Product List Grid
I am running the OEM version of Microvellum I know it been awhile sense this was possible but way back when in V6.7 we were able to add different prompts in the Product List Grid. I know with the new build version we can add certain variable but all pretendingCreate a default Tab Pull option in Toolbox – ex: Mockett DP3
I have spent the time creating and setting up Tab pulls for our use but there are a number of things that have to be "tricked" in the system to get them to work correctly. It would be nice if the basics for these were setup and the formulas adjusted to make them work. Things I have found or had to change: Pull location from drawer front top has to be set as .001 because if you use “0” it places the pull at the center of the front. Pull distance from top/bottom of door edges must be set to zero.Procedure: How to Add Edge/Tab Pull to Component Library 50.7 Metric
Attached is a document that will show how to add a Tab/Edge Pull to Component Library 50.7. Values are in Metric. I also included the Tab/Edge Pull drawing files that I used. DISCLAIMER: This is my own take on the procedure and have tested on variousFEATURE REQUEST - Differentiate between THRU and BRAD PT bits
I know there was a similar post back on the old MV help website that had quite a few followers, but I thought I'd bring it up again. It would be really helpful to have a way for MV to automatically select the correct bit when a drill hole goes through the material vs when it doesn't without having to do a workaround. Several users, including us here at Stevens, have been "tricking" the program using different diameters (8.0 vs 8.1) or similar, but it would be nice not to have to do that. PleaseAdding Internal Door for plumbing shut off in a tall cabinet
I am attempting to add an internal door within a face frame tall cabinet product. My first thought was to copy the subassembly of the solid door nested within the product. However, I needed a different style of door (slab for the internal). I copiedIs there a way to add formulas to product names?
Hello! I am adding a cabinet catalog to our MV with the foundation library. I am wanting to add a formula to the product name per cabinet that I input. Is this possible? Every time I input a variation of formulas, it is saying invalid and not lettingHas Anyone added the EDGEBAND token to an older library
We are attempting to utilize this token in our 49 library. In the documentation it says it requires a v50.5 library or greater, but I'm wondering what do those libraries have that the older ones don't, and could we retrofit it into the 49? EDGEBANDFEATURE REQUEST - Ability to edit formulated materials in spreadsheet
Having to update materials in the interface only is so much more time-consuming than if we had the ability to do so in the spreadsheet. One example: Today I had 16 formulated materials that all had the word "Plates" in them, used in several formulas.French cleats on CNC
Has anyone been able to solve cutting french cleat nailers on your CNC? I've done all the things and its still not working....We have a V bit on our CNC that we regularly use, the check boxes are checked for "Use French Cleat Style Nailers" and "Use TopCustom product drawing incorrectly
Hi everyone, I created a couple of custom products for our shop, but when I draw them in, the parts all draw above the z axis; in the attached photos the one product is drawing 11 3/4 above 0, and another one is drawing 10 1/2 above 0. I check the HeightFEATURE REQUEST - Change/Improve the sorting of formulated materials
It appears that formulated materials 1st sorting criteria is the material name, rather than the alias, even though the alias comes first. It seems odd (and unlike any other programs I've used) to have a list that is sorted by the 2nd object in each line,Hinge plate 3d models
Anyone knows what is causing the hinge plates to be soo huge? Please see the attached picture. Foundation Library 21_0630DIVISION 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 resultFEATURE REQUEST - Sort alphabetically in Library Designer
I know that this happens on subs. I'm not sure where else it might occur... The subs in Library Designer do not sort alphabetically, and it is therefore extremely difficult to locate the sub you are looking for in a list of hundreds. We'd love it ifBenefits 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 strictlyWeird Routing
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here? This is a single door sink base. I have R and L finished and I cam getting this weird routing on the LH end only. Its happening on one other LH end as well. I have no idea what it is and I can't get itPerfect grain for Wall Panels
Hello, I could not find any information on how to have panels matched on custom sequence matched sheet stock. I found a video for kitchen doors. Nice, but how you do that when your container is 20'x15, spanning across multiple sheets of material thatLibrary Tool Paths and spindle direction
Trying to find a way to change this Tool Direction before it kicks this out from SMA? Any Ideas? AttachedQUESTION - What are the rules/restrictions on MV item numbers?
