Looking for Server Recommendations and Real-World Performance Feedback from Larger Microvellum Users
Hi everyone, We're currently reviewing our Microvellum SQL Server infrastructure and would really appreciate hearing what other users are running, especially those with larger Foundation Libraries and Work Order databases. Our current server specificationsUpdate Hardware Pricing Through Export Import
Does anybody know if it is possible to export out the hardware table, make changes to pricing only, then import back with latest prices? Changes made to Workbook H, on HardwareLibary tab doesn't hold.Occasional Weirdness When Nesting
Once in a while nested parts don't come out exactly as expected. Simple example: (Note the tool path reversal on the 4-sided cutout) I'm not aware of a Processing Station setting (Microvellum Nesting Optimizer) that would affect this, but to be honest,FEATURE REQUEST: Create a 4-sided cutout machine token with the option of radiused corners
This machine token would get so much use I believe, if we could do away with the bulge list for a simple 4 sided cutout it would allow a simple parametric machine operation rather than quite a long vector driven formula.Tool Files and Processing stations
If i delete the tool files from one processing station that uses the same tools in another processing station with it delete the tool file from both?Gap at thick back global variable
we are having an issue with our lock dado at thick back construction and would like to increase the shoulder at back to allow the tongue to sit in more. i found this variable and can control the tongue portionbut i cannot seem to change the shoulder evenEdgeband Thickness
We use 0 thickness for our edging and premill the edging thickness at the machine. Can we fix the edging thickness to accept 0 for the thickness. Right now I type in 0.000, and you would think that would be the same as 0, but it isn't. If I don't, getHardcode drawer bottoms to grain the length
How do i brute force or hard code the drawer bottoms to have graining run along the length of the drawer box bottoms please? @Lenny Scianna @Latisha Dauby We never run it the other way and this is now the only hold up to me beingDado Stop Gap setting in Solid Modeling Tools
The documentation says: Dado Stop Gap – This amount adds a gap to the front or back of the dado. The problem is when you have a vertical entity (a stud) which has a rib that runs horizontal midway through the vertical, the Dado Stop Gap setting is affectingINNERGY peAk Classroom Training: Microvellum Subassemblies
Hello MV Community! I'm running an upcoming peAk classroom training and wanted to get it on your radar. We're covering everything subassemblies, top to bottom. Subassemblies are core to how Microvellum works, and the better you understand how the librariesSolid Modeling Tools - Can't move joints
We're trying to test out solid modeling tools/extruded product tool for the first time, but I'm running into a major issue while doing so. For some reason, the insert joint and move joint tools aren't doing anything in the solid modeling editor. TheyIssue: Product Deletion from Model Space Does Not Remove Product from Project (BSB 26.0527)
We have identified what appears to be an issue in Microvellum BSB version 26.0527. When a product is deleted from Model Space while the Product Viewer is open, only the product geometry is removed from the drawing. The product itself remains in the projectShaped Part Edging
Can we have the line on the shaped part bolder than the non-edged lines. Currently it is bolder but not by much and when the label is printed on the CNC it almost looks the same especially if there are tenons on the ends.Nesting 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 designateOVOO Panel Connectors and Other Options in MIcrovellum
I am looking into "out of the box" panel connector options for Microvellum. We are Build 24.1.1030.641. OVOO looks like a nice option. Has anyone programmed for these or have a link to instructions; looks like we need to add a T-Slot tool. Any other recommendations?Cut Part Is Smaller than Model
We are having a problem where our nested part (and what gets cut at the machine) is smaller than the dimensions in Microvellum and what is shown the model. It is not on all parts but it seems to be on parts with multiple edges edgebanded. However it isn'tdrawer box
does anyone here use a 1/4" bottom dadoed in to the sides and sub-front with the back cut short (classic drawer box construction). for some reason i can't get those parameters right in the globals. does anyone have the settings?Microvellum Toolbar Resize Issue When on Right of the Screen
I like my Microvellum toolbar to be on the right of the screen. When MV starts with the toolbar located on the right, it can't be resized. You have to first swap it the left, then back to the right to get the resize to actually stick. Every time MV isAventos HKi - backside pocket cut, left side
