Nesting Issue again
Dont know why i seem to be getting this sort of thing happening again, has something changed lately anyone else notice anything different in the recent updates? I had a tech come online to help me and we did go into the processor but i dont recall anythingProcessing Time for Ardis files
Has anyone noticed a dramatic increase in processing time when processing parts to Ardis recently? We are thinking it has to do with going to Windows 11 and possibly to OEM 2024 and 2025 which we migrated to from OEM 2022 at the beginning of the year.Cant Connect to server after powercut

I have found that some pieces are doubling up when nested. I have one panel in the room, I have 1 panel in product prompts and part properties, I have 1 panel in product list. I is giving me 2 exact panels when nested. Anyone seen this before ? 25.1.106.641Cnc Tools Stopping
Hi Microvellum. Just wanted to know if anyone else has had the problem of a tool stopping before it proceeds to its first cutting operation. Since we installed foundation library it seems as though tool 7 on both our machines sometimes stops at the pointStaircase Expansion - Tread/Riser Pocket
I must be missing something but can't find what it is. The treads & risers are not pockiting into the string? I've check all settings but no success. Anybody no why?How does everyone do Shop Drawings with View Ports
We've recently started using Microvellum, coming from software where each wall created its own view. We're running into an issue with our shop drawings, particularly when trying to show the inside of an island. When we switch to a back view in the viewport,Replacing Products Best Practice
Hi all. Was wondering what you guys consider best practice for replacing products in an existing older job with newer / latest versions of the same product (but named and saved differently). Right now updating the library products and adding a suffixHow long would it take you to process ~500 cabinets into a Work Order?
We process approx. 9000 cabinets per week. We have work orders that range in size from 10 cabinets to 1500 cabinets. We are struggling with the slow speed in which Work Orders get created (500 cabts would take around 5 hours). Processing the batch isCANNOT PROCESS COMPOSITE.DWG
Any one have any reason why this happens. Please see below.Work order summary by batch
I would like a report that shows only the products, hardware, sheets etc... used in a single batch of a work order. How can this be accomplished?Multiple Sheets
Good Morning Microvellum. I have nested a job and some sheets have the same layout so it is telling me to cut sheet B2300 2 times. I don't want this. Regardless of the layouts being the same i would like to cut each sheet separately. I just cant findRegarding Reports
Hi there, wondering if anyone knows how to simply select a directory location before running a report? For instance, I would like to be able to choose for the save location to be a specific folder so that I don't have to go in and move them everytimeCombine Double Pass and Tab
It sure would be nice to be able to use these strategies combined so intricate parts don't have to be recut. First pass @ .1"Z Second pass through but parts below a certain size (small part threshold) still get tabs.Dropped Routing When Copying Machining
I am having an issue when trying to copy machining from one part to another. I am using the 2D part editor, copying all the machining using AutoCad copy, then pasting it into another part in 2D part editor. This works fine for all the drilled holes butG code error cutting face 6

How do I redraw or view a product placed in the product viewer? Better yet, is it drawn somewhere and I just need to know where to find it in the drawing? I do not have an option when I right click on the product to "draw product" like I have seen onMap Material to Processing Station
Has anyone ever seen the benefit of 'mapping' materials to a specific CNC machine? That would let you set up each material so that each part would be populated to the processing center with a combination of stations already assigned. Instead of a manualHelp with Door and Drawer Front Detail Report
