FEATURE REQUEST: Adding basic metafiles to all foundation library products
The solid model analyser adds some basic metafile data to each item solid modelled, This allows product detail reports to show a picture of the item nested, Good for joiners to help see what they are making, Already in most products, needs adding to theTenons
Hi, i am trying to find a way to make a tenon go through two .75 pannels. Does anyone have an idea of how i could proceed? I have been playing around with the dado machining option but nothing works the way i want. Thank you!Machining tokens
Hi, I have been trying to add construction holes using machining tokens in part properties. I can't figure out how to make the holes apply to both parts. I've tried to do exactly as in practice videos but it doesn't seem to be working, the holes keepSticker report
We haven't been able to change the orientation of the edge banding, for some reason it orients on the wrong side and we can't figure it out, do you have any suggestions to change that? Attached are picture of the sticker and the cabinet. Thanks in advanceadded drawer slides (KV8450FM, etc)
A good while back I added a bunch of KV drawer slides to the hardware look-up tables. I added KV8400's, KV8450FM's and KV8650FM's. These work great in products, but they exist only in the look-up tables, not in the hardware parts of the material files.Machining on extruded entites
Hi, our team is new to MV. We have been trying to test the solid modeling tools. We noticed it is possible to add machining to vertical entities and those will apply to adjacent extruded entities. Our problem is that we need to add machining in betweenRemoving notched corners in drawer bottoms
We recently switched to the Foundation Library from the Component Library. Or standard drawer construction is dowel with captured bottom. The sides had stop dados and the front and back had dados that ran past the ends. The bottoms would be cut with squarereports
hi, does anybody have a sample hardware report they would be willing to share? At square 1, just looking for something to import to get going that's more than the original from MV install. Thanks!Parts Excluded from Optimization
Using multiple sheet sizes of a certain material we sometimes get an error 'there is not enough material' for a given material when processing. We can usually resolve the error by adjusting sheet quantities and optimization priorities using the ModifyNew (beta) Optimizer - prompt for True Shape
The new True Shape Settings in the Beta nesting optimizer seems to be great so far. We love all of the new enhancements. BUT, it would be nice if you could leave Block Nesting on as default, and *quickly* enable True Shape per 'work order' or 'batch'.Work Order - Split Edgebanding
How would I make the edge band report split for either subassemblies, or parts, etc. I was thinking of using the comment section of the parts to basically say "I am door". Then filter it by that. Example, we have cabinets then we have trim items thatLinear dimensioning in side view
Hi All, Just starting out with Brics CAD.. Previously, I've often ran a linear dimension on front or side views of a product, either to position machining or double check my work. Now, sometimes I needed to refresh the view for the dimension to appearCustom G Code Header on Face 6 programs
Does anyone know of a way to insert a few custome lines of G code to the header on only face 6 programs?Fix the hidden error window when Processing
When Processing in the process center, when MV encounters an error the notification window is often hidden and remains invisible. Can the process center flash red or something so the user knows to look for the error window . I'm assuming MV can't makePreventing Label/CNC Program Mismatch
Hello, We’re running a 2000-era Morbidelli CNC with Xilog, and using Toolbox Manufacturing on a separate computer to print labels. Most of the time it works fine — but occasionally, the operator runs Program A on the CNC and prints labels from ProgramWork Order Updates
Newbie to MV. Can you make updates to work orders and re-process them? Or do you have to create a brand new work order? For example: Re-nest a sheet Change the sheet panel size Change material My concern is having multiple work orders for a project thatSMA - Part with Dados and Cutous
I am using Toolbox BSB, but this issue happens in Toolbox OEM as well. The Solid Model Analyzer does not handle parts that have both dados and cutouts. SMA does not create the correct machining for the dados and/or it skips the cutout. Has anyone elseHardware Items in Parts List Review
Just a thought, it would be nice if the Parts List Review command also showed the Hardware Items for the selected product, perhaps in separate tab. Or if someone knows of an easier way to easily/quickly see this, please let me know. As far as I'm awareHTML Report - Product Flatstoken (Picture)
Team, I am trying to have Flatstoken in my HTML reports. I'm check the WMF and Flatstoken before creating the report but is nothing coming. 25.1.1013.641Feature Request - New Nesting Options
As it stands, when we process a nest, the g code is being written regardless of whether or not i think the given sheets are acceptable. I would like an option on the below screenshot to be able to basically hold off creating labels and gcode until i'mMachining from PLINE Not Showing Up in Work Order
I’ve created machining tokens using the 2D Part Editor, but nothing shows up when I process the Work Order. Has anyone else run into this issue, or know what I might be missing?Why does the Nailer Construction Method get Overwritten by Finished End Options
I recently had an issue where the nailers were dadoing into all my finished ends. The Construction Method for the Nailers were set to NONE. The Construction Method of the Finished Ends are set to Dado. I found that the Dado Machine Token is set to lookHow to add the dowel matrix to part label?
