We are having issues with onion skinning leaving a lip on the bottom edge. But only on one side of this part.(See Pics) It doesn't look like the part moved because the lip is on the side where the lead in-out is on.

As of January 5, 2020, Microvellum will officially stop producing maintenance updates for Toolbox 2018 licensed software. This decision to end the development of software updates for Toolbox 2018 aligns with Microvellum's development strategy to includeOptimization Priority using Yield threshold
In microvellum, you can add multiple sheets sizes to a material and then use optimization priority to tell it to only nest a part on a size if the part wouldn't fit on another size first. This is great if you wanted to, for example, only use 4x8 material unless you absolutely needed a 5x8 or 4x10 or something else. That being said, I often have nests where the last few sheets could have better yields if they were 5x8 instead of 4x8 even if the parts fit on 4x8. This is usually a result of tall cabinetForce sheet size for work order nesting
Hi, I have a material 19 WD1 Plywood 1s, a stock material from Toolbox under Veneer Plywood that has both a 4'x8' and 4'x10' sheet size. I only want to nest my job on 4'x8' but it always uses the 4'x10'. How can I, without copying the material and thenReference Updates

Currently, when analyzing custom products from the Solid Model Tools, the parts come in using similar BASE POINTS. To an extent I understand that this is probably the easiest way to tackle the analyzed parts. However, there are times when I will use the2D drawing
would it be possible to add line numbers to the 2D Drawing interface?XML file format for a Selco Panel saw
We own a Selco panel saw and ever since we switched to Microvellum as our design software we lost the ability to print an on demand label with a part picture on it.

=IF(Right_Num_Plate=1,"MITER 3 5",1) This seems to be making my mitre a 1 or 0. I would like to set a condition that if the Mitre is a 0 and off it doesnt draw the parts after it in sequence.

Having the ability to apply materials to all layers in a drawing would be great, especially when using the Solid Model Tools to create a rendered view of a custom product - often, for submittal purposes, a view like this is needed before any final productCentering Drawer Slides on Drawer Box Heights
I am very new to Microvellum and am trying to center the drawer slides on the drawer box height (vertically) for each drawer... I understand that MV uses manufacturer specs to locate things like this, but we have always centered the slides and would like to continue doing so. Our most commonly used slide is the Accuride 3832. Thank you, JakeAutoCAD Error
I am getiing this error and wondering if anyone has a fix for it. It is an issue in my AutoCad and not Microvellum. As soon as AutoCad fully loads, this screen pops up and locks up the program.Working Remote
I think there was a discussing on this topic a while back but can't seem to find it. But when working remote, what is the best/easiest way to transfer your work from your home system to your work system?"DIM" not showing preview in annotative dimstyle in OEM2020
When using annotative dimstyle in OEM2020 it doesn't preview dimension when placing them. This only occurs when using annotative dimstyle, and that is all we use.

Is there any way to view the routing priority commands once applied, or even, before applied? If not, this would be an excellent feature within the Route Editing Tools expansion window. It would be nice if I could click on a single part and see some info for the various routes instead of having to read the code.Additional Profile Links for Social Media
First off, I'm not sure if members of the community are aware that they can add a link to their social media accounts or not. You can. However, I think most community members would benefit from providing their LinkedIn account. I do not see that as anGlobal Setting For Defualt Sheet Stock Trim Values
Time after time, I see people ask if there is a quick and easy way to setup a new library and change the edge trim for sheet stock Materials. You have to do one at a time and if the boss says "change it" you cringe. Can we outfit the shipping library with a default from the material prompts tab that allows a user to change the sheet trim with one value? Of course, any customized sheets would not necessarily apply.How can i get an item number to auto populate in a plan section view?
When i draw a toe kick , the 3d drawing has the correct item number in the item symbol block. Then create a 2d plan & elevation view and they have the correct item number in the item symbol block. Then when i draw a 2d plan section view, the item symbol block appears but has 0.00 for the item number. Is there a way to link the item number to the item symbol block in the 2d plan section view so it auto populates with the correct item number, like the other drawings?Restore a Deleted Product
Is there a way to restore a product that is deleted from MV using the "Erased Product“ command? It is a custom product i worked from the product starter half way, then i accidentally erased it. ( the icon is kind of similar to the one for Redraw ehh...) Thanks!Express Tools

When creating a diewall, the stud electrical cutout is too deep. Where is the default, so I can change it?Looking for some formula help.
=IF(W!Standard_File_Wood_Drawer_Slide_Selection="Grass Dynapro 16",21,20) is the formula for our Max File Drawer Depth in our Global Variable file. I need to change this so that, if the drawer slide is Grass Dynapro 16 or Grass Dynapro 19, 21,20). I can't quite get my head around the syntax to add the "or Grass Dynapro 19" to the formula. If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. Also, if there is a good reference for this syntax, I'd be grateful learning that too.Next Page
