I really enjoy doing my prompts/programming through the Part Properties window. Just easier for me to see what each entry prompt versus looking at cells.

Ok ... Why is this so hard to do in FOUNDATION LIBRARY? (Maybe it happened in COMPONENT LIBRARY too??) Base or Tall Cabinet ... Cabinets for a big project are going in BEFORE flooring ... so customer whats all the BASE and TALL cabinet to have 7/16" extraEditing Descriptions in Parts File
How do you edit the descriptions that print in the Parts Drawing after running a work order. We are wanting to add the Edge Band information to the list that prints with the Parts Drawing, similar to how are DXFs print, but are unsure where to go to changeHow to add a Multi-Pass to our VCUT Bit
Looks like our CNC operator is telling me we need to have this be setup as a 2 pass operation whenever want to use this bit. I dont know how to either set up the route token to pass twice/setup 2 routes tokens that drop down as needed. Or just easierActive MV User

How many times have you pasted a formula into Edit Design Data and select Save, Close and Redraw? Guess what, it doesn't save it and now you have to do it all over. For some reason EDD doesn't recognize this change, so you have to "trick" MV into thinkingWiki
More of a general question: This detailing job has more info than I can keep in my head, Especially info used like once a year, Ended up making a folder for every supplier/company to contain their specific info, (150 suppliers), Then have a word documentSolid wood doors
It has been a while since I've had to change the doors to solid wood slab doors. Since there are so many ways to do it in MV, what is the best method? Change the door material pointer to solid wood material or change the door style to something? LookingMicrovellumWorkOrder & MicrovellumGeometry
Installing a foundation library on SQL Server to run beside our component library until we can transition. Assuming i can just create the “MicrovellumWorkOrder” & “MicrovellumGeometry.” databases but name them differently for the new version. Leave theOverlay top and Rails both selected
I wanted to have top rails that are overlay but was told that isn't possible. However both are now selected and i don't know how to unselect them. I went to the spec group but can't select it there. Any thoughtsTwo different size screws used in construction is it possible?
We currently are using screws and dowels for construction. Conformat screws (7mm) used for construction of top/bottoms and ends. We want to use a smaller screw (3/16") to attach the back to the sides. Is there a way to specify two different sizes forBase_Door VS Base_MDF_Door
Can someone explain the difference between these two? Base_ door and Base_MDF_Door. Is the Base_MDF_Door, one that gets routed out to look like a 5 piece door?Composite file shows all parts under one product

Another pretty niche one but one that I think come in handy for the advanced users. There is another software we use that gives us an option to run an executable file upon the generation of a program. This has the potential to come in very handy for afterHardware List
If I wanted to print a hardware report of all of our hardware in the current library, is there a way to do that? Specifically talking about all of our hinges so we can just look at the report to see if the hardware numbers are correct?Q: How are feature requests prioritised?
Just a question around how feature requests are actually prioritised now. Is it mostly based on likes and engagement, or is production impact weighed separately? I ask because writing a proper forum post takes a fair bit more time than submitting a ticketProduct 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.left/right drawer fronts still not labeled
so i saw that on build 25.0319 they added left/right part names to drawer parts on a side by side draw config. but we are on 25.1121 but are drawer fronts still aren't labeled left and right. is there a prompt i'm missing?V-grooves on MDF slab door
