Drawer Pulls not placing correctly
I don't know what I've done but now my Drawer pulls are not showing up correctly. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix this. ThanksFEATURE REQUEST - Option to Allocate ROLLS of Material (for fabric, vinyl, carpet, rubber, etc)
It would be GREAT if there was a way to allocate material out of a ROLL, rather than only having the option to allocate out of sheets. The material would still have an overall width and length (of the roll), grain direction, etc. But, when optimized,How can you copy a Project Phase from one Project to another
Just starting a new Project and it has alot of the same products as a recently completed project. How can I copy the entire phase from the completed project to my new one and have all the products work?Add material name to G Code header
Hi. In our old system the G Code included the material name in one of the first lines, I was hoping to do that in Microvellum G Code. I have been in the custom headers configuration in the tool file in the integrated post processor settings under customCustom Spec Group Available...
Hello Community! I've put A LOT of work into my company's default spec group... I've reworked a lot of things to where it makes sense to me how the spreadsheets should work together... I've transitioned to inputting all the material choices (descriptions)unwanted additional pointers with every import
I get unwarranted doubling of pointers when I import project from home to office network which leads to confusion in the material file. How do I avoid this in the future.Functions I Didn't Know Existed - PARSETEXT and VHLOOKUP
This is really just a heads up for anyone that, like me, had never browsed through all of the Functions in the function list in Workbook Designer. I just found out that these 2 functions exist, and they will really help with a lot of the complex formulating5 piece drawer box lock dado
Is there a construction method for making 5 piece drawer boxes with the bottom having lock dadoes on all edges? I can seem to get the sides to dado to the sub front and back but the bottom still is placed in a dado. The shop would prefer the bottom toHas anyone considered or already formulated the interior finish of cabinets based on them being “open”?
When dropping new cabinets, the interior finish radio button is hard coded based on if the cabinet is an open finished cabinet or not. This work great when you are dropping selected cabinets from the library as needed. But if you use the “Swap Cabinet”How do you make a route priority last?
I want to have some cutouts on a part to be done last, Reason for this is part might move if cutout is done prior to other machining. In previous releases you were able to designate the priority number 999 so that was done last. 2020 version you startUnderstanding Machine Points
Hello, I have a custom countertop product that someone designed for us and it works well but now I am trying to add banding to the edges of the splashes to identify them correctly. The problem is that when I assign the banding to the part as it appearsSolid Model Analyzer

Hi, I have updated new library and new 2020 Version of Toolbox, I have 2 problem with this new version which I can not work with the software, 1. When I finish my drawing and will nest and create G-Code from my project I can not see any part on processingStandard Machine Token Parameters
Does anyone know where Standard Machine Tokens get their default parameter values from? For example, when I add a machine token, 3 Sided Notch, the Tool Number is always 102. I would like to change that value to reference a Global variable so I don'tPart Properties - Save and Redraw
I upgraded my Microvellum Toolbox 2019 to Toolbox 2020. The "Save and Redraw" command for the Parts Properties window worked correctly. I then installed Update 20.1.1012.641. But the "Save and Redraw" command does not re-open the Part Properties windowElevation Dimension Offset Global Variables
In Microvellum Toolbox 2020, it appears that the Global variables (G!Elev Dim Offset Baseline and G!Elev Dim Offset Vertical) that controls the offset distance the elevation dimension is from the cabinet does not work. I have changed these Global variablesHow to Permanently Change Grain_Matching_Identifier?
The way we sometimes number our products results in the Grain Matching Identifier using the same digits of, say, an entire room instead of for each individual product (eg, #123.01, 123.02, 123.03, etc. all get ID'd as "123"). When it comes time to processWould it be possible to add 2 fields to each hardware item for an image and a description?
We include a hardware page in our shop drawings that identifies the hardware used on the job. It would be very helpful if a field for an image, and another for the description were part of each hardware record. Then we could populate each item on theHow to have reports show mulitple items individually
Hi, I have a series of closets that are all identical. I am going to use the same cabinet number for all of them. I was wondering if there is a way for my reports to print out individual sheets for each unit instead of having one sheet and having a quantitytoe kicks missing image in reports
Hi, All my products in my reports for assemblies have an image but some reason some products, mostly toe kicks and counters along with fillers do not seem to have one. i checked the report and it is pulling from FaceFrameImages.WMF.

