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?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.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 "DateProduct 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.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 HoleMaterial Takeoff withou Work Order
we create our material takeoff based on the work order summary of a project to figure all the sheet goods, banding, hardware, etc.. To do that i generate a work order called the project name then material and go through processing it just like i'm sendingFEATURE 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 MicrovellumFeature 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.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" becauseChanging 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.Toolbox Login Screen - Revamp
This might feel like a small change, and in some ways it is, but a few tweaks to our Toolbox login screen could deliver a lot of benefit... The biggest thing you’ll notice in this mock-up is the new sidebar. The idea is to give users a quick way to seeFEATURE REQUEST: Adding Intellesense for Prompts/Material Names
When writing formulas/updating you have to either have that prompt memorized or go through the Name UI and find what you need. Sometimes you have to do this multiple times throughout and can be annoying. It would be amazing if there was a way to add anRevert Cell In Product Prompts to Default
Would it be possible to add an option when in Product Prompt or Subassembly Prompts where you right click on a cell and there is a "Revert to Default Value" option that puts the cell back to the default value or formula for the spec group? Maybe it'sChange the Distance Between Parts functionality in the Processing station
Would it be possible to have the Distance Between Parts prompt in each the nesting processing stations changed to a distance to add to the nesting tool diameter instead of a fixed spacing? We occasionally select a tool with a larger diameter than ourGlobal control for Division text
Global options to display Elevation and Cross Section division text would be nice. We don't want to display them and need to delete the values in three division subassemblies with each library update. Build 25.1.421.641 Foundation 25.0813Delete work order after export - select to agree to all
Hi, Decided to do a bit of house keeping and zip and delete a load of old work orders. I've selected close to 100, ticked zip to export and ticked delete work orders after export. Big mistake! Now it is asking me if I would like to proceed to delete eachCancel function when processing work order
Sorry if this has already been suggested. How many times have you gone to the work order creation window and hit process then realised you have missed something and need to cancel but cannot. If it's a large creation, this can take many, many minutesFEATURE REQUEST: colored parentheses in formulas, similar to Excel
When inside a formula, Excel uses different colors on the parentheses to indicate which pieces of the formula belong together. This is very helpful when you have an invalid formula and need to figure out if you have missing parentheses. Excel Example:FEATURE REQUEST: Show Formula Button for "Height Above Floor"
Feature Request: Show Formula button for "Height Above Floor" Dear MV Team & Community, It would be awesome to get a "Show Formula" button when right clicking on the "Height Above Floor" Field As every time i want to use a formula in there i have to openFEATURE REQUEST: Add Machine Token UI to Edit Design Data
If you've ever worked in the spreadsheet (Edit Design Data) and needed to add a machine token, then you understand the frustration of not remembering what parameters 1-9 are for each token that exists. The spreadsheet is not user friendly when it comesFeature Request: Repository for custom product sharing.
It would be amazing to get something like many of the 3D printing websites have where we can upload and share products, hardware, machine tokens, and all the other awesome things we all create. I know someone spent the time and did a bunch of the A&MGlobal prompt control for turning off Reveal dims in sections
In the 2D Instruction for drawings there are a Top/Bottom Reveal dim in the section drawings. It would be nice if these were tied to a global prompt to turn them on/off as a default. When adding tops and other information to base cabinets the revealsFeature Request - Exe trigger upon processing
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 afterFEATURE REQUEST: Scribe Filler Tweaks
Feature Request: Scribe Filler Tweaks Dear MV Team & Community, Heres my proposed idea tweaks that can be made to the Scribe Filler with Cleats Filler Part Name --> Show on part reports whether the filler is a LH or a RH filler e.g. you have a 2 DoorFEATURE REQUEST: Defined Ranges for Spreadsheet Columns
It would be great if the other columns in the spreadsheets (CutParts, Hardware, Subassemblies) were defined ranges - similar to the defined ranges for Panel_Width, Panel_Length, Panel_Qty. This would be helpful too for all the hidden columns (A thru P),Feature Request: Relative coordinates in vector formula
Would be handy to be able to use relative coordinates in a PLINE VECTOR formula. In the example below, the # symbol denotes the previous coordinate in the corresponding plane (X). =VECTORS(PNT(Panel_Length/2,10,Thickness_Door),PNT(#+100,10,Thickness_Door))Feature Request: Integrate Underpanel as Subassembly within Upper Cabinet Product
Hi everyone, There is currently an underpanel product available in the library, and we use it on nearly every job. However, it must be manually inserted and positioned each time. Given how commonly underpanels are used in upper cabinetry, it would beToggle Button for leaving Paste Name window open
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. One thing that gets tedious is constantly having to open the Paste Name window after a single selection.Add More Star Hanger Hardware
We like to use the Star Hanger 320's for many things as well as others that aren't included in the libraries currently. We would like to see more Star Hanger products added.FEATURE REQUEST - Allow Ramping For Tongue and Groove Back Dados.
I just watched a lunch and learn about tool files. The guy said if we are using a tongue and groove method for our dados, which we are, there is no way to ramp them. There is a global variable that allows for ramping with dados, but it does not work forMake Top Cutout as a Global option
The title says it all. Please vote yes on this.Splash Screen
Would it be possible to set it up when you type in your password, and then hit the ENTER key that it would allow you to continue? Right now you type in your password, then you have to use your mouse to select CONTINUE.Feature Request: Face Rendering Finish
It doesn't happen very often, but it would be nice to have more granular control over the display. add a prompt to the Wizard: Face_Rendering_Finish within the Finished Faces subassembly (and related subs), change the Rendering_Finish prompt formula from:Feature Request - Work Order Notes
It would be super handy to add a "Notes" line when creating a work order so that when we go back and look later on at the same job with say _2 or _3 etc we know what they are for. For instance, say i process an order with 12345_1 and 12345_2, i have noFEATURE REQUEST: Global Variable --> Vertical_Front_Rail_Width
Feature Request: Add Missing Global Variable --> Vertical_Front_Rail_Width Dear MV Team & Community, It would be awesome to get a Global variable for Vertical_Front_Rail_Width. As every time i drop in a cabinet with a vertical rail i have to change thetool/part clash on composite
I may be living in dreamland here but.......when moving parts on the nest (almost every job) to get a better yield, due to some of our parts being different sizes by a few MM, and human error, its very easy to missplace some parts when selecting whatFeature Request: Top and Bottom Nailer Z Offsets
In order to tack the thin backs to the Base Bottom and Base Rear Rail more efficiently, we've always moved our Nailers a little. I added globals: Base Top Nailer Z Offset Base Bottom Nailer Z Offset Tall Top Nailer Z Offset Tall Bottom Nailer Z OffsetFeature Request - 2D Elev Token WYSIWYG
I would love if there was a way to have the 2D Drawing instructions have an option to instead of just a rectangle show for example cutouts. Right now, if I have a door they I add a cutout to, that doesn't draw in the 2d elevation and I have to manuallyFeature Request: Add a tool to open doors and drawers
Adding a feature like this would allow you to view the clearances of doors and drawers in relation to other doors, drawers, and products within a project. For example, in corners where products are installed on two adjacent walls.Feaature Request: Select File Dialog Product Prompt Control Type
I want to allow users to select the .dwg file for Profile/Molding/Turning tokens via the Product Prompt dialog. Currently they have to open a file explorer window - navigate to the ....\Local\Microvellum\Toolbox\R7.0\Microvellum Data\Graphics\ProfilesNext Page
