FOUNDATION LIB.: Where did the toggle for door/drawer face 'hinge lines' get moved to?
Good morning all, In the component libraries there was a global for toggling the 2D swing direction lines of doors and also the diagonal line across a drawer face. Has this been moved, renamed, or removed?Where is this coming from?
I am editing / customizing the cross section for a base 1 drawer microwave cabinet and cannot for the life of me find out where the microwave outline is coming from in the section view. I looked in the subassembly file and did not see it. Can someoneTall cabinet doors not showing in plan view
I noticed that the tall cabinet doors are not showing for me in plan view. When looking at the spreadsheets, I see this formula in the finished faces subassembly prompts (foundation library 22.1.307.641). =IF(AND(Bay_Position>59,Bay_Position<67),"DRAWRECTANGLE",0)Microvellum Drafter
We are looking for someone with extensive experience and strong commitment to come join our millwork team. Some of the job duties include overseeing all aspects of the millwork production, create shop drawings and production cutlists as needed.Job description:2D wire pulls not showing up
The wire pulls native to the library ( Foundation 22_0317) aren't drawing on 2D drawings. The "rods" and knobs draw just fine. I've looked at the tokens, DRAWBLOCK is there, all parameters look correct, and I've been through the dwg's in factory data.Include all scales in my annotative dimensions
Here is my problem. We use annotative dimensioning. When I do the dims in model space it only includes the one scale that is current. As a result it does not show up if the viewport is at a different scale. I know how to fix it and add the extra scalesOpen Discussion: Shop Drawing Best Practices
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
I am trying to set up some plan view annotation through drawing token prompts. I can successfully do this however the layer name that I put in the prompts always has "2D_" appended to the front of it when it is created in the actual drawing. I am exportingWidth factor of Drawing Token Text
Can you adjust the width factor of text that comes in with 2D Drawing Tokens? The text that comes in with DRAW2DADJ (for example) is the correct text style, height, and layer, but the width factor of that text style is not applied. Can I change that?2d Elev Finish Labels
I can't seem to change my finish label on my generated 2D elevations. They are showing as "Imperial" which is the Spec group I'm in, which is not even what was supposed to be there to begin with, I don't think (should've been L1 till I changed it to PL1).Turning off Door Hinging in the spread sheets?
Using the 48_0 and the 50_3 libraries. We have a "Door" subassembly that we had help during one of our on-site trainings where we set it up and saved it to be used as a "trash pullout drawer". I have been asked to remove the Hinge Lines from the elevationP Line token
Hi, I'm getting the following problem consistently and not too sure what to do to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Dimension offset from the wall length
Hello guys, I'm trying to modify this offset from the wall dimension (I want to decrease this gap), but I'm not finding the filed to do this, I'm sending the picture below: I already tried the "Walls Setup", "Product Drawing Setup" and also the "ShopWaterfall end countertops
Curious how you guys are handling waterfall end countertops made from solid surface materials. The stock out of the box solution from Microvellum leaves a lot to be desired as it does not address any type of mitered nosings etc. For example, if I amProfiled Doors
Does anyone know how to add in a different profiled door. We don't produce the vinyl doors but would just be great to be able to show renders with the correct profile on the door. I am looking at getting the Calcutta Design from Polytec added inVideo Training Request - Sheet Set Manager
We would like to see a specific training video and a walk through from Microvellum on creating and using Sheet Set Manager through the OEM version of AutoCAD. Currently we have our room and drawing template setup to draw 15-20 rooms or more per CADSMA - Colored Models
When I analyze solid models all is good, but all of the lines turn the same color. Is there a way to preserve colors? It gets a bit confusing looking at a blob of lines that are all brown.Font used for tags and dims when inserting a product
I am trying to create a new template for our company and I want to cut down on the styles of text in the template, but still retain control over the look of the tags when a product is inserted. How does MV determine which style of text is used for dimensionsModel Space Labels
Hi. Can someone please help with getting the text to display to the correct scale. See attached image. I'm using the default template shipped with MV 22.0317. Toolbox 2019. I've changed 'annodisplay' to 0 and 1 and neight make a difference!!using metric
Is there a rule of thumb for using metric? 36" equals 914.4mm Is it proper to input 914mm and do not use a decimal, I am thinking you round-up and round-down .5 and below: DOWN .6 and above: UPShow 3mm PVC edge in countertop cross section
Is there a way to show edge banding on the edge of a countertop in a cross-section view? Specifically, what I want to do is show 3mm pvc edge on a 1 1/4 countertop. The edge will have a 1/8" (3mm) radius top and bottom. Currently my sections show aRaised Panel Door 2D Elevations
In trying to adjust how the raised panel door looks in 2D elevations I find reference to a setting called "RPDrawOffset" but cannot find where to adjust this setting.

