Add a Lead In Option to Straight Line Route Token
The straight line routing machine token is a very easy to use, compared to the extra time it takes to write a PLINE. The only downfall with this token is the inability to add a lead in to the route. This is an issue because we like to try and avoid

SMA issues with OEM '23

How do I disable Lock Drop Front Distance

Display Scaling for High Resolution (4K) Laptop Monitor
I recently obtained a new laptop that has a 15.6" UHD (3840 x 2160) display. I am having trouble getting Microvellum Toolbox to display correctly with Windows 10 High-DPI scaling. The Windows 10 recommended scaling setting is 250%, which is ridiculous because everything ends up so large, there is hardly any screen real estate. I have tried setting the scaling to various settings, but the only two that seem manageable are 175% and 200%. However, at those settings, Microvellum Toolbox is a bit of a

Seismic / CSIP standards

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 between
Anyone 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. So, the setup

Hardware Machine Tokens Not Applying to Drawer Box
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 restore

FEATURE REQUEST: Check if W.O. is currently open before creating new W.O. of the same name
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

Base Cabinets - Top Cutout with Full Top
We have been looking at switching over to the Foundation library from the Component Library. One thing I seem to be missing is the ability to add cutouts to the top of base cabinets when using a full top. This is our preferred assembly method. I have

FEATURE REQUEST - Extruded Hardware that draws in 3D and optimizes to get a quantity

L shape solid rail

Starter 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. Kind of like using

FEATURE REQUEST - Separator Bar in Prompts/Wizard
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
We have a few instances where we would like to be able to input a date into a Job Properties, Wizard, Globals, or Product Prompts field. We could use a fill-in-the-blank control type (1), but would really prefer a calendar entry field like the one below
