Shelves Holes
Hi, I would like to do the regular linebore depth on the left cabinet side and all through the right side. Do we have somewhere an option for doing that? Thank you in advance for your answers.FEATURE REQUEST: Flatshot Parameter Descriptions
For most 2D drawing tokens (DRAWLINE, DRAWTEXT, DRAWRECTANGLE) the parameters in Part Properties specify what goes in each field (Start X, End X, [Text Style]|[Text Alignment], etc). It would be helpful to see the same for the FLATSHOT metafile token.Material shown in prompts doesn't match project materials
I'm seeing ".75 finished Plywood" when I view material at the prompt level. This is what the material is named by default but has been renamed with find & replace in the project materials. It's not consistent because all the plywood shown in the projectFEATURE REQUEST: Sort Materials After Project Find & Replace
Currently (20.1 v1012) using the Project Wizard's Find & Replace to rename project inventory creates an unsorted list of materials.

Running into issues when it comes to thru hole drilling while using the Solid Model Analyzer. When a thru hole is located inside a dado, it causes the drilling operation to happen from the opposite side causing a two step machining process.

Based on the stock setup from MV we are using the Blum 120 hinges for our default hinge. Under normal circumstances of ¾ Melamine and 13/16 Laminate finished end panels this works. 3/4 Melamine – 1/16 reveal – 17.46 Overlay 13/16 LaminateAdjusting Hardware Machining
I need to increase the depth of my boring for hinge plates. We are right at the cusp of the minimum depth and I am having issues. The only place I was able to locate a reference to this machining was on the hardware itself. I have changed my boring depth parameter, but to no avail. Am I not looking in the correct location? Thanks TRPProblem of Vlookup Formula
Hi, I am messing around with adding custom pulls and trying to figure out location of it. Can't see why the Vlookup formula doesn't return the right value(-0.01). =(INDIRECT(PARENTNAME("Door_Thickness"))*-1)-VLOOKUP(Pull_Name_Door,G!LookUpTablePullType,9,FALSE)Custom size pulls
Having a problem creating custom size pulls. I used to use Autosize pulls option however that is not working. Need the Hole Distance to be 13.9687.QUESTION - Is there a way to add new Room Components and Appliances to the library?
I made changes to a room component and wanted to save it up, but I don't see an option to under Room Components. If I click to "Save Product to Library", I don't see that it lets me save it in the Room Components stuff. I tried saving it as a regular product, but it doesn't show up in the "Draw" list. I tried to make a new sub inside of a Room Component, but the new sub doesn't show up in the list of subs, either. Is there any way to make this work, currently?Info on PLINE Offset function that Mimics AutoCAD "OFFSET" Command (OFFSETPOLYLINE)
***See comments for link to help document from MV. At TechCon a couple years ago, I remember voting for a true PLINE offset option that would not simply "shift" the pline over by a given amount in X,Y,Z, but instead truly offset the entire PLINE by aManaging the Microvellum Parts and Machine Token Clipboards
Wondering if people are using the spreadsheets to manage the Clipboard Content. We can create categories in the interface but by default all the new information goes to the bottom of the category. Are people having luck managing/sorting tokens and parts with he spreadsheet in the Microvellum data?Changing Grain in Solid Model Tools/Extruded Product Builder/Smart Layers
I've been building a simple slatted canopy that gets dowels machined into it to accept the cross members and the grain for those slats are horizontal. I've been searching up and down and don't see an option to set the grain in the model so I have been assigning the grain (force width) manually in the Parts Properties. There are a total of 33 slats in the two models so I'm wondering if there is a better way than going through each slat and changing the grain direction. If there isn't already, that'dCombining Projects Nests Parts (Doors) on Top of Each Other; Being able to add Project Name in Grain Identifier prompt possible solution?
When combining several projects together the doors get placed on top of each other. I think this has to do with the grain identifier number which uses the item number as a unique code. However, when running several projects together that have the same material and similar products it can very easily have the same sized products with the same unique number. One idea that I have is being able to add the project name in Grain Identifier prompt which would definitely make it unique, but I can't figureVector Location Formula Syntax
Hello, I am trying to modify a vector location formula and can't get the syntax correct. I have a custom countertop product that routes a scribe relief along the back edge of a 1-1/8 sub material. My problem is that this route remains constant no matter if finished right end or finished left end is selected the route continues to be +/- 0.25 the product length. I am trying to add IF statements for starting and ending the route 2 inches inside of the finished ends. The original formula: ="-.25;"&Panel_Width-Scribe_Width&";"&Scribe_Depth&"|0;"&Panel_Width-Scribe_Width&";"&Scribe_Depth&"|"&Panel_Length&";"&Panel_Width-Scribe_Width&";"&Scribe_Depth&"|"&Panel_Length+0.25&";"&Panel_Width-Scribe_Width&";"&Scribe_DepthDado machining token: Option to control direction of tongue routing
We are using thick backs with lock dados. The DADO machining tokens for the top, bottom, left and right have a parameter(9) named Tongue Tool Number. This allows a tool to be assigned to the routings that produce the tongue. Unfortunately, the resulting routings have left hand tool compensation and there is no option to change them to right hand compensation. The primary reason why this would be useful is dimensional accuracy. The back has the best chance of matching the size of the top and bottomPlease allow all windows in microvellum to be maximized

