Part not showing correctly after a cut out
Hi There, It is my second time I am seeing this problem recently. So i have a regular rectangular part. After making some cutouts in the center, the part is shown incorrectly with only the cutout part visible not the rest of the part. Anyway I can correctFormula Material thickness at project level actively affecting thickness in other projects
We are experiencing an issue with our formula material, both in the library, and in existing projects, having the incorrect material thickness. The formula material thickness is set by a Wizard prompt when creating a project. The issue is that every newSeismic / CSIP standards
We are just getting started in MV and were wondering if anyone has created a method for predrilling the required pattern of holes into the backs of your cabinets to meet the Seismic(NAAWS) / CSIP requirements?Rear Shelf Pin Hole Settings
Is there a global setting to set the parameters of rear shelf linebore for rear shelf support? I cannot locate any such setting and I have seen it happen automatically when the width of the "max shelf span" is reached. Is there a stand alone setting toCan you show columns A thru P in Database Explorer?
I'm trying to effect a change for the include routes in borders option by inserting a formula in the J Column of all my cut parts. When effecting mass changes, I generally use Database Explorer and then Library Designer, but I have tried numerous thingsIs there a way to conditionally toggle a point on or off using an IF statement inside of a SINGLE vectors formula?
Is there a way to formulate a point to be either ON or OFF inside of a single VECTORS formula, using an IF statement, without needing any "|"& string stuff? In my testing so far, I was able to do so if I had 2 points and was only wanting to toggle betweenAnyone create Tab Pulls – ex: Mockett DP3
Has anyone spent the time and effort to setup and create Tab Pulls for doors and drawers? I am talking about the full setup of 3D parts, 2d drawings, and machining as well. I created the hardware part so we can select it and it shows on the reports but I want to go further and get the drawings added and even do the machining as well. I made the 3d part and 2d section/elevation but I am finding there are rotation issues now since these are back mounted and directional essentially.

I have two Master 2 Bay Vertical Cabinet cabinets - identical except the swing of the doors. The second generated a "perfect grain container too large" error. The container was 1400in +/- when the door was around 23in. this foundation library 23_0609Foundation Library -Materials Migration Tool

We've been trying to pre-drill through the drawer subfront for our drawer pulls. The simplest solution I could think of was to add a -pull to the drawer box subassembly, link that to our default, and set the origin to match. While attempting to do this,Missing Construction Line from SMT
Yesterday, I was working on a diewall using the Solid Modeling Tools. At the end of the day, I saved my work and shut down my machine. Today, part of the diewall is missing from the drawing and I can't figure out how to get it back. The diewall consisted of two construction paths because there are two section details, both a high wall section and a low wall section. When I saved and shut down yesterday, I had one of the products unchecked in the Tree View so that it was hidden. Today, I can't restoreHow to make all dados for back run through

If you have a work order already open and then attempt to create a W.O. with the same name as the open one, it freezes MV. Can there be a validation that won't allow it to make the attempt if you are in a W.O. of the same name? That way, it could hopefully"Primary Tool File"

There are several ways I can imagine going about creating and allocating "extruded hardware" using cut parts, solid stock, hardware parts, molding, profiles, or some combination of any of those. We have tried 3 approaches so far: 1) Creating cut partsEBP/SMT/SMA functioning in various "Builds and Libraries"
Seeing that there has been no further "development" of these modules, will using various "Builds and Libraries" have different drawing outcomes?.

Hi everyone! I need to place L shape solid rail to my base cabinet, but I wish for my cutouts to be only pockets instead of full corner/panel cutouts. But as I was looking for those cutouts settings, I find myself unable to find any part that they mightStarter Spreadsheet For Solid Modeling
When you create a new product using Solid Model Analyzer, all the parts go into a blank spreadsheet that has only Height, Width and Depth. If you are a shop using formula driven materials that require local prompts to get the material information from, these new products do not work correctly. Can we get the ability to customize the spreadsheet that SMA uses by default for new items? This opens the door to many possibilities including having default draw tokens at the ready.

We would like it if there were an option to add separator bars (or something similar) in Product Prompts and Wizard interfaces. This would help us group by categories within a tab. Currently, we use colors, which work ok, but we would prefer colors to reference the "type" of variable (green for "drives cost", red for "hardware related", blue for "banding", or some scheme like that) and have the separators to define the groupings. Not a priority request, necessarily, but could be a nice feature.FEATURE REQUEST: "Date" control type
