Custom product drawing incorrectly
Hi everyone, I created a couple of custom products for our shop, but when I draw them in, the parts all draw above the z axis; in the attached photos the one product is drawing 11 3/4 above 0, and another one is drawing 10 1/2 above 0. I check the HeightFEATURE REQUEST - Change/Improve the sorting of formulated materials
It appears that formulated materials 1st sorting criteria is the material name, rather than the alias, even though the alias comes first. It seems odd (and unlike any other programs I've used) to have a list that is sorted by the 2nd object in each line,Hinge plate 3d models
Anyone knows what is causing the hinge plates to be soo huge? Please see the attached picture. Foundation Library 21_0630DIVISION SETBACK IN FOUNDATION LIBRARY
The Division setback Variable is missing in the globals. Also- I think the default for G!Division_setback should = G!inset_top_and_bottom in addition- the local variable should default to= G!inset_top_and_bottom+G!Division_setback The above will resultFEATURE REQUEST - Sort alphabetically in Library Designer
I know that this happens on subs. I'm not sure where else it might occur... The subs in Library Designer do not sort alphabetically, and it is therefore extremely difficult to locate the sub you are looking for in a list of hundreds. We'd love it ifBenefits formula driven material?
Hello! I am setting up the new foundation and going through everything. I came across formula driven material and never have understood it. The KB articles explain what it is, and how to edit/add but not when is the best to use them. Is it strictlyWeird Routing
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here? This is a single door sink base. I have R and L finished and I cam getting this weird routing on the LH end only. Its happening on one other LH end as well. I have no idea what it is and I can't get itPerfect grain for Wall Panels
Hello, I could not find any information on how to have panels matched on custom sequence matched sheet stock. I found a video for kitchen doors. Nice, but how you do that when your container is 20'x15, spanning across multiple sheets of material thatLibrary Tool Paths and spindle direction
Trying to find a way to change this Tool Direction before it kicks this out from SMA? Any Ideas? AttachedQUESTION - What are the rules/restrictions on MV item numbers?
Things I've learned: - There can be no alpha characters after the decimal (we tried that once and it crashed our stuff). - If multiple special characters are used before the decimal, MV no longer auto-generate the next item# correctly when a product isPLINE Machine Token Parameter 4 [options], What are the options?
Here's the PLINE token in the parameters list. In parameter 4, what is this [options] cell supposed to contain options for? I ususally leave this cell blank, but am having some serious trouble with some ROUTE tokens not nesting right, though looking goodFEATURE REQUEST - Searching in Library
It would be great to be able to search for fields of a material. For example hardware in the hardware library with a material code. The search will pick up the name of the hardware item, but not names or numbers within the material code.FEATURE REQUEST - Update Library through Library Designer from .SDF file
Library Designer has become a very powerful tool for mass changes and manipulations. It has also allowed all of the cutx information to be housed in an Sequel Database which opens the door to additional avenues of change through queries and find andBest way to change the size of Doors/Drawer Fronts when using institutional RPC 5-knuckle hinges?
We recently ran a job using institutional RPC 5-knuckle hinges. In toolbox the door sizes and location look fine. We have the proper outside and vertical gap reveal. During the install though we found that while physically hanging the doors the 1/8” center gap (pair of doors) was basically gone and the doors were rubbing. This happened as well on single doors but the finished edge reveals basically turned to “0”. The only good explanation is variance in the manufacturing of the RPC 5-knuckleFEATURE REQUEST - Library Designer update to show qtys where used
We would like it if Library Designer could show a total quantity next to the "Parts/Products/Subassemblies Using This Item" text. The zeroes could be left off, but for some of our most commonly used prompts, in particular, we could use this qty for doubleHow to update the Product List (Overdrive) when Wizard/Global sizes are changed?
How can the Product List (Overdrive) be updated when the formula value comes from the Global/Wizard file? Example: The base cabinet depth changed from 573mm to 588.5mm. The Wizard is updated to the new 588.5mm base cabinet depth. When reopening theAggregates
Hi everyone, I'm always amazed at the diversity among all of the MV users and was wondering what everyone is doing for aggregates out there. We have a nested based Weeke Vantage 200 (5x12 Table) and have always ran a Benz Duo with a miterfold cutter attached.Export room not whole project
Is there not a way to just export a single room inside of a project instead of the whole project. I have projects with a lot of rooms and would like to export just a single to send to someone and can't seem to do that in the utility. I get that I canSMA Routes & Nesting Default parameters
Are there any parameters to control how a default polyline route is created when using the Solid Model Analyzer? We are having issues when we place our SMA parts on a nest, the routes are not picked up correctly and instead of converting the border routesBlum 25mm slide spacers have no machining
Has anyone ran into this issue? The slide spacers that MV has in the program all have machining except the for the blum 25mm. This is a problem because blum no longer sells the other sizes, only the 25mm that we need. We normally deal with it and do itMaking custom Hardware & adding it the the Hardware Library
We use a custom Toekick Bracket for all of our Attached Toekicks. How can I add this to our Hardware Library and have this show up in our Products when the Attached Toekick is used. And add pricing to this to show up in our Job Costing Report. I've lookedADA Sink Angled Frame - Scald Shield Route Issue ? - Finished Front vs False Front
When using the regular False Front, the Scald Shield and the Scald Shield Route line up and everything is fine. But when we switch to the Finished Front and remove the False Front it pulls the machining for the Scald Shield Route forward by the thicknessStarter Unit
Good Morning all, Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I'm green to MV (10) weeks now. I created a tall starter product with 2 bays, roll outs on the bottom and 2 adj. shelves up top With (1) tall door on a 6" base platformHow to change the Machining Token default settings?
