Is there a way to disable or hide a specific type of Machine Token?
There are a few types of Machine Tokens that we'd like to disappear from the visible list, so that our users would never attempt to apply them to a part. This is typically because they either cause issues on our machines or in cutrite nesting software.
Split oversized back
Hi all, is there an option in the global settings or product properties to split a back if it goes over the material size? What is the procedure for dealing with oversized backs? Thanks, Pete.
Is there a way to adjust the automated lead-in that MV creates on closed/internal routes to be a straight line instead of an arc?
I know for sure it is creating this arced lead-in on 4-sided cutouts, but it might also apply to PLINES, etc. Currently, CutRite is expecting a straight route as the 1st segment, and it won't accept an arc. It therefore adds a really small segment before
custom tab pull - foundation library
Foundation library - 23_0609 tab pulls needed a 200mm ~ 7.875in pull which wasn't there substituted in appropriate width into formula of larger pull of the machining token. =LOCALIZEVECTORLIST("1;-0.078;0|1;0.0787;0|-6.8828;0.0787;0|-6.8828;-0.078;0",UCN(1,0),1)
Tall Fridge Cabinet Filler
Not sure if this is the correct area to put this, seems that the Tall Fridge cabinet scribe filler subassembly ignores a situation where there is a full end panel and only makes the filler the height of the cabinet and not the full height of the unit.
disc with dado

LOOKUPTABLE()
Could a function be added for returning the LookupTable a cell is currently in? Similar to COLUMN() and ROW(). An example use for this function would be in the VLOOKUP formula: VLOOKUP("Text",LOOKUPTABLE(),COLUMN(),FALSE).

Add a Lead In Option to Straight Line Route Token
The straight line routing machine token is a very easy to use, compared to the extra time it takes to write a PLINE. The only downfall with this token is the inability to add a lead in to the route. This is an issue because we like to try and avoid

Extra routing by hinge with no machining.
I am having what appears to be extra routing on cabinet ends near the hinges. It is on the face 6 face of cabinet ends. It showed up a few weeks ago but I have not asked about it earlier because the is no machining code generated for whatever it is so
How do I disable Lock Drop Front Distance

Display Scaling for High Resolution (4K) Laptop Monitor
I recently obtained a new laptop that has a 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160) display. I am having trouble getting Microvellum Toolbox to display correctly with Windows 10 High-DPI scaling. The Windows 10 recommended scaling setting is 250%, which is ridiculous because everything ends up so large, there is hardly any screen real estate. I have tried setting the scaling to various settings, but the only two that seem manageable are 175% and 200%. However, at those settings, Microvellum Toolbox is a bit of a

Seismic / CSIP standards
We are just getting started in MV and were wondering if anyone has created a method for predrilling the required pattern of holes into the backs of your cabinets to meet the Seismic(NAAWS) / CSIP requirements?
Rear Shelf Pin Hole Settings
Is there a global setting to set the parameters of rear shelf linebore for rear shelf support? I cannot locate any such setting and I have seen it happen automatically when the width of the "max shelf span" is reached. Is there a stand alone setting to
Is there a way to conditionally toggle a point on or off using an IF statement inside of a SINGLE vectors formula?
Is there a way to formulate a point to be either ON or OFF inside of a single VECTORS formula, using an IF statement, without needing any "|"& string stuff? In my testing so far, I was able to do so if I had 2 points and was only wanting to toggle between
Anyone create Tab Pulls – ex: Mockett DP3
Has anyone spent the time and effort to setup and create Tab Pulls for doors and drawers? I am talking about the full setup of 3D parts, 2d drawings, and machining as well. I created the hardware part so we can select it and it shows on the reports but I want to go further and get the drawings added and even do the machining as well. I made the 3d part and 2d section/elevation but I am finding there are rotation issues now since these are back mounted and directional essentially. So, the setup

One token for multiple parts
I am trying to have a token than can route multiple parts at once. Is it possible? Am i the only one who could use it? Because our countertops are made from multiple parts for visual use in our sections. Sometimes we need to put a sink hole in it and
Hardware Machine Tokens Not Applying to Drawer Box
We've been trying to pre-drill through the drawer subfront for our drawer pulls. The simplest solution I could think of was to add a -pull to the drawer box subassembly, link that to our default, and set the origin to match. While attempting to do this,
Missing Construction Line from SMT
Yesterday, I was working on a diewall using the Solid Modeling Tools. At the end of the day, I saved my work and shut down my machine. Today, part of the diewall is missing from the drawing and I can't figure out how to get it back. The diewall consisted of two construction paths because there are two section details, both a high wall section and a low wall section. When I saved and shut down yesterday, I had one of the products unchecked in the Tree View so that it was hidden. Today, I can't restore

FEATURE REQUEST: Check if W.O. is currently open before creating new W.O. of the same name
If you have a work order already open and then attempt to create a W.O. with the same name as the open one, it freezes MV. Can there be a validation that won't allow it to make the attempt if you are in a W.O. of the same name? That way, it could hopefully
