Copying Prompts From one Cabinet to Another
How do you get a Prompts Tab to copy from one cabinet to another? In the Screen Shot Below, we set up a "Signature Accessories" Prompt Tab for our Wall Cabinets. We are then saving these wall cabinets back to the Library building our own company specificLeft and Right "nailers" are different lengths in my corner cabinet?
Hello Microvellum Community, In a previous post I mentioned building a library of corner cabinets for my company. I am not sure what happened but my nailers are coming in and being drawn at 2 different lengths. A difference of 0.22". Anyone else run intoRouter lead ins
I do realize that we are given the option to add ramped leadins to toolpaths but would it not be nice if we had further options? The reason for this request is that when you have a project with a large number of irregular shape cutouts It is not onlyAccessing product prompts from sections
is there a setting to open the product prompts from sections? one of my ex-coworkers had the ability to do so but no one else does and now no one know how to do so.FEATURE REQUEST: Alignment of columns (especially machine tokens) inside Edit Design Data subassemblies
When in a sub in Edit Design Data, if you've stretched/extended some columns for better visibility (particularly on Machine Tokens), if you go into Workbook Designer to make some changes and then exit it, the columns become highly misaligned. The buttonProduct Group Image
Is anyone using the Product Groups and setting an image? I've created one and the image I've attached is being stretched and disproportionate. It won't center it like all other images for products. I've sized it similar to other graphics with no chaSeparate item numbering for different products?
Does anyone know if it's possible to have products numbered differently for specific products? For example, we'd like our countertops to be numbered differently than our normal cabinets. Where a cabinet is numbered 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, ect, we'd like ourRIP TOOLBOX
Hello Shane, It seems this is the new way to get attention and get tickets answered on this new "improved" system. The gcode microvellum produces does not match what is drawn in the composite drawing. BIG PROBLEM. CHECK TICKETS.videos
I missed the Q&A today. where do i go to find the recording? Is there such?Show specs when we use the machining sequence
I don't know if it has already been done or it's already something we can do but I would like to have my specs (like depth cut, speed, tool in use, etc) when I use the machining sequence, sometimes we only know the program wasn't good once we run it inRound parts
Seems ridiculous, but I can't figure out how to cut a round part. I'm trying to make a simple tabletop. It's the only part in the product, but I added the circle to another product just to get it cut out.

As the title suggests, I'm trying to formulate the total width of my false front to add the width of the filler on left and/or right and subtract the drawer front width gap. Fillers + Cabinet Width - Drawer Left and Right Gap = Total False Front Width.Get ready, a new Cases Portal is coming soon!
Hi Microvellum Community Members! I just wanted to follow up on the announcement we made a few months ago where we mentioned a change was coming. There has been some chatter and other posts where we mentioned some of the details, but we wanted to updatePLINE Z Values

Hello everyone, I am working on building a library of corner cabinets for my company using our current specifications, and I require the need to alter the width of the chamfer.