How do I change the parameter default settings of Machining Tokens? The attached image shows the default settings for a Straight Line Routing token. The default Tool Number {7} is 101. I want to update the tool number to reference a Global value.Allow Machining Tokens that are made for specific hardware to Allocate that hardware.
This would allow us to have one token that knows how many times it is used and how many pieces of hardware it needs. And if it gets turned off, or changes the qty of holes drilled the quantity of the hardware allocated would change too. This would saveFinista Swift Draws

We don't do a lot of face frame cabinets so I am still trying to get familiar with the framed library. I just got caught in a mistake that made it out to the shop. The toe notch did not calculate for the hardwood face frame. The global setting has aShaker door
Hi, We have an issue when we increase the rail size on this subassembly where we lose the insert panel? Must be a bug in the code but not sure how to fix itCopy a Specification Group when importing from xml
I have one Specification group in my template. When I import an XML project with multiple group of colors can we take the default specification group and copy it for every group of color I need? Thank youFEATURE REQUEST: Updated Edit Material UI
The images below illustrate some enhancements I think could provide some clarity and eliminate any confusion, as well as help streamline the button order for editing materials. Simply removing "size" from the buttons for the sheet properties helps reduceSpec Group Prompt when new room created
It would be great if MV prompted you / asked you which spec group you would like to use for each new room you started. I'm always going into Overdrive Pro (Product list) to change the products into the correct spec group once I realise that the incorrectSMA does not generate parts correctly
Is it just me or you guys also have the problem with SMA not creating all the parts correctly? I opened I ticket but they blamed it on the path but could not explain why some parts are generated correctly while others are not...from the same path. IfProduct Issues: Shelves with Shelf Std
We have been using the "Shelves with Shelf Std" product since we started with MV a little over 3 years ago. As long as we stick to our regular KV87's and do not change shelf depths manually we have found a way to made it work. But recently we have neededHas anyone added Hafele Axilo leg levelers to hardware tab and applied machining?
I am having some difficulty adding these leg levelers in addition to the ones already there. It appears there is something more advanced going on in the spreadsheet than just regular hardware item. It makes the bas assembly its own subassembly and usingPocket Penetrating Cutouts Setting
Does anyone how the Pocket Penetrating Cutouts Setting should be set? I have mine set at 12. This might be a change in the 21.1.420.641 build as I know I had a in depth service request to make this function how i wanted it. Now my round cutouts up toMV Export WO programming logic
I hope this doesn't come across as negative, but I just spent 3 hours clicking the yes button that I'm not getting back. When you want to export and delete the workorders, it makes you check each on individually. I can live with that. But, if you checkExport Material Pointers
In the latest 21.1.0420.641 build, adding a new way to import materials into an existing library is a long waited feature that finally became a reality. Thank you Microvellum. Another feature that would be great to see would be a way to import materialAssociative Dado Machine Token - Reverse Direction
I cannot reverse the direction of the router for the Associative Dado Machine Token by changing the value in Parameter 2. Has anyone have the same problem and was able to solve it? I am using Microvellum OEM 2019 with Build 20.1.617.641. I do not remember trying to change the dado direction since upgrading from V67 a few months ago. I know in V67, it worked. But in V67, Parameter 2 was only Reverse Direction unlike the new Toolbox which has 3 options. From reading the release notes of previous builds,FEATURE REQUEST: Add W x H x D at Top of Edit Design Data
There are times when you're deep in a product and you're trying to verify calculations based on the product's width, height, or depth values. Having those values displayed at the top of Edit Design Data would be very helpful and eliminate having to navigateAdd ability to Copy Formula Driven Material, at minimum when in Advanced Library Setup
This would be helpful from a library development standpoint. Right now its tedious to have to create another material that is exactly the same but with minor changes, because you can't copy a formula driven material. I understand it's probably not neededNext Page
