Sheet Goods Kit
Is there a way currently to have material "kit" that when processed it returns 3 materials? Face laminate, Core Material, Back Laminate. So far I can not find or figure out how to accomplish this within the software. If anyone has done this or is currentlyWood drawer box machining
We are currently running MV Toolbox 2021, and we are struggling with the wood drawer box from the library. The smaller drawer boxes, 150 or less in height, will not show as dado & screw, whereas the large and medium drawers on the same cabinet will. TheCustom Pull holes off center on drawers
Need to drill holes for a pull with different center to center distance than what is available in the library. (160mm) - I change pointers to Custom Pull - Copy an existing Pull to project level - Modify machining token for pull - Apply modified pull to Custom Pull token Holes drill at the correct distance however on the Drawer Faces they're off Center. What am I missing? Thank you.Having multiple tools under one tool number for interchangeability
I wanted to know if it is possible to have a more than one tool programed under the same slot for single use operations. IE tool 10 I have a 3/16" comp bit, and 1/16" bit depending on the operation.Dado Tool Selection For SMA
Hi There, Curious does anyone know how MV determines tool selection when doing solid model analyzer? A default dado tool ( Tool #9) is set up at our global file as well as in the tool file. But when using SMA, MV picked another tool ( Tool #2) for theFormula Driven Hardware (Pulls) - For Component Library
Is it possible to create or have a Formula Driven Hardware Pull in the Component Library (48_0)? If so has anyone done this and how would I go about getting it setup? More and more custom jobs are requesting special pulls that we don’t have in our database,Screw Drilling Is Not Showing Up
I am trying to assemble cabinets with screws predrilled with a 3mm drill bit. I have my machining settings set to drill a pilot hole in the applied backs and also have screws drill also. Currently the only way i can get predrilled screw holes is by settingFEATURE REQUEST: Create a 4-sided cutout machine token with the option of radiused corners
This machine token would get so much use I believe, if we could do away with the bulge list for a simple 4 sided cutout it would allow a simple parametric machine operation rather than quite a long vector driven formula.Browse to Factory Data
We are in the process of moving from local databases to a server based sql database. The server seems to be working well, but we are missing some things - namely everything that is stored in the "Browse to Factory Database" location on the individualMigrating Data
We are in the process of moving from local databases (one on each workstation) to a server based shared database.

When adding BORE token to hinges, I am noticing the "*-BASE CORNER BOTTOM, -BASE" in the formula to turn it on. What is that? I have never seen it before and is it used for reports or something and need to stay in there? I am trying to have the referenceDraw part vs cut part
Is there an easy way to make a part draw as one size but go to the CNC as a different size, without having to make multiple cutparts in a product? For example, we draw our scribe for submittals as whatever width the architect has specified so that when we redraw the elevation of it we don't have to constantly change the dimension. However, we send it to the CNC as no less than 3" because our CNC tends to have problems with parts smaller than 3". As another example, on our countertops that are wallSolid Model Analyzer - calculating product machining

I'm encountering a problem, and couldn't find anyone else encountering the same: When I use Project Properties to buyout all doors and drawer fronts it shows Buyout Drawer Override checked in Product Prompts and Subassembly Prompts.

I am pretty sure this has been asked for before and perhaps it is within the latest build, but it would be nice if the Categories within the tree were duplicated as folders within the Factory DB job on disk. That way when looking for dwgs on disk youFormula Hardware For Hinges?
We have different door profiles that are a difference of .75" and 1", and those require different hinges. They are both Blum Full Overlay Inserta hinges but the part # is different for the 1" thick door hinge. How can I add a formula to the hardware toPart Missing from Spreadsheet
I'm hoping this is a basic question. I have just finished programing a cabinet and checking it over before saving it to the library. While looking it over I found that a part, 'Left Side', is showing in the model, and showing in Part Properties; however,Assigning Materials to Layers before using SMA
Having trouble with SMA not recognizing materials that I've assigned to layers of my Autocad Model before analyzing. Wondering if this feature been removed in the most recent patch?

Hi all - Some quick setup information: -We are running the Foundation Library, latest release (1102) with Toolbox 2022. -T103 is our 3/8 compression spiral, used as our default routing tool and border router -T107 is our 91degree miter bit. It has theAutomating Work Order Processing
If we build a set # of custom MV products, can we automate the work order processing? (We have the products already built in MV and the dims never change.) I looked at the import/ export functions for MV, and I'm not seeing anything that can be used toXML Import Parts, Hardware, and Subassemblies to Library Products
It seems to be possible to import Parts and Hardware on a product level using XML importing but appears to only work when the imported product name doesn't match any existing products in the library. Is it possible to import a product with parts, hardware,Die Wall Stud Location
I am working on modifying the stock extruded die wall to make it a bit more usable for our environment. The question I have is regarding stud placement. Currently the system determines the number of studs and placement based on wall length, assuming IDIsplay vs Cut parts

I need help. The Foundation Library doesnt have a solid surface countertop to start modifying what my shop produces. Does anyone have a working basic model they could part with that i could modify to our needs?Machine Tokens and Prompts
I have created 4 new machine tokens that i need to associate to checked prompts on my countertops, how would i go about doing that?PLAM Countertop
So I'm pretty new to the MV universe and I'm starting to create new countertops for myself and the other drafters here in the shop. The basic extruded countertops are great but i wanted to know if anyone has been able to add laminate to the product? currentlyCustom Assembly Report
Is there a way to filter parts or products that have a "Comment" into a unique report? Looking to create a Custom Product Detail report for products or parts that need to be built by a more knowledgeable builder in our shop. Kind of like the Product DetailCountertop edge
We manually miter fold our solid surface tops, I am in the process of figuring out how to work with tokens for drafting. I would like to have a top that has the miter fold show up and adds the length to the part for the shop. Where would I start?PLINE/tool relation
I have a dumb question I should know, but don't. I know on a dado, pocket, or cut out the the tool's diameter is taken into account, hence a lead on a through dado so you don't have rounded corners at the edge of your part. But if I apply a machiningSuggestion - Edit Product List Item Number for Multiple Products
When we create an exam room multiple times, such as a quantity of 20, we create 20 empty product lines within a "shipping" phase within the spreadsheet for each product within that room (20 base cabinets, 20 upper cabinets, etc). Each line is assignedDrawer Slide Boring
I see the associative token that bores the drawer slide holes into the cabinet side, but I don't see a token on the drawer box, drawer side, or slide (or variable to turn on a token) for boring mount holes for the slide into the drawer side. I'm in theWall panels - how do you do it?
I am going to be doing my first wall panel project in Microvellum shortly. Before I get too deep into into the project, I am wondering how others have set thier libraries up to handle this. The project consists of wall panels, soffits and colums. NonTapered Route from BENDING Token Not Nesting
I put a ticket in for this, but it was marked "solved" without fixing my issue, so I'm posting here... When using the tapered option on the bending token, a part draws correctly in 3D. It ALSO shows up with the correct route in the 2D Part Editor, whichOptimization of Various Sheet Sizes
