FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to show Render Material Texture in Composite Nest
Now that Microvellum is working on applying Render Materials to Database Materials, I would like the ability to show the face-up side of the material on the Composite Nest to help the Engineer differentiate the materials in the nest. If the material isFEATURE REQUEST: Add Grain Direction Marker to Composite Nests for Grained Materials
I know that Microvellum is currently working on being able to add annotations to the Composite Nests, which will be a welcome addition. However, it would be great if Microvellum added the ability to automatically add a Grain Direction Marker to the CompositeFEATURE REQUEST - Update Work Order Summary - Sheet Stock Quantity after Manually Adjusting Nests Removes Sheets
When I make manual changes to the nests in the Composite Drawing, I would like the Sheet Stock Quantity on the Work Order Summary to update to adjust to match the quantity in the drawing. I have run into many times that after I adjust the nests in a CompositeMV Walls
would be nice to have a simple feature where we can recessed a rectangle into wall like a die wall hole but only recessed for shaving cabinets.Hinge Cup Location
Hello all, We are trying to have our doors land at 1.5mm (1/16") from the edge of the door where the hinges are located. When mounting the door, we are trying to have the door at exactly at 1.5" away from the cabinet edge. We set up our hinge cup distanceHandles moving on redraw
Cabinets are initialy correct when drawn in a job, after multiple products have been added to the room the handles are Wrong....... cab on the right is correct, even if its redrawn multiple times, it stays correct, then at some point of the job when multipleHow to Stop Tool Routing Override from Overriding the Dado Tool
We have different tools we use for different materials / applications. I cannot seem to get microvellum to use the proper tools for what we need. We have a tool we use for all our dados. That is set in the global variables. Our default cutting tool isUnified Work order on Server slow
My work orders process to the server promptly. However, if I reprocess a nest or open the label program, I get a length delay. 1 to 2 minutes. These workorders are smaller containg usually 1 room. Any Ideas what could cause this??End of run condition/rule
Does MV have a method for tracking if a cabinet is at the end of a run? I would want to change our panel reveal on the outer side of a cabinet Ex: - Standard reveal applied to all cabinets - If end of run cabinet > the outside (left or right) would haveneed help with some dowels
i keep getting an extra dowl when i try to dowel a drawer front to a drawer box side, how do i get the machining to only look ate the height of the box side and not the drawer frontFEATURE REQUEST: Edit Design Data @ Product list

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 loadedForcing 6th Face operations even when theres a through bore
We have modified all of our machining so we never need 6th face operations. The only time we will need it is when there is line bore on both sides with different patterns. However, on every nest, there are 6th face ops. We use a T+G (or lock dado constructionRunning out of material
New and still learning Toolbox. I am making solid modeled die walls, using sheet material that I copied to project level and modified. When I process the work order, Toolbox is telling me that it couldn't process those parts because they are out of stockShelf hole setback?
I cant seem to get my setback from the front edge of my cabinets to 37mm no matter what i try. Any suggestions?Object reference not set to an instance of an object?
Anyone know how to get rid of this? Just started popping up and when I hit OK. It locks up MV.Cut Parts - Par 1 Par 2 Par 3
How would I use these "Par 1, 2, 3"? I can't find any articles over it. We have a custom made library and I notice the foundation library uses these functions for like grain direction blocks, drawers, etc. I just can't get it to pull in our own blocksFeature Request: Adding Parts that were Non Optimized to nest in Composite
It would be awesome to have a list of parts that are not Optimized or that MV can't figure out how to put on a sheet. So we can add these manually. We have the option to add sheets which is awesome and we can add new parts but not existing parts thatAdding Cut Parts to their own individual nested Blank
I am quite new to the more custom side of Microvellum, mostly just using standard library products and using the modifications that my company has set up, so apologies if the title isnt clear, or even leading to the correct topic. My question for youCombine Face 5 and Face 6 Machining
Hello, We would like to eliminate the need to flip parts/sheets by combining face 5 and face 6 machining when a thru cut exists. Is this possible? For example, a thick back with mounting screw thru holes (face 5) and a manually placed wire channel (faceHow I can save a part that I create as a subassembly?
Will the Solid Modeling module help me?
We have started to produce products with curved tops and fronts (see pic). I have been utilizing the Bend token to get the front panel and the Draw Part In 2D command to do the tops. However, I can't get the necessary associated machining to work on thoseTool File Tool Tool List Improvement Feature Request
We need some organizational tools in the Tool File Tool List to help organize and arrange the tools in a meaningful way to allow the user to quickly find the required tool. It is currently EXTREMELY difficult to train a new Engineer how to find and differentiateSHELF Machining Token
Can someone explain how Parameter 7 of the SHELF token is meant to work? The following is a snippet from the Knowledge Base post on the topic https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/machine-tokens#SHELF Parameter 7 – Shelf Hole Spacingpocket routes
hi, just curious how, or if i can do this. when selecting a pocket route for a small hole on 25mm material, the tool plunges full depth before starting the pocket, can i make it so the tool path arcs as it routes. (in order to avoid plunging)BSB Trial Time
Curios if anyone hasn't switched over to BSB yet and has the same pending conversion expiration date as we do? We have been too busy to slow down production and switch over to BSB as we are all accustom to OEM. Looking back through it looked like we hadCustom Door Style
I’m hoping someone can give me some advice on setting up a custom door style. I have some experience tweaking the parameters in the door workbook to get what I’ve needed in the past, but I’m struggling at the moment. I have a project coming up that callsFEATURE 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 theFEATURE REQUEST - Clean Out Corners of Notch
It would be great if the machine tokens "3 Sided Notch" and "Square Corner Notch" had options to clean out the corners. This can be done with a Polyline but these machine tokens are far quicker to add than setting up a parametric polyline.FEATURE REQUEST: Globally Controlled Subassemblies
Would it be possible to have subassembly selection controlled thru the globals, the same way "2D Instructions" is controlled?BSB Rendering Problem
Hi everyone I found a problem in my Toolbox BSB that I can not figure it out. when there are several machinery on a part the system can not render it properly. So in my project I had to switch to OEM to create my part in Draw Part In 2D and see the resultCalculator

ok I've been working on setting up a wizard with formula driven materials. everything seems to be working but seems strange that the material still shows in the OG formula output in the material Database name. the material name in the material info is1 Drawer Cabinet - Front marked as "Door" or "Panel", not "Drawer" (grain direction issue)
I have been reviewing my doors and drawer fronts. All 1 Drawer cabinets, the fronts are hardcoded as a Bottom Drawer Front. This is an issue for ordering 5-piece fronts since this looks more like a door front, and we would want the panel grain to runFoundation Library - Dowel Spacing
Is there a setting in the foundation library like the legacy (component) library to switch from small dowel spacing to large dowel spacing. As currently in our legacy library we use 96mm dowel spacing on our base cabinets and 64mm spacing on our upperWork Orders Summary with Face Frame cabinets
