Perfect grain
In the spec group settings under perfect graining, theres a check box to turn perfect grain on for drawer fronts and doors. Is there a way to turn it on, only for Drawer fronts and not for the doors?How to create this vector location/PLINE5?
This my first look at Vector locations. In my picture I am trying to create the white line in the part on the right. So basically a triangle I want with a 1.5 wide/.25 deep notch on both corners. Can anyone tell me how to tweak this vector code. The partHow to get pop ups to show after checking "do not show"

I am trying to figure out how to change what is printed on our "Work Order Summary" report in the product comments field.

Hi, Just want to discuss this again. Most of time, for small parts we put it in center or do onion skin to avoid the part move when it is in nesting. Now we want to try out reduce speed in order to prevent the small parts move. Is it good way? So forSmall Part Tabs

How do I change the organization system for the saved "Work Order" .MPR files? When I generate a new work order, it creates .MPR files for our CNC and it organizes the "part files" by material. Can I change this to organize how I want, say by tops, orIssue with sheet qty for duplicate sheets
Ive been doing jobs that require multiple copies of cabinets for a hotel. in total I have 10 styles of cabinets with 8 of each. when i nest the parts i run the material costing report to see how many sheets i need, but when im going to cut the sheetsIn the foundation library, adding pocket mortise machine token to product.

This might be a simple question, is ithere an easy way to set a double rebate on a single glass door. I have a client that wants a brass mesh insert at the front and 4mm glass behind. I can set the glass rebate, but is there a second option for a secondBatch Name Report
I am wanting to add the batch name to a report we use at our Point to Point CNC. I know how to reference the data inside reports, but I cannot get it to populate with a new batch name.

When I rearrange parts, I of course "update" it and then I print the page for the operator but it isn't making it to the machine the way I rearranged it. Apparently I'm doing something wrong...suggestions from the community?Perfect Grain control with Drawer Banks
Not sure what's going on? and how to change / control the grain . Had issues with this ins the past project but only with one cabinet, which I think I copied a formula over from a cabinet which was being nested / optimised correctly and made it work (Bluebeam does not recognize scales from Toolbox created PDFs
We create PDFs using the Publish to “PDF” option with the PDF Preset “DWG To PDF”. This leaves much to be desired. First, when “Multi-sheet file” option is selected, the scale on the first sheet is applied to all the sheets. If “Multi-sheet file” is notRouter tool height question
I have a 1/4" tool on our Northwood that I am using to perform a simple one pass route. Looking at the 3d of the cabinet I can see that the dado is there. And the machine operator said it did perform the function it just didn't go into the wood. ShouldCenterline Nesting with BIESSE

We often have to re-arrange parts in the nest. Often we reduce the number of cut patterns by a few sheets. After we update the code, the old excess patterns & corresponding part labels (visible via MV Production) remain. How do we delete these?Tool Overide
Hello, We setup a tool override preceding with a pipe symbol and a "T" in front of the common tool name in the code field. When drawing the part in 2d and checking the layer info, the border route is still the default border tool setup in the tool file.Print label - Select Process station
Since transitioning to Foundation, I have lost the ability to create a Part Label or Nesting Optimization Report that only shows what has been sent to a certain process station after optimization. This was originally addressed 3 years ago using the ComponentGiving Nesting Priority to Specific Parts
Our CNC Operator has requested that we put all of our small parts like the stretchers and nailers together on our nest. If possible, he would prefer them placed on the first few sheets of their selected material. is there any way to give priority to aReport Groups not publishing Part Labels

We manufacture 180+ cabinets per release and that equates to alot of product labels. Currently we are printing the labels at the Caseclamp and it just prints 180+ labels and then someone has to find the product number for the cabinet they are building.Customize Work Order Report
Is there a way to customize the program Microvellum to spit out a report tailored to exactly what you need? I'm familiar with spreadsheet formulas, programming, etc. Is there a way I can go in and create a template for Microvellum to give a cut list inFace5 or Face6 designation in filenames

Im looking for some help in order to jumpstart my work cycle... Im hoping someone may have already created a custom countertop product report that they would be willing to share? Also is there a way on the product report to show an image of the actualFinished End vs Non Finished End Parts
Just curious to see if anyone has manipulated Toolbox so that two cabinets use the same size parts even when one has a finished end. Example: 18" base cabinet with Finished End 18" base cabinet w/ unfinished ends Both have stretchers, back panel, nailers,One Product That Comes Into Every Project
