Fixed shelf dowel depth at a Division
Hello When two fixed shelves are separated by a division the dowels on the fixed shelves interfere with one another. I know about the offset dowel option in the global variables. The issue I have with that is the offset creates the need for the part toghost in the machine

Hello, I came across what I believe might be an issue today with custom dowel spacing on finished ends. From my digging, it looks the Foundation Library update 23.0623 added a new formula for to the dowel hardware tokens for cabinet bottom/stretcher/nailersDado Machine Tokens
We use a saw to create our dados on our tops, bottoms & sides for our back to fit into. So I've set this up with our dado clearance below: I'm running into an issue where an extra pass needs to be added and it won't add it. Is this machine token limitedLatch Timberline CompX Double Door
Does anyone know where to find the machine tokens for the Latch Timberline CompX Double Door in the Foundation Library? This latch is not listed in the hardware library. I did find it in the "H Look Up Table" under Secondary locks but it only lists theVirtual Boring Issues
I am struggling to understand why the drilling isn't doing what I am putting in. I am sure its something I am missing but I am not able to get the proper boring following the article/instructions. I want the boring to be 1.3125" from the edge, 1.5625"Product Starter Bay Options
I am trying to find out if there is a way to add other options to the bay. I am wanting to add double doors to options for bays. I am trying to make cubbies with independent and lockable doors.Unified Work Order Database
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. Is the author assuming I'll export all active Work Orders from the current database in Database Utilities for Import via the TransferSQLCegap at thick back dado
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
=UCN(<value1>,value2) This function is found in the new Foundation library and looks to be a type of IF statement where <value1> is for Imperial users and <value2> is for Metric users, but they don't necessarily have to equal. Is this true and can anyoneProducts Saved in Wrong Rooms
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 flatshotno drawing?
When i go to Nest Options / Open Drawing there is no .dwg. Where are the settings for this? There used to be a setting that controlled whether you had all nest in one drawing or a dwg per material. I think it was in the processing station? I can'tBugle Guide

I have recently imported a library from one of our clients and for some reason, the spec groups are not working properly. In "Library Specifications Group", I get: As you can see, there is no Project Wizard or door wizard. I do have a project from theHardware Token - machining two non-adjacent panels
I'm trying to add a new hardware item for a closet rod.

I'm looking to modify our box bottom clearance. Is there a global location for this in Foundation? Currently comes in at 1/2". I'm trying to achieve the 3/8" per image.Drawer Box Dowel Spacing
We use a specific spacing for our dowels and screws on our stretchers (5"), nailers (4") and everything else. (See attached pic for reference) We are moving to the foundation library 23.0210 and I need to set it up to match what we currently use now.How can I modify the 3d tab pull models to change sizes?
We are routed and drilling for emtek edge pulls and I want to copy and modify some that are already in the system. All I need to do is change the length and move the holes in 3d (I can handle the machining tokens, etc) but I just want to see it accuratelyCan not add library to library designer

Since you can array in both X and Y on a bore token, it would be great if the same thing could be done with the HWR array token. It would help us out a lot for things like z-clips, standoffs, etc, to be able to use a single token to product a grid of hardware. Please let me know if this exists and I am not aware.FEATURE REQUEST: move 2D Tokens onto their own tab (not with Prompts)
I'm sure this would be a big undertaking, but it would be helpful if the 2D Drawing Tokens (and Virtual Routes, etc) were not on the "Prompts" tab. When moving prompts around, it can be cumbersome to make sure that you are not messing up any of the stuffCOMPOUND ARC
does anyone know a quick formula to find a compound arc laid flat? for instance, i have a piece of bending ply that is wrapped on a frame and the frame is angled on one end. i'm trying to find the arc for when the piece is laid flat. i know there's aRoute Array? Is it possible
Is there a way to route multiple holes in a pattern. I know I can drill multiple holes using the bore token, but can I do the same thing using the routedhole token? Some of our products have a through hole w/ known spacing, however when drilling, we getImporting (Updated) subassembly from library?
Hi, I've edited a subassembly in a project: I've added some prompts & optional parts. I've saved it to the library, but now I'd like to use it in an existing project. But, how? I can't find a 'revert subassembly from library' button :( cheersFind and Replace Refactoring
Is there anyway to run find and replace on a selection in the workbooks? Here's what I'm trying to do: I have some machining for in wall brackets on a floating shelf. I have the product set up with prompts so that I can enter the field measurements andProduct X and Y rotation
Currently there is just a single product rotation field. which rotates the product in the Z axis, but there isn't any rotation field for rotating the product in the X and Y axis.

can this be added to inside the cabinets like in the toe kick options tab rather than just in the subassemblies prompts.Troubleshooting SMA
Is there a way to identify a reason why a part is coming in as invalid? In the past I had found the Maximum Part Size was set too low, and that remedied a previous issue. Now I'm working with curved diewalls, and similar parts analyze correctly, whileWhere is Post Laminate Product Prompt?
We use Dado and Screw construction for most all our cabinets. This requires us to post laminate our cabinets when needing a finished end, along with some finished bottoms, tops and backs. I am unable to find the prompt that controls this setting in thePLINEs with multiple offsets in Parameter 5 lose their pocketing ability
If you offset a PLINE only once (without curly brackets around it), the option for making it a pocket will hold. However, if you offset it multiple times (which requires curly brackets around each instance), the PLINE loses the pocket option you triedHow to track what exactly has been engineered inside of cells
To keep track of which cells have been edited, we change the fill color of the cell in Workbook Designer (each engineer has a specific color). That way, others know that cell has been engineered and who did it. When possible, we also copy the old formulaCloud Based SQL Server
