FEATURE 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

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?
