Component Cabinet Library vs Foundation Library Positives and Negatives
Looking for some feedback on the positives and negatives when changing from the component cabinet library to the foundation library. One of my main concerns is that in the foundation library the carcass parts are no longer in a subassembly and are justRunning out of material
New and still learning Toolbox. I am making solid modeled die walls, using sheet material that I copied to project level and modified. When I process the work order, Toolbox is telling me that it couldn't process those parts because they are out of stockNesting Parts with Consistent Veneer "Flame" Direction
When nesting on veneered sheet goods cabinet parts, especially sides, the mirrored components will often not have a consistent orientation. This can result in one side being "flame" up and the opposite side being "flame" down. Having a way to designateShelf hole setback?
I cant seem to get my setback from the front edge of my cabinets to 37mm no matter what i try. Any suggestions?Object reference not set to an instance of an object?
Anyone know how to get rid of this? Just started popping up and when I hit OK. It locks up MV.Base Cabinets - Top Cutout with Full Top
We have been looking at switching over to the Foundation library from the Component Library. One thing I seem to be missing is the ability to add cutouts to the top of base cabinets when using a full top. This is our preferred assembly method. I haveFEATURE REQUEST: Add a Fields for ERP Project # and Work Order # to the MicrovellumWorkOrder.sdf for Integration with Material Handling Systems
Currently Microvellum creates a compact database containing all the Work Order information when you create a Microvellum Work Order named "MicrovellumWorkOrder.sdf" in each Work Order folder. During this process, I would like the ability to add an ERPCut Parts - Par 1 Par 2 Par 3
How would I use these "Par 1, 2, 3"? I can't find any articles over it. We have a custom made library and I notice the foundation library uses these functions for like grain direction blocks, drawers, etc. I just can't get it to pull in our own blocksFeature Request: Adding Parts that were Non Optimized to nest in Composite
It would be awesome to have a list of parts that are not Optimized or that MV can't figure out how to put on a sheet. So we can add these manually. We have the option to add sheets which is awesome and we can add new parts but not existing parts thatBlind Corner Drilling Issue with Corner Filler
I've come across an issue with the blind corner cabinet. When set to a *Right Blind Corner with a blind facia and corner filler added, the machining only panel machine token for screws is adding edge drilling to the corner filler. (*Issue does not occurAdding Cut Parts to their own individual nested Blank
I am quite new to the more custom side of Microvellum, mostly just using standard library products and using the modifications that my company has set up, so apologies if the title isnt clear, or even leading to the correct topic. My question for youCombine Face 5 and Face 6 Machining
Hello, We would like to eliminate the need to flip parts/sheets by combining face 5 and face 6 machining when a thru cut exists. Is this possible? For example, a thick back with mounting screw thru holes (face 5) and a manually placed wire channel (faceFactory Workbook Changes Overwritten
Anyone know why this would happen occasionally? Today I made a change to the factory workbook file to add a drawer slide. The change seemed to be good to go, but a few hours later I noticed the drawer slide had vanished. In the factory database, all theADA Sink Angled Frame - "Applied Panels"
Has anyone made a case ticket to get the "Applied Ends" option fixed in the ADA Sink Angled Frame product? In the work book there are prompts available, except they are currently hidden (6), but still when visible and "checked", there's a bug.How I can save a part that I create as a subassembly?
Will the Solid Modeling module help me?
We have started to produce products with curved tops and fronts (see pic). I have been utilizing the Bend token to get the front panel and the Draw Part In 2D command to do the tops. However, I can't get the necessary associated machining to work on thoseFEATURE REQUEST - Separator Bar in Prompts/Wizard
We would like it if there were an option to add separator bars (or something similar) in Product Prompts and Wizard interfaces. This would help us group by categories within a tab. Currently, we use colors, which work ok, but we would prefer colors to reference the "type" of variable (green for "drives cost", red for "hardware related", blue for "banding", or some scheme like that) and have the separators to define the groupings. Not a priority request, necessarily, but could be a nice feature.Tool File Tool Tool List Improvement Feature Request
We need some organizational tools in the Tool File Tool List to help organize and arrange the tools in a meaningful way to allow the user to quickly find the required tool. It is currently EXTREMELY difficult to train a new Engineer how to find and differentiateSHELF Machining Token
Can someone explain how Parameter 7 of the SHELF token is meant to work? The following is a snippet from the Knowledge Base post on the topic https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/machine-tokens#SHELF Parameter 7 – Shelf Hole Spacingpocket routes
hi, just curious how, or if i can do this. when selecting a pocket route for a small hole on 25mm material, the tool plunges full depth before starting the pocket, can i make it so the tool path arcs as it routes. (in order to avoid plunging)Institutional Hinges for 3/4 panels and doors
Hello Team, I think it would be very beneficial for many shops to have institutional hinges on the library that works correctly for 3/4" thick cabinet panels as well as 3/4" thick doors. the two institutional hinges currently available are: Rockford 376BSB Trial Time
Curios if anyone hasn't switched over to BSB yet and has the same pending conversion expiration date as we do? We have been too busy to slow down production and switch over to BSB as we are all accustom to OEM. Looking back through it looked like we hadQuestion: Solid Model Analyzing Non Planar Surfaces
What is everyone's preferred method to model and get non planar surfaces to SMA so that you can cut the product on the CNC. I currently have a desk job that has some curves around curves that are Solid Surface. I want to be able to output the parts toCustom Door Style
I’m hoping someone can give me some advice on setting up a custom door style. I have some experience tweaking the parameters in the door workbook to get what I’ve needed in the past, but I’m struggling at the moment.

I would like for the optimizer to adjust the spacing between parts based on the machining or border tool defined for the material. I think that this could be accomplished with an additional setting in the Material Code for adding a specific bit for theFEATURE REQUEST - SMA to have Product Name Prompt
It would great if after running SMA on a product there was a prompt already setup to name that product. This would save time of adding your own or opening up Overdrive Pro renaming the new product then exiting.FEATURE REQUEST - Clean Out Corners of Notch
It would be great if the machine tokens "3 Sided Notch" and "Square Corner Notch" had options to clean out the corners. This can be done with a Polyline but these machine tokens are far quicker to add than setting up a parametric polyline.FEATURE REQUEST: Globally Controlled Subassemblies
Would it be possible to have subassembly selection controlled thru the globals, the same way "2D Instructions" is controlled?Beaded Face Frame
Hello, When I have a beaded face frame project, I need to move back 1/8" the hardware of doors and drawers (hinges and slides) so the face of the door/drawer front sits 1/8" back from the face of the face frame. The way I'm doing it now, I cheat the materialBSB Rendering Problem
Hi everyone I found a problem in my Toolbox BSB that I can not figure it out. when there are several machinery on a part the system can not render it properly. So in my project I had to switch to OEM to create my part in Draw Part In 2D and see the resultFEATURE REQUEST - Workbook Designer Column Descriptions
It would be great if there was somewhere inside of Workbook Designer where it would display the name and description of what each column in each workbook is. Even if this just had to be a help button of some sort that would trigger a pop-up with thisSlide Machining For Drawer Box Member
We noticed that the default way MV handles drawer box slide machining includes only the carcass but not the drawer box machining side, for us it is no big deal to do the face 6 flip so that is what we are used to doing. We ended up modifying the woodFace Framed Cabinets
