How 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 incorrectSMA does not generate parts correctly
Is it just me or you guys also have the problem with SMA not creating all the parts correctly? I opened I ticket but they blamed it on the path but could not explain why some parts are generated correctly while others are not...from the same path. IfProduct Issues: Shelves with Shelf Std
We have been using the "Shelves with Shelf Std" product since we started with MV a little over 3 years ago. As long as we stick to our regular KV87's and do not change shelf depths manually we have found a way to made it work. But recently we have neededHas anyone added Hafele Axilo leg levelers to hardware tab and applied machining?

Does anyone how the Pocket Penetrating Cutouts Setting should be set? I have mine set at 12. This might be a change in the 21.1.420.641 build as I know I had a in depth service request to make this function how i wanted it. Now my round cutouts up toMV Export WO programming logic

I cannot reverse the direction of the router for the Associative Dado Machine Token by changing the value in Parameter 2. Has anyone have the same problem and was able to solve it? I am using Microvellum OEM 2019 with Build 20.1.617.641. I do not remember trying to change the dado direction since upgrading from V67 a few months ago. I know in V67, it worked. But in V67, Parameter 2 was only Reverse Direction unlike the new Toolbox which has 3 options.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have an arrow on our doors/drawers to show grain direction on the 3D Drawing of the cabinet or even in the Flatshot token?
