Using 1/4" diameter Router bit and distance between parts
Hello, I am having issues with using a 1/4" diameter tool for cutting 1/4" thick material. We use a 1/4" downshear bit say Tool # T1332 to cut our G1S melamine. In the material file I have set the Code for this material as T1332|T1332 to override the tool selection to use the T1332 bit. The code spits out everything fine, except that the distance between parts is our standard .5625" set in our processing station "distance between parts". I am new to version 7 and am versed in version 6_7. In versionCutting Prelam with different Bit and different Z depth
We cut our 3/4" bonded pre-lam panels with a different diamond compression bit. Say Tool # 1333. In the material file for our bonded material I have set the code to |T1333. This works for changing the tool to spit out code with the perimeter route as T1333. But it adds a F2500 to the lines of code which errors the code out at the machine. Why is it adding a hidden feed rate? Sometimes I have internal routes that would need to be both T1333 and T1332(1/4") so I left the space before the [|} blank.Nesting Part Number Sequence
Does anyone know if there is a way to control the order parts are numbered on a nested sheet? Right now they seem to be numbered going left to right starting from the origin. I was wondering if there was a way to get the parts to number top to bottom? We just purchased a machine with an offloader, so now the operator stands on the side of the table instead of the front, and it would be helpful if we could get the labels to print in the order he will be unloading parts.Is there a way to import a workorder from spreadsheet
I understand it is possible to import a list of products into a project but is it possible to import a list of parts specified in an XML or xls list into a workorder? Just looking at changing the way we are handling remakes.Turn off Route lead in
Is there a way to shut off the lead in for the back dado route? I have tried setting the value in the global settings to 0, but the lead in is not affected. I have a machine that wants to add its own lead in and it doesn't like that the "geometry intersects itself". I tried going to Biesse and addressing it with them since it only does it on certain size parts for some reason, but they wanted to ignore that part and just say its the lead in from Microvellum. Has anybody else experienced this or knowbarcode programs for edgebander
I need to generate barecodes for our automated edgebander but on of the info I need on my barcode is the program selection. The program code needs to be selected tacking into account the thickness of the edgeband as well as the emplacement on the pieces i.e.: if it is on the front and back of the piece or on a side. I know I can have the thickness from the edge selection at project creation but i'm not sure how to go about handling the edge placement part of it and how to combine the two into selectingTool Palette
Never used the Tool Palette before but want to start using it company wide. But can some explain to me why there are no drawings in my Tool Palette File? Where are these drawings being pulled from?Formulated Hardware
Hello, I'm trying to add handle hardware that changes size according to Cabinet Width. The formula so far is =IF(L!Width>450,"Enko_110_320mm.dwg","Enko_110_224mm.dwg" in the Hardware association. It changes the hardware in the material file depending on what cabinet I've been in last but doesn't change each cabinet automatically. Has anyone achieved this or tried?

I'm attempting to adjust the rollout drawer front scoop cut so it doesn't come down so far. Currently it looks like a semicircle with transitions.

My Global "Max Drawer Depth" is currently : =IF(W!Standard_Wood_Drawer_Slide_Selection="Blum Tandem Undermount Full Extension",21,20) But I just added Grass Dynapro 16's and Grass Dynapro 19's to my drawer slides, and we currently use those 2 types. How can I change the formula to reference the Dynapro's instead of the Blum Tandem Undermount? Better yet, can it look for any of the three and return 21, otherwise 20?This new venue has a drawback
In the old venue you could comment on an article from the knowledge databse, but in the new one you cannot. I just tried to follow an article called "Adding a Drawer Slide" and I couldn't get it to work because the article failed to mention that, if your library is older than 50, it will not automatically add the new drawer slide to the list in the project wizard and in the drw box tab of the cabinet prompts. Fortunately, via a help ticket, I discovered you can add it manually to the "List DrawerTool File Info.

Having a problem with the "Add Ticket". Form is filled out completely and when submitted produces a response of "Unable to process request"Configuration Manager
At times it would be nice to have all the configuration information in one place, besides the registry. There are times when I am working, testing and trying different things between different databases on different servers and I find that at the moment the quickest is to work in the registry as I don't have to open and then reopen Acad/Mv as often. If there were a "configuration manager" it would be nice. Just sayin'Microvellum Holiday Schedule - July 2020

