Has anyone been successful in working the prompts to accomplish properly adding the tilt out. Can't figure out what to uncheck/check. Three attempts and no luck. It works easier when using a 2DR/1Drw Base.Hardware list preview
Is there a place to preview the hardware list similar to the "Parts List Preview" prior to processing a project in MV?Scribe fillers on sloped ADA cabinets

I'm an MSP and we use an AV which slows down the use of microvellum because its scanning all the files that get edited and created. Does anybody have a list of the folders that Microvellum uses consistently to add to an exclusion list to fix this?Work Order Label Barcodes

Hi guys, my new collegue made a drawing, which somehow has 1.000.000 objects when I audit. It's horrendously slow, but I can't see how or why there are 1.000.000 objects. I tried purging, but to no avail. Any clues or tips?Artificial Intelligence and Microvellum

I don't think I've ever wanted to create stuff for the CutParts Wizard or Edgeband Wizard.
