my Microvellum toolbar to be on the right of the screen. When MV starts with the toolbar located on the right, it can't be resized. You have to first swap it the left, then back to the right to get the resize to actually stick. Every time MV is

Aventos HKi - backside pocket cut, left side
Aventos HKi - The left side hardware pocket is pocketing on backside (red), but the cutout outline is on correct face. I'm not sure how - I've dug into the hardware tokens - there's only one vector as expected. The routes look correct in '2D Parts', but
Associated products not moving with Wall
Anybody else noticing this? When using MVMOVE to move a wall the products associated to it used to move with the wall. This isn't necessarily a problem because the products are indeed still associated and will produce sections when selecting the wall

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

How to Understand Error Messages
This question is twofold: 1) What in tarnation does all this mean? 2) What do you all do when these errors pop up. This is clearly written to someone who understands programming. I wish MV would target the user- (or do I really need to be at a level where
Anyway to do a non square polygon pockets
