How are you guys managing your files in Microvellum. It is very limited compared to V6.7. There is only one layer.Under Panel Led Strip Lighting
G,day Microvellum. Foundation Build 25.1.603.641. So I have a job with some Under Panels with led strip lighting. I fill out the required field in product prompts (Picture 1) so that my led light chase is 18.1mm wide and 11.3mm deep, cut it on the CNCCut List (part) import
Is there a simple way to import a cut list of parts with edge banding? I can import a product with size, material, item number, room # using the example "Example ABC Cabinets Import File.xls" I found here. Works great if I'm just importing cut parts withProcessing 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
The server is up and running, server seems to be working normal that end, but my client pc is not able to connect, i disabled the firewall just to try see if that was blocking it or anything. This all happened last night when no one was hear and we hadVertical Drill Pecking Function Issues
I'm trying to use the Pecking Number function for drilling into 3/4" Starboard (polymer/plastic) as a single plunge will create a buildup of material on the bit which eventually scores the surface of the material.

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.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 findCombine 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
Hi, I get this error code on my cnc when i go to run a face 6 program before running face 5 program. Loading G code alarm! 1. No tool number is set when performing tool length compensation 2. No tool number is set when performing tool length compensationHow to draw product placed from product list?
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 manualWill deleting work order put scrap back into inventory
We run preliminary work orders to order our materials from. I'm assuming I need to check the "Suspend scrap auto-consumption" so that it doesn't use scrap from the inventory. If I ran a work order and didn't check the box will it put the materials bMove parts In the nest
It'd be great to know if there's any keystroke shortcut for move parts on a nest "Nest tools -part placement move part- "Perfect grain
In the spec group settings under perfect graining, theres a check box to turn perfect grain on for drawer fronts and doors. Is there a way to turn it on, only for Drawer fronts and not for the doors?How to create this vector location/PLINE5?
This my first look at Vector locations. In my picture I am trying to create the white line in the part on the right. So basically a triangle I want with a 1.5 wide/.25 deep notch on both corners. Can anyone tell me how to tweak this vector code. The partHow to get pop ups to show after checking "do not show"
I hit do not show on a popup and I need to have the pop ups come back so I can see if it is overwriting the work order when processingLittle help....
I am trying to figure out what these extra machining ops are on my drawer sides. They are on all of them. Location is kind of random as you can see in the screenshot. The first image shows the red figure 8looking machine marks. They are on face 6 of thebest way to do small parts in nesting?
Hi, Just want to discuss this again. Most of time, for small parts we put it in center or do onion skin to avoid the part move when it is in nesting. Now we want to try out reduce speed in order to prevent the small parts move. Is it good way? So forSmall Part Tabs
Can someone point me in the right direction to increase the size of the small parts so tabs are used? I am always having to add tabs to small parts.Combining face 6 with face 5

This might be a simple question, is ithere an easy way to set a double rebate on a single glass door. I have a client that wants a brass mesh insert at the front and 4mm glass behind. I can set the glass rebate, but is there a second option for a secondRearranging optimized parts are not making it to the CNC
When I rearrange parts, I of course "update" it and then I print the page for the operator but it isn't making it to the machine the way I rearranged it. Apparently I'm doing something wrong...suggestions from the community?Perfect Grain control with Drawer Banks
Not sure what's going on? and how to change / control the grain . Had issues with this ins the past project but only with one cabinet, which I think I copied a formula over from a cabinet which was being nested / optimised correctly and made it work (Bluebeam does not recognize scales from Toolbox created PDFs
We create PDFs using the Publish to “PDF” option with the PDF Preset “DWG To PDF”. This leaves much to be desired. First, when “Multi-sheet file” option is selected, the scale on the first sheet is applied to all the sheets. If “Multi-sheet file” is notRouter tool height question
I have a 1/4" tool on our Northwood that I am using to perform a simple one pass route. Looking at the 3d of the cabinet I can see that the dado is there. And the machine operator said it did perform the function it just didn't go into the wood. ShouldCenterline Nesting with BIESSE
Hello everyone, Is anyone out there utilizing the centerline nesting option with a biesse router? I have a few questions. In the above picture we are attempting to use the centerline nesting feature. The leadin of the toekick route will interfere withDelete old patterns/part labels after manually rearranging parts nest?
We often have to re-arrange parts in the nest. Often we reduce the number of cut patterns by a few sheets. After we update the code, the old excess patterns & corresponding part labels (visible via MV Production) remain. How do we delete these?Tool Overide
Hello, We setup a tool override preceding with a pipe symbol and a "T" in front of the common tool name in the code field. When drawing the part in 2d and checking the layer info, the border route is still the default border tool setup in the tool file.Giving Nesting Priority to Specific Parts
Our CNC Operator has requested that we put all of our small parts like the stretchers and nailers together on our nest. If possible, he would prefer them placed on the first few sheets of their selected material. is there any way to give priority to aCustomize Work Order Report
Is there a way to customize the program Microvellum to spit out a report tailored to exactly what you need? I'm familiar with spreadsheet formulas, programming, etc. Is there a way I can go in and create a template for Microvellum to give a cut list inNext Page
