Product not coming out in Product detail report
Hi All I have a product that when I process it ,the Image does not come out on the product detail report. I did it once, but can't figure it out now. I know it has something to do with defining a "prompt" in the spreadsheet. I looked through the knowledge
PRO TIP: Grain Arrow for Analyzed Parts
We all know how costly wrong grain directions can be. For out-of-the-box library products this isn't much of an issue. But if your shop is anything like ours, you might be spending a lot of your time creating products from analyzed solids. This is where

Best Practices: Material Thickness formulas
I've been thinking about this for a while. Perhaps it is somewhat irrelevant, since parts are drawn based on the material pointers used, but not all of the materials in a spec group are used in each cabinet. Sometimes I want to refer to a particular material
Best way to create this curved die wall?
Please forgive my ignorance. We only work in residential and never use die walls let alone curved die walls. I am trying to mimic the island end panel below but with a toe kick recess. I have drawn a polyline and used the extruded die wall w/ studs and
Hardware Pline depth value
Build 25.1.421.641 Foundation 25.0523 Can a hardware Pline route depth reference the part thickness in which it will attached to? Sometimes this hardware will attached to the back, side, bottom and/or top of a product. I want to create a pocket cut out

In the angled Sink Frame below I want to include the diagonal route in the border. This is happening on one biesse cnc & not the other. I thought it might be "include route in border" but this is checked on both machines. Anyone know where i control this?
Cabinet Mass/Weight and how it currently works
The last discussion about cabinet weight I found was from 3 years ago. While I can get information about the cabinets from MV and put it in a spreadsheet formula and get the material weight of a project, but that is tedious. Does anyone know what the
Drawer Box Locations
Hi All, Just wanted to see what/ how others are controlling wooden drawer box heights and locations IN A SIMPLE FAST AND INTUITIVE WAY!!!??? IE internal drawer unit within a robe or other cabinet. No drawer faces, but boxes with equal heights and spaces
"Stored Formulas" - How to Define
Earlier I had looked into stored formulas but was unsure of how to manipulate them. When it comes to redundant processing of tasks, say combinations of VLOOKUP(...MATCH(...)) or Excel-ized formulas of mathematics like the distance formula, it would save
Does changing reveals on doors change the space from door edge to center of hinge hole?
Recently I increased the reveals of doors in a cabinet to cabinet setting from 1/16" to 1/8". The program adjusted door sizes but didn't move the hinge cup bore. My question is, what is the standard practice? Moving the hinge cup bore, adjusting doors
Perfect Corners on MDF Doors

Access Panel option to radius just one side
I have been messing with the Access panel sub assembly for a while. Broken it and fixed it again, with help. One option I would like to see is the ability to have an access panel with the side against the back or side flat and the other side radiused
Grain direction alternating on the same sheet
It did the same thing on my doors and drawer fronts. I am fixing it manually, but would like to NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. Anyone know why it is doing this, and how to prevent it?
Extruded Wall Dadoes
The dado cut on angled walls is not staying square. It is nesting as an angle on the ends of the dado rebates which is to small for my router to follow and is throwing up an error on my cnc and it stops the sheet from cutting. I have nested a big job
Part Labels: Boring and banding shown on wrong edge
Occasionally (maybe 50% of the time?) we end up with banding call outs and edge boring labeled on the wrong edge. It seems to only manifest on "Drawer Divisions" but not reliably wrong. No clue how to track down what's causing this. The info shows correctly

I am adding a ramped routing for pocket screw pockets and am trying to figure out if there is a way to get a 3D AutoCad representation of the sloped rout. I am using a PLINE machine token with a starting Z value of 0 and an ending Z value of 7/16", this
Unmachinable Toggle-Bolt Cutouts after update 2D Machining
We cut our countertops to have dog-bone shaped cutouts on the underside to draw them together at seams using toggle bolts. The machining works fine from simply processing the products through a work order and running it at our CNC. However, if we find
CURVED PARTS
has anyone made curved parts like below and got the error when processing that they didn't fit on any sheet in that material when you know it will fit? i had the true shape nesting for a month and it still wouldn't nest parts like this correctly unless
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)
Moving 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,

Parts Immune To Associative Machining
This might be more of a thought exercise than useful, but is there a way to make a part or material type immune to associative machining? The example I'm thinking of is loose laminate parts that are being post-lam'd after assembly. The only reason they
Project Material Sync Type
what does this do exactly? I've always thought of projects as a snapshot of the template at the time of project creation. what materials are being sync'd? So i create a project and someone else changes the template materials and my project is change
