FEATURE 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: Dark Mode
Working with Microvellum 5-10 hours a day I think it would be nice to have a dark mode available. Personally I run everything in dark mode since it is easier on my eyes and would like an option to do in Microvellum, especially in the processing stationFeature 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&MFEATURE 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 comesChange 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 ourFEATURE REQUEST - Save and close product prompts interface without redrawing
I would like the option of redrawing a product (or not) after making changes to the product prompts. I know in the product list you can access the product prompts interface and make changes without the redraw each time. But this would be a great timeFEATURE 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 - 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 noCancel 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 - Printable Comments
Something i've always wished we had was a way to convey information on a nesting patter that comes through onto the report drawing. I assume it would work in the following way, user draws something in 2d, makes it a specific colour on a specific layerFEATURE REQUEST: MV Clipboard for Drawing Tokens
There are MV clipboards for parts, prompts, machine tokens, subassemblies, and hardware. These are great tools to help speed up work and keep things consistent - especially when you're needing to customize a product, or if you plan to update your libraryFEATURE REQUEST: Dark Mode for Forums and KB
I don't know if this is possible or not, but I'd love it! This page is the brightest window I have open. In low-light environments one may need sunglasses to view this page. HA! But seriously, it would be nice. Anyone else? I know dark mode has been requestedMV Undo Command
I feel like it would be extremely useful to have a MV Undo command, Maybe there are some major technical hurdles here but it seems like one of the biggest improvements to useability as a new adopter... Adding this from the comments below for better visibility.FEATURE REQUEST: Ability to Organize Project Folders
In an effort to streamline and organize the Project Folders, it would be helpful to have some folder structure options within the Microvellum Toolbox Options. For example, having the options to organize room CAD drawings and 2D Part Editor CAD drawingsFeature 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.Feature Request: Parts List Numbering
how hard would it be to number the rows in the 2D drawing interface so we don't have to count down the rows for the part being edited in the viewer...Revert 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'sFEATURE REQUEST: Add Grain Direction Field to Parts Review List
Because, let's face it, a "G" in the material name doesn't always mean someone set it up correctly or didn't change it for some unknown reason... Trust but verify.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 beFeature Request - Prompt organization options
Hello all, One thing I've noticed since I've started working in Microvellum is that prompts are fairly limited in UI organization options. While I appreciate that there's colors, tabs, and different types of control types that allow for some organization,Subassemblies - Project/Product/Row Level Colors on Workbook Designer
A nice feature of the Subassemblies menu are the green, yellow, and red color codes that let you know if the subassembly is unique or not. The work book designer has the same color code, BUT ONLY IF you are viewing the subassembly. It would be nice howeverWe need different wall types
We all draw islands, and it's always easiest to draw the elevations using the "draw wall" command, but the wall in the floorplan shows a solid wall. It needs to show a dashed line to properly display on the floorplan. We should have a new wall typeFEATURE REQUEST: Update the command line help text for “Associate Products to Wall”.
When using the Associate Products to Wall the initial prompts simply says, “Select objects:”. This would help in training new users while also being more accurate and specific in the command. It would be helpful and correct if the prompt was “Select wallSplash 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.Temporary Processing Station Changes
I would like it if changes made to the processing stations from the processing center were not saved outside of the work order without being prompted. Sometimes i like to make tweaks to the processing stations for a specific work order and it would be nice if i didn't need to remember to come back and undo those changes later. Basically when you hit OK on the changes i would like a popup that says something like, "would you like to commit these changes to the tamplate?" or something like that. OtherwiseFEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Sections
The Draw Sections tool is okay, but it could be better. It'd be nice to have an additional distance setting that would be used in more of a SECTIONPLANE/BOUNDARY type section. This would allow the user to create a cut in a section and only have the partsChange Room Automatically when you change tabs
It would be very nice to have an option to allow us to change the current room when you click on your tabs.FEATURE REQUEST: 2D Machining Tools Improvements for Composite Editing
The image below shows some improvements that would really help speed up working in a composite drawing. A big one that I would really like to see is the rotate part to always rotate 90 degrees clock-wise (you could essentially rotate it a full 360 byImproved Subassembly Prompts Selection Window
When using the Subassembly Prompts tool and then selecting a part of the desired subassembly we are greeted with a window asking if we want to view the nested prompts by clicking "Yes" or the parent prompts by clicking "No". Every single time I see thatFEATURE REQUEST: LISP Routines Please!
I know I’m asking for something that probably isn’t going to happen, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway. I used to have a ton of LISP routines that helped us speed up our processes. Some were very simple, others more complex. But the need cameToolbox 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: 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: Enhanced “Fill Wall with Products” Functionality
The current “Fill Wall with Products” method allows a user to define the quantity of a single product type, then calculates widths based on the wall length (subtracting left and right gaps). While useful, this functionality is limited when designing moreFEATURE REQUEST: Allow Batch Overwrite For "Create New G-Code"
When editing a nest that is going to a machine with auto-labeling you currently cannot update g-code because the information has to be completely reprocessed for the labeling to work properly. This forces you to "create new g-code" which does not allowMeaningful Unhandled Exception Error Messages
This seems to be a very basic request but it would make life much easier if the 'unhandled exception' type errors gave some meaningful information about the cause of the error. The stack trace provides low-level programming information, but that has veryFeature 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").FEATURE REQUEST: Access Prompt Values Column Data from Subassembly Prompts
OR OR I'd be fine with any of the options.Trim Cuts
When cutting a sheet that has both face 5 and 6 machining, we machine the face 6 first as a full sheet. Microvellum does a trim cut for a reference edge before flipping, however this cut is a full depth pass. Is there a way to control this so that itBetter way to create/update SQL CE configuration
We work with a ton of clients and need to be able to get a clean copy of each customers MV configuration in a SQL CE format. Right now the "correct" and into proper way that I know of to do this is through the transfer tables tool. This issue with thisChanging 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.Next Page
