Shelf Oversizing
We're working on a floating shelf design where we want to maintain the original dimensions in the drawing. However, we need the actual cuts to be 10mm oversized on each edge, including a 45-degree miter, without reflecting this oversizing in the model.How to keep an additional route on the border cut
Hello, For small parts we setup MV to leave onion skin. We are trying to implement Smartclips with Backsplashes. Problem is that we cannot clean the onion skin on the edge w/ Smartclips. So, we thought to add an additional straight cut that will cut thruFEATURE REQUEST: Open Edit Design Data inside correct sub when clicking on hardware part
I like the feature that opens Edit Design Data inside the sub or nested sub that the cut part you clicked on belongs inside of. I wish the same thing worked on hardware. We have some subs that are HWR only, but if I click on a HWR part, it brings me intoAdding route priority to dado token routes
Is there a way to set the route priorities to DADO token routes; either the pocket (mortise) or the rabbet (tenon)?Lookup Table Range

Hey Everyone! We have started down the road of Formula materials, but I am not 100% sold that is the proper way to go for us and I am looking to see what others are doing to manage material thickness' when using full dado construction or similar. WhatWhy Can't I Type MVPRODUCTPROMPTSMULTI Command?
Just like it says on the tin, if I type MVPRODUCTPROMPTSMULTI, I get MVPRODUCTPROMPTS, which is different and not what I typed in. This all seems to be despite the fact that MV clearly calls the prompt MVPRODUCTPROMPTSMULTI whenever you click the buttonBulge Angle Help
I have a polyline drawn, "A" and "B" in the image are dynamic, and it will affect the bulge. I am not sure how to calculate that? I understand bulge is the angle, and I can get this hard coded fairly easy but I need this to be formula driven. Just notOFFSETPOLYLINE Function
Has anyone had any issues with the offsetpolyline function in the 23.1.1027 build? It seems to be broken in every formula of our products and I'm wondering if its my syntax or a bug (the function was working fine in previous builds)Conditional BORE token on a pull
We're trying to set a associative hardware token on our pulls and are running into an issue. What we're trying to do is have all pulls that are on drawers be counterbored on the back side so that the screw head is below the face so the pulls can be attachedFEATURE REQUEST - Named Variable Hub and Dependency Tree
It would speed up workflow if there were an easy window to open containing all global and local variables, identified by which type they are, where you could alter the variable name and it would update all instances across the library. If two sheets'Small Part Dowel Spacing
I've run into a little quandary. Based off of some AWI standards and various iterations of our shop's normal methods, I've had to modify the dowel hole spacing. Small parts (i.e. nailers and spreaders) need to get the first dowel at 30mm and the nextFEATURE REQUEST: Allow Alt+Enter Inside "Edit Formula" box to organize formulas
In Excel (and inside cells in MV), you can type Alt+Enter in between parts of a function to separate the text into multiple lines (fyi - it may cause some unwanted formatting changes). I'd love to see this function, or some other way to use "Enter" insideCan a person create a User-Defined Workbook?
Just double checking - there isn't a way to add a user-defined workbook (in addition to F,G,W,D,M,E,H,S,&N) and be able to reference it within other workbooks, correct? I tried to add one via Workbook Designer, but it didn't seem to let me rename it fromFEATURE REQUEST: BENDING Token Does Not Allow For Concave Settings
I tried to put in a ticket, but it was directed to the community forum instead. If you like this idea and want to see it added/fixed, be sure to thumbs up this post so the developers can see that this is a highly requested feature. If you have a convexF
Why can't I drag 'n drop the Factory spreadsheet in Database Explorer? It didn't matter much when there wasn't anything I need to tweak in it. Yes, I do know how to get it out. I've been doing the whole Puppet Show for years. Still, when we've lost allDivisions Lengths #Name?

Hello MV team Is it possible to have a proper Mirroring function??? Ie the ability to mirror a product including all cut outs and extra machinery, we do lots of repetitive work that changes from right to left hands, it would be nice not to have to manuallyEdgeband Part Size Adjustment won't work with Thickness=0
I would like to be able to use the "Part Size Adjustment" field for "Edgebanding" to oversize any edge it gets applied to by a certain amount.

Hello, When constructing Blind Uppers, we employ blind hinges to hang the doors. Previously, CL provided options to alter the door-hanging method for Blind Uppers, even though the machining and door sizes were not accurate. However, in the FoundationToolbox is sooooo slow and lags
I have a project I am doing, and 3D orbiting takes 10-15 seconds to just load, then I can move around, but when I release it takes another 10-15 seconds to load. Moving around in this project is miserable and makes it take 3-4 times the amount of time.Foundation Library Addition Request
It would be great if there was a way for users to help guide the evolution of the foundation library by being able to submit requests in some kind of structured way, beyond posting in general community pages. Could there be a dedicated thread? Or somethingAdding Locks to the Foundation
Question, I tried to add locks to the Foundation Library following the steps in the "Adding a new hardware item to the Foundation Library". I don't have any issues adding them to the hardware library and adding the machine tokens to them. The issue thatCan "Include Routes in Border" be controlled at the part level?
We typically control this setting at the tool file level, but I noticed today that there is an option within a report for Parts.DontIncludeRoutesinNestBorder. Can this be controlled on a part-by-part basis, and if so, how? This would be very helpful toHow to set up machining for Blum rear hanging bracket?
