Panel edge bore and routing
Hi all, New user and first time poster so please be gentle š The first major hurdle I have become faced with, is how to get a hardware associative machine token to work on a panel edge, not face 5 or 6. To put in context, I'm embarking on implementingHelp....My doors are all coming in with a mid stile by default.
I'm hoping someone can help me locate the correct setting to fix this problem. All my 5-peice doors are coming in with a mid stile all of a sudden. I must have changed a setting somewhere without realizing it and I can't figure out how to change it back.Cabinet Hinges for Thick Doors
Hi, I am currently running into an issue, and I wasn't sure if anyone might have found a solution or not. I'm looking for a thick door hinge that would overlay a face frame 1-1/4", and have a 1/4" reveal on the hinge side. The door would need to be aFEATURE REQUEST: Indicator for when Select Entire Product is enabled
I think the title says it all. It would be great to know when "Select Entire Product" is enabled. Maybe a button that could be added to the Tool Strip.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.Ā This would help us group by categories within a tab.Ā 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.Ā Not a priority request, necessarily, but could be a nice feature.FEATURE REQUEST: Make it easy to turn off dimensions of all products in plan and elevation views
The dimensions are a disaster in Toolbox. Some of the options in the globals don't do what they're supposed to and under 2D Drawings in the prompts, some of those options don't function either.

I know there was a similar post back on the old MV help website that had quite a few followers, but I thought I'd bring it up again.Ā It would be really helpful to have a way for MV to automatically select the correct bit when a drill hole goes through the material vs when it doesn't without having to do a workaround.Ā Several users, including us here at Stevens, have been "tricking" the program using different diameters (8.0 vs 8.1) or similar, but it would be nice not to have to do that.Ā PleaseNeed Help/Ideas

I want to add machining tokens to all of these mitered parts to use with Lamello Divarios. The mitering will happen on our table saw and we will use the lamello manually for these parts, but the divario pieces/plugs I want to be automated to these parts.OFFAL - any one using this feature?