Any time I attempt to draw a product and there is an error or an invalid hardware item in the cell where a hardware name should be, AutoCAD crashes immediately (see attached image, which was on a HWR Array). I've only noticed this on the past 2 releases.Shelves Holes
Hi, I would like to do the regular linebore depth on the left cabinet side and all through the right side. Do we have somewhere an option for doing that? Thank you in advance for your answers.FEATURE REQUEST: Flatshot Parameter Descriptions
For most 2D drawing tokens (DRAWLINE, DRAWTEXT, DRAWRECTANGLE) the parameters in Part Properties specify what goes in each field (Start X, End X, [Text Style]|[Text Alignment], etc). It would be helpful to see the same for the FLATSHOT metafile token.Material shown in prompts doesn't match project materials
I'm seeing ".75 finished Plywood" when I view material at the prompt level. This is what the material is named by default but has been renamed with find & replace in the project materials. It's not consistent because all the plywood shown in the projectFEATURE REQUEST: Sort Materials After Project Find & Replace
Currently (20.1 v1012) using the Project Wizard's Find & Replace to rename project inventory creates an unsorted list of materials. The materials are still properly linked to the CTPX parts but it's inconvenient if you need to copy a material to ProjectSmart Layer Mgr
Does anyone know how to Save a "Custom Color" in Smart Layer Mgr? We set all like parts, ext. fin. panels, interior framing and sub panels, e.g., to matching colors. Ideally we'd set the extruded part layers to match the 30 and 40 series colors set inChanging Kick base Finished Fronts From Mitre To butt Joins

Running into issues when it comes to thru hole drilling while using the Solid Model Analyzer. When a thru hole is located inside a dado, it causes the drilling operation to happen from the opposite side causing a two step machining process.

Based on the stock setup from MV we are using the Blum 120 hinges for our default hinge. Under normal circumstances of ¾ Melamine and 13/16 Laminate finished end panels this works. 3/4 Melamine – 1/16 reveal – 17.46 Overlay 13/16 LaminateAdjusting Hardware Machining
I need to increase the depth of my boring for hinge plates. We are right at the cusp of the minimum depth and I am having issues. The only place I was able to locate a reference to this machining was on the hardware itself. I have changed my boring depth parameter, but to no avail. Am I not looking in the correct location? Thanks TRPFEATURE REQUEST: Add Option for Double Divisions on Product Starters
I get asked a lot if there is a way to use double divisions in the Product Starter products. It would be great if this were an option. If you're asking why this is necessary, there are companies that do not want parts with Face 6 machining. DependingProblem of Vlookup Formula
Hi, I am messing around with adding custom pulls and trying to figure out location of it. Can't see why the Vlookup formula doesn't return the right value(-0.01). =(INDIRECT(PARENTNAME("Door_Thickness"))*-1)-VLOOKUP(Pull_Name_Door,G!LookUpTablePullType,9,FALSE)Custom size pulls

In Solid Modeling Tools, when you add a stud(s) at a joint (say, for die wall), all the existing studs remain in their current location. The space between the new stud at the joint and the next (existing) stud will be different from the current stud spacing. It would be nice if Microvellum could automatically recalculate the stud spacing on either side of the joint. Right now, I do not believe there is a way to recalculate the stud spacing between the joint and the end or another joint. The studBlum Space Step
What is the chance of getting this added to the libaraySolid model Profiles and sheet Sizes
FYI, When working with the Extruded parts portion of the solid modeling tools, If the construction path is longer than the material length, a "joint" is added to the part this makes perfect sense, But if the 2D profile that is used for the extrusion happens to be "deeper" than the width of the material, No joint is added. Example might be a 32inch deep solid surface countertop where the material is only 30 inches wide. Just happened to run across this occurance trying to quickly show someone howLibrary Designer Dilemma
I made the classic library designer faux pas. Can anybody tell me if there is a way to reference the cabinet name it's saved to the library with? When I look at the library, each cabinet has the correct name, but I put a formula in the Product Name prompt, and I want to reference that library name in that formula. Is this possible? Related to that, I would like to suggest the library designer have a feature to "uncheck all" with regards to the list of other cabinets that have this prompt. Then,QUESTION - Is there a way to add new Room Components and Appliances to the library?
I made changes to a room component and wanted to save it up, but I don't see an option to under Room Components. If I click to "Save Product to Library", I don't see that it lets me save it in the Room Components stuff. I tried saving it as a regular product, but it doesn't show up in the "Draw" list. I tried to make a new sub inside of a Room Component, but the new sub doesn't show up in the list of subs, either. Is there any way to make this work, currently?Miter
Can a offline miter be set up with scribe? and if so how? Right now I only see Miter offline as a check box in the Machining Tab of the Spec Group Global Files. But our shop setup requires a set scribe sizeNext Page
