We are happy to report that the update to build 21.1.0714.641 is now available. Here are some highlights from this build: We addressed the issues causing parts to have a slight rotation in both the 2D and nest patterns. Important note: With these changes,IPP toolfile
Hi, Was wondering how difficult it is to set up a IPP toolfile. I need this for tabbing if I want it to clean out the tabs instead of manual removal. I run alot of jobs and cleaning them out manually is a ball-ache. ThanksPerimeter's No Longer cutting,
Hi, Has anyone had problems with the part perimeters not cutting? Since updating to build #21.1.519.641, my WO's processing G-code's for the perimeter passes as Z=0, two-paces!

I'm curious to know what other methods y'all might be using for shop drawing procedures. At my previous company, we drew entirely in Model space - our title blocks were even in model space. We had procedures and custom commands that made working in layoutAdd part lables ?
how do I get this to show properly? The line indicators are very long and cannot identify parts . Have to manually move all the names and create new line indicators.FEATURE REQUEST - Better Tool Organisation
We have up to 21 tools in our nesting machine with a few more that get changed around all the time. I think it would be great to have buttons in here or the ability to drag/move tools around to help keep them organised and in order.

Hi All; is their a way to add a custom prompt to multple products like library desinger. Basically I want to add a bore token to cabinets bases with a prompt on/off tick box. I can add to one product but not sure how to add to all base cabinets fordynamic IP causing activation issues
issue: constantly being prompted to enter serial / password. Every time i do it uses another activation until all activations for our company are used up and then it will not allow me to access microvellum. variables that i think effect it: dynamicMissing the "Composite" file
I was updating a nest for an error in the machine path and can't seem to find the composite file again? Any Ideas?Checklist for loose parts
What options are there for keeping track of parts that ship loose? We need to have everything that ships loose to be accounted for so there's no discrepancies later. Currently, I've been assigning an item number to anything that will ship loose. ThisParts generated in Solid Analyzer?

I did a quick search but did not find what I was looking for. I did try this and it seemed to moved the items from the product list view , I dont know where they went , but when I click in the room the products are there. Could I use this to hide itemsHARDWARE
would it be possible to add the A & M hardware support bracket family to the hardware list in subassemblies and perhaps centerline brackets too.Shadow Line Finger Pull Model is Oversized
When I draw a cabinet that has the Shadow Line Finger Pull the model for the Hafele channel it is way to big! I'm guessing it's because it's trying to convert it from metric to imperial so it's actually drawing the metric size.Outsourcing work to other cabinet companies that are also using M.V.
We are in talks with another cabinet company to do some work for them since they are over booked and we have some open production time. We noticed that we both use Microvellum. They have already drawn the job using their construction methods and hardware2D Drawing Instructions (Part 5) - Wood Hacks S1:E8

I want to create some sort of unique identifier on the PRODUCT level to ultimately help sort items in reports. One thought is that I could add a number or letter at the beginning of the product names. I currently have 6 different routes that a productFoundation library

We do a lot of public hospitals and for budget purposes melamine is often specified. We also have issues with doors and slides popping out after a bit. Any suggestions as to how to prevent this? I would say a stronger hinge or slide but that won't stopJIT Error?

Just wondering how other companies staff themselves, such as: - number of MV engineers compared to overall number of employees - number of MV engineers vs. dollar amount going through each week - number of MV engineers vs. number of products produced or drafted each week And specifically related to millwork die walls, how many engineers different companies have working on die walls and what kind of capacity are they able to turn out. For example, we currently expect one millwork engineer to engineerDrill Distance Past Part
Hi, I am trying to adjust the depth that our THRU bit drills past parts. I thought that this was something that was easily adjusted via the Globals under machining (see attached image). After adjusting this Global, the bit is penetrating .02" throughHardware machining on face 1 or 3
Does anyone know if it's possible for Microvellum to show the machining (even though it can't produce code) on faces 1 or 3 for something like a lock mortise on a man door?New MV User - 21 years experience with AutoCAD

I don't know if it would be helpful for anyone else but it would be great if we could show the category name in this little section. We use the company name for the category so it would be quite helpful to show that information at a quick glance!Migrating From a Metric Library to Imperial
What would your process be? *** Migrate from Metric (V49.1) to Imperial(50.7). At one point in time it was decided(right , wrong, or indifferent) that we would set up our Library in Metric. We would like to now migrate to Imperial(Taking our build standardsPulling single drw boxes from a product?
