FEATURE REQUEST - stand alone tablet program for product assembly line
Our shop is transitioning from using moziak to using microvellum. The engineering portion of microvellum is much better. But where moizak shines is with their paperless shop application. Our company was sold on microvellum being able to do everything
Micromanager Upgrades - Annotations on Nests
In the Q1 Roadmap session today it was mentioned that annotations made in the composite nest drawing had been improved. I believe it would be a great idea to improve Micromanager so that these annotations would show up on the screen. We don't print out

The product comment can only contain 255 characters

Microvellum has big lags and I also can't nest
My microvellum is extremely slow, every pan has a delay, every zoom has a delay. I can't work like this. I also can't nest my jobs, all my reports are missing dimensions.
Dowels on labels
Is there a way to modify the way dowels show on the labels? Sometimes our panels are so big that the dowels can be easily mistaken for holes. My initial thoughts are to extend the line that represents a dowel beyond the outside of the panel instead of

added 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

New (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 that
