Report that shows parts with dowels or ideas to link missing barcodes to machine parts.
Anybody have a report that shows parts with horizontal boring and barcodes? One of our guys forgot to apply the dowel machines when nesting. Now all the parts are ran and the barcodes are missing from the labels. I need an easy way for them to scan theReferencing Value

So, a little bit of a background first as to why I prefer "Prompt to Update Section" vs having MV do it automatically. The biggest reason has to do with the instability of AutoCAD's AUTOSAVE and the operation of drawing sections. Another reason is thatOffset dowel holes for fixed shelves
Currently, I am running MV 2023 Library 50.7. I cannot find the setting to turn off the dowel offset on finished and unfinished ends when it comes to fixed shelves. It shows this code in the machining tokens for fixed shelves "=Dim_To_First_Dowel_Hole+Offset_Dowels_On_Left".Feature Request: Command Line Commands for Modifying Parts

Not sure if this happens to others as often as it does for us, but it seems like 25-50% of the time when we analyze a custom product that has an angled end, and subsequently an angled dado, the angled dado will produce an error in the g-code for our Morbidelli.Adding Doors and Drawers into openings in a product created in Solid Modeling Analyzer?
