Hi, I'm trying to get the master cut report to only display a specific material name. All I've done is added a condition statement: {Parts.MaterialName = ".75 Hardwood - [6]"} Eventually its going to just be our face frame material, however when I runFreelance Shop Drawings

Does anyone have information on how to add hardware items to the subassembly library? ThanksFormula materials (Edge Banding) not updating in the IU
We notice that sometimes the formula driven edge-band materials don't update in the IU to show the correct name. The name stays at the generic format of the template. Its not an issue because the spreadsheet is all correct until you want to change anReport (Doubling Text/Data)
Hi, I'm working on a report and its printing information twice. I think its some sort of redundancy issue I'm not seeing. If anyone knows what might be causing this, attached are images of my output and each report screen. Thanks, -JamesDovetail Machines
Is there any dovetail machines out there that MV can send g-code to?External Reference Palette
Anyone knows how to disable the External Reference Palette from showing up every time I start MV?Paste Name Dialog - Additional Information
The paste name dialog is great for using various pointers and other variables across products, but it would be very helpful to have values and references shown. What do you all think?What to Consider When Investing in CNC Technology (with Thomas Tuck of C.R. Onsrud)
Recently, Garin Trimble and I were on location in Troutman, NC to visit our industry partner, C.R. Onsrud. During our visit Garin (Microvellum Regional Account Manager) sat down with Thomas Tuck (C.R. Onsrud Regional Sales Manager) to discuss what toIs there a tool or utility to review users and their software version?
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
Would like to know if there is a way to use the AutoCad Feature when ,for instance, Your servers are down and you want to work on a cad file? It seams as though Autocad will ONLY work if the server is connected and running. I think there should be aFEATURE REQUEST: Nested Composite Multi-Sheet Layout Options
It would be helpful if you could change how multiple sheets laid-out in a composite. Instead of all in a single line, it would be helpful to be able to have them in rows & columns. We organize 5-9 sheets to fit on an Arch-D 24"x36" print for the shop.Can we get a MVAPPLYFORMULA command?
I like to reduce mouse cursor time and would find it really helpful if I could hot key Apply Formula.FEATURE REQUEST: SMT Corner Negotiation Type None to be Continuous
I don't know about others out there, but when using the Solid Modeling Tools it would be nice if the "None" option in the Extrusion Corner Negotiation Type would create a solid extrusion throughout the path - no breaks. "None" gets a little confusingFeature Request FOUNDATION LIBRARY: 2D Drawing Section showing drawer slides
I attended both "Virtual Events" on 7/27 and understand that the August update will contain "Dovetail" drawer boxes. Is there any consideration to include the ability to have "drawer slides" visible in 2D Sections?Model Space selection/Plan view
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 am adding AWI Templates for use and would like to know if the original templates can be moved down? What is Formula Cutparts/Edgeband and Cutparts Sided used for?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

I had thought that I would be able to access the width and length columns in the M workbook. Yep got that part without any issue but then I find that not all materials have the length and width listed. What is up with that.MV Bookshelf - July 2022: "Built to Last" by Jim Collins

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 graduallyNext Page
