I have a piece of hardware that I can add to a product using the hardware parts tab, and it displays and machines properly. Using the same piece of hardware in the HWR token I get nothing. What am I doing wrong?Stretcher Hole Spacing
Where is the Hole spacing controlled?Import Specification Group From Another Project - Doesn't bring Project Level Materials
The Import Specification Group From Another Project, doesn't bring Project Level Materials and it should be an option. What if the Spec Group your importing has Project Level Materials assigned within it and you try to Import it into another project?FEATURE REQUEST: User-Defined Functions
Please let me know if this ability already exists - I would love to be able to create my own user-defined functions that could then be used throughout MV's many workbooks. MV has GETBULGE, GETARCRADIUS, etc. that make formulas much simpler, and I'd likeFace Frame Cabinet Divisions
Hello, When I have an intermediate stile with doble partition behind on a face frame cabinet, all the machining is on the right side but when I process it all the machining is on Face 6, I am guessing because the Top Dado and Bottom Dado. Is there a wayHow to add grain direction to formula generated material?
Hello, can somebody please tell me if it's possible to add grain direction to a formula generated material. We are using the 5 pieces door and when I nest them sometimes it changes the direction of the grain. We want to keep the grain along the lengthPocket route direction
When adding a pocket route token to a piece of hardware, is there a direction control? on the composite my routs are up cutting.LookUpTables tab in the material (Cutparts) file??
Does any one know how to access the lookup tables tab of the material file form the UI? ThxNew Subassembly
New question, I've made a new lock subassembly and would like to overwrite the existing on all drawer boxes through out the library. How would I go about it? Ideas?how to change location of product number
how do i change the location of the product number (100.09) for the toe base to go underneath the base cabinet?Locks
I have a lock prompt in the Subassembly page within the product prompts. How would I go about relocating that prompt from the Subassembly main tab to the Main prompt page when a product is first inserted? I've tried it through Edit design data and it'sPocketing tool path offset adjustment?
Does anyone know how to adjust the path offset for pocket routes? It seems to calculate the concentric path based on the diameter of the bit, but sometime this leaves an island in the middle of the pocket area. I would love to be able to use a 1/2" bitFEATURE REQUEST: Allow a Single Product Prompt Image to Display for a Dropdown (ctrl type 5) Prompt
I know that if you save images with names that match the dropdown options, a different image can show up per selection, but can you have one image that displays for the question in general and not for each item in the list? I tried putting a jpg imageSingle 5 Piece Door with Multiple Panels
Just curious, does anybody know if there's an update on the Development of Single 5 Piece Doors with Multiple Panels? I know there is programming to be able to do a 5 piece door 2 panels wide x 2 panels high, however what I'm referring to would be somethingOEM Library Addition -- Man Door Products
I like the thought of having a set of products, subassemblies and reports to assist in the manufacture of man doors. This would be a great addition to OEM libraries. Some basic requirements we would like to see are: Cut listing cope and stick parts withBLUMOTIOM DRAWER BOX
has anyone made a blumotion wood drawer box (5/8 material) and saved to the blum drawer parameters for a project. i have adjusted the formulas for a single drawer and i need to save it to the project so all my drawers are built to those parameters.Hardware Scaling
Is there an easy way to make a 3d model and get it to scale properly? I was matching an existing drawing that used metric, but when I loaded the slides in, they were drawing mm's as inches. I checked Units and -dwgunits to make sure they matched. MeasuredRemoval of unused hardware
Is there an easy way to remove hardware from manufacturers that our company will never use without messing up the entire library and formulas? Our company has never used Grass or Hettich hinges, or Hettich and King drawer slides, yet these items takeRemove Hardware Array
Can anyone help me remove this hardware array from the globals? We will be using Lamello instead. Alternatively, if possible, please help me add Lamello. Otherwise, just removing this global would be fine—I just can't find the correct way to do it.Machining issues
We are doing a dado groove for backer board and drawer bottoms. The groove does just fine on all pieces EXCEPT the drawer sides. Do you have any suggestion where to look to fix this? Thanks in advance!MV Engineer needed - Central Indiana

In the Workbook Designer under 'Edit' you can find Stored Formulas which allows you to make a formula and give it a name. How is this used? Can you make a formula to perform a common calculation you will need, and it will take different inputs based onFixed panel not working
Hi. Having updated to the latest library edition, I know see the fixed panel option to the cabinet face options. Looking back on release notes, this was implemented at 24.0823 and should have options for keku's etc. but when selected, it does nothing.Safe Z
How do we prevent this bit from traveling so close to the board? It must be a setting that we just cannot find, thanks in advance. I posted this in the FB group and got a great answer but it only worked for AFTER the bit went to 0,0 position. How do weData Link to Excel Spreadsheet
Has anyone linked a AutoCAD Table to a Excel Spreadsheet using the Data Link command? I tried but I get an error message saying I do not have Excel installed. I do have Excel installed.

The Hardware Machine Token's only allow to add face machining to parts. Can some more tokens be added in the future to do edge machining on parts. Our new dowel machine can also do some horizontal routing and I would like to be able to put the machiningScaling / Units Question:
This is a little convoluted, but I'll do my best to explain We've been using an older Metric Component Library (v043.2) that I've recently modified to accommodate the LockDowel system. To accomplish that, I imported a newer Metric Component Library (v50.7)Blind Corner Hinge
How do I go about modifying the Foundation Library Blind Corner cabinet to use a Blind Corner Hinge. The Foundation Library cabinet uses a standard hinge on a division but I want to use a proper blind corner hinge. The first picture I attached is howDOOR EDGE PROFILES
I'm setting up a project that calls for shaker style doors and i can't seem to find a global that will determine the stile and rail edge profiles. I have to change it for every cabinet. the wizard lets me choose a 5 piece door but no where does it letFace 6 Dado Route
When doing a dado route on face 6 (flip over) I'm sure Microvellum used to do a corner notch at same time using the same dado tool (see attached image). This sometimes helps if part is slightly out of alignment. Does anybody know if there is a settingDrawer Front Adusters
I was wondering if there are any tutorials or videos pertaining to or if others have handled this scenario to customize the drawer front adjuster locations. We, currently in a different library, have the locators set to be in the drawer face but the locationAdjustable Shelves
I'm wondering why the second shelf is not landing on a shelf pin.(see attached picture) Cabinet one has two adj. shelves with 3 holes each. Cabinet 2 has continuous holes, the bottom shelf lands on a shelf pin, but the second(top) shelf does not.

I want to fillet the corners on my table top with a 3" radius and I need to oversize the part for a clean edge. Is there some way to create a phantom part or edge or something? How do I handle this when I have machining on both face 5 and 6?Can you show columns A thru P in Database Explorer?
I'm trying to effect a change for the include routes in borders option by inserting a formula in the J Column of all my cut parts. When effecting mass changes, I generally use Database Explorer and then Library Designer, but I have tried numerous thingsMATERIAL THCKNESS AND MACHINING UPDATE
I have a open base cabinet that I inserted a pigeon hole sub assembly. The material was spec'd at .75 melamine. The material we got came in at .78 so I created a sheet size for that and changed the material in the spreadsheet. When I did that and redrewClean up Report List
Is there a way to clean up the report list without deleting reports. We only use a few reports and would like only those to show up for our engineers to use. Report list shown below that I would like to clean up.Coat Rod Linear Footage
