Wall 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
As an example, say we run 90% 4x8's for a project, but we need 2 4x10's for tall products. All same material (say 19mm_RiftWhtOak_2S_VEN). In Microvellum sheet good library, we set our quantity of 4x8's to (1000) priority 2 and 4x10's to (2) priorityLeg Levelers?

We have a removable top panel that we use when installing recessed can lights into a cabinet. We built the panel as a subassembly that simply gets turned on and applied to the openings and has options for the number of lights.

I am testing the formula driven materials, and I want to try and pull down the job number and have it as part of the material name. Is this doable?Delete custom products from library
We have added a few custom products to our library and over the last few jobs have made some improvements to them, and want to delete the old versions. How do you do that?Subassembly inserts
Hello, I have created a new "Rollout en U" Subassembly now I would like it to appear in my "subassembly inserts". what should I do?Foundation Library wizards
Hi, We're starting out on the new library an are having issues with Wizards 'reverting back to default' when selecting 'Default Drawers'. If we change the 'Default Drawers' as per 'Image A' (attached) it works when you redraw however when you restartDrawer Box Heights in Foundation library not working properly?
Using the 0902 library, drawer heights not using prompts from Globals or lookup table. Not really sure how else to set this up, but it appears that the formula that calculates the drawer is just a basic formula. Shouldn't it be a VLOOKUP formula is thatCan you change the tool used on border routes on specific parts?
On our 5 piece doors we run 1/2 panels with the rabbet on the back (Pline5 token) with a downcut bit to avoid fuzzy edges. However, when it cuts out the part with our compression afterwards, it is the upcut part of the bit and causing fuzziness on theHow to add more than 1o shelves
I am designing a tall cabinet for an art room, and it contains 23 adjustable shelves. Unfortunately, MV only allows up to 10 out of the box. How do I get it to allow me to add more? I searched the forum and came up with an old thread that was a yearTurn off part labels for a product
With our plywood plinths, we add in an assembly block product. This can have a quantity of 50 or more and uses the remainder of the plywood sheets. The assembly blocks do not require part labels. Is it possible to remove this at the product level or through"E" Column in Cut Parts
Is it possible to leave this Column Blank? Or have it used as a reference to the "Map Parts" Column? We are currently using this column to calculate which machine will be required in optimization, then using the Map Parts as a VLOOKUP to match the machineCustom Booth
Hello, Lake here with Global Expedition Vehicles. I seem to be having an issue with a custom product when I run the FACE 6 operation. It's just this one product/Booth that is having the issue. I don't know if something is flipped or what? EverythingPointer reference
Is there a way to reference where a particular pointer is being used? We have a particular pointer that we want to change but don't want to create a huge problem later down the line.Aximat 300 hinges?
We have a job coming up for '23 that is going to require use to use the Aximat 300 hinges. (344.06.800 cup / 344.06.920 arm) I am just wondering if anyone has a working setup for these hinges that they would be willing to either share or answer somebetter way to make fomular hardware part
I have one part number, it is very similar but just has different language or connection or type or length, then it will have tones of part number. But we need the part number for price and report purpose. I am thinking use fomular hardware, but i amSQL Joins for Work Order Parts
Hello, Does anyone happen to know what the table joins are to recreate the work order window, but to view all parts among active work orders? We are set up with a unified WorkOrder DB so not sure if my joins are correct or not. I got close using the dataTruncated Elliptical Cones
Is there any way to do these types of structures with the SMA system? We are able to do cones and truncated cylindrical cones, but elliptical ones fail to analyze.Solid Model Analyzer - Lag
I'm not quite sure what is going on, but recently the Solid Model Analyzer has refused to work smoothly. When I go to analyze solids to make a product the program will hang for quite a long time, up to 5-10 minutes. Then it will ask for each solid material.How to check if a product has door(s)

Where can I find the parameters for the standard machine tokens? I currently have to change the tool number every time I use one.How do I copy a spec group from an older library to a newer library?
We have been doing bars for a specific customer for a number of years. We were using the library 35 then. We made a lot of custom cabinets for these bars that we use over and over. We made specific spec groups for them as well, including all modules.Extruded Hardware
I am trying to add a few pieces of extruded hardware for a display case I am making. The item width and heights will be based on the overall display case width and height. I have tried adding the items as a hardware item, but that leads me to a staticMaterials for Reception Desks, etc
So I do not use any solid modeling tools, I use the stock extruded products for my die walls etc. A large portion of the time the construction methods are the same but the materials change.

I do not see that the option exists to "Drill from Opposite Side" on hardware, but it would be very helpful for us if it did. Since it is on other machine tokens, is it possible to add it to the hardware ones? Since this option doesn't exist, we areability change the "room name" to "drawing name" in users interface in processing station window and part list review window
In options, for project viewer , we have ability change the user interface from ROOM to Drawing, as we are not using room name. Which works good in product viewer interface. But in processing user interface, and part list review interface, it still showsAdjusting Grass drawer front connector
I would like to adjust the bore of the grass nova pro scala front connecting bracket from 12mm to 13mm to the drawer front. I used to go to "lookuptables" but the drawers seam to be no longer there. Can some one point me in the right direction on whereFace6 Machining
I have a tall cabinet with a division released to the shop. There are programs created for the face 6 machining for the shelf standards on face 6. I feel like there used to be a report that showed how to position the part and which program corresponded to which part. I cannot seem to find it.

Hello, I am very new to microvellum, and i cant figure out how properly assign tooling where i need it. Currently im making shaker style mdf doors, and I am doing pocket routes for hinge cup holes, and i need to pocket the door with a different bit, iMachine Point Formula
Im trying to place a formula inside the machine point. =IF(OR(Bay_Position>59,Bay_Position<68),3,3M) The syntax is correct as it will return 3, but does not like 3M. Is it not possible to mirror a machine point using a formula? Foundation Library 21Multi Pass Tools
I have a question about setting up multi pass/step tools. If I'm using multiple tools, which feed and speed configurations are being used on the individual passes? The ones in the 900 tool, or the ones for the tool I'm adding to the multi tool?Adjusting Dowel Patterns for Ease of Construction

Are machining tokens dynamic or static in nature? For example, I am designing a product with a curved end panel. Works great until I change the depth of the unit, then I lose most of my curve. See attached images. The before is correct at 24" Deep.Pullout/Inner Drawer Spacer

This is just for drawing purposes, but i need an edge to be chamfered. I have attempted to use the CHAMFER and MITER machine tokens. MITER works, but i dont want a point.
