Rabbet at Top Nailers to Allow Cabinets to Hang
Hey there! I'm sharing a feature request for Microvellum version 24.1025 as we're gearing up for a deadline. I'm highlighting the need for more incorporated features in the library to avoid getting stuck in outdated versions for years. I'm starting to
FE Scribe Amount at Upper Cabinet
Hey there! I've noticed a limitation in our current finished end settings within the global variables of Microvellum. Currently, we only have one setting for all cabinet categories, but it would be beneficial to have separate settings for base, tall,
why in the WORLD are the ADA sink settings so screwed up?
Does anyone else see badly flawed logic in the way the ADA angled sink cabinet is set up? This formula right here for the top facia height does not yield ADA compliant settings: =IF(Height-i2u(27)>G!Default_Top_Drawer_Front_Height,G!Default_Top_Drawer_Front_Height,Height-i2u(27))+IF(Enclosed_bottom=1,Thickness_Bottom,0)

Amount subtracted for drawer box width

In my D! Table, there are Slab and Applied Molding Doors, seemingly available to pick as a door type in the product prompts of individual items. So my assumption is that I could add both of those door types to the Door Type Lookup Table at the top of
METABOX missing machining
Hello, We are at the latest FL library update, 24 1025, and seams that METABOX drawers are missing machining for the Front Fixing Bracket on the Drawer Face. Is this just us or MV forgot to do that? How do you add machining to that hardware piece because
SMA Secondary Router for Routes too Small for Primary SMA Tool
If SMA finds a route smaller than the diameter of the default SMA router in the toolfile it just tells you it can't find a suitable tool and drops creating those tokens for you. Would be nice if it prompted you and you could select another router in your
How to get a PLINE route to appear rounded at ends/corners to accurately resemble how it will look when coming off the router

Passing values to Subassemblies in Prompt Values
I have a question about using the Prompt Values column in the workbooks. This is admittedly a little weird, and situationally specific. We're trying to set up some controls on our locks where we can choose either keyed alike or not in our wizard. With
Import a XML file twice into existing project
We had a case where we accidently imported a XML file for a room into a project twice. Microvellum did not give an error that the room already existed, it just ran the import. The products were not added to the same room. The products were added to a
Unwanted Material Sheet Size in Work Order
Anyone have any ideas where this extra material sheet size might be coming from? After generating the work order, there's an extra 48x96 sheet size showing up for one of our formula generated materials, when there should only be 49x97 and 61x145. In the
Drawer Slide Holes into Drawer Side
Is there a way to link a LookUp Table to a machine token that relates to the pilot holes for the drawer slide into the drawer sides itself? Kinda the same way the holes are added into the side of the cabinet. Instead of having a whole bunch of custom
Machining For Associative Hardware Does Not Flip Correct From Face 5 to 6
Hello, I am working on making Z-clips with associative machining. Started with an existing library hinge plate. Problem is that placing the Z-clip on opposite face machining is incorrect. Is correct on Face5 but incorrect on Face. Hardware 3d block flips
Inner Drawer Subassembly Name Error Missing Prompt

Face Frame - Inset Door Hinge Machining
We do a lot of face frame cabinetry and I can't figure how to add the machining for the hinges on the products. Do you guys get machining on your cabinets for that? I am component library...
FEATURE REQUEST: Keyword (wildcard) Filter for Hardware Machining
Hardware (& other) machining allows you to filter by partname, currently, but the name has to be EXACT. We could GREATLY benefit from the added ability to filter by keyword ("door", "stud", "rail", etc.). For our product(s), having to match the exact
Rotate Subassemblies on the X and Y axes
We're considering using our standard hinged doors on an ADA angled frame so the custodian can easily retrieve the trash can behind the door instead of using a removable panel. It would save me a ton of time and headaches if it were possible to rotate

Bluebeam Plugins in AutoCAD OEM
I just thought I would post this topic to see if anyone else wished Bluebeam was able to plugin to the OEM version of AutoCAD. In the past I had the pleasure of using full AutoCAD which Bluebeam was able to add plugins to. This was great for making things
Shelf Oversizing
We're working on a floating shelf design where we want to maintain the original dimensions in the drawing. However, we need the actual cuts to be 10mm oversized on each edge, including a 45-degree miter, without reflecting this oversizing in the model.
Highlight Token Column in Edit Design Data Spreadsheet View
It might not be a game-changing thing, but I spend a lot of time in the spreadsheet view and having to hunt and peck through the columns to find the token I need to edit is a pain in the neck. I took a few seconds to add a "highlight" color the token columns in workbook designer. Now, every time I have to go and tweak some little thing on a part, I'm not plowing through a thousand search results or scrolling left and right - squinting to see if I can find the bore or whatever token I was looking

Feature Request: Cabinet Cutout Subassembly "Back Cutout"
Thank you for making the Cutouts subassembly to help with cutouts in a more automated way. Could you please consider adding Back Cutout as the final option? I shouldn't really say final since someone after me will probably request adding 'Door Cutout'
FEATURE REQUEST: Open Edit Design Data inside correct sub when clicking on hardware part
I like the feature that opens Edit Design Data inside the sub or nested sub that the cut part you clicked on belongs inside of. I wish the same thing worked on hardware. We have some subs that are HWR only, but if I click on a HWR part, it brings me into

Extending Toe Kick with Scribe/Filler
The Toe Kicks on all Base and Tall cabinets are stuck in the early 90s. I've made a few changes here to have them actually use the filler to extend. Our shop generally has the kick captured between the sides. When we have a wall scribe or cabinet filler,

Why Can't I Type MVPRODUCTPROMPTSMULTI Command?
Just like it says on the tin, if I type MVPRODUCTPROMPTSMULTI, I get MVPRODUCTPROMPTS, which is different and not what I typed in. This all seems to be despite the fact that MV clearly calls the prompt MVPRODUCTPROMPTSMULTI whenever you click the button
Bulge Angle Help

Can you differentiate between boring/drilling bits on anything other than diameter?
We're wanting to use a tapered 5mm through bit as opposed to a brad point for drilling our pulls and some other through holes. Is there a way to call this out in a token? Our knee jerk approach is assigning it a different diameter like 5.5mm, which should
