adding Knape & Vogt 3d drawer slide drawings to library
Hey everyone, I've added KV8400, KV8505, KV8450FM, and KV8650FM slides to my available hardware options, and I have the drilling for all that working correctly. I'd done this with Component as well, and I'm re-doing it now that we're switching over toPDFs Report Output Large
All of a sudden PDF Nesting Reports are 10x larger in file size than before?? PDF outputs of say the 'Nesting Optimization Report' use to be like 300 to 400 kb and now reports are kicking out like 3,000+kb (3mb) - For like 17pages ... What could be changedNew default specs
Hello, just a quick question. Is there a way to update or move our existing project to the new default specs settings. Without re-drawing the cabinets. Thanks, EderwinDrawer box
Hello, Please help trying to fix my drawer tongue and groove it seems there's extra lip that couldn't get rid off. please see attached file for sample and setup. Thank you, EderwinI'm OUT!
At the end of this month I am leaving the industry. Going into semi retirement in a field that doesn't involve Autocad or Microvellum. I'm ready, I'm tired. I will miss working with Microvellum I mean I've been dinking with it since 2007, learned a lot.Thankyou
Just wishing all a merry Christmas for the tech's and other users Also a thank you to the techs for your help through the year as not all problems are easy, here having 4 different machines also would make it hard at times. Some long on going problemsOverlay Cab Rails
Any way Microvellum can add Base cabinet Overlay Rails. We normally have the rails sitting on top of the side gables not in between the gables. Its a basic simple option that was in the older components library that has yet to show up in the foundationHow to write a formula for a kerf cut Machining
I can only think of using Polyline machining token for this kerf cut. User imputs prompt " arc length". But formula seams to be never ending? P1|P2|(If arc_length /0.5-1>0,P3|P4,0)|(If arc_length /0.5-2>0,P5|P6,0)||(If arc_length /0.5-3>0,P7|P8,0)|etc...End of Life Announcement for the Component Cabinet Library
Hello, Microvellum Community! We have some news to share with you regarding the Component Cabinet Library... .......... Effective October 1, 2024 We are officially announcing the End of Life (EOL) for the Component Cabinet Library as of October 1, 2024.3D drawings are not accurate
There was a time, not so long ago when MV would make 3d drawings that would show the radius on inside corners produced by the round bit. This was 100 percent accurate. Not long ago, this was changed to draw the 3d drawings to show the inside corners as square. I don't like this because the drawing and the product do not look the same. Just my humble opinion. Anybody else feel this way?New Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 24.1.1206.641

I would appreciate some insight on how to add the correct Token and the formulas needed. Any help would be appreciated. I have added Associated Const.

I recently updated my library and the new hardware items were added into separate folders named after the library build number. Is there an easy way to merge the newly added library hardware items into the existing folders. see attached screenshot forReturned from Vacation and my Sandbox has random user names (none of mine) and I cant log in
Is there a way to disable log in to Microvellum? My sandbox should only have my name and a few local users but for some reason it has reverted to some weird version. Anyone know how to bypass this?Library designer help - adding new prompts to selected products
Foundation 24.1025 I've added a couple of new prompts to the master cabinet and want to add these new prompts to all other cabinets in the library that share similar prompts. For example, the master cabinet has a prompt "Right Applied End", when you clickEdgebanding Thinkness Library Change
So people don't have to go through the trouble I did, at some point after the October library update, the edgebanding thickness defaults changed to a Negative number. For example 1mm thickness was 0.03937 is now -0.03937. For anyone using any of the defaults,Angled Cabinets
Pretty disappointed Microvellum doesn't haven't an easy way to handle outside mitered cabinets in this situation. Maybe some of you Microvellum Gods can come up with a product where the side angle can easily be adjusted for us simpletons ;)Calculation speed of different functions
Would anyone know which of these would calculate the fastest? {=IF(Rib_X_List>0,Rib_X_List)} =LARGE(Rib_X_List,COUNTIF(Rib_X_List,">0")) Or is there be a better way to find the smallest none zero value in the list Rib_X_List? Thxhastag on nest sheets and cut size
Just recently we had one of our operators bring up an issue where the cut size and finish size on the label doesn't match. We have a pre-mill on our edgebander so these two sizes should always match. If your running 3mm eb on your parts then you cut offSubassembly "Row Value" Keeps reverting to garbage data (Without Prompt Value Override)
Has anyone seen this? I've seen it about a year+ ago. After reporting it to Microvellum they said to just create a junk row and "ignore it". The problem is, now the bug is back and its picking other rows to invalidate. Its sneaky, random, and can causeNew Option to "Open All Drawings" at once within Processing Center Nest Options
Not sure if there is a way to do this already or if its been requested before. But when I am reviewing Nests within Processing Center in order to open the Nest drawings, I have to go back through the menu each time and open the drawings individually.New Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 24.1.1125.641

It would be nice if in the tool file, the tools could auto-sort alphabetically/numerically, or have the option to sort by tool# or by tool name or something. Right now, they are in the order in which we entered them, but that makes it harder to locateSQL Server alternatives for Unified WO Database, MySQL?
We are looking into gathering data from our workorders, but the cost of SQL Server is too much for a side project with potential but no firm payoff yet. Has anyone tried using MySQL or other SQL alternatives? From this description it sounds as if thereCabinet Width growing at back
Has anyone had issues with Cabinet widths being greater at the back compared to the front? Cabinets are often 1-1.5mm wider at the back. Is there a simple fix for this?Domain Controller or Virtual Machine?

We just started to switch over to Microvellum and I just learned how to add a pull to a project/library. The video i was watching apparently was for older versions and anything newer I cant seem to figure out where to add the elevation/section 2d drawingsCTRL + TAB keys closing software
Cannot switch between layouts with CTRL + TAB. I am getting a fatal error when doing so.Button Fix Hardware Add
I was wondering if microvellum could maybe add button fix to the hardware list in the library. We have used the button fix type 2 for removable panels that have tight reveals and cannot have much lift off. I was debating on putting them in our libraryUsing multiple Z depth option for the associative hdwr PLINE token?
I tried using the multi depth option in the asso-hdwr pline token (parameter 9) for a deep mortise but it seemed to break all the other tokens in that hardware (all the other route had a Z depth of zero)... Has anyone used this option successfully? Alsohinge selection and plate boring Foundation Library

Hi guys, my new collegue made a drawing, which somehow has 1.000.000 objects when I audit. It's horrendously slow, but I can't see how or why there are 1.000.000 objects. I tried purging, but to no avail. Any clues or tips?Edit Design Data - Force Grain Direction
