Horizontal Drilling Depth Issue
Newbie here The dowel holes in MV are set to 28mm depth When I open the MPR file in woodWOP, the holes come in at 20mm depth. The holes stay at 20mm no matter what I change on the MV side. The MPR file (notepad) shows a value of 28 for the depth [H VERSION="4.0Ability For .mprx CNC Output
Adding ability to produce .mprx files in G-code to keep up with newer WoodWOP versions. Gives operators better variable support and data manipulation in components vs the .mpr output..mprx vs .mpr loading into WoodWOP
Anyone have experience with the .mprx format? We updated the tool file extension in the settings to .mprx, which changes the file, but produces an error when trying to load directly into WoodWOP. Just curious if anyone else has had this issue and figuredFeature Request: Onion Skin only Small Parts with Multi-Pass Tooling
We have been working on dialing in our tooling strategies lately, and have had great success with a maximum pass of 1/2" while using 1/2" tooling. A majority of the material we work with is 3/4", so that's running two passes (one at 1/2", one at 1/4").Make Saw Cut Last
How would i make the saw on our Biesse machine cut last? I use it to trim the offcuts into a sensible handling size and not have silly shaped pieces, however since ive been doing this it uses it fairly on in the cutting process which has led to a fewWhere to adjust the router in/out angle
When MV creates our gcode, our operators have been telling me that the in/out angle is too steep and has been causing issues. They just change it now at the machine but Id like to fix it so they dont have to spend the time to do that every route. LooksDistance Between Lead-In/Out - Is this controlled somewhere?
We are running into a major issue with moving the setmill for part borders. The standard lead-in/lead-out has a gap of 0.25 inches between them. However, when using the Move Setmill tool in the Nesting tools that gap goes to zero. After updating/creatingHow Can We Move Part Border Machining to First Operation?
Admittedly, tool files and posts are not my strong suit. However, I'm in need of a simple process that can be easily trained in engineering and at the CNC. We need to have a Processing Station, tool file, and post that will put the part border operationCustom tool profile not applying - cutting all material to full depth
Hello, I have several panels where I want some edges of the back faces mitered at 45 degrees. I originally accomplished this with the miter machine token which accomplished the look in model space but did not appear in the CNC nesting. As I understandLooking for someone using Nesting in Northern Indiana
We are a small cabinet shop in Northern Indiana, and have a panel saw and a vertical CNC. We are looking at getting a nested cnc to replace them both. If you are using the nesting module with a nested cnc in Northern Indiana, I'd love to take you to lunchSplitting Panel
Some of my panels exceed the sheet size limits for nesting. Is there a function in Microvellum to automatically or manually split them?How to align cabinet doors for sequence on grain material

Wondering if any knows if the post processor can trigger an external exe file at all? We use an external program called Cobus for single part parametric programs and when it runs the post, i can make it trigger an external exe file (sending in a few environmentalIs it possible to have a processing station (or toolfile) reject parts that are too big?
We have a Homag nesting bed and a P2P Weeke. Our Homag can only accept things up to 61x121 sheet size. P2P can go up to 144. The problem is programming doesn't get any errors or warnings about this, accidentally sends the parts to the wrong machine andMetal Laminate

How can I change the bore machining diameter of from woodbox drawer backs in the library settings? I have changed it manually on each product but cant find the table where the value of 6 is taken it from and doesn't match my drilling tools.Onion skin all parts on the CNC Router
I have a question concerning settings for Processing Stations (Router). There is a setting for "Small part handling" to "onion skin" the small part. Is there a setting or a process that will onion skin all parts that process to the router?Border Method: Setmill Location
You can set this to be left, right, top or bottom but I would really like to be able to set this so that the setmill location is always towards the center of the sheet so that each part remains connected to the main sheet for as long as possible. DoesTOOLFILE'S- in name only
Does anyone else wish toolfiles were just a list of tools? It seems to me that toolfiles and processing stations would operate a lot more easily if ALL settings and options were stripped out of toolfiles and moved strictly into processing stations. IToolPath right click options
Back in the day (90's) I was using an application that when you right clicked on a toolpath it would flyout and let you change the tool, feed rate, depth, spindle rpm and priority I thought it was great. I know we can do all that now but it was so handyBHX 500
We are about to set up a BHX 500 which is a horizontal CNC that can do two parts at once (drilling from opposite sides) when they have the same shape and size. I'm very curious how this works and what the machine file requirements are, does anyone haveAuto Assign Rules
How do you use Auto Assign Rules at you company and Do They Work Efficiently? I only use them for Horizontal Boring since there is an option Parts - Horizontal Drilling Only I want to separate parts that do not have Face 5 or Face 6 to go to my Saw butmulti-pass tool with onion skin
Hi all, I have set up a multi-pass tool to do 3 passes, how can I tell it to still leave an onion and not do a through cut on the final pass? Thanks!Hinge Cup Pocket Routes
My hinge cups are set to be machined as a pocket route but when the data is sent to WoodWop these operations are coming in as Vertical Routing. I want to have a specific router bit (3/8" Compression) to route all my pockets including the hinge cups. ICollective Error - Using Update Existing Machining & GCode

Riddle me this. Yeah I know this is a little long but humor me please. Why when we need to make step cuts are we still generating code that has an index move fore each cut? Why is this? Here is a simple square with 4 steps and the MV generated code. 55Part Not Appearing on Nested Report
