As of January 5, 2020, Microvellum will officially stop producing maintenance updates for Toolbox 2018 licensed software. This decision to end the development of software updates for Toolbox 2018 aligns with Microvellum's development strategy to includeOptimization Priority using Yield threshold
In microvellum, you can add multiple sheets sizes to a material and then use optimization priority to tell it to only nest a part on a size if the part wouldn't fit on another size first. This is great if you wanted to, for example, only use 4x8 material unless you absolutely needed a 5x8 or 4x10 or something else. That being said, I often have nests where the last few sheets could have better yields if they were 5x8 instead of 4x8 even if the parts fit on 4x8. This is usually a result of tall cabinetForce sheet size for work order nesting
Hi, I have a material 19 WD1 Plywood 1s, a stock material from Toolbox under Veneer Plywood that has both a 4'x8' and 4'x10' sheet size. I only want to nest my job on 4'x8' but it always uses the 4'x10'. How can I, without copying the material and thenReference Updates
