Part labels printing portrait not landscape
I am currently trying to migrate to the Foundation Configuration. Everything is set up the way my company likes it. However we use a 4 x 2 roll feed label for parts. When I went to print a label it prints i portrait, so the half the label in not printed.Route Tool Depth
Is there a way to set the depth of a route or other operation relative to the thickness of the material in 'Draw Part in 2D' machining editor? I've had to change material thickness after a design was ready to go due to the material arriving and beingProgram Preventing Naming a Room with the same name as a Dwg within the Factory Database Directory
At some point the program started to check if there was already a Dwg within the on-disk Factory Database location by that name and prevent you from creating a room by that name. It never did this before. I figure this was obviously a change to the programChange Part Properties, 2d Part ops etc. without updating sections
Currently, our 'Product Section' (Plan Section and Cross Section) drawings are deleted if we select Cancel after making changes to products/parts. Is there a way to skip the section update for insignificant changes?ToolBox and Production Module
I have exhausted my search trying to find what is referred to as "The Production Module". It is referenced in a few "Knowledge Base" articles, without further explanation. I don't see it listed in "Software Features". Can someone point me to a betterMachine Token - Profile Panel Edge
A selected profile for The Machine Token, Profile Panel Edge, does not seem to update if you modify the profile and re-draw the part. I was making my own profile for a custom finger pull on a door. I used an existing MV profile as a starting point. I renamed the custom profile and re-drew the part and it worked, but the profile was not quite right. So I modified the profile, saved, and re-drew the part. The profile did not change. I checked the profile drawing and it was successfully modified. Whenperfect graining gone loco

HI everyone, Switching from Component to Foundation Library and trying to set up all our previous construction standards. One thing with our fully dadoed thick back is the need for a gap between the tongue and sides/top/bottom for a little wiggle room;Is it possible to edit the machine token parameter text that shows up in Part Properties?
I know the image can be edited, and User Defined Tokens can be added and controlled. But, can the original token's text be changed at all? There are some missing (newer) elements to some of the token parameters that we'd like to add. Or, if MV has updatedExtruded Product Builder Template

I've created a flatshot token for a countertop product. The Plan works great, the section will not show the miters on the parts at the deck & front edge. I'm using the Miter token and it looks good in the 3d part, it's just not translating to the flatshotno drawing?

Since you can array in both X and Y on a bore token, it would be great if the same thing could be done with the HWR array token. It would help us out a lot for things like z-clips, standoffs, etc, to be able to use a single token to product a grid of hardware. Please let me know if this exists and I am not aware.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 stuffCOMPOUND ARC

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 getImporting (Updated) subassembly from library?

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 triedHow 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 formulaMore available colors in the color column

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 beforecustom tab pull - foundation library
