2D drawing token elevations of face panels to match doors/drawers
I have added face panels to a project as they are the appliance panels we are shipping with a kitchen. When I am drawing elevations whether walls or products, those panels are not drawing like the doors and drawers. It is just a simple box. How can I2D Leg levelers
Hi, I would like to know if any of you found a way to have the correct view of the leg levelers? By default, there are 2 rectangles. I added the DRAWBLOCK but the rectangle is still there!! With DRAWBLOCK What I would likeThanks, Judy2D Wall Elevation Not working
This was working fine, now it is not. I have a simple Closet Drawn and wanted a 2d Elevation but the result is as attached and getting the dreadful "Unhandled exception" error also crashing Error.Streamline Process of Drawing Products from the Product List
The current process of drawing products from the Product List (Overdrive Pro) requires that you leave that interface, enter the Product Viewer interface, right-click on the desired product to draw, hover over two flyout menus, and click the desire option for the drawing. I realize that the current process offers more options than previous versions, but it now requires several more clicks than was necessary for those versions. Is there any way to streamline this process to make it less cumbersome?Remove Construction Holes when Drawing Sections
Is there a way to remove the construction holes in a 2D section without choosing the option of drawing it only with minimal machining and shelf holes? I'd like to keep the 3d drawing that I base everything off of with Full Machining but I can't figureSpecialty Angled Cabinet Help!!
Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone knows how I can properly build this cabinet; its angled at the back 45 degrees, and has an angled front door. I've tried using transitional cabinets, and it seems not to work for angling the back, only the front.Drawing in 2D adds chairs....
Okay this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen happen in my life. We needed to add a rear toe kick notch and the next thing I know we have two chairs hanging out on the drawing. We actually can't even process this job, due to these things I assume. HasDrawing Index Creation
Currently we utilize Sheet Set for managing our drawing layouts. It is phenomenal AutoCAD tool that gives us the ability to manage all of our information across multiple drawings really well. Microvellum has some of this by way of the user defined projectMinimize windows To reference drawing
I think this topic has been discussed but I am not finding it. It would be nice to have the ability to minimize any of the open Microvellum windows to reference the drawing. Another thought would be able to have the double click option within the wizardHow does HeightAboveFloor works?
Trying to do a custom product from scratch and I got to the part where I want to have it at a certain height. I added the HeightAboveFloor prompt which got me above the floor but not quite there. See below. How does this prompt work and how can you adjustcan't draw wardrobe
There are few wardrobes blocks that I can't draw the wardrobe.FEATURE REQUEST: Access Prompts/Properties/Edit Design Data from a Section
In builds in the past I remember being able to open the Product Prompts, Product Properties, and Edit Design Data from selecting a part drawn in a section. I miss this. This was always helpful for making corrections to products that were often found onceCan't open block editor
I would like to open "block editor" to modify the block.But i can only open enhanced attribute editor.as attached.Feature Request: Option for Wall product elevation tokens
Please enable the MV System Prompts 'ELVNODIM' & 'ELVNOOUTLINE' on Room Component Wall products. Currently there is no way to disable to existing Elevation dims or product outline in order to replace it with custom tokens.Feature Request: Edit Walls with 'Edit Multiple Product Prompts'
It is difficult to adjust wall prompts once they are drawn. Making them accessible through the Edit Multiple Product Prompts command would be very helpful.Handle missing in section
Hi, I seem to have an issue from time to time where my handles will not show in my 2D sections. I have tried multiple stock handles and some copied ones. What am I missing? There seems to be drawing tokens attached and I've tried all options from the2d Plan View drawing
Is there a way to include the depth of the door in the plan view of a cabinet? when I draw a plan view it only outlines the carcass. Also I would like to include the complete thickness of wall (hatched). Does anyone know how to accomplish this as weFront to back equals formula
Does anyone know of a formula similar to the EQV formula that work in the depth of a product instead of the width?Solid Modeling Tools - Restoring Product with Supplemental Parts
it appears that there is a bug when restoring a product with supplemental parts in Solid Modeling Tools (see attached for error message). it will redraw the 3D product without the supplemental parts, but the product is not listed in the Tree View window.Part Drawings
Hey everyone, I'm rather new to MV and I've gone trough 30 hours of basic and intermediate training and I'm not sure this was covered, but is there an easy way to generate 2D part drawings off a cabinet model? Is there a report of command to create these?view cube keeps disappearing
when i am in the middle of drawing my view cube keeps disappearing and I have to go in to drawing Options and hit apply to make it show again a bit annoying has anyone else have this issue.SMA parts not converting right
Hello, do you guys have problems with SMA not converting the parts correctly. Some of them are right, some of them are only panels even as in 2d the machining is present, just wont generate right in 3d. So hoping is just a setting somewhere. Thanks.Spread sheet column headers not lining up.
