Copy and Paste in Edit Design Data - Please Fix this issue.
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 thinkingErrors
Anyone else getting theses types of errors more and more consistently lately? Seems to be fine for days and then we just go through a string of errors that all seem to be related to the work order creation.Microvellum Freezes and Crashes
Hi everyone, I've been having issues where Microvellum continues to freeze and crash. There are times where it will freeze and I have to manually shut it down with the task manager. Once in a while it will just exit on it's own without any type of warning.Solid Model Tools/Analyzer Need Serious Work
I jumped onboard the Solid Model Tools train when they were first introduced in 2014. They were a game changer for us. Over the years these tools have evolved; and in many ways, they evolved for the better but have never been perfect - and I don't expectUnacceptably long wait time for tech support
10 to 14 days (minimum) waiting for tech support to address issues with BSB or Microvellum in general. Are they too busy for a courtesy email or call to let me know wait times are long? I have serious production and software problems that aren't beingSolid analysed Parts twisted in the "draw parts in 2d" and in the Nest.
Scince the update from 2019 -2020 Solid analysed parts are now often twisted in the "draw parts in 2d" and in the nest. Is there a solution for this or a setting that will prevent this? I continued using 2019 as I could not use 2020 because of this issueAssociate Products to Wall - Selection Confusion
Is it possible to change the operational description when using "associate to wall" so that it says "select wall"? When you are expected to select a wall, it says "select objects". It is misleading and I've learned the quirk, but new people have theItem Number value preselected instead of Width value when adding or editing cabinets
Updated from an older build to the current build (ie. from 23.1.1120.641 to 24.1.1001.641) and whenever a new cabinet is added or Product Prompts is used, the preselected value is now always the Item Number as opposed to how it has always operated previously,3D Solid Model Analyzer -Processing
Hello, Has anyone ran into the issue after creating a product with the Solid Model Analyzer, I get this error while processing. "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". Image Attached.New Microvellum on BricsCAD User - Challenges with AutoCAD-centric Training
Hello everyone, I'm a new user working with Microvellum on BricsCAD, and I'm finding the official training videos, particularly those in the "Plan to Production" playlist, challenging to follow. The videos are great, but they're demonstrated in an AutoCADToolbox BSB Crashing
I keep having issues with the program crashing. Even changing views (top to right) it gets real buggy. Its now to the point where I can not place a wall in a room and it crashes. Any recommendations would help! Things I've tried: -I have reverted backProduct/Item Number Scaling Issue
I'm having an issue with the scaling of my product/item number. When I was putting in a cabinet I was getting a ton of different scales for my dimensions and product/item numbers *see attached* and it was a long process to go and manually change the scaleEDD (Edit Design Data aka Parts List) opening up Subassembly doesn't select correct sub in list above in Local Product
When EDD opens a subassembly that was selected in the 3D MV Product, it doesn't select the correct subassembly in the list above. This can mislead and or cause errror and confusion. It opens the sub you have selected but has selected above whateverGrain matching and grain direction issues..
We have a large job where we need to grain match across several cabinets, including horizontal grain on all doors and FEs. It does not seem to be working properly and I don't know where I am going wrong. Any insight will be helpful or should I createSheet Stock Optimization Priority
Knowledge Base (Overview: Materials in Microvellum) notes "If all sheets have an optimization priority of 1, the system will optimize to get the best yield using all the available sheets. Numbers greater than one will optimize as materials are needed."Text prompts don't save when cleared.
If you have text in a text prompt and need to remove it you can't just delete all the text, you need to have something in there or it will not save. This has been an issue for as long as I remember but I've worked around it by just using a single spaceTitle Block address not populating from Project Properties
My address is not auto populating from the information in Project Properties. The Job Name, Job Number and Contractor are coming over correctly, but for some reason the address is not. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to fix this?Excess Material
Does anyone else cut their parts oversize on a nesting cnc? I have discovered the below solution, but it only works for straight parts, not for anything that requires a curved polyline. 1. Set Edgebanding material to have a part size adjustment: MakeDistance 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/creatingTurn off Route lead in
Is there a way to shut off the lead in for the back dado route? I have tried setting the value in the global settings to 0, but the lead in is not affected. I have a machine that wants to add its own lead in and it doesn't like that the "geometry intersects itself". I tried going to Biesse and addressing it with them since it only does it on certain size parts for some reason, but they wanted to ignore that part and just say its the lead in from Microvellum. Has anybody else experienced this or knowMV Development - Subassembly name references in product prompts
Some product prompts reference subassemblies by name, which is a problem when we save new subassemblies with a unique name to avoid overwriting with updates. The unique subassemblies are not recognized. Example: OR portion of the formula in the valueSolid Model Parts Need To Reference Perpendicular Corners
So, when creating a product like a curved die wall, where the stud profile has a toe kick notch, and possibly a counter notch, some of the parts will nest slightly rotated - this is caused because the program is trying to figure out how to cut the studDuplication error
I Keep getting a weird duplication happening with my units, its hard to pin point when, but in this scenario, it is a 80% custom unit. It happened when i had closed part editor, used the prompts page to then adjust the height of the unit to make surePROBLEM: New Custom Product Data Cleared After Renaming in Product Viewer

Whenever I bring in an HPL countertop with backsplash and finished ends it gets drawn in 3D like a wedge. (see picture). When I process it, it seems to look ok on the cut sheet. Just updated my build by the way. Any ideas?Workbook precision not holding
Has anyone run across their workbook precision for numeric values set to 0.0 and when you switch to workbook designer and change the precision of the cell formatting to 0.0000 save the workbook and reopen, it's reverted back to 0.0?Importing projects BIG PROBLEM
BIG PROBLEM with importing projects. I have been backing up projects weekly. I decided to import one of the backups so I could retrieve some products that were ruined.

Hello, I am having issues with using a 1/4" diameter tool for cutting 1/4" thick material. We use a 1/4" downshear bit say Tool # T1332 to cut our G1S melamine. In the material file I have set the Code for this material as T1332|T1332 to override the tool selection to use the T1332 bit. The code spits out everything fine, except that the distance between parts is our standard .5625" set in our processing station "distance between parts". I am new to version 7 and am versed in version 6_7. In versionItemNumber 3D positions are whacky...
The new Extruded Master Part & Extruded Master Countertop seem to handle positioning of the ItemNumber in 3D space differently -- yet the formulas are the same. When the ItemNumberX3D & ItemNumberY3D values are changed, no positional change actually occurs.Molding Token
I'm trying to get an extruded part as a molding token but I'm having issues with part placement. See in GREEN the part without the Molding token, in the correct position. Then in RED when i add a Molding token, i did not change the position or base points,SW, SE, NW, NE commands no longer work
Hi, I can no longer use SW, SE, NW, NE in the command line to change my view. This occurred after install the new Toolbox 2023. Any ideas! Thanks, Braniff K.Corrupted Configurations
We have a problem that our configurations become corrupt and need to be reimported.

hey all when i go machine a lock the route hole is cutting on the outside of circle is their a way to make it inside hole? see screen shots attattedPart size changes on nest
I have just noticed that the part size can change when nesting, specifically when you have a closed tool line border that extends past the size of the part. when I nest it it changes the part size from 794mm to 801.5mm, as the spacing between parts onNext Page
