New Cutting optimiser still not functional a lot of the time?
Anyone else still struggling with the new optimiser, i worry for the day the old one disappears and we cant process anything!
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
Feature Request: Enable Export of Processing Center Reports as *.XLSX
This is the reverse of an Innergy idea: https://ideas.innergy.com/ideas/IDEAS-I-4373 If we enable export of *.XLSX reports in the Processing Center, we would be able to upload to Innergy. Currently Innergy does not accept *.XLS files.

add tabs to routes
I think it would be a great feature if we could add TABS to cutouts or any toolpaths, not only borders
Pilot holes will not turn off
I have changed the method from screws to none on my thick backs but it is still putting pilot holes? Is there another method to stop the holes from drilling.
Process with material that is finished on one side
Hello everyone, We’re not sure how to handle this option. We have material that is finished on one side, and we never really know how to manage everything when trying to set up an efficient process. Currently, we create a material called “Oak 48x96 1
Sequential Numbering & Labels from Single Product
Is there a way to use a single product and enter a range or set of numbers (0-100 or 123, 456, 789, etc.) and have an identical product processed with multiple labels for each number? Each item would be a duplicate, but having the labeling this way would
FEATURE REQUEST: hardware List

Nesting Position Preview & Machine Origin Arrow on Part Label
Hi everyone, I'd like to suggest a practical improvement to part labels that would help operators quickly identify parts on the nest sheet without extra steps. Current situation: Our labels already show a small furniture preview image (see photo). This
Parts Nesting Position on the label
Hi everyone, I have a question regarding part labels in Microvellum. Is it possible to display the part’s nesting position (ID/number) directly on the label (sticker)? For example, so the operator can easily identify the part’s location in the nest sheet.
Router Simulation
Trying to find the router simulation so we can see what will happen before sending to the CNC. Is this hidden somewhere?
Hinge Info on Part Labels
Since I'm quite terrible at customizing reports beyond rearranging and sizing, can someone tell me how to add a line on the Part Labels giving the specific hinge used for that particular door? Thanks
Attn: Ratko Tubic - Tab Pull Back Rabbet Toggle
@Ratko Tubic - You posted/commented on the last / yesterday MV webinar about OPTION for the BACK RABBET on Tab Pulls - (and also the BACK DRILLING as well) - We did this already here. We / I added a Global Toggle Option to TURN the back RABBET
Foundation Reports - Why so slow?
Ok question ... Why are Foundation Library Reports SOOOO SLOOOOW For instance ... Work Order Summary - This dialog box below must flash like a dozen times! Obvious it's re-querying something all those times ... but why? (Happens with Nest Optimization
Allow post processor option to write horizontal hole boring to Face 5, Face6 or to both faces of g-code.
Currently Microvellum always puts horizontal drilling on Face 5. Since we have moved our CNC machining to mostly flat bed nesting, we are losing the horizontal holes from face 5. If Microvellum can have a checkbox option to create horizontal drilling
Associating Pull Screws to Pulls
Does anyone have an idea on how to associate the pull screws to pulls? How to add this to the hardware part?
Feature Request and Fix for Perfect Grain Containers
We’re running into situations where Perfect Grain Containers are being generated during optimization and causing issues in production. Has anyone found a reliable way to prevent or reduce this from happening? Also, I’d like to suggest adding an optimizer
Feature request: Scrap optimisation
In the new optimiser the "smallest X" and "smallest Y" feature disappeared. The byproduct of this old feature was to get a usable part on the less optimised sheet (usually the last sheet of a given material). It would be great to have the option to maximize
Report Generation taking forever after Library Update
We recently did a major library update from 22.0902 to 26.0220 and right now we are facing problems with report generation. Normally it used to take few seconds to generate the reports now it completely crashes the software. Also noticed that after the
Routed MDF Door Users
Any Routed MDF Door Users on the newest build? Are you have any issues with the machining? I am getting the following machining in Build 25.2.0406.641, but not in 25.1.1218.641.
Feature 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 together
priority tooling on the nest
Hello, can I assign priority to the tools on the nest, to cut dados, rabbets, drilling first and then cut the part? Thank you.
Feature Request: Product List / Overdrive: Jump to Current Room
I wish the Product List would automatically start with or jump to the 'current room' selected in the project tree. I think, for large jobs at least, this would at least help Product List / Overdrive load faster as it wouldn't need to load the entire list
Division Doweling in CCL vs FL
Not sure if anyone has had this issue ... or know they even have the issue. Drilling for DIVISION dowels in CCL was from the LEFT side (~3/8") for drillings and now in FL its from the RIGHT side. Thus drilling and doweling INCORRECTLY at the machine/shop
Stay Down Nesting - Not cutting corner on part
Anyone see this before? On stay down nesting, the corner of a part was not cut. Thanks!
Processing Center Has Slowed By A Lot
I hate make a post like this, but this problem is too bad for us to let go of. I have loved Microvellum and what it has accomplished. But this problem is costing us lots of time in the office. Is anybody else running into issues with the processing center
incorrect perfect grain nesting

Biesse Rover Edge
Best method of automating connection from MV to the Biesse Rover Edge (pod machine we use for edging curved profiles). Does anybody have this setup? We do very manual process - no part labels or anything. Operator imports dxf from a shared folder and
'F' table default drawer slide thicknesses
We were finding that drawer boxes were coming out a little too wide for the openings they're supposed to fit in. Looking into the 'F' table, we see that the E column values are for the most part set to the exact thickness of the slides, without any 'plus'
Grain Matching
Im have a grain matching issue with Misc Starter Parts, I made 3 different parts and I need them grain matched, I have added the Prompt for the perfect Grain along with the identifier and such. Ive attached a picture, The 2 outside pieces id like to match
Processing Rules Not Applying to Parts Foundation Library
We have recently switched over to the Foundation Library and noticed that certain parts when we go to process a job no longer get a Processing Station applied to them when we select all parts, and then Assign Processing Station Rules to Selected Parts.
Report Default Variables
This may apply to other reports as well, but for example the "Cost Based Estimating Report". When the report is opened there is a variable panel on the left side with Markup, Overhead, Tax, etc values as well as other checkboxes to easily modify the report.
