I've had this issue before and can't remember how to resolve it. The issue is when I create new hardware and attach a 3D drawing with it, then some some reason I have to modify that drawing, I can't get the modification to update with that hardware. IThe Use of Solid Modeling Tools

In working through some other things I was shown that on Microvellum's side you can review the users in the system and their current product and version number. Is there a tool or utility to use on our end to do the same review? Even having just 12Parts Sorting
What is everyone using or how are you sorting your parts after being cut in a batch? What software solution or procedure?How do you manage drawing revisions?
Curious about how do others deal with drawing/Project revisions? The way we do it I think is the worst and I need to change it so I am looking to see what is out there. We do mostly commercial, multi room/floor projects so there are multiple design andAutocad Usage When Microvellum Server is down

Hi all Would anyone be able to help us please. If we make a selection view, some works perfectly whilst other parts do not. Especially on the plan part. In particular if we added a counter-top on the model space selection the drawing will return toAdding New Templates in Foundation

I'm having an issue where associative holes, used between subassemblies, are drilling Hole 1 Edge/ face 5 but also activating on Hole 2 Edge/ Face 6 if a part is touching that edge. It works correctly when the subassembly is touching a part on one edgeSMA & IRIB Improvements - Status Update
