TB-BSB not allowing to pick Pline from the add part UI
When adding a new part and picking an existing polyline to define the shape we're getting an error: As you many can see in the pic the command line is empty. The pick UCI works fine, allowing to define part orientation in the drawing. But NOT pick Pline...Foundation Library - Drawer Front Adjusters
I’m setting up the Foundation Library and have a question about the drawer front adjuster. I’d like the adjuster to center on the drawer face rather than the drawer box. I don’t see a Global Option for this, so I believe I’ll need to modify the subassemblies.Negative Value in Material Name
Hi everyone, I’ve encountered an issue when applying a negative material value in a formula for a cabinet part. Specifically, when the formula includes a negative in the Materials (e.g., ="-" & Material Name), the associated part completely disappearsRead Only
Can the developers add Open Room Read Only to the Microvellum Project tab and free the drawing up for other engineers to open and edit? I am constantly asked to close a drawing for one of the guys to edit. Once they open it, I can open in Read only. IfEQV Function. HELP
I am trying to build a custom door style with multiple vertical slats spaced evenly. I found the EQV function is *almost exactly what I need. I have one row in my CutParts with the slats and I'm using the EQV formula to space them evenly. The problemGrain Matching SMA
Was hoping someone could point us in the right direction. When doing wall paneling we typically do a quick SMA on the panels. We've got these setup with the Perfect Grain Identifier but for some reason it spins the layout of the panels. What is it thatMortise & Tenon Settings and MiterFold
I revisited my original post and decided to break up my discussion and focus on the Mortise and Tenon. The multicolor item is what I drew in AutoCAD Solids and the "product is the single color. As you see the legs show the Mortise and the Facia shows"Countertop Straight" material selection for backsplash?
So I turned on the material options tab in the standard MV product for 'Countertop Straight" in the 24.0520 foundation library. It only gives me the countertop material and no option for the backsplash material. One would think it would make sense toGlobal References

Any idea on how to change the cell format in the toolfiles? Text color, etc.Chevron Wine Cabinet?
I do not see this option in the library. Or am I missing it? See below, trying to get something to match the designers drawings and not 100% where to go for this. Also if someone has done this, what is the construction method for this?Product not coming out in Product detail report
Hi All I have a product that when I process it ,the Image does not come out on the product detail report. I did it once, but can't figure it out now. I know it has something to do with defining a "prompt" in the spreadsheet. I looked through the knowledgePRO TIP: Grain Arrow for Analyzed Parts
We all know how costly wrong grain directions can be. For out-of-the-box library products this isn't much of an issue. But if your shop is anything like ours, you might be spending a lot of your time creating products from analyzed solids. This is whereneed to add a column to the lock lookup table

Where is the setting that I adjust for default rollout width? I need 3-1/8" reduction from opening size, but I cannot find the variable in globals or wizards. Thanks! LukeBest 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 materialBest way to create this curved die wall?
Please forgive my ignorance. We only work in residential and never use die walls let alone curved die walls. I am trying to mimic the island end panel below but with a toe kick recess. I have drawn a polyline and used the extruded die wall w/ studs andSMA Secondary Router for Routes too Small for Primary SMA Tool
If SMA finds a route smaller than the diameter of the default SMA router in the toolfile it just tells you it can't find a suitable tool and drops creating those tokens for you.

Does anyone know how the subassemblies link to the specific folder in the Database Explorer in CCL? Doesn't give you an option to save into Non Insert Subassemblies vs Subassembly Inserts, etc. Wondering how that all connects or if it matters other thanPeanut Connector 1 Implementation
Hello. I am working on adding the Peanut Connector 1 to our library and am having a bit of trouble. One of our guys got the CAD files for the hardware and the tooling, as well as the machining tokens from MV, however we have been unable to figure outPilot hole diameter for screw construction and drawer slide holes
I feel like I am doing everything right but I am stumped on the these hole diameters. I have screw construction set up with dados and those holes are reading .2756 which isn't even a drill bit size we have or I have set it to. I want it to be 3mm actually. The other issue is the drawer slide pilot holes are showing 3mm when I have changed them to 5mm. Am I missing something here? Also to add, when I change those settings below to 3mm, neither set of pilot holes change even after I redraw them.Aventos HF Top Hole position
Hi. Im a bit confuse about the positioning of the holes for the Aventos HF Top If i look at the blum installation, the top holes is said to always be put at 116mm from the top (93mm for special installation) In MV the hole are at 116mm but the HardwareLibrary Designer
What did I do wrong? I copy and pasted a cross section instruction token from a custom product to the regular library product, now my carcass doesn't draw and the part name formulas don't work.
