We have an Optimat ABD 050 horizontal drilling/doweling machine. Soon, we are taking delivery of a Homag Centateq N-300 512 V7 push off CNC machining center. We've never done barcoding before but I think it will be important to do so with this setup.Bi Fold Pocket Doors
Hi there I'm trying to build up a Laundry Unit with Bi-Fold Pocket Doors in the cabinet. I need ot to be full width without mullions. Does the new foundation library allow me to do this, i tried the Tall Master but couldn't see how to add them. LookingUnderstair Units
Hi there, new to Microvellum and trying to get my head around how it all works.

We are looking into the option of starting to cut Countertop blanks and shapes out on our Nested CNC. I am wondering if anyone else is already doing this and could give us some pointers and tips. We already have the basic setup running and were ableFoundation Library
Hi all, I have been setting up the foundation library with my own drawing template that I have used with 2020 library with no issues. For some reason, in the foundation library, all my cabinets are coming out with one colour. Anyone else has had a similarMV product
Has anyone had an issue with having too many products in their library? The reason why I'm asking is because my company has a few product lines they want in MV. That way Engineers can pick a product from a list and draw it in MV. Over time this list couldPaperless?
Has anyone gone paperless as in not printing out cutting reports and nest layouts but rather creating pdf's to be viewed at the machines or assembly workstations? If so what were the hurdles? Learning curve on the floor? ThanksFoundation Library Buyout Doors
Hi All, Question for those using the foundation library, or someone from microvellum. Might be a stupid question, or I'm completely blind. Messing around with the foundation library, getting it ready for implementation, cannot for the life of me figureCreating a New Drawer Box System

Hi, I'm having issues with pop-up menus not fully displaying. The menu is fixed and can't be extended horizontally or vertically. Appreciate your input in finding a solution.Copied Rooms Gives Errors
Does anyone else get errors with copied rooms in the same project as the original. I use the Copy Room command to make a copy of the room. The error I usually get is "Index was outside the bounds of the array." I am using Microvellum 2019 with BuildWe need different wall types
We all draw islands, and it's always easiest to draw the elevations using the "draw wall" command, but the wall in the floorplan shows a solid wall. It needs to show a dashed line to properly display on the floorplan. We should have a new wall typeMV box labels
I need a box label to make 4 label per product. So if there is 1 product with a quantity of 5, I would need report designer to make 20 labels for that product. How can I accomplish this using report designer?FEATURE REQUEST - Ability to highlight cells in edit design data spreadsheets
I saw it mentioned in reference to updating new libraries that it would be a good idea to possibly highlight the cells that you updated with new formulas etc. Taking it one step further I think it would be great if we had the ability to highlight cellsPlotting blue
In yesterday's live training session for Submittal drawings this issue was touched on, but I didn't catch where to make the change. I noted Plan View> Legacy Hidden = removes color. Where do I need to be to make this selection to remove the blue color from my plots?Microvellum dimensioning

It would be really great if the optimizer could somehow try and rotate cabinet sides so the back edge of the cabinet was placed on the edge of the sheet. This way if the layup job isn't perfect, any potential gap in laminate coverage or sheet edge damageSpec Group Confusion
