FEATURE REQUEST: move 2D Tokens onto their own tab (not with Prompts)
I'm sure this would be a big undertaking, but it would be helpful if the 2D Drawing Tokens (and Virtual Routes, etc) were not on the "Prompts" tab. When moving prompts around, it can be cumbersome to make sure that you are not messing up any of the stuff
COMPOUND ARC
does anyone know a quick formula to find a compound arc laid flat? for instance, i have a piece of bending ply that is wrapped on a frame and the frame is angled on one end. i'm trying to find the arc for when the piece is laid flat. i know there's a
Route Array? Is it possible
Is there a way to route multiple holes in a pattern. I know I can drill multiple holes using the bore token, but can I do the same thing using the routedhole token? Some of our products have a through hole w/ known spacing, however when drilling, we get
Importing (Updated) subassembly from library?
Hi, I've edited a subassembly in a project: I've added some prompts & optional parts. I've saved it to the library, but now I'd like to use it in an existing project. But, how? I can't find a 'revert subassembly from library' button :( cheers
Find and Replace Refactoring
Is there anyway to run find and replace on a selection in the workbooks? Here's what I'm trying to do: I have some machining for in wall brackets on a floating shelf. I have the product set up with prompts so that I can enter the field measurements and
Product X and Y rotation
Currently there is just a single product rotation field. which rotates the product in the Z axis, but there isn't any rotation field for rotating the product in the X and Y axis. My company has been getting increasingly frequent jobs requiring rotated
T Slot bit for Lockdowel
I have a question about the T slot tool file for Lockdowels. I am still working in the 50_7 component library for now and we are wanting to have the option to use lockdowels on our cabinets. I have set up the invisible fasteners in the construction method
Where is Post Laminate Product Prompt?
We use Dado and Screw construction for most all our cabinets. This requires us to post laminate our cabinets when needing a finished end, along with some finished bottoms, tops and backs. I am unable to find the prompt that controls this setting in the
PLINEs with multiple offsets in Parameter 5 lose their pocketing ability
If you offset a PLINE only once (without curly brackets around it), the option for making it a pocket will hold. However, if you offset it multiple times (which requires curly brackets around each instance), the PLINE loses the pocket option you tried
How to track what exactly has been engineered inside of cells
To keep track of which cells have been edited, we change the fill color of the cell in Workbook Designer (each engineer has a specific color). That way, others know that cell has been engineered and who did it. When possible, we also copy the old formula
More available colors in the color column
Currently you can color your prompts with the color column, but the available colors are limited to the first 9. I would like to be able to use the full AutoCAD color catalog (Either the Index Color 1 - 255, or the RGB equivalent Color Books 1-255,1-255,1-255)

FEATURE REQUEST: Minor Change to Edit Design Data Column Header Format
When "Set Standard Column Widths" is applied, the "Part Name" through the "2D Elv Token" (& Par) columns all fit visibly on my screen. However, the "Base Point", "Machine Point", "& "X,Y,Z Rotation" columns take up a lot of unnecessary real estate on
Is there a way to disable or hide a specific type of Machine Token?
There are a few types of Machine Tokens that we'd like to disappear from the visible list, so that our users would never attempt to apply them to a part. This is typically because they either cause issues on our machines or in cutrite nesting software.
Is there a way to adjust the automated lead-in that MV creates on closed/internal routes to be a straight line instead of an arc?
I know for sure it is creating this arced lead-in on 4-sided cutouts, but it might also apply to PLINES, etc. Currently, CutRite is expecting a straight route as the 1st segment, and it won't accept an arc. It therefore adds a really small segment before

LOOKUPTABLE()
Could a function be added for returning the LookupTable a cell is currently in? Similar to COLUMN() and ROW(). An example use for this function would be in the VLOOKUP formula: VLOOKUP("Text",LOOKUPTABLE(),COLUMN(),FALSE).

Add a Lead In Option to Straight Line Route Token
The straight line routing machine token is a very easy to use, compared to the extra time it takes to write a PLINE. The only downfall with this token is the inability to add a lead in to the route. This is an issue because we like to try and avoid
Cutrite Parameters From MV

Display Scaling for High Resolution (4K) Laptop Monitor
I recently obtained a new laptop that has a 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160) display. I am having trouble getting Microvellum Toolbox to display correctly with Windows 10 High-DPI scaling. The Windows 10 recommended scaling setting is 250%, which is ridiculous because everything ends up so large, there is hardly any screen real estate. I have tried setting the scaling to various settings, but the only two that seem manageable are 175% and 200%. However, at those settings, Microvellum Toolbox is a bit of a
Part not showing correctly after a cut out

Is there a way to conditionally toggle a point on or off using an IF statement inside of a SINGLE vectors formula?
Is there a way to formulate a point to be either ON or OFF inside of a single VECTORS formula, using an IF statement, without needing any "|"& string stuff? In my testing so far, I was able to do so if I had 2 points and was only wanting to toggle between
Anyone create Tab Pulls – ex: Mockett DP3
Has anyone spent the time and effort to setup and create Tab Pulls for doors and drawers? I am talking about the full setup of 3D parts, 2d drawings, and machining as well. I created the hardware part so we can select it and it shows on the reports but I want to go further and get the drawings added and even do the machining as well. I made the 3d part and 2d section/elevation but I am finding there are rotation issues now since these are back mounted and directional essentially. So, the setup
One token for multiple parts
I am trying to have a token than can route multiple parts at once. Is it possible? Am i the only one who could use it? Because our countertops are made from multiple parts for visual use in our sections. Sometimes we need to put a sink hole in it and
Hardware Machine Tokens Not Applying to Drawer Box
We've been trying to pre-drill through the drawer subfront for our drawer pulls. The simplest solution I could think of was to add a -pull to the drawer box subassembly, link that to our default, and set the origin to match. While attempting to do this,
Missing Construction Line from SMT
Yesterday, I was working on a diewall using the Solid Modeling Tools. At the end of the day, I saved my work and shut down my machine. Today, part of the diewall is missing from the drawing and I can't figure out how to get it back. The diewall consisted of two construction paths because there are two section details, both a high wall section and a low wall section. When I saved and shut down yesterday, I had one of the products unchecked in the Tree View so that it was hidden. Today, I can't restore

FEATURE REQUEST: Check if W.O. is currently open before creating new W.O. of the same name
If you have a work order already open and then attempt to create a W.O. with the same name as the open one, it freezes MV. Can there be a validation that won't allow it to make the attempt if you are in a W.O. of the same name? That way, it could hopefully
