Feature Request: Small Part Spacing
We have determined that spacing out small parts enough that it is more than double the diameter of the border tool plus a 1/4" that the parts will not move. Currently we have to mostly do this by hand. I tend to use a different processing station to space
Rabbets - Clipped Corners
I have curved parts originally generated by SMA. Please explain why Microvellum clips the corner of a rabbet I added later. We will use a 1/2" dia router, so when creating the tool path, I want the path to extend at least 1/4" past the part outline. This
Feature Request: 2D Tools and Partslist pallet - keep selected tool selected

Square off or Trim nest instead of using offcuts
We would like to have a way to square off a nest without trimming fully around an offcut. I'd like to not machine 4 sides of offcuts but rather trim the full length (or width) of the sheet. this helps avoid offcuts potentially being too short for future
Feature Request: Determine part orientation / Machine point location in the smart layer prior to SMA
Our engineering team does a lot of custom products where we use SMA. We have determined with Microvellum support that the way vertical parts come in through SMA is random...I.E. the part orientation good side up switching facing back or forward, Machine
Feature Request: Rough cut offset for Small Parts
We have an issue when cutting solid surface small parts that tends to be solved if we run a perimeter cut first just slightly larger than the part size. I know in our tool file we get the option when doing a multi-pass tool that you can offset the first
Feature Request: Make the Add Lead-out to polyline button work
This one is self-explanatory. There is a lead-out button on the Draw Part in 2D / machining ribbon that doesn't work and Microvellum asked me to make a feature request after noticing that it doesn't work.

Scrap yield is so awful compared to the last couple years...
See attached composite. Why is is placing all these parts on separate sheets? These could all fit on the 1st sheet. I have not made changes in our scrap and we have been using it for years. This is dumb and causing such a waste of time trying to figure

Feature Request Add minimum width and length to nesting scrap
As per the title there really should be a minimum width and length for scrap options in the settings. Having scrap pieces that are 2440mm long by 50mm are no good to me. But i dont mind some rectangles, pieces for our machine need to be minimum 950mm
Change name reference in reports
Hey all! We have manufacturing reports that right now reference the draftsman name in Microvellum, however that variable does not work great when we have multiple drafters working in the same project. What we would prefer is for MV to reference a local
