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

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.
