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 could

Increased Control over 2D Section Layer Names
When creating a 2D section, all parts are created on the "2D_SECTION" layer name. Instead, it would be great if we could follow the 3D Draw Token Column, and use those layer names to dictate the 2D Section parts. So while all of our 3D solids have a
