Hi, does anybody know of a video online of how to change the position of the labels on a A4, we run with manually putting them on, 8 per page 102 x 73 on A4, I'm wanting to lift the top 2 side by side labels by 8mm and lower the bottom 2 side by sideExcess Material
Does anyone else cut their parts oversize on a nesting cnc? I have discovered the below solution, but it only works for straight parts, not for anything that requires a curved polyline. 1. Set Edgebanding material to have a part size adjustment: MakeDrawer division dado width
How can I control the width of the dado for drawer divisions? Running library 50.3. The division material is 0.77" in thickness and the resulting dado is 1.54" which in a perfect world is correct but a little too tight. I have tried changing the dadoFeature Request: Parts List Numbering
how hard would it be to number the rows in the 2D drawing interface so we don't have to count down the rows for the part being edited in the viewer...Processing Station Settings
What "Border Method" is everyone using for nesting? We are currently using Standard and notice our CNC is not cutting as efficiently as it could be. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. ThanksShow the Usage Quantity in the Project Specification Group Setup Window

I have a client asking for a small trash door within a door like the picture below. I tried to offer an actual trash grommet, but they want this. Does anyone have a source for this hinge? seems like a much smaller gap than the ones I'm seeing atHow Many???
I am curious to know how many MV users are dedicated draftsman that spend majority of their time in the office and how many of you are out on the shop floor or other misc tasks in between drawings like myself? MV seems to be geared towards largerWall cabinet construction when using light valances
How are you constructing your finished ends and what do you do at fillers? If you check valance bottom and check a finished end the end extends down the valance height. When doing this the inside of your finished end is the interior color which is nowLibrary Designer

Does anyone out there have a Biesse Winstore? If so, how has your shop linked it with Microvellum? Did you use Eurosoft's Wintegration? Has anyone successfully deployed a system with Microvellum directly feeding into the Winstore without a third partyWhere is the Company information setup?

Are there countertop brackets within the foundation library, if not would someone point me to an article to add them?2D Hardware Interface - Use Hardware Categories instead of 2D Drawing
With all the 2D Hardware drawings available in MV, it's hard to find a specific hardware item when you want to add it through the 2D Part Editor. Can we update this interface to use the hardware selection box with it's organization and categories insteadAdding a KV734 Closed Flange to the library
Microvellum has a generic closet rod flange along with the associated graphics in the library. I am wanting to add my own KV734 Closed Flange into the library. The issue is that I cannot find the look up table where the generic flange is located. CanBoosting Toolbox Performance
Does anyone have a recommendations for boosting Toolbox performance? Whenever I 3D orbit around a drawing in 2D Wireframe from a plan view, I get a lag of about 10-20 seconds and then it typically works fine. We use one dwg file for an entire job, soExport Library
If I go to export a library, does it auto-select all supporting files and folders? Also, how could I rename a library before I export it?What has everyone added in their 2d drawing tokens?
Hi, I am bringing up this topic as I am updating all my 2d drawing information to automate it as best as possible (just learnt this!). Was wondering what 2d tokens everyone has added and or is using to make drafting as automatic as possible with planEmpty report
We use report groups. Is there a way to prevent a report from saving if it is empty instead of it saving as an empty page?Ladder VS. Leg Levelers

I would like to know the best way to export out a full library from a local, and import it onto a server.Change Sorting in Reports
Is there a way in Report Designer to change the sort order / sort by? Example: Sort by ITEM# [Door and Drawer Front Report] I'm sure because it's combining ITEM# and "-" and Sub Product NAME it will not SORT by easily. There is no rhyme or reason howMV Bookshelf - December 2022: "Traction" by Gino Wickman
Y'all ready to end 2022 with a BANG?! Traction has become one of my favorite books. It's loaded with great content. My personal favorite is when he talks about how to determine who the right people are, if they are in the right seats, and how to handleCabinet Software?
Curious to see how many MV users have used other cabinet software on the market and their reason for switching (not a bashing session). Along with how many were AutoCad users prior to using MV. I have used KCD, Cabinet Vision and Mozaik (briefly). MyUsing new library to open jobs from old library

When EDD opens a subassembly that was selected in the 3D MV Product, it doesn't select the correct subassembly in the list above. This can mislead and or cause errror and confusion. It opens the sub you have selected but has selected above whateverCut Border before Route
In the case of cutting a rectangular part with a big center cutout, leaving thin materials all around, I need to cut the border before route so it has better suction from vacuum. Is there anyway to set it up? Right now, I delete the border and redrawDatabase Explorer - Set New Default Category
