Walk and Fly - Change to Perspective View
Hi, This happens every now and then. I'm not sure why but when using 3D Orbit it toggles an impossible to go away box. Its pretty rare but really annoying. Is there anyway to stop this from happening, or why it randomly decides to happen? Thanks,Associative Hole drilling on designated edge but also on opposite edge & face 6 (only when touching 2 subassemblies).
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
As you may know, our development team has been working to resolve issues with our Solid Model Analyzer (SMA) tools and Include Routes in Border (IRIB) algorithm. Resolving these issues remains a high priority for our team. Today, we are happy to reportCustom Commands with Diesel Expressions
Hello there, Lee Pellegrin (the new guy), I would like to know if anyone uses custom macros with built-in diesel expressions with MV?Is anyone Using a Koch Dowel insertion machine with Auto Part Width detection.
I'm wondering how difficult it is to setup a Dowel insertion machine with automatic part width detection. And get it to work with Microvellum? We are looking at a Koch SPRINT base.line Drilling & Dowel Insertion Machine.Better way to add multiple machine tokens?
I'm developing a few products that require a large number of machine tokens per part. I find the part properties interface more effective than the spreadsheet when checking for errors but am limited to the approximately 85 tokens using this interface.Dispatch Report

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

The associative machining for cabinet backs creates the required dado on the cabinet sides and shelves. The route from the associative machining starts in the middle of the part. But I would like the machining to start outside the part (like in VersionError in Origin and Rotation Tab
When using Part Properties in this particular file it throws an error when trying to use the Origin and Rotation Tab. It occurs with any of the cabinets I have made and modified. I am not sure how to correct this error and I do not intend to start over.Offset Polyline Errors
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'm building a custom dresser and I have a drawer stack next to a cubby unit. The slide boring isn't showing up in my cubby side. 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