Read the Release Notes How to Get the Update Microvellum softwareRe-opening solved tickets
Does anyone know how to reopen a ticked that was solved, but the problem reoccurred? I can't seem to figure out how to do it on this new support site. I asked a MV agent over the phone but he wasn't sure either. I knew how to do it on the old site. Replying to it doesn't seem to do anything, the status remains "solved" and I'm not sure if anyone is seeing the replies.Anyone else Having problems with images?
I have been trying to insert and attach images but i am not able too. I am not over the 40mb file limit. The last one i tried to upload was only 12kb. I am thinking it may be a file format issue. Anyone else having a problem or is this just me?Removing an extra sheet of material from a nest
If I rearrange the parts of a nest to eliminate the need for a sheet of material I would like to find a way to remove it from the nest. Using UPDATE ALL NEST will leave the original program unchanged and the extra sheet of material in the summary.Add WallOffset to Prompt Bar
You know how some products have "Height Above Floor" in the bar at the bottom of the prompts window? And you can add it to a product that doesn't already have it? There is another great feature called "Wall Offset". I would like it to be included on that bar too right next to "Height Above Floor". It would be nice if we could add any variable we wanted to that bar. Tried to attach image and insert image and somehting is stopping me.Add Hyperlink datatype
Would it be possible to add a hyperlink datatype for use in product prompts. This would allow us to direct our designers and drafters to lots of extra information during the design process. I am sure there are other areas that this would be useful for as well that other users will come up with.Temporary Processing Station Changes
I would like it if changes made to the processing stations from the processing center were not saved outside of the work order without being prompted. Sometimes i like to make tweaks to the processing stations for a specific work order and it would be nice if i didn't need to remember to come back and undo those changes later. Basically when you hit OK on the changes i would like a popup that says something like, "would you like to commit these changes to the tamplate?" or something like that. OtherwiseAU Library Download
Hi ca anyone send the link to download the AU library thanks no links to any of Au DownloadsImproved Show Formula & Product Prompts
I would like to suggest the following imrpovments to the product prompts. I like the how the text box control type turns red when it is formula driven. Can we expand this to other control types? Red Radio Buttons for controls types 2&3 Red Check Marks for control type 4 Red Text for control type 5 I like how i can right mouse and show the formula for a text box control. Can we add this functionality to all control types?Add more fields for materials
It would be really useful if there could be more fields for extra information about materials. Just like comments fields on products or xpart fields for parts. This would allow to give more information in our reports and give more information to the designers while assigning materials.Commenting in the Knowledge Base
With the previous Zendesk Knowledge base, we were able to make comments on the articles posted. Now we don't have that option. I would really like to see this come back since the comments of other users on a specific subject can often be helpful.Spline Machining
I'm trying to router some text into a part using a V cutter from an imported PDF, I've created a boundary, Tried converting to polyline as well as using the original spline but no luck on applying routering. Has anyone had any luck in this area? Help would be appreciated.Employee Secure List
At our company, we've never had restricted access to the MV Template, Library Designer, or the Library. Anyone would be able to go in and modify/add/change the Template or Library if they needed. Since taking over our engineering dept., I've come to realize that this might not be the best practice. I recently came upon one of our drafters trying to make a change in one of his projects, but was unintentionally doing this at the template level. Luckily, I saw this and steered him towards the projectToolbox.err file location
This is probably a question that only Microvellum staff will know the answer to. How does Toolbox determine where to place the Toolbox.err file? I have had this file show up in so many different locations on my machine and the server it's ridiculous. The latest file was placed in the Graphics\Hardware\Wood Drawer Slides folder. I cannot find anything in Drawing Options > Files that mentions error log files. The path for Log File Location is set to a folder on my C: drive.Process Issue
Snap shot of issuesToolbox 20.1.0526.641 is available today
We are pleased to announce that the update to Build 20.1.0526.641 is now available for Toolbox! This update includes significant stability enhancements, fixes, new features, and other improvements to the software interfaces and overall user experience. Here are a few highlights of this recent build: This build resolves several issues related to the Adjust Wall Length feature. We added a new part preview in the part properties interface. We also added the ability to drag-and-drop an entire libraryAutoCad Modeling Operation Errors
Not sure if this is an issue with working remotely or issue with toolbox or autocad but whenever i do a redraw or a file save i get a long delay and on the command line it is showing a modeling operation error - error code 40002 and 109028. Ways to resolve is just wait it out and sometimes it will come back. I have also logged out of my remote session and when i log back in the error seems to unlock itself. i never noticed the issue until the recent update of moving to the 20.1.417.642 build.Specification Component improvements.
I have two suggestions i would like to make as improvements for the project specification groups setup menu. The first is when assigning components to specification groups, it would be nice if i only needed to select the specification group instead of expanding the group and selecting the specific sub component. The second is, the list of components on the right side of the menu. I would like the ability to open and edit the directly instead of selecting the specification group that is using theProfile Pic
So i was trying to change my profile pic. The first thing i tried didn't work. I wanted to see if it was the image or the system so i tried another image i had on my computer. This one worked. Since then i have tried to change it and while it has changed on my profile page, when i go to make a post i still see the original image that uploaded.Next Page