Aventos HKi - The left side hardware pocket is pocketing on backside (red), but the cutout outline is on correct face. I'm not sure how - I've dug into the hardware tokens - there's only one vector as expected. The routes look correct in '2D Parts', but"Hinge" token parameters
Would someone please post an example how they've set up the associative token "Hinge"?Spec Group Refresh at Report Generation
Is there a way to disable the spec group refresh when generating reports after a work order has been processed? My team and I regularly work in large jobs with 20+ spec groups and it takes an average of 97 seconds per report printed to refresh each specDrawer front WIDTHS using HORIZONTAL reveal calculations
I had a client come back and ask for routed finger pulls on doors and drawers, with 3/4" horizontal reveals. (Base_Top_Gap, Horizontal_Drawer_Gap and Horizontal_Door_Gap). I found that those settings gave me incorrect drawer front WIDTHS relative to theToe Kick Notches Left Side but not Right Side
Hello All, I've been back and forth trying to force this...but have not had any luck. I have selected the "Notch Ends To Floor and it does the left one only. As you can see from the attachments it looks like the "Machine Token" is there. Any suggestionsAnyway to do a non square polygon pockets
I'm working on a product, and I want to make pockets that look like this: The angles on the sides and the length and width of the part is controlled by prompts, so this needs to be parametric. I can make a pocket with a pline machine token, but I needAdding Subassembly Inserts Using Pick Corners
Does anyone actually use the "Pick Corners" feature, and does it actually work for them? Here's the documentation on it: https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/adding-subassembly-inserts-and-using-pick-corners#Adding_SubassemblyInserts_and_Using_Pick_CornersLast Toolbox OEM Build 25.1.0616.641
Hi guys, we are moving to the BSB asap but there are still a few project going on OEM and (of course) we've missed the downloading window (20/07) for the latest build (Build 25.1.0616.641). I've opened a ticket last Friday (18/07) on something that wasBlind Corner Overlay Hinges
Can we get these blind corner overlay hinges added to the blind corner productInvisible Fasteners
I changed my assembly from dado to "Invisible Fasteners" for the master 2 bay vertical and the division has the machining running X. Should it be in the YDrawer Face Identification
Was there an update that identifies a left or right drawer face on a 2 door 2 drawer cabinet. I remember something said about it at some point, but have not seen anything in the release notes. We are having issues identifying those faces if somethingSolid Wood Door - Perfect Grain Issue Name Error
I am having an issue with graining with the solid wood door subassembly. This works fine with Slab doors. I am using a NON modified subassembly, this is a template level version. I am on library 26.0327 so the newest one. There is a prompt for Full_Width_DrawerEasier method of assigning 3D Hardware blocks
It would be great to have a file location browse button for assigning 3D and 2D blocks to hardware, so you could just select the block you want to assign to your hardware instead of having to type out the file location by hand.Toe Kick Notch Relief
Right now, the Toe Kick Notch Relief Left and Toe Kick Notch Relief Right do not look to see if you are adding a FE. If you are adding a FE, you would not want this extra cut. Please update the formula to look at the FEs.Feature Request: Allow different panel size for FACE5 and Face 6 programs in CutParts worksheet
Often the part program sizes between FACE5 and FACE6 are different. For example a FACE5 program might do part formatting on the raw board size (i.e. 1004x604x25mm), then the FACE6 program size (i.e. 1000x600x25mm) needs to be smaller than the FACE5 program.Factory 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 theIntegrated Post Processor Biesse rover A FT

Hi all, we are working on a project with splayed doors, the top of door has a bevel instead of a handle. As a consequence we need to have rails behind each front. Is there an option for turning that on as a global? Thanks.Errors occuring when trying to run a report
I am trying to run a report, and I get this error. Any idea on how to fix this?Custom Subassembly takes multiple attempts to update any prompts
Hi, Ive recently been working on a custom subassembly between projects, just a simple modified fixed shelf basically. For some reason all of a sudden now when i want to change any prompt in the subassembly, the first attempt will be completely undone,FEATURE REQUEST: Globally Controlled Subassemblies
Would it be possible to have subassembly selection controlled thru the globals, the same way "2D Instructions" is controlled?Saving custom subassemblies
