DIVISION SETBACK IN FOUNDATION LIBRARY
The Division setback Variable is missing in the globals. Also- I think the default for G!Division_setback should = G!inset_top_and_bottom in addition- the local variable should default to= G!inset_top_and_bottom+G!Division_setback The above will resultBenefits formula driven material?
Hello! I am setting up the new foundation and going through everything. I came across formula driven material and never have understood it. The KB articles explain what it is, and how to edit/add but not when is the best to use them. Is it strictlyPLINE Machine Token Parameter 4 [options], What are the options?
Here's the PLINE token in the parameters list. In parameter 4, what is this [options] cell supposed to contain options for? I ususally leave this cell blank, but am having some serious trouble with some ROUTE tokens not nesting right, though looking goodFEATURE REQUEST - Searching in Library
It would be great to be able to search for fields of a material. For example hardware in the hardware library with a material code. The search will pick up the name of the hardware item, but not names or numbers within the material code.FEATURE REQUEST - Update Library through Library Designer from .SDF file

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-knuckleFinista Swift Draws

We have been using the "Shelves with Shelf Std" product since we started with MV a little over 3 years ago.

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,Hanging File hardware discussion

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have an arrow on our doors/drawers to show grain direction on the 3D Drawing of the cabinet or even in the Flatshot token? I've looked at the parameters for the flatshot token in the Metafile Instructions, but I did not see anything. Looking to get this into our products.

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 howLibrary 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,Miter

HI, I found out an issue in the new library V50.6 Product Starter Horizontal: When i use full top , the top would set back from the edge of cabinet by a thickness of the material. It seems like it accounts for a finger pull rail even though it is not selected. I tried it out in Library V49.1 without this issue. So just want to point it out.How can I copy a part from the clipboard of an older library into the clipboard of a newer one?
Somehow my base carcass lost it's intermediate stretcher. I have an older catalog (#35) that has that part, so I saved it to the clipboard. Can I use database explorer to copy that part from the clipboard of the 35 catalog into the clipboard of the 44.1 catalog that I currently use? Then I can paste it into a base cabinet and save the carcass subassembly to the library. Does anybody have any ideas about this? How about how to get that part back into my base carcass in the 44.1 library some otherPrompt to move divisions individually

I see that the library already has Accuride pocket door hardware set up for 1321 series. We are not seeing a prompt or a product that uses pocket doors? Before we can decide if 1321 series will work for us or if we need to add an additional slide, we need to know how to activate/use this hardware.Issue with machine token not working on product
I am having an issue with a partition/divider for a vanity. The single division is supposed to be dado into carcass bottom and top stretchers with a 1.5" set back and that is not happening. I created this vanity using a starter product and saved it to our library previously and that machined fine on our CNC. Now that we ran this again it is not associating the set back and dado. I drew a new product starter and that is working as normal so I compared the machining tokens in part properties and theyVLOOKUP Table for Material Thickness

Library 44.1 We have some KV 8908 32" drawer slides that we need to use for a project. It has (7) drawer slide holes that need to be machined into the carcass. I've added the slides as normal and everything is working, with the exception that there are only (5) holes being drilled. I'm guessing this is because the G!LookUpTableSystemDrawerSlide look up table only has columns for the first through fifth slide holes. So my question is, can I add two more columns to the look up table, between columnsTrick for determining the offending source of an error in your spreadsheet

Hi all, i posed a similar question regarding oversized backs, but does anyone have experience in splitting oversized parts? In Cabinetvision you just pick your part and choose the split point. Any function like that in Microvellum? I know the extruded product builder can split parts at maximum material length.v67 Adding Routing to a Subassembly Part
Does anyone out there remember how to add route machining to a subassembly part in v67?

You cannot modify this part." If you remember how to do this would you reply with a short procedure?2 sided cabinet

First post here in MV forum. Very new to the software as I just finished training 2 weeks ago. With that being said I am having an issue finding some setting for inset doors/drawers. See attached photo of a rendering and some of the ideas we are trying to achieve for a customer. The inset doors/drawers are about an inch or so behind the side panels, tops/bottoms. How do I make that work? I have checked all in edit design data and cannot find any prompt or anything to do that. Any insight?Next Page
