Wall not drawing correctly?
In this attachement I have drawn my walls and when I go to draw out the elevation the second wall moves its self to the side. Any one know what I am doing wrong? I have removed the association with the wall and re-associated the wall but still nothing.
Is there a video or link showing how to group rooms, draw and produce PDF
I would like to see a example of the work flow with something like 10 or more elevations.

FEATURE REQUEST: Add Drawing Layers in Apply Materials UI
Having the ability to apply materials to all layers in a drawing would be great, especially when using the Solid Model Tools to create a rendered view of a custom product - often, for submittal purposes, a view like this is needed before any final product
Centering Drawer Slides on Drawer Box Heights
I am very new to Microvellum and am trying to center the drawer slides on the drawer box height (vertically) for each drawer... I understand that MV uses manufacturer specs to locate things like this, but we have always centered the slides and would like to continue doing so. Our most commonly used slide is the Accuride 3832. Thank you, Jake
AutoCAD Error

What is this old MV community forum?
New to MV about 6 months or so ago. I have gotten links a few times for Zoho which I have gathered is an old MV forum but I do not have access to it. I have emailed my account manager about it and he says we are set up with it but every time I go to log
Visual aid when Assigning Priorities to Routes
Is there any way to view the routing priority commands once applied, or even, before applied? If not, this would be an excellent feature within the Route Editing Tools expansion window. It would be nice if I could click on a single part and see some info for the various routes instead of having to read the code.
Selecting a POD system for a Biesse Skill CNC
We are planning to add the attached aggregate to our Biesse Skill GT 15.36 CNC. The main goal is to be able to do mitered cuts on paneling jobs. It has been suggested that we get a POD system. Are there any recommendations ?

Additional Profile Links for Social Media
First off, I'm not sure if members of the community are aware that they can add a link to their social media accounts or not. You can. However, I think most community members would benefit from providing their LinkedIn account. I do not see that as an
Global Setting For Defualt Sheet Stock Trim Values
Time after time, I see people ask if there is a quick and easy way to setup a new library and change the edge trim for sheet stock Materials. You have to do one at a time and if the boss says "change it" you cringe. Can we outfit the shipping library with a default from the material prompts tab that allows a user to change the sheet trim with one value? Of course, any customized sheets would not necessarily apply.
How can i get an item number to auto populate in a plan section view?
When i draw a toe kick , the 3d drawing has the correct item number in the item symbol block. Then create a 2d plan & elevation view and they have the correct item number in the item symbol block. Then when i draw a 2d plan section view, the item symbol block appears but has 0.00 for the item number. Is there a way to link the item number to the item symbol block in the 2d plan section view so it auto populates with the correct item number, like the other drawings?
Restore a Deleted Product
Is there a way to restore a product that is deleted from MV using the "Erased Product“ command? It is a custom product i worked from the product starter half way, then i accidentally erased it. ( the icon is kind of similar to the one for Redraw ehh...) Thanks!

Stud Cutout
When creating a diewall, the stud electrical cutout is too deep. Where is the default, so I can change it?
Looking for some formula help.
=IF(W!Standard_File_Wood_Drawer_Slide_Selection="Grass Dynapro 16",21,20) is the formula for our Max File Drawer Depth in our Global Variable file. I need to change this so that, if the drawer slide is Grass Dynapro 16 or Grass Dynapro 19, 21,20). I can't quite get my head around the syntax to add the "or Grass Dynapro 19" to the formula. If anybody can point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful. Also, if there is a good reference for this syntax, I'd be grateful learning that too.
Is it possible to scan product labels to confirm that items have made it on the delivery truck?
I have this dream that my delivery driver could scan a product label when he loads a cabinet on the truck and I would get some sort of notification or acknowledge. Is this possible?

Plumming in walls
This is more a wishful thought but with all the things you can add to walls(doors, windows, bulkheads) Why can't we add pluming and electrical to our walls?
shelf pin sockets
Anyone use shelf pin sockets in their cabinets? I have a client that is insistent on them. I have no problem changing the size of the boring to the socket but what I need is a count of the sockets to order. Right now I only get a count of the pins (4 per shelf) but every hole will require a socket. Could I get a count of the linebores and use that? Thanks! Pete.

Parameter 7 In Dado Machine Token
In this Parameter we are supposed to be able to enter two different tool numbers separated by a pipe ,This function has never worked for us, we have submitted tickets and we were told by the microvellum rep that he has put at tracker in to get this fixed.

I wonder anyone else has the same issue or do we need to change how we do our dados. Who know if is this going to be

How can I change the product description that shows up in the Work Order Summary
I made a new product called Modesty Panel from a Base Scribe Filler. I removed the unneeded prompts and changed the formulas that referenced them (or deleted those parts as not needed) and all works fine. I changed the product description in the cabinet prompts, but the work order summary still shows it as a Base Scribe Filler. How can I fix that?
Need help understanding a simple formula
This formula is for the height of a base filler. I unchecked "knotch for toe kick" and added .5 for scribe to floor. =IF(Notch_For_Toe_Kick=1,Height-Toe_Kick_Height,IF(Filler_To_Floor=1,Height+Scribe_To_Floor,Height-Toe_Kick_Height)) The height is 28.5". If I read this formula right, the value should be 29, but it's not. It's 28 1/2". Attached video shows the design data sheet and the formula check. The formula check indicates the value is 29. Yet, the value is 28 1/2. Can anybody shed some
Subassembly Variable
I know that you can read a variable from many places in the main assembly G!, W!, from the subassembly L! The question I have is reading a value from S! and bring it to L! or another S! Since everything is a subassembly, how can I get a value from a specific subassembly? Let's use the Access Panel for an example Place_Bottom is a variable inside of this subassembly If I am in the Carcass Base subassembly, how could I get the value of Place_Bottom from the Access Panel Subassembly? Is there a way
