How To Adjust Hatch Scale for Custom Material
So im going through the material editor and called out for 'AR-CONC' for a 2cm stone material. When it creates my section the hatch is at 1.0 Scale. I went into 'Hatch' and settings to adjust it to .25 but it doesnt adjust the material selection scale.2d Grain Indicator
We would like to be able to use our own block for the 2d-Grain indicator if possible. We also want this to come in the same size on all finished faces instead of scaling on larger/smaller ones. Finally, we want to move the location of the direction toDouble side panels
When I draw a "Tall Fridge Cabinet", somehow it always draws a double side panel. Every time I need to manually "Erase the part".Is it a software bug or a settings problem?MV Product Inside of Block Editor
Hello All, Just throwing this out to any who may take interest... For reasons not terribly important to the topic... "Because I wanted to." 😄 I drew an MV Product inside of Block Editor... It drew fine... I was able to access the interfaces once drawn..Internal Drawers - Wood boxes - Sub front
Hi, I feel kind of stupid for asking but anyways: We recently switched to doing all drawers as Wood Boxes with Blum Movento runners. All works great, except for internal drawers. The sub front is never finished, no matter what setting I use. CurrentlyAdding a Pull
I am attempting to add a new pull into my Microvellum hardware. I am following the Knowledge Base methods and everything was going good until I opened the Workbook Designer, went to the Global page and the Lookup Table tab. There is no Pull list in myproject vs template materials
I have been using the local version of MV for a long time. We have spec groups set up for most scenarios. Process when starting a projects. make a copy of the desired spec group along material file and edge banding files rename to spec group / materialdouble rendering
Hello Microvellumers! Does anyone experience this issue? When re-drawing a product (usually when changing a prompt dimension) the new product drawing appears and the old remains in the screen as seen in the image below. It doesn't happen every time time,Force attach materials to a appliance
How do i go about forcing the materials i have attached to the base drawing for a appliance, in this case an aga, that is not built into MV by default but is now in the system by me. However no matter what i try i cant get the materials stick to the layersDrawer Front Calculator
I would like to turn it off, so the Designers can not access it. Where is it located and has anyone have it turned off?copy from one wall to the another
So I've been using Microvellum since 2007. I got away using MV walls but now we are going back to it. So this is a MV 101 question. How do i copy a product from one wall to the next. Whenever i use the MV copy command i get extra elevation drawn everywhere.CutParts File & Formula Materials
I've been trying to make some updates to our formula generated materials and just made a pretty big mistake due to not understanding how the CutParts file worked. In the library template, I made a copy of the CutParts file and started to edit the formulaWorkflow with other team members
What are other peoples workflows with other team members? we are only a team of 3, but it seems two of the 'designers' want to slap units down make them look good enough for a sale, then i'm left to clear up any mistakes, exchange cabinets for betterHinge offset form edge doesn't adjust with gaps on doors
So I have the newest Toolbox and library and now whenever I set a reveal to the edge of the door the hinge hole moves with it to always be at 22.5mm to center of hole from edge of door. This is not the way it is supposed to work since the 22.5mm shouldLift Up Pocket Door
Have a request for a Lift Up Pocket, any of you residential shops doing this?, if so what hardware do you recommend. I see this Richelieu, but it does not allow to hide the system, the track plate is in the way. https://thebuilderssupply.com/richeliSetting counter depth for project?
I have tried adjusting it in the globals but the change does not affect new products drawn. Is this the correct area to change the counter depth for the project?Efficient Workflow for High-Volume Shop Drawings: Mixed CAD & Microvellum Approach?
Background: For a medium to large casework project, we usually have 30-80 shop drawing layouts. We have 4-7 days to make changes to the entire set each revisions.

Is it possible to edit the Dynamic Image Token to automatically remove certain parts that we don't need to see in our exploded image?item # scaling
I'm setting up standard scaling moving from annotative. I have everything working correctly except the item number which comes out very large. Anyone no where the variable is that controls this? I'm in the latest version of the foundation library ThProduct - DRAW ONLY
Is there a way to make a product DRAW ONLY? Example, quartz countertops and splash. We don't produce them, but I'd like to be able to have them shown in the drawing just as any other product but not be included in a production nest when I window the wholeRadio Button Group Label Text

I want to have the room name appear in my title block. Also how do I make the date show the day that I publish the sheet?3D Solids Disappearing
We have an issue with Microvellum OEM 2019 with 3D solids disappearing from the drawing. It seems to happen randomly. For example, we would save a drawing at the end of the day and everything is good. But the next morning, when we open the same drawing, all the 3D solids have disappeared. There is no error message. Both AutoCAD and Microvellum created 3D solids would be gone. The Microvellum 2D products are not affected. Fortunately, the Microvellum products Item Numbers are still there and we couldInswing Pantry Door

I could use some help understanding why some ProductReportPrompts do not show up in the columns. For example, I'm looking for Thickness_Toe_kick but it not in the list. I tried to manually add it but the value doesn't pull though.Copying Rooms & Walls Issue
Anyone else have any issues with walls when copying a room? It seems like when we copy a room, it's not always copying the wall objects correctly. We noticed that walls were sometimes redrawing with the copied products from the copied room and vice-versa.Centre Dado
It would be great to have a global option for a Centred Dado along side the Lock Dado & Regular Dado options for those that can machine face 6.TCount - Renumber Text

I am wondering if anyone has been successful at having their Section Dims only show up in one Annotative scale while drawing in model space at 3/4"? Can it be done in 2D Instructions? Always need to manipulate the scale list to achieve the scale I wantNext Page
