Work Order History
It would be nice to be able to see all of the work orders a product has been released in. We're doing a hotel and releasing by floor. The product list shows the last work order something was released in, but does not have a history of ALL work orders
WORK ORDER - PART QTY
Sometimes parts are damaged and need replacing, this isn't too difficult to address when there are single parts, however when workorders have been made with multiple products there are multiple parts also made in the workorder. Is there a way to change
Feature Request: Auto Purge Unused Dim Blocks When Redrawing Product
Once in a while, my drawing starts to crawl and stutter. I usually purge unused stuff fairly regularly, but it would be super nice if MV could tidy up after itself.
Trueshape Nesting
I haven't been keeping up with the forums, but I didn't see a recent post about the trueshape nesting. Is this still being worked on? Here is some feedback. I have an issue with the following type of optimization. Maybe I need to play with more settings
Drawer Handle Distance From Top
I see in the microwave drawer base cabinet this option is available in the product prompts however on a standard drawer bank cabinet I find myself having to go into the subassemblies. We have most of these dimensions pull from our Wizard, however shouldn't

Adjusting Toekick
Hello- Im in the process of trying to adjust the workflow. Our current ADA sink base comes in with this toekick on it. How do I change that to a plastic quick-toe? Right now everything is a line drawing that has to be changed after the fact.
Sheet Number
Good morning Is there a way to automatically get page numbers to flow through my drawings? I have tried creating a block, but I'm not sure what to add to it. Thanks Nat Update: My bosses now want to know if there is a way to get it in the format of "X
Rebated Tab Pull
I thought when you use the rebated pull, the door would be machined for it. My cross section does not show it?
Drawer Parts Calculator
Hello All- Im not sure if this is possible. We currently have a job where several drawers will need to be hand cut. Is there way to generate a parts list without creating the product? A spreadsheet would be great. I would really like to be able to enter
New Product Prompts
Is there a reason why we can't have the same 4 buttons for the Product Prompts that we have for Edit Design Data? I shouldn't have to check or uncheck when i want to redraw the product.
Unacceptably long wait time for tech support
10 to 14 days (minimum) waiting for tech support to address issues with BSB or Microvellum in general. Are they too busy for a courtesy email or call to let me know wait times are long? I have serious production and software problems that aren't being
How to Contact Bricscad with Software issue
How do you contact Bricscad when you have a software issue when you"re fairly certain is not an MV issue? I think stand alone Bricscad has a built in support button but I don't see it in MV(which doesn;t really make sense). In my case it looks like the
Solid Model Tools/Analyzer Need Serious Work
I jumped onboard the Solid Model Tools train when they were first introduced in 2014. They were a game changer for us. Over the years these tools have evolved; and in many ways, they evolved for the better but have never been perfect - and I don't expect
Access Panel machined at OUTSIDE of case
Wondering if it would be possible to get an option added to the Access Panel subassembly to flip the access panel to the outside of the case instead of from the inside?

People of Australia
I'm curious if this is just us or a country wide thing at the moment, how is your workload lately? We are particularly quiet at the moment and it's not showing signs of improvement at this stage. I'm sure the Iran/US war issue is playing a part with all
Is this possible with just the extruded product builder?
It has dowels in the top and bottom plates and the ends are not perpendicular to the radii. What's the best way to go about doing this? I have it made in 3D but we don't have the 3D analyzer yet.

Add a "Date Created" to Work Order Management window
I recently watched a lunch-an-learn about using the Database management tools and one of the things they covered was Work Order Management. While watching it hit me that it would be great for this window to have a column that could be sorted by "Date
Sync database over multiple locations
For those that have engineers in multiple locations around the country / world, How are you syncing databases across all of them? If one location creates customizations to a product how do the others know about it and access it? From what I know there
Corna Support

Product Update Request: Soffit
1. It would be nice if there was an option to do more of a full depth product (Upper Cabinet Depth) with separate bottom plate cleating and blocking. This allows the front bottom plate behind the face panel to be finished while the rear can be a raw material.
House Construction using Microvellum
I’ve been developing my own products for nested based high performance house construction and wondered if anyone else is using Microvellum in a similar way? Is this a direction MIcrovellum would consider moving towards considering the enormous market
Updating Drawing Information Dialog Box
Ok ... why?? Copied a room from (1) category to another, rename new room to new name and copied drawing file. Open the room and this box NEVER goes away no matter what, Why???
Cumulative document of all 2026 MV Build Release Notes
@Clay S. Can we please get cumulative document for all the 2026 release notes? Similar to all the other years. Thanks!
Title block not populating from project properties
I changed the property value to be something that was less confusing and now the info wont populate across the drawing. Unfortunately, I know enough to try to make the change but not enough to fix it. I can still add info to the blocks by double clicking.
Feature Request - Pilot hole only construction method
There are many times I've wished for parts to get machined for pilot holes that don't match the properties of the 'Screw' construction, where we usually use confirmat screws (8mm face drilling and 5mm edge bore). Could we possibly get a new Pilot Hole
Material Takeoff withou Work Order

Is it possible to edit the Composite Drawing default
Wondering if it's possible to edit the Composite Drawing default for how the text is laid out under the nest pattern. As some of our material names are long it covers the Yield value as seen in the Composite Original jpg. If possible I'd like to change
MVTB7 Launch Prompt and Error
Weird error ... How I got to this was ... missed / didn't click Continue upon opening AutoCAD and then MV. So got into AutoCAD ... type MVTB7 (like I've done before in the past) and this error comes up. Double checking the NETLOADMVTB7.lsp it shows this:
FEATURE REQUEST: Window Selection Mode to Follow CAD Behavior
Many operations inside of AutoCAD (and I'm assuming the same with BricsCAD) allow for object selection but will automatically switch to a window selection when the user clicks in space. This is very efficient. Currently, many of the commands in Microvellum
Feature Request: Maximum Button for Part List Review
It would be nice to have a Maximum Button to fill my screen for the Parts List Review dialog box. This should be standard on all dialog boxes.
Cabinet material different the door/drawer face material
Cabinet material = PB Door/drawer face material = MDF Large educational project. Is there a way to do this globally instead of manually changing material on each and every door/drawer face? Currently in BSB, but Imperial Component Cabinet Library v0
More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
Hey everyone, I think we can all agree the current "one vote" system is a good start, but it doesn't always show the full picture. Right now, a minor "nice-to-have" that lots of people upvote looks exactly the same as a "major workflow killer" because
Changing Current Configuration
I think it would be nice if there was the option to change the current configuration without exiting and relogging in. It would be nice if maybe you could do it from the tool bar also.
