Currently, if you are needing to modify multiple parts separately you have to execute the modify parts tools for each and the product has to redraw each time. It would be great if the commands could "stack", allowing the user to stay in that command untilafter update to latest build, the material catalog, lost the "face 6 flipping option".How can i bring it back?
Any one has the same issue as me? I just update to the latest build and test out.Post COVID Remote Workforce

As stated above this is for when you want to maintain vertical grain on the backs of your cabinets, you do get a warning that the back is greater than the sheet size when you process it, but i think Microvellum/Toolbox should be asking you if you wantBorder Method: Setmill Location
You can set this to be left, right, top or bottom but I would really like to be able to set this so that the setmill location is always towards the center of the sheet so that each part remains connected to the main sheet for as long as possible. DoesHatching
