Movento locking device duplicated at product base point
Here was a weird one! The blum tandem locking device didn't do this, but the Movento one did. The item was placed correctly at the drawer box, but is then duplicated at the product base point. I opened the dwg files and discovered the Movento drawingsDraw 2D Wall Elevation
I would like to know where I can identify 2 things: 1. Where do I locate the information that tells mv to draw the elevation label. 2. After purging the label and then redrawing the wall, the block attributes are not coming in at the right location.island detection default settings
Hi, is there any way to change the default settings so that when I type BO, and the dialogue box comes up, the island detection option is NOT checked? I never need to detect islands, but after updating AutoCAD 2023 with MV, for some reason is always activated,On Site Measurement App

I'm curious to know what processes you're using when it comes to creating shop drawings. Are you strictly using Microvellum to draw plans, elevations, and sections? Is it a mix of Microvellum and AutoCAD drafting? What about AutoCAD functions and commands2D section tokens/drawing layers
Is there a way to assign different parts to different layers when making a 2d section? I would assume it would be a similar approach to the the 2d product tokens but I don't see anything for the sections specifically.Layer Names
