Nested Base Processing Station Settings
Hey all, I am trying to get some quicker speeds out of our CNC and have been playing with the processing station settings trying to find a good blend. Currently we have the attached picture as settings but it seems sort of slow. What are others doingHow do i add a Global Machining Token to specific parts?
I am currently producing cabinets with pilot holes and applied backs. In the default setting in Microvellum i only get pilot holes on the top and bottom of the back which would have screws placed into the bottom edge & the top stretcher/upper top edge.Router Spoil Board Penetration Value Keeps Reverting Back
Since updating to Build 23.1.808.641 from 21.X The Router Spoil Board Penetration value keeps reverting back to 0.01 which is -0.25mm. We had it set for -0.2mm or 0.00787" once converted to metric. We key in 0.00787" And it changes back 0.01 once goingLooking for help with Custom Prompts to be added to a report
Hi, I've been trying to add some unique prompt values to some reports but they always result in blank or 0. I checked the Master Class and added relations. I'm following similar steps that I took to add Global Values which work great, but the ProductSetting Drilling Speeds
Is there a way to specify the drilling speeds for drilling? We are drilling drawer fronts with the drills boring all the way through the drawer face for the handle. We are getting "blow-out" on the opposite face due to the drills being set to Slow-FastMicrovellum Made Easy: Understanding Cutparts

Probably an obvious fix here, but,,,,,,, ive drawn an open cabinet and when i nest it, the face material is allocated to outside and not inside the cabinet. is there a setting somewhere i can change this, i would assume an open cabinet would automaticallyCorrupted Configurations
We have a problem that our configurations become corrupt and need to be reimported. The users that stay signed in most of the day or don't ever switch between libraries don't see the issue but the more they switch the more often it happens. I manage threeInserting Prompts in Edit Design Data
I am trying to insert a prompt in between width & height on my filler product. For some reason inserting this prompt here is causing the filler to move up. Is there something hidden with the width, height, & depth prompts that they have to stay in rowsHas anyone had problems with long scratches on a board while the CNC marching is running ?
I'm not sure but, I guess it happened because of the drill bit height so I changed the bit length on the CNC machine. But still the same deep scratch happened.. I am looking for a setup page on Microvellum, does anyone else know about it?Sub Assembly Prompts Command

We have tried formulating the Include Routes in Borders setting in the toolfile. This works fine if your layer name is ROUTE (which is what we were keying off of).
