I have my template set up for the line types and colors per layer that I would like to use. I did not change the layer names that came with Microvellum. When I draw a product, Microvellum seems to ignore the existing layers and create new. I.e. if I haveViewbase Freezes

When prompting a cabinet and toggling the "Open Finish" toggle under "Finishing Options", only the carcass is changed to open finish, while all of the interior components remain white mel. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. Why would you wantViewbase hidden
I have never had any need to draft beyond a basic level, other than straight forward plans, but when I do use VIEWBASE, I encounter an issue on the odd drawing. The view is hidden in paper view and I am unable to resolve this. Any advice to resolve this?How do I get the CNC to park after it finishes cutting?
As asked above, we used to use Cabinet Vision and something in the GCode would have the CNC go into Park after it was done with a specific code. How can I do the same with Microvellum? We have a morbidelli n100 CNC. Thanks in advance!Finished End Screws

How do you change the default block used in 3D drawings for Item Symbols? I have seen MV Tech's do this but I cannot remember how they did it. The default block is ItemSymbol3DAnno.dwg and I want it to default to ItemSymbol3D.dwg. Both of these blocksDialogue boxes aren't sized correctly
Most of my dialogue boxes are not the correct size, preventing me from viewing all options and prompts in dialogue boxes. How do I adjust these?Mitre Shelves on the wall

Is it possible to pass a modifier to the text on a dimension in a drawdim token? I've tried adding `=Width&" +\-"` for example, and it just gets angry and throws an index out of bounds error (which I'm guessing means I'm trying to pass too many argumentsFeature request: Scalable flatshot token
Hello, Was wondering if this is possible. We use the flatshot token to create a dynamic image in model space so we can get approvals without having to process a work order. A scalable flatshot would make it much easier to set out our dynamic product imageComponant doors
This may or may not be a stupid question but here goes. I have created a base cabinet with a flap down push open door, ive added a soft open stay piece of hardware and a push catch, all works great. however,,,,,, these hardware items now show up in other2 door base cabinet with 1 sink in the middle

Isn't there a shortcut/hot key for toggling the "Select Entire Product" option in the "Other" tab on the main Toolbox pallet? I swear there's one, but I've looked through the KB, the TB commands list, all listed commands in the CUI, etc, but I can't findSuppress individual Item Numbers
Can we get a hidden prompt or something that will allow us to suppress the product ID in plan and elevation per product. End panels that have an item number or ladder base that spans multiple cabinets throws the item number in the most inconvenient place.Wall cabinet formula help

I'd like to see Microvellum add more functionality to the drafting side of things in regards to the automation of the title block and the contact tables that are available. There seems to be an issue with pulling data from the contacts tables through2D_DIM layer keeps popping up
I've spent some time creating a new drawing template for our company and made sure to start from scratch and remove the years of added elements and only create new layers, text styles, dim styles, etc. The template looks good, but I noticed that whenModel to 2D drawings
Looking for recommended adjustments I can make in Microvellum to speed up the process of creating 2D drawings. 2D plan view and elevations seem to be pretty good using the MV tools. The section views take more time to add measurements and leaders thatProject Variables linked to Project Wizard

What's the best way to modify the elevation width dim on the straight countertop product? I just want it to show up in blue on the same layer like the rest of my dimensions, but for whatever reason any changes I make don't affect it. I'd also like theHatch Direction
Is there a way to default hatch direction to a certain orientation? Example - hatch for a plywood countertop substrate should run left to right, while the splash hatch should run top to bottom. Is there a way to do this automatically? Thank you.Color Labels only go to 4 characters

I'm curious to know how many users are using AutoCAD's VIEWBASE command to create their paper space layouts/views. The concept is pretty cool, but for me the cons outweigh the pros. Pros: Quickly draw elevations, sections, isometric views on a singlemodifying cabs
I am a new user of MV, about 3 weeks.

I am doing a one cabinet unit that is 5' long withElevation is off when associated products are off the wall
Sometimes I need to have my cabinets off the wall , have a gap at the back. As long as my cabinets are on the wall Elevation draws fine. If I move the cabinet off the wall to create the gap, Elevation goes haywire. Is there a trick to keep the elevationDim overlaps the item number?
I need to move the box dimension down a little further as it overlaps the box item number. I am going to the global variables/shop drawings/2delevations/ elevation dim offset baseline and elevation dim offset veritical but this does not move the dim in the drawings.
