can i reference cut parts width/length in a formula?
so i'm working on a pline machine token and was wonder how i can use the cut part width that the machine token is assosated with in the formula? then length in the cutparts for that part is a pretty complicated formula and seems it would be much easierEstimated Cutting Times for Nested Sheets
I have been asked multiple times if it is possible to give estimated cutting times for Nested Panels to help determine the workload per day or release to the shop. Coming from CutRite for our panel saw we are getting this information so having similarAutomation of Dowels, Cut Parts, and Routes when adjusting material thickness
As the title implies, Is there a way to automate cut part sizes, routes, and machining holes with material thickness changes? Example: I want my .75" cabinet sides to be 1" thick. If I change the material thickness in material files through project wizard,TOE KICKS

Would be great to have a global to set a default 'choice' for the drawer runner weight rating. E.g. Blum Merivobox 40kg or 70kg.

Hey everyone, I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this, or if there is documentation I'm missing on the knowledge base.

This one is to Library development team. MV Profile Door Sub has no pointers Columns W, X, Y & Z. I use pointers for 2 pack painted doors with a L/m value against it & a thickness of .001.

There isn't really anything too broken, its just asking for =IF(Bay_1_Face_Options<>"No Doors",1,0) While it should be asking for =IF(Bay_1_Face_Options="No Door",0,1) The No Doors causes a problem because F Table is giving the drop down selection asUpdate MT from template is broken