Is there a way to fix this so the column headers line up properly above the data? ThanksMerging Spec Groups
So, long story short, when we started using MV we settled on 2 different spec groups for the 2 different sides of our company however after using it for a while I realised this wasn't the way to go about it as a lot of things are shared over the 2 specRefresh Item Number Tag Only
Would be great to have the facility of refreshing the product item number tag only once products renumbered through the product list rather than having to re-draw all products just to refresh the item number tag.Modify default MV hatches
Hi, where do you modify the hatches that MV uses for its sections? The one for particleboard is to light. I would like to change it or modify the scale. Thanks.Dimension layer help!
Hi all, I'm new to Microvellum (6 months in the software) and I've managed to change some configuration and can't figure out how to change it back. Previously when I would draw something the dimensions would automatically populate and then by hiding/unhidingHow Does Scribe carry through the projects from the Design Data
I took apart a product to understand scribe in MV and got very confused. Scribe is part of the X Y and Z origins, where if you add it, the editor moves your panel or part over by that much. But the size of the part seems to stay the same. Is "scribe"Offset elevation problem
Hi ! Just like the jointed image, when I do an elevation from a wall, my Toe kick and crown appears at a wrong place. It seems to be mirrored, or something like that. Their Item Name Pop-up below the drawing. I maked them with Extruded - Extruded MoldingsFEATURE REQUEST: Title Block Mass Update
There are times that information about a job (held in Project Properties and/or User Defined Project Properties) changes once we've begun drafting, and currently we have to go through and touch dozens (or in some cases hundreds) of rooms in order to updateCabinet Numbers are Missing
So earlier today as I was working, I mustve clicked buttons or something and lost all my cabinet numbers and measurements on the 2d and 3d Drawings...I checked the layers and multiply other options and couldnt find where to turn them back on. Can someoneTitle Block Takes 15 minutes to Update
Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone know how to fix it? It takes ~14-15 minutes to update the title blocks in my Microvellum drawing. Any idea why it takes so long? It has a Status Bar filling up Slowly on screen that says ‘UPDATE DRAWING’FEATURE REQUEST - Ability to use CAD when Project/Library Setup Is Open
It would be great to have the ability to move around in the CAD space when the Project/Library Setup window is open. It would be very useful to measure when dealing with new hardware so we don't have to close and open repeatedly when measuring holes forFEATURE REQUEST: Add Section_Plane_Cut_X, Y, Z System Variables
There are many products in the library that need a different cut section location by default. One particular product would be a 2 Door 2 Drawer base. The current cut plane for a section is 1/4" less than the mid-point of the product's width (unless youFEATURE REQUEST: Auto-Window Selection
It would be great if more of the selection windows (a quick one that comes to mind is Redraw Selected Products) would automatically switch to a window selection if an item is not selected with the first click. Instead, for a window selection you haveImprovements to section hatching
I have a few ideas for improving the results of the 2D sections of products. 1. For materials in the Sheet Stock and Solid Stock Libraries, allow the setting of a scale for a Custom Hatch Name. 2. Allow the modification of the hatches assigned to the2D drawings for the shop and clients
Still in my first year with MV and everyday I am getting better with the program. I struggle with the 2D drawings though. I am able to use the MV features to actually draw them and what not but not sure on the layouts, formats, what details to highlight, etc. I would love to see what other users are doing for drawings that they present to clients and what they look like going to the shop. I don't plan on copying anyone just interested in seeing so maybe I can learn better.Hidden Wall Options
It would be nice to have the built-in option for a “Hidden Wall” drawing type for walls that are under a countertop or something where a solid drawing line is not desired. I built it into an existing wall on a job but it will not let me save it as a global change.product viewer
how can i move my product from product list to product viewer ?Solid Modelling Tools - Change Part Thickness
When creating an extruded product in Solid Modelling Tools, each extruded part is assigned a material with a specific thickness. Typically drawings are made before receiving the sheetgoods. We draw the parts with their nominal material thickness. After receiving the sheetgoods, we would calibrate the material to get the actual thickness. How do you change the material thickness of an extruded part? Simply modifying the section drawing does not work. An error message pops up saying that the modifiedNext Page
