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

Is there a way or is there a report to get the HORZ DOWEL program number on a report. Reason being ... we print part labels that have the BAR CODE and program number for the DOWEL machine. If the labels get lots, damaged or part remade it would be easyMoving Products to a new room
I have moved some products with in the product list to another room, but they still show up in the original room. If I erase them in the Original room they get erased in the new roomVarying Backboard Thickness' & Cutters
What are people doing for varying thickness material, on only backboards? MV is setup to just groove, non thick back board's, with one pass, so in my case its using a 12mm cutter, to make a 10mm groove. 2mm is too much space and way too loose. I couldCosting Report Sheet Stock Incorrect?
I am inputting sheet stock pricing at the moment to finally get our costing reports set up, and I am having some issues with understanding how the sheet goods are calculated. You can see I have $70.13 for the price of this sheet for drawer bottoms. WhenFatal Error
When I process a project, I sometimes get a Fatal Error and Microvellum needs to shut down. I process the job, assign the machining center to the parts and process the parts. When the processing is completed, the Fatal Error pops up, and Microvellum closesError when updating single part GCode
I am getting this error message after adding some tool paths to a single part and trying to update the G-code. Has anyone seeing this before? Or know how to get past it? I've done this type of modification of the part data in the WO many, many times butarithmetic operation causes an overflow

How have people managed to get the material finish written on the labels. I want it so that each label will say whether its lacquered, painted or no finished, BUT its all the same material like birch ply so does not effect nesting in any way and its notUsing MV to Provide Cut Files for Outsource
