Best way to change the size of Doors/Drawer Fronts when using institutional RPC 5-knuckle hinges?
We recently ran a job using institutional RPC 5-knuckle hinges. In toolbox the door sizes and location look fine. We have the proper outside and vertical gap reveal. During the install though we found that while physically hanging the doors the 1/8” center gap (pair of doors) was basically gone and the doors were rubbing. This happened as well on single doors but the finished edge reveals basically turned to “0”. The only good explanation is variance in the manufacturing of the RPC 5-knuckle

Associative Dado Machine Token - Reverse Direction
I cannot reverse the direction of the router for the Associative Dado Machine Token by changing the value in Parameter 2. Has anyone have the same problem and was able to solve it? I am using Microvellum OEM 2019 with Build 20.1.617.641. I do not remember trying to change the dado direction since upgrading from V67 a few months ago. I know in V67, it worked. But in V67, Parameter 2 was only Reverse Direction unlike the new Toolbox which has 3 options. From reading the release notes of previous builds,

Add the Formula Driven Aliases in the Export Material User Interface
Right now when you go to export a formula driven material, from within DB management tools, the aliases don't display and only the "evaluated" material descriptions do. This can make it hard to determine the exact formula driven material you want export.

Solid model Profiles and sheet Sizes
FYI, When working with the Extruded parts portion of the solid modeling tools, If the construction path is longer than the material length, a "joint" is added to the part this makes perfect sense, But if the 2D profile that is used for the extrusion happens to be "deeper" than the width of the material, No joint is added. Example might be a 32inch deep solid surface countertop where the material is only 30 inches wide. Just happened to run across this occurance trying to quickly show someone how
Library Designer Dilemma
I made the classic library designer faux pas. Can anybody tell me if there is a way to reference the cabinet name it's saved to the library with? When I look at the library, each cabinet has the correct name, but I put a formula in the Product Name prompt, and I want to reference that library name in that formula. Is this possible? Related to that, I would like to suggest the library designer have a feature to "uncheck all" with regards to the list of other cabinets that have this prompt. Then,
