Make a New Library Product Category
I really want to add a couple new product category codes. Those category codes like "B=base" "T=tall".. I really want to have one for some other common products, so we can call on similar wiz/globals like "G!Base_Cabinet_Height" that are fundamental andIs there a way to export a multiple projects at one time to individual Database and Zip files?
Is there a way to export a multiple projects at one time to individual Database and Zip files? Will it be added in the future? When using database management currently we can export 1 “Project” at a time sending to its own Database & ZIP file for possible use or re-import later if needed. While you can do a batch export of job, they are in 1 database and not individual. Is there a way to export a multiple projects at one time to their own individual Database & Zip files? Is it something thatFoundation Library Addition Request
It would be great if there was a way for users to help guide the evolution of the foundation library by being able to submit requests in some kind of structured way, beyond posting in general community pages. Could there be a dedicated thread? Or somethingArchiving Old Projects

Currently, if you start typing in a combo box, it will bring you to the 1st instance of that 1st character, but it doesn't decrease the overall amount of choices in the list to ONLY those that start with that character.

Hi all, I just updated the library to the latest Build 24.0419, which indicated that added the Gola channels for shadow rail pulls, but it seems like I cannot find it in the product prompt. Any solutions about that? Based on the update release note: https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/microvellum-foundation-library-release-notes-build-24-0419Adding Locks to the Foundation
Question, I tried to add locks to the Foundation Library following the steps in the "Adding a new hardware item to the Foundation Library". I don't have any issues adding them to the hardware library and adding the machine tokens to them. The issue thatCan "Include Routes in Border" be controlled at the part level?
We typically control this setting at the tool file level, but I noticed today that there is an option within a report for Parts.DontIncludeRoutesinNestBorder. Can this be controlled on a part-by-part basis, and if so, how? This would be very helpful toBest Practices: Material Thickness formulas
I've been thinking about this for a while. Perhaps it is somewhat irrelevant, since parts are drawn based on the material pointers used, but not all of the materials in a spec group are used in each cabinet. Sometimes I want to refer to a particular materialDovetail Drawer Machining
This using the component library. I would like to be able to shut off the machining for dovetail drawers as it is done off line. I could modify the subassembly and save it to the library but I would rather not go that direction just yet. I thought thereWork Order is shifting my drilling??
I have set up some drilling using dummy hardware. It works perfectly in 3D. I have checked it in 2D part editor and it works great. When I create a work order it is showing a different dimension.

Curious how to set up machining for the rear brackets that hold blum slides for face frame applications? I have looked all over but maybe I am missing something?Custom Machining Sequence for specific partnames?
Is it possible to set the sequence of machining per parts based on their name? Similar to the "Custom Post Sequence" setting in the IPP settings but on a per-part basis? We would like to cut the border of a part before any routing operations on specifichinge plate returns #N/A error
I've added our specific Blum hinge to the LookUpTableHinges. We use the 71B3590 110 degree Blumotion Inserta type, and I wanted it reporting exactly on our hardware reports without needing to be edited on the fly. So far so good there, but now I'm gettingPart labels printing portrait not landscape
I am currently trying to migrate to the Foundation Configuration. Everything is set up the way my company likes it. However we use a 4 x 2 roll feed label for parts. When I went to print a label it prints i portrait, so the half the label in not printed.Solid Stock Report Issues
I just process a Face Frame and Shaker Door job and this is the solid stock report. What the hell is this and what can I do to figure out what is wrong. I use formula materials for the door and face frame parts and its been working fine with this formatRoute Tool Depth
Is there a way to set the depth of a route or other operation relative to the thickness of the material in 'Draw Part in 2D' machining editor? I've had to change material thickness after a design was ready to go due to the material arriving and beingProgram Preventing Naming a Room with the same name as a Dwg within the Factory Database Directory
At some point the program started to check if there was already a Dwg within the on-disk Factory Database location by that name and prevent you from creating a room by that name. It never did this before. I figure this was obviously a change to the programChange Part Properties, 2d Part ops etc. without updating sections
Currently, our 'Product Section' (Plan Section and Cross Section) drawings are deleted if we select Cancel after making changes to products/parts. Is there a way to skip the section update for insignificant changes?Number of Parts Processing vs Time
30 (identically shaped) parts. Diewall with conical shaped interior. I go to work order creation, hit process and wait... Processing: 1 Part = a couple seconds 2 Parts = a few more seconds 4 Parts = quite a few seconds 7 Parts = maybe a minute? If I processToolBox and Production Module
I have exhausted my search trying to find what is referred to as "The Production Module". It is referenced in a few "Knowledge Base" articles, without further explanation. I don't see it listed in "Software Features". Can someone point me to a betterPocketing tool path offset adjustment?
Does anyone know how to adjust the path offset for pocket routes? It seems to calculate the concentric path based on the diameter of the bit, but sometime this leaves an island in the middle of the pocket area. I would love to be able to use a 1/2" bitMachine Token - Profile Panel Edge
A selected profile for The Machine Token, Profile Panel Edge, does not seem to update if you modify the profile and re-draw the part. I was making my own profile for a custom finger pull on a door. I used an existing MV profile as a starting point. I renamed the custom profile and re-drew the part and it worked, but the profile was not quite right. So I modified the profile, saved, and re-drew the part. The profile did not change. I checked the profile drawing and it was successfully modified.

We'd like to try out the Unified Work Order database. We're already running a full SQL 2017. Of course I'm setting this up in a clone. No problem setting up the two new catalogs. The connection is fine but, of course, empty. I'm at "Tutorial 4" now but to me it's clear as mud. What SQLCE is this talking about? No graphic, no explanation of the source for this CE.

HI everyone, Switching from Component to Foundation Library and trying to set up all our previous construction standards. One thing with our fully dadoed thick back is the need for a gap between the tongue and sides/top/bottom for a little wiggle room;Is it possible to edit the machine token parameter text that shows up in Part Properties?
I know the image can be edited, and User Defined Tokens can be added and controlled. But, can the original token's text be changed at all? There are some missing (newer) elements to some of the token parameters that we'd like to add. Or, if MV has updatedExtruded Product Builder Template
Hello everyone! We are just now getting down to the nitty-gritty and trying to implement the EPB for all of our custom fabrication. It's been a big learning curve for all of us, and I still feel like there's so much we don't know, but I'll start withFoundation Library UCN Function

I have a project several rooms. When I tried to create a work order, all the cabinets are listed in the wrong rooms from which they were drawn in. I checked the Product Viewer in a room and the cabinets drawn in that room are not listed in the Product Viewer. The Product Viewer does list some cabinets, but for a different room. This does not affect the processing of work orders since work orders are not room specific. But there is a bug in Microvellum. All my other projects appear to have the cabinetsFlatshot Token: Section Issue
I've created a flatshot token for a countertop product. The Plan works great, the section will not show the miters on the parts at the deck & front edge. I'm using the Miter token and it looks good in the 3d part, it's just not translating to the flatshotNext Page
