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.Any way to get Project Wizard Prompt into the server SQL File?
I have a custom prompt that doesn't affect anything, its mainly used for reports "Exterior Finish Type". The drafter can select something or custom write a new finish. I need to find a way to tell IT how to get that information from the SQL file, Projects->LinkID,INNERGY 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 libraries"F.D.M." (Formula Driven Material)
As an individual who prides himself on "Forward Thinking" and ascribes to "Technological Advancement", I wish to gain feedback from the community, regarding the current use and or consideration of implementing "FDM" into your "FL Library Build". I wouldLock out products to certain uses
Hello, Is there a way to lock product library's to certain users? Thank you, TomCreating a door type
So we are seeing an increase in larger doors, we use either aluminum or paper honey comb to keep weight down and stability high. We create a style and rail with the honey comb panel for the core and skin it with MDF xband before we post veneer or lam.Part properties calculator appears to be calculating wrong
you'll see my formula and the result at the top, but if you look at the bottom left where the helpful prompt is in green its calculating wrong, its minor but i have found myself using it.Empty Database/Library
I am looking to use Microvellum for some R&D and experiments and I would like to start with a completely empty database / library. ZERO products, subassemblies, profiles, dwgs, materials, prompts, textures, reports, etc, etc. Completely empty, blank absoluteAnyone Running on AutoCAD 2026 Yet ... and If so how?
Anyone Running on AutoCAD 2026 Yet ... and If so how? Also is AutoCAD 2026 11x faster as they are claiming?? We just are starting to replace and update PC and moving to Windows 11 and hopefully AutoCAD 2026 Fresh installs and nothing previously loadedPLINE Machine Token Incorrect Region
I'm using a PLINE machine token attached to a hardware item, with Option 2 set to 1 to region the cutout. The cutout is Face 5, but the Region cut is Face 6. Am I missing something?Work Order Summary Edgebanding Quantity
Is there a way to get the edge-banding quantity listed as the nearest whole feet on the work order summary? I have my report set up to give me a quantity with a 15% waste factor added, but I would like the total in whole feet. Ideally, I want this wholeBest Practice Reducing Vertices?
We just to moved to BSB. Trying out the simplify command. Using the "smoothen" option. How do you come up with parameters: max angle, max distance & minimum number of vertices? Trial and error?Blind Cabinet Corner Panel
The formula for the width of the Blind corner panel has been changed. Now we can no longer screw the "Blind Facia Panel" to the "Blind Panel" Is it possible to have it changed back to the original? I can't think of any reason why it is now like this.Under Panel Strip lighting needs fixing
It seems the Under Panel product now uses the "Undermount Strip Lighting Insert" sub-assembly (which is great!) However.. We've just found out the hard way that the Prompts "L! Strip Light Chase Width" and "L! Strip Light Chase Height" do absolutely nothingMake a New Library Product Category
I really want to add a couple new product category codes. Those category codes like "B=base" "T=tall".. I really want to have one for some other common products, so we can call on similar wiz/globals like "G!Base_Cabinet_Height" that are fundamental andConstruction method type doesn't seem to be working
Trying to turn off the construction method for tops only. Its not listening per unit. so tried it in the wizard for the project and that didnt turn it off either. I have a feeling its because i set them all up with a chamfered top and thats overriddenDatabase Management - Option to export and remove project base on the year projects are created.
I am not sure if it could be done through SQL Server Management Studio. But it will be really helpful it it could be done using the Database management in Microvellum. We are facing delays processing workorders and reports generation, our database sizeMoving Rear Linebore/Shelf Pin Holes to Face 6?
We use thick backs, fully captured, on our standard boxes and when processing, Microvellum will flip the back to machine their rabbets and also cut the part out without having to flip the piece on the CNC. When a rear linebore is added to a cabinet, however,Having GROOVE token only for machining
Has anyone figured out how to set up a saw so that the machining doesn't show-up in the model? We use aggregated to cut V-grooves on our flat bed router, I have them setup as saws since they're always in a strait line and usually are run after the nest.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 designateNew to Foundation Library
We have been using MV for many years but a legacy model due to heavy modification. The modifications have been extensive and done by different people (not all still work here). I am looking at streamlining the process by starting fresh with the FoundationGap 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 evenEasier 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.Face 6 programs/Lables
im having a bit of an issue, seems to only happen on corner units (that i can tell) I print lables for parts with face 6 drilling, as usual... so the cnc operator knows what parts need it and which axis to flip the part.... our issue is, the lable pictureFeature Request: Add Grain direction options To drawer bottoms
As per the title please add global grain options to the library for drawer bottoms, we run grain going left to right, and as per usual for us though, the default, is opposite front to back.FEATURE REQUEST: Adjust Part Spacing Based on Material and/or Tool
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 theLooking 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 specificationsOccasional 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,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?Edgeband 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

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 affectingSolid 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.OVOO 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', butNext Page
