v67 Adding Routing to a Subassembly Part
Does anyone out there remember how to add route machining to a subassembly part in v67? For example, using the button "Draw Part in 2D" and selecting the door (subassembly part) in the drawing results in an error message "This selection is part of a subassembly. You cannot modify this part." If you remember how to do this would you reply with a short procedure?
2 sided cabinet
trying to make a cabinet that has 2door/2drawer on one side and 2door/false front on the other side- I have built two cabinets and tried to use the associative feature to transfer machining from one side to the other- I am missing the machining for the hinges and false front on the back side of the cabinet. Two options: 1- Can I copy the machining from the one side to the other side somehow? 2- I tried modifying the base island with no luck- I am running toolbox v48, where there some updates that
Tongue position change
Where to find the formula that sets the position of the line for the drawer groove that will fit the tongue of the subfront or back ? I want to add some extra space from the edge (from 18 to 18.2 on from the edge to bring the subfront more inside). Thank you .
Easy question about inset doors/drawers
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?
Where can I find documentation for switching to annotative scaling in library 44.1?
I know the new library comes with it, but it should be easier to switch to annotative dimensions (and text) in my 44.1 library then to make all the other changes needed to the new 50.5 library.
How to restore deleted room
Hi someone, I am in urgent need to restore a room that I accidentally deleted. It is still in the microvellum factory database but I have no idea how to bring it back to the project. Is there any possible way? Please help me, and thank you very much.
Subassembly File Size
I have a subassembly file that takes a while to load and I am trying to figure out why. I exported it to the my hard drive and I found it to be nearly 1MB compared to other subassembly files which are 80-100 kB. I was wondering what makes the file size so large, and how can I compress it? Thanks, Chris Ramos
Library Designer Product Selection Feature
It would be nice if the Library Designer would allow you to: 1) Check or Un-check a box in the Libraries Affected with a single, opposed to the click to selected product + click to check or un-check box. 2) To Check or Un-check all boxes in the Libraries Affected. Example: In the Products Using This Item window.
Setting up New Library
I'm in the process of setting up a new Library v50.5. Having trouble with the scaling of the Text and Item Numbers. It's probably a simple, just can't remember how. Also, the grain arrow is shows up on the right drawer fronts even though I do not have a grain spec group selected. Has anyone experienced this when setting up Library 50.5?
Selective Machining
With Sub Assemblies and Nested Sub assemblies In mind, How do you get machining based on what it is? I have a notch that I like to use on my wood drawer. I use a polyline token in the hardware with the following formula "=IF(S!ProductCode = "C,2,SA,DF","PLINE",IF(N!ProductCode = "C,2,SA,DF","PLINE",0))" The purpose of the formula is: I don't want the token active if the lock is on a door, I only want it if it is on a drawer front. It works for the most part but not all of the time. I need to know
I need to change the dado route in existing product, solid surface tops, to make a double pass for all routes.
I have been in the game for a while and for some reason cannot think of the best way to go about this. We have a drawer full of resharpened bits that can no longer be used on our solid surface due to the resharpening shrinking the diameter of the bits. Right now out dado is set up for a single pass, that with a new bit would create a 1/2" dado. I need to make it double pass so that the resharpened bits can be used. I need to make this a standard on my product, so that it does it eveytime this product
Saving Subassembly Options
At times when developing a new product and modifying an assembly it would be nice to be able to set a default save level and bypass that step. I have been working on a product where I have modified and saved as new 4 assemblies, these are bay inserts that can be selected and interchanged so there has been a lot of saving and redrawing. At times I would like to just save and redraw to a level without the extra checking and clicking. Or, am I missing something?