I like how if you click on a part after selecting to open Edit Design Data, it opens inside of the Sub or Nested Sub that the selected part resides in. I would like to see the same feature on the Part Properties interface as well. It would save a coupleMoving Upper Cabinets
I am trying to create a pantry using a 3-drawer base cabinet and a 2 door upper with no gap between the 2 cabinets but am running into an issue of the 2 cabinets overlapping. I am looking to figure out how to adjust the z-axis position of the upper 2Link two products in a project
Hi Everyone, I have a situation where I have multiple products and their dimensions depend on each other. For example, Product A height and Product B height are in some proportion with each other. My question is if there is any way to link some parametersSQ meter report for doors
Any one know of a report that can spit out square meter of finished faces for use with painted doorsCabinet not saving to library properly.
After customising a library cabinet, I have tried saving it back to the library - AU_Premium_Library_20_1_2 . Everything seems fine until I go to insert the new customised cabinet into a new Project. Some of the information that was set up reverts to3D 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 couldAdding 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 myAdjustable Shelf Conflict
When I run a tall cabinet with adjustable shelves, and one of the shelves is near a cabinet door hinge, we get a weird route near the corner of the shelf. Is there a way to avoid this? It is the depth of the hinge cup route.2D Section Dimensions
When I draw a 2D cross-section of a product, the dimensions for the doors and drawer fronts are anchored to the face of the cabinet rather than the face of the door or drawer front. Is there a way to change this?Drawing Tokens - does it have to [END]?
According to the Drawing Tokens section of the Knowledge Base you need to add [END] at the end of the list. Is there a reason for this? None of our products have this. Is something going on during the processing of drawing the Elevation/Section/Etc.Sink cutout
Hi there, How can I cut out the sink on 'Countertop With Substrate' which is the model from the library? Actually, I edited it with the custom sink and set up the sink cutout from 'Prompts for Sink'. However, it does not work. So, when I use ‘viewbase’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 aBuyout Doors
I have a project where some of the rooms have in house built slab doors and some rooms have buyout shaker doors. I believe I have the materials for the buyout doors assigned to buyout materials and the doors are displaying correctly in my drawings. MyStatic page of template
How can I active the template page which is still and it can not apply any command? "Regenerating model- caching viewports" is shown on the command.Draw Selected Product in New Drawing
We'd like to setup Toolbox to "Draw Selected Product in New Drawing" using the mv2DTemplate.dwt. Our standard project template contains layout and block elements. These just get in the way when examining a single product. How can we map this commandHow can the '2D_ELV' layer not show when drawings product with "Draw 2D Products" tool?
When using the "Draw 2D Products" tool to make elevations from a 3D product, a rectangle of the product's width and height draws on the '2D_ELV' layer. The rectangle's width is dimensioned. This is in addition to the programmed items in the sub assemblies.Save to Library
For some reason I cannot save the "Carcass Tall" subassembly back to the Library. I have tried saving that subassembly from different projects as a test and that subassembly cannot be saved to the Library. I am able to save other subassemblies from theNext Page
