Is there a way to edit the Subassembly List?
When altering subassemblies through design data I've noticed duplicates and obsolete Subassemblies appearing in the Subassembly list. Is there a way to edit these? I use the subassembly clipboard which is a great tool but would like to remove obsolete32mm construction
Hi MV community, Does anybody have any recommendations for resources, books, e learning on 32 mm style construction for cabinets?Saw containers?
Can anyone tell me what is going on here ? I have 3 sets of doors on a 4'x8' sheet , two sets cut complete and the last set is on a container that has to be spun and cut again. They are all the same identical. The image is coming off of the saw softwarewhere is this tolerance setting ?

Has anyone here setup the CompX Regulator Locks and would possibly be willing to share or give me some advice in the setup? We have a job coming up and they are requiring these locks. In a test job I have the lookup table for these setup for verticalU Shaped Sink Drawer Box ...
I'm sure this has been asked / discussed before (I can't easily locate any posts...) But has anyone tackled the U-Shape Drawer issue for sink cabinets? Like this?? I'd like to see how people have done this before I start tearing into a new sub assemblyFlatshot Competing Command's

For example, we use a Shelf Standard KV 82 White 78 in. . What we actually order is a PRO DSPROSPRDBL-78WH. All I want is to have the PRO name show up on my hardware report for ordering. The lookup tables don't seem to have much on these particular hardwareFlat Shot Origin point
Why is there such a great distance from the products origin point to where it is placed?what software help streamline processes related to manufacturing, time tracking, etc, and it's compatible with microvellum
Hi guys, Do you have any recommendation about what software to use to help streamline processes related to manufacturing, time tracking, job costing, task tracking, project management and more, and at the same time it's compatible with Microvellum. RightExample of optimization
I have attached an example of the need for the ability to nest parts within parts. Large window area 61.5x25.5 that is cut out. There are a lot of parts on this project that would fit and to make matters worse there are a lot of these on this project.Drawing Countertops
Hello all, I am looking for a tutorial about how to draw countertops. I assumed there would be one on this knowledge base, but after searching "tutorial countertops" and coming up with nothing, I thought I'd ask. I have attempted to draw some (withoutAdding Item Numbers to 2D Drawings
G,day All. I have added draw block 2D Item Symbol to my cross section 2D instructions promps in Edit Design Data. I am unable to get them to reflect the original number of the sourse product. Any help much appreciated. Cheers. PS. I am using MicrovellumScrap Parts should not increase yield.
I have noted a few times where the program decided to use a 5x12 instead of a 4x8 when all the parts on the 5x12 would have fit on a single 4x8. This is caused by the fact that scrap parts are considered as if they increase the yield of the sheet. Therefore,EPB PLATE JOINTS

The scans follow the wall detail so its not a perfect arc. My problem seems to be that when I go to create a boundary from my scanned points to create my part shape , cad does not like all the vertices and starts to do different weird things. I am assumingExpress tools meniu
Hello, Sometimes when I make drawings I need commands from the menu Express Tools. I saw on YouTube that the "acetmain" file needs to be uploaded. Can anyone tell me if they have done this without any issues with how the Microvellum program works? TCopy in Product List
Hi I though it was a bug and was later fixed in recent build, but we used to be able to copy cabinets from room to rooms in the Product List tab and they would keep the same items numbers. But after a update, now the items numbers keep incrementing.Reversing the direction of the tool direction on 2n passage.
Hi, actually we are getting the lip on the board while CNC machine does its second passage on the board. One of the technician told us that if we reverse the direction of second passage it will go away. So my question is by any chance someone can pleaseDivide an Arc
I'm looking for some tips on how to divide an arc. I am using the "DIVIDE" command, but it doesn't seem like it is doing anything. I also read that after the "DIVIDE" command, you should use the "DDPTYPE" command to get the division points to show. WhenTrash Pull Out
I'm sure others have done the same. But, I made a simple trash pull out for customers due to the supply shortage on the KV ones that we normally order. Curious to hear what others do and what other members cnc in house versus outsourcing.Error: Index was outside the bounds of the array
Every once and while we get an item that constantly errors upon edits and redraws "Index was outside the bounds of the array" Rebuild the walls, rebuild the product, make adjusts and it recreates the item but continues to error. Any ideas of what to checkAdded Zero layers while working in EPB
Can someone explain how/why these layers are automatically being created, while I an working in EPB?SMA Not working Correctly
We are experiencing a issue when using SMA See attached. It seems to be kicking the part out slightly skewed? The Previous version worked fine for this? Its showng in the Part properties as well.FEATURE REQUEST: Pocket Mortice Token
The Pocket Mortice Token is great but I would like it taken to the next level. I need this token to have the ability to adjust the route depth and be able to adjust the edge bore Z height. This will make it so this token can be used for 1/2" materiPocket Mortise Token
Has anyone used the pocket mortise token in MV? It shows it as an associative token. I started playing around with it and can't get it to work. Anyone have any success using this token? The reason why I'm asking about this token is because productionChanging Shaker Doors via Sub Prompt.... Sloooooow
Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow population when making changes to a nested sub assembly? To change a shaker door to say Face Panel Qty from 2 to 1 takes up to 2minutes every time. I've done it via the spreadsheet but when I refresh the productHelp!!!!
Unfortunately, I am not the MV wiz. I just spent almost 3 days working on a project with 13 rooms all to get ready to plot the drawings and MV went into "thinking" mode and never plotted them. I am notorious for saving every 5 minutes or so when working.Wish List
My I would like to see Microvellum add this list: First on my list is optimization,l MV does a pretty good job, especially with square or rectangular parts, but when you start to get odd shaped parts things can go wonky. What really exasperates me isLimitation of Custom Cabinet in Foundation Library
Hi, I have been peering at different versions of Foundation Library and am very looking forward to making the move. But it seems it has limitations for some cabinet configurations. I tried a few ways to make the attached cabinet and have no luck yet.Joinery
Can anyone tell me how this would be joined? I have been a cabinerd for so long and have seen this in a couple instances and just can't figure it out. It seems to be edge banded material cut at 45 degrees but how is it solidly put together? No there areWorkbook Designer / UI Update Question
If I go into Workbook Designer to add a bunch of comments to some materials, for example, after I save and close WD, I'll go and check through the other interface that the comments show up but I never see them. But I can go back into WD and see the commentsSMA and mutli layers ?
I have a group of parts that I used the SMA tool and converted to a product . The part grouping is coming in as one layer, which is fine. From here I would like to color code different SMA products for my organization products, visually. When I changeElvNoDim prompt issues
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it just doesn't work. I have tried this prompt on 2 products so far and have had mixed results. Kicker base product will add an extra dimension when turning this prompt on. It doesn't work at all on theShaker door Multitool vs associative parametrics

Greetings – I’m a sysadmin tasked with spec’ing a replacement server to support Microvellum (amongst other roles). I have reviewed the “Microvellum Server System Requirements” document at https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/microvellum-server-system-requirementsPart nesting , change base point?
I did a quick search but came up empty handed . Is there a way to prioritize CNC part nesting to use the top left point as a point of origin for parts on sheet goods? As is we are using the standard lower left point.Rollout guides not showing up on hardware report
What am I missing when trying to populate the rollout guide in the hardware report? Normal drawer guides are there. Rollout spacers are on the report when the are added to a product.Next Page
