• ability change the "room name" to "drawing name" in users interface in processing station window and part list review window

• Face6 Machining

  I have a tall cabinet with a division released to the shop.   There are programs created for the face 6 machining for the shelf standards on face 6.   I feel like there used to be a report that showed how to position the part and which program corresponded to which part. I cannot seem to find it.  This is not "face6 first".  just a single part...

• Machine Point Formula

  Im trying to place a formula inside the machine point. =IF(OR(Bay_Position>59,Bay_Position<68),3,3M) The syntax is correct as it will return 3, but does not like 3M. Is it not possible to mirror a machine point using a formula? Foundation Library 21

• Multi Pass Tools

• Adjusting Dowel Patterns for Ease of Construction

  I work at a midsize cabinet factory as an engineer. All of our millwork is custom- each piece is produced for the job it was drawn for, and we do only commercial jobs.  With the nature of our production process, because so many types of cabinets come

• FEATURE REQUEST: Allow "Associative Drawing Name" dwgs to work for HWR Arrays

  Most of the hardware I have implemented is through hardware arrays, so this option would really be beneficial for us.  It would allow us to use 1 drawing for several different hardware allocations.  The drawing library we maintain would be able to decrease

• FEATURE REQUEST - Hardware "Drill From Opposite Side" on BORE Token

  I do not see that the option exists to "Drill from Opposite Side" on hardware, but it would be very helpful for us if it did.  Since it is on other machine tokens, is it possible to add it to the hardware ones? Since this option doesn't exist, we are

• PLINE Machine Tokens

  Are machining tokens dynamic or static in nature?  For example, I am designing a product with a curved end panel.  Works great until I change the depth of the unit, then I lose most of my curve.  See attached images.  The before is correct at 24" Deep. 

• Construction holes machine token affects two edges at once

  Using Toolbox OEM 2022, I create a custom product and add CONST2 drilling machine token to several parts (stud-like pieces), and holes appear on both edges 1 and 2. I need the holes only on edge 2. Changing the machine point does not fix the issue, and

• FEATURE 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.

• Need to chamfer an edge of a panel

  This is just for drawing purposes, but i need an edge to be chamfered.  I have attempted to use the CHAMFER and MITER machine tokens.  MITER works, but i dont want a point.  Chamfer seems to ONLY affect corners on the 5/6 faces.  And i will admit to having

• Display Scaling for High Resolution (4K) Laptop Monitor

  I recently obtained a new laptop that has a 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160) display. I am having trouble getting Microvellum Toolbox to display correctly with Windows 10 High-DPI scaling. The Windows 10 recommended scaling setting is 250%, which is ridiculous because everything ends up so large, there is hardly any screen real estate. I have tried setting the scaling to various settings, but the only two that seem manageable are 175% and 200%. However, at those settings, Microvellum Toolbox is a bit of a

• FEATURE REQUEST: User-Defined Functions

• Formula or function to find longest panel size for a given material
