SMT Custom Tools
I have a question regarding "procedure" please see attached. Much appreciation, in advance.Specialized Virtual MV University Event - SMT
It would be nice to have an event that the community would be able to attend that would teach them to nuances of the SMT. I am at a point where it is taking me more time to manually fix and alter my model than have it done for me with the tools that ITool File Adjustment?
I would like to know the steps needed to remove the notched path that is cut in the DADO Wall. Is it tool related and or what ever else is causing the condition? I am new to this stage of engineering and I would like to make certain that this "trainingSmart Layers "String Information"
Is there documentation that explains what is initialed in the string. It would be nice to understandSink Sub Front on Door and Drawer Report - Can it be omitted?
Why do "SINK SUB FRONTS" show on the DOOR and DRAWER report? (See below) And can we remove it....unless there is a good reason why not too? Reason / problem is ... we have a BUYOUT report and a DOOR & DRAWER report. We ordered from the DOOR & DRAWER REPORTFEATURE REQUEST: Enhanced Sections
The Draw Sections tool is okay, but it could be better. It'd be nice to have an additional distance setting that would be used in more of a SECTIONPLANE/BOUNDARY type section. This would allow the user to create a cut in a section and only have the partsFEATURE REQUEST: Hardware Images in Material File Hardware Library
Something like the below image would be nice, to help keep our very large hardware library straight. It could reference a CAD dwg or require a separate JPEG to be stored, similar to the Product Images, Machine Token Images, etc. If these could be usedFEATURE REQUEST: Allow Smart Layers to be Assigned to Solids
When modeling things out that can't easily be build with the SMT builders I find it beneficial to still set up Smart Layers for part naming and material assignments. When modeling completely custom 3D solids it would be great to assign Smart Layers straightNew Foundation Library Release Available Now: Build 23.0609
We are happy to announce that a new update for the Foundation Library, Build 23.0609 is now available! The latest release of Microvellum's Foundation Library includes resolutions for numerous issues, such as corrections to global variable use in someAcad Subtract
When I use a large solid to subtract multiple parts, once I execute the operation, all of the parts are made as one, How could I do this and still have them as their own entity?F1 help document modification request
Would the be any chance that we could have an Autodesk hyperlink that could go straight to the help location for the appropriate AutoCAD install? Example: We are running 22, it would be nice to have the option to go straight to https://help.autodeskDifference between EQ and GETEQ
Hi So i created a sub for special shelves and had 2 option for it. One option was using the EQ1 and the other the EQ2 After a few conception trouble(the positioning started at the bottom of the cabinets), i realised that even while we use the pick corners,AutoCAD "UNHIDE" Command
I remember a discussion sometime back about adding AC commands to the MV Toolbar. I cant locate it nor did I book mark it. However, we have the "hideobject" command available and I don't see the "unhideobject". The more solids you add to a drawing theFEATURE REQUEST: Add a "Draw All Selected Products" in Product Viewer
Currently when you are drawing products in the library you can right click and choose "Draw all Products in Category" One thing that would be helpful would be to have this same option available in the Product viewer. Right now if I add multiple productsNew Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 23.1.0613.641
We are happy to announce that Toolbox build 23.1.0613.641 is now available! This build includes several resolutions for issues like edge band material overwrites, prompt duplications, and problems with certain machines during the nesting process. PleaseEditing multiple solids
Here is my dilemma, I have a desk with many solids and assemblies, and multiple walls. I need to make minor adjustments to lengthen the walls and move studs and dados with it. Is there a way to do a bulk edit for this to happen?Machine Collision Warning with Vertical Drilling
We're cutting a bunch of dowelled cabinet parts on 27.9mm material and keep getting machine collision warnings at the CNC (Morbidelli N100) which appear to be depth-related. I've narrowed it down to two vertical drill bits (5mm and 8mm) and can get theVirtual MV University
Did MV release the recording of there first virtual university to the attending companies?Issue when copying page tabs in OEM 2023
Why does it place the new page tabs after the layout I selected? It says "before layout" in the menu. I've gotten it to work correct at other times but I'm not sure if its the drawing that is messed up or if its because of a setting somebody else hadShelf stud holes
Why are these shelf stud holes not level, how do i fix this?Vertical Entities
Is there a way to lock vertical entities with the EPB?"Construction Line Path"
What would be the normal practice to change the dimension of one section from a two section "Path". I would appreciate how others handle this correction. Thanks in advance.Better Stability with AutoSave and Drawing Sections
Toolbox seems to crash on a pretty consistent basis, and based on the frequency in which the crashes occur it appears they might be linked with the timing for auto-saving the drawing. (I've tested this with several different auto-save times and it's verydbconnect
Why is it that I am not able to execute queries of databases once they are connected? Is this not an option in OEM?Formula Help // Refer to a Prompt from one Subassembly from another Subassembly
Hi There, library V50.7 This has bugged my for a while and has stopped me from doing many paramatric things I wanna do. How can I refer to a Prompt of one Subassembly from another Subassembly? I have a bottom panel with a grommet hole in subassembly "UpperFEATURE REQUEST: Additional Auto Assign Rules for Processing Stations
Here at Master Millwork we have several different CNC machines - 4 CNC routers and 1 beam saw to be exact. For our custom stuff we are primarily using 2 of the CNCs and the beam saw. When assigning Processing Stations to parts we have to look at partEPB Issue
Could someone please help me with why my studs do not have a thickness going through this radius?Allow Arrays In X Origin Or Add New EQ Function
Simply put, it would be fantastic if we had the ability to turn this Into this This example is for a hardware item but it would be good in cut piece items and subassemblies too for where the below functions are not suitable ie. when we have different/unevenSMT "Construction Path"
Is there a way to create a wall with an inside 90° and a radius outside using a construction path?Adding Time/Date stamp as well as Build # to Reports
Background: A few weeks ago we updated from TB '22 to TB '23 build 23.1.407.641. Running through all the testing we didn't see a few things that were not working correctly. (missing Face 6 Barcodes on part labels, Door lock drilling hole offset was oppositeError Message in SMT
Any insight to how to resolve this would be appreciated. Confusing I have not altered the "Construction Path"Dado Operation
Does anyone know what causes this result. The dado isn't plowed all the way. It looks like it wants to be a Blind DadoControlling the Trim - Face 6 and flipping sheets
When cutting face 6 first I would like to be able to double pass the trim cut before flipping the sheet, but only want one pass for face 5. Is this possible?FEATURE REQUEST: "Panel_Material" as Default Defined Name
I am finding myself defining column V - the Material column - as Panel_Material. What this allows me to do is use a thickness formula that looks to the material assigned to the part. I use this formula often for machine tokens, especially custom tokensRestore Issue
Is there a remedy for this error. I need to make changes to the original using "Restore Multiple Products". It wont restore any of my 3 "Construction Paths".Who's Attending AWFS 2023?

We are on the brink of adding labels to our products, and I was wondering which label printer is recommended? The guys at the shop are hesitant to use the 4x2 because it might mess up the finish on the pieces. Can the size of the label be made smaller,New Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 23.1.0605.641

I'm working on improving some of my reports. I having a hard time adding graining to my work order report and cut list summary report. If I add Part.Grain in a text cell it gives me a 1 or 0 so that variable only tells if a part is grained or not. I needNext Page