Things I've learned: - There can be no alpha characters after the decimal (we tried that once and it crashed our stuff). - If multiple special characters are used before the decimal, MV no longer auto-generate the next item# correctly when a product isPLINE 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
Library Designer has become a very powerful tool for mass changes and manipulations. It has also allowed all of the cutx information to be housed in an Sequel Database which opens the door to additional avenues of change through queries and find andBest 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-knuckleFEATURE REQUEST - Library Designer update to show qtys where used
We would like it if Library Designer could show a total quantity next to the "Parts/Products/Subassemblies Using This Item" text. The zeroes could be left off, but for some of our most commonly used prompts, in particular, we could use this qty for doubleHow to update the Product List (Overdrive) when Wizard/Global sizes are changed?
How can the Product List (Overdrive) be updated when the formula value comes from the Global/Wizard file? Example: The base cabinet depth changed from 573mm to 588.5mm. The Wizard is updated to the new 588.5mm base cabinet depth. When reopening theAggregates
Hi everyone, I'm always amazed at the diversity among all of the MV users and was wondering what everyone is doing for aggregates out there. We have a nested based Weeke Vantage 200 (5x12 Table) and have always ran a Benz Duo with a miterfold cutter attached.Export room not whole project
Is there not a way to just export a single room inside of a project instead of the whole project. I have projects with a lot of rooms and would like to export just a single to send to someone and can't seem to do that in the utility. I get that I canSMA Routes & Nesting Default parameters
Are there any parameters to control how a default polyline route is created when using the Solid Model Analyzer? We are having issues when we place our SMA parts on a nest, the routes are not picked up correctly and instead of converting the border routesBlum 25mm slide spacers have no machining
Has anyone ran into this issue? The slide spacers that MV has in the program all have machining except the for the blum 25mm. This is a problem because blum no longer sells the other sizes, only the 25mm that we need. We normally deal with it and do itMaking custom Hardware & adding it the the Hardware Library
We use a custom Toekick Bracket for all of our Attached Toekicks. How can I add this to our Hardware Library and have this show up in our Products when the Attached Toekick is used. And add pricing to this to show up in our Job Costing Report. I've lookedADA Sink Angled Frame - Scald Shield Route Issue ? - Finished Front vs False Front
When using the regular False Front, the Scald Shield and the Scald Shield Route line up and everything is fine. But when we switch to the Finished Front and remove the False Front it pulls the machining for the Scald Shield Route forward by the thicknessStarter Unit
Good Morning all, Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm green to MV (10) weeks now. I created a tall starter product with 2 bays, roll outs on the bottom and 2 adj. shelves up top With (1) tall door on a 6" base platformHow to change the Machining Token default settings?
How do I change the parameter default settings of Machining Tokens? The attached image shows the default settings for a Straight Line Routing token. The default Tool Number {7} is 101. I want to update the tool number to reference a Global value.Allow Machining Tokens that are made for specific hardware to Allocate that hardware.
This would allow us to have one token that knows how many times it is used and how many pieces of hardware it needs. And if it gets turned off, or changes the qty of holes drilled the quantity of the hardware allocated would change too. This would saveFinista Swift Draws

I have one Specification group in my template. When I import an XML project with multiple group of colors can we take the default specification group and copy it for every group of color I need? Thank youFEATURE REQUEST: Updated Edit Material UI
The images below illustrate some enhancements I think could provide some clarity and eliminate any confusion, as well as help streamline the button order for editing materials. Simply removing "size" from the buttons for the sheet properties helps reduceSpec Group Prompt when new room created
It would be great if MV prompted you / asked you which spec group you would like to use for each new room you started. I'm always going into Overdrive Pro (Product list) to change the products into the correct spec group once I realise that the incorrectNext Page