Looking to be able to add the dowel matrix to a scannable bar code we would put on a part label. How tough would that be? I saw a video but didnt really grasp at how to effectively add it to a barcode we can scan.A Report that shows saw pattern instructions?
Perhaps it's there somewhere, and I've just not managed to find it... Is there a report that shows the optimized saw patterns, with phased cut instructions? Most of the time we'd use our automagic machines... but sometimes they are unavailable for operation...Labels
We bought a Biesse ASFT nested based router our first. We are having problems getting the label information to the machine to print labels post processing. has anyone accomplished this and how ? Also I don't suppose any one has a label report for a 4"Part Label - Edge Indicator
Hello, We used to have labels for the parts in the shop. We'd like to update our information regarding the edges. I'd like to replace the 'X' on the part drawings with something else. For example: E = Exterior edge or I = Interior edge. Does anyone amongRFID Suggestions
Hello, We are a small custom cabinet shop (~12 employees) exploring the option of RFID. Our main pain point we think this might solve is our CNC machined fronts that we have finished out of house. Because we are a custom shop, we have multiple customnesting reports error
Since i started the free trail of bsb and my work is on the toolbox 2025 i now cant off nest layouts it comes up with error. i cant even open the report designer to check the same error pops up very annoying. see screenshot attachedProcessing and Printing?
While doing both of these functions my pop up windows for both do not come to the front of the same screen and switch from screen to screen. Any Ideas on how to fix this?FEATURE REQUEST - Tool information needs to be visible on reports
We have the border tool displaying on our nest reports using the Material Code from the PlacedSheets table. We would like to display more information (like the description "3/8" RH Comp" as an example) about that tool if possible, but I can't figure outCopy room from one project to another
It would be great to be able to copy a single room from one project and place it in another project. This would be helpful when doing our builder work that mix and match from previous projects.Feature Request- Interface for Shop to process remakes in MV ERP
Imagine this...Let's say you run a work order on the floor, and there are 4, 6, or a dozen damaged parts....they slide on the router, or got dropped, etc. What if the operator could scan the filename on the part labels, and it would automatically createDrawer Bank Laminate
Is there currently a way to nest post laminate for multi-drawer banks with the saw optimizer so that instead of having separate plam pieces for each drawer front, it will nest them all in one oversized piece to grain match correctly chasing them withNesting Optimization Report Grain Direction
Is it possible to have sheet or part grain direction indicated on the Nesting Optimization Report?Report not reporting correct height.
The Report is not reporting the correct height for bar back panels. It is taking the overall height of 1000mm which is listed in the cut list, and it is removing the toe kick height. Its not a big problem but i can guarantee someone will make it to theModify Workorder parts material
In the Processing Center screen could the functionality to change the material of an individual part row be added? The modify work order screen for adding material size and changing material name has been very useful but I was wondering if Microvellum could go one step further with this functionality. My thought was a drop down arrow for each part in the material name column that would allow a user to select a different material for an individual row. The dropdown would only show material of exactlyFeature Request - Ability to edit the part quantity that is processed in a workorder batch
It would be helpful at times to be able to edit the part quantity within the workorder itself when processing a batch of parts. This would be applicable when you have multiple products under the same product number where the parts are grouped togetherOPTIMIZATION
i have a nest of 30 tall cabinets the same size and the nest has several sheets that are identical part layouts with different sheet quantities (see attachment). question is what parameter controls the quantity of identical part layouts, if that makesLabels missing edging
These labels are in my opinion missing the parts for the edge banding, except its not edge banding but a "face mounted Lip Down" piece of framework, there is nothing to tell the guys to apply an edge to these before painting.Modfying nests and toolpath generation
It might just be me, but when I was adding some cutouts in a part today and also later when changing set mill location of parts in a nest, I encountered a problem. First, i pasted the geometry of the cut through into the 2D part editor and after selectingNext Page