Hi, I have a customer that wants to change all shelves from 19mm melamine to 16mm melamine. Is there an easy way to do this across multiple spec groups or do I have to open each material file and change it individually? Thanks, Pete.Processing station individual codes for duplicate runs
In creating a nest for a job I noticed that if there are identical runs the processing station just creates one code and requests it to be run multiple times on the report. Is there a setting where I can get it to create unique g-code for each run. i am concerned that a less experienced CNC operator will miss the reference to the quantity and only run the program once. Thanks, Pete.machining token in visualisation
I think it would be a great addition if the part visualisation in the origin section could show the machinig token. We would be able to see how the different origins and point affect our machining in real time. like in the image attached,. this is a corner base shelf but it does not show the corner notch.Is anyone else having problems where toolbox freezes when using SMA?
Is anyone else having problems where toolbox freezes when using SMA? We have found that when we are trying the use SMA (solid model analyzer) to analyze 3D parts that toolbox will freeze if the parts are not drawn exactly to a 1/16 or possibly a 1/32 of an inch. If the parts are .04015 or any other odd decimal point it seems like the program has issues analyzing and creating the 3D product. What’s odd is that the product is created in the product list and all the parts are there. But ifGrass Dynapro
Just wondering if anyone uses Grass Dynapro 16's and Grass Dynapro 19's. If so, is there a drw guide in MV that works, or did you add the Grass Dynapro 19. We found we can interchange Blum Tandem Undermount with Grass Dynapro 16's, but the Dynapro 19's are different and use a different formula for sizing the drawer box. Any helpful input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.Hardware to work like the other materials (sheets & Solid)
Why do we need to duplicate hardware names adding the negative symbol to not have it load in the work order? Why doesn't the Hardware file work like the rest of the Cutparts file? Sure would mark setting up new hardware faster (two times faster) ;). Maintaining the different hardware is also an issue, when a token change is made in one hardware its not always that the change gets made in the matching one (this is a real pain). Or 'em I doing it wrong? Right now we set a hardware and copy it andPart Properties Visualization Interface

Hello, Currently To Edit a material I create a copy of the " Green Dot" to Project Level, make my changes and apply to corresponding pointers. Actually replace the Green Dot Material with new Black Dot material. I would like to not have to make a copy every time I need to add/remove a new sheet size. Edit Material is not an option on the Green materials. Sometimes, for whatever reason the Edit Multiple Materials screen open I changes to "Green" material are possible. Problem is I cannot reproduceHow to Add Dowells to EPB Parts?
I couldn't get a response direct from MV so if anyone can help, I'm trying to create a simple slatted canopy to be fastened by dowels and all cut and machined by CNC and horizontal boring machine. I can create the wall but the none of the options for adding dowels seems to be functioning. Can anyone tell me how to add dowels and have them associate to the adjacent member (just like a stretcher in a cabinet carcass)?Need to Fix Blind Corner Cabinets Door Size and Location (Hinge is in the not located properly in 3D)

Looking at the Corner Cabinets backs is there an easy way to modify them to have the backs be 1/2"? or to make the backs have an option to switch from thick to regular? we typically construct all our cabinets this way, i understand the need to have thicker backs when having an interior component like adjustable shelves but with having just a Lazy Susan we do not need the thicker back option. i had changed everything by trial and error to modify the cabinet to need what we want but it would be better
