Hi, Just wondering, if we have a Door Sample product and someone puts it with a QTY of 2, it only appears once on our report. We dont want to have the Doors and a quantity listed next to the item number. Is there a way to get it to appear twice on theFace 6 Boring Modification
I have a custom product that has several divisions, the bays can have any one of three different sub assemblies. This all works well except there are times when when a division has shelf line boring on face 5 and assembly holes on face 6. I realize thatNew Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 24.1.0219.641

When we export a 3D model in IGES format, we get lots of information in the part name for hardware, but none for solid cabinet parts. Is there anyway to control / get more useful information about cab parts in the name?

We updated our Microvellum to 2023 from 2020 recently. We noticed that the text size (for DRAWTEXT) does not match the dimension scale when redrawing sections with a different dimension scale. The DRAWTEXT drawing token appears to be not working properlyRoom Audit running beyond slow
Hi, Has anyone run into an instance where running Audit (Y) has run soooo slow that it's taken more than an hour to get only 6200 objects in on Pass 1? I have a draftperson's project with a single room that is at that point as I type. Upon opening thisDraw Block

Would anyone have a 3D model of the Ives 580 Ceiling Hook? We have EPCO CH301 graphic that comes stock with Microvellum but Ives 580 is slightly different and has a different drilling pattern. I am trying to update our drawing and machining to be correctSpoil Board Penetration

Howdy all, Just wondering if there is a way to do perfect corners routing on custom nests when using Nesting/2D Machining Tools or any other method?Adding Appliance
Id like to add a few appliances to my library, i can get the 3d .dwg from the manufacturer, but have no idea how to add it into MV. thanksSolid Model Analyzer - Machining to All Parts
I noticed on newer Microvellum Builds that when I Solid Model Analyze a 3D model, all parts have machining (routing) even the basic rectangular parts. In older Builds, simple rectangular parts did not have machining assigned to them. I am not sure whichOEM needs more fuctions
So for whatever reason I just realized now that I can't use the "REPLACEBLOCK" function in the OEM version because it doesn't come with express tools. That's sorta a huge thing. Why doesn't it come with this?Importing extruded molding CUTX file through data base explorer
I imported an updated version of our extruded crown through data base explorer. When I try to use it, there isn't a pick points option any longer? Is there a special prompt value somewhere in the extruded crown spreadsheet that I need to "reset"? NewReport code fix (String to Decimal)
I'm trying to round a value, but its giving me an error. We're not wanting these to be 4 decimal places. The Round(Data,int) seems to work in most other places. Thanks, -JamesUnderstanding "Units"

It would be nice if there was no need to have to check the box for a redraw. The purpose is to make change so why is there a need for the "check box" One less click means faster productivity!!Foundation Library
We're just getting our feet wet with MV, and was wondering about the prevailing opinion on migrating to the foundation library. From what I understand it's not on parity with the traditional component library, i.e. no face frames, but is it feature completemax buildup variable
can someone tell me where to change the prompt for countertop buildup? the default is 16 and i want to change it in my library.Exporting Tool Strip
I read on here a while back we can export the tool strip on the Toolbox menu bar however I cant find the reference for it. Does anyone know how to export this per person? We might be doing a bunch of software reinstalls soon, and this could help savereport designer
can someone explain how to go about changing the page size on existing reports? i know how to edit individual reports but i would like to change the default paper size for some of the reports we use the most.No Back Holes on F.E.
The problem I am having is when I select a Finished End, It drills all the holes in the side of the cabinets except for the holes for the back. I cant find where to adjust this. I have finished ends in construction options set to screw, is there anotherCam Holes For Drawer Fronts
How would I go about changing the drawer front cam adjusters to default to 4 of them instead of 2? I would like them to be roughly an 1 1/2" in from the sides.New Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 24.1.0207.641

Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to make the Dado machine token draw only? We use FF Dado to Fixed Shelves/Vertical Bays, however production doesn't want the CNC to cut that Dado... they have another machine to do it. Is there a way I can set it toCreate 2 additional options to hide elevation and section dimensions
For people who use dimensioning via paper space. There is no simple way of turning off elevational dimensions or section dimensions unless you turn off some or all of the 2D_Instructions. Currently under options there is only an option to turn off 2DSplit Machining
Is it possible to split machining between processing stations? Example: Face 5 3mm diameter holes drilled on a flat table machine, and 8mm diameter holes drilled on a pod & rail machine? Don't ask me why, I know it seems counterintuitive. Thanks, RyFoundation Library - Drawer Box Rear Gap Setting
Hello, Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can modify the "Drawer Box Rear Gap" setting in the Foundation library? It used to be a global setting but now I cannot locate it...

When selecting a group of products in Product Viewer and selecting to redraw select products from database, there is a noticeable lag any time a product has a different spec group than the one previous to it. It would seem that if the program could doCCL Refresher
I haven't used CCL in well over a year and I need to make some changes to section views in a library. I forget where the door dim and gap dim is located. Need to move them in to be only 8" off the face and not 24". And would prefer to do it "GloballyLimit Size Range on System Drawers
