Item 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,

How do "Gaming" Graphics compare VS "Professional" Cards

Does Microvellum have or create a master CAD file that has all the layers drawn?
Just like the title says does Microvellum have or create a master CAD file that has all the layers drawn? This would be so that we could have a master file using all the drawing layers so that we can't accidentally purge a drawing of all the to be used

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 to

How 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...
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?
Adding Machine Token for Valance

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 ;)

hastag on nest sheets and cut size

Subassembly "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 cause
