It would be great if Microvellum could get a better interface for managing projects. At the moment we need to export projects then confirm it has been exported then remove it/them from the list. As this is a two-stage process it is very easy to miss aMaximum Number of Machine tokens Permissible.
Is there a limit to the number of Machine tokens to a Part in the latest version? I'm developing a product and recall previously there was a limit. In the past I'd make a more complicated Polyline to account for limited tokens. Is there a preferred methodMicrovellum Event Recodings

I'm getting incorrect results from the Offsetpolyline function. It works fine without arcs but with arcs I'm getting a variety of errors. See images, the magenta line is what it should be doing. I've confirmed the issue by reducing the offset amount graduallySlide Boring

I know there is a list somewhere in MV that has a list of names of parts that the slide boring is associated with. Does anyoneLink Distance Between Parts to Material or Tool
I'm sure it must have been asked before but it is it possible to associate the Distance Between Parts with the Material in the same way as Sheet Sizes and Trims are set? Or link it to the Tool Number? As the diameter and offsets dictate this amount.New Release Available Today: Build 22.1.0712.641
