Face5 or Face6 designation in filenames
We've got an IPP setup with a custom file name setting: <FileName>_<PartName>: How can we get an indication of "Face 5" or "Face 6" formatted into the filename where we want it? Using syntax like <Exp>stuff</Exp> doesnt work :-( Currently we get "5Face6"Tool issue

Im looking for some help in order to jumpstart my work cycle... Im hoping someone may have already created a custom countertop product report that they would be willing to share? Also is there a way on the product report to show an image of the actualFinished End vs Non Finished End Parts

What are people doing for varying thickness material, on only backboards? MV is setup to just groove, non thick back board's, with one pass, so in my case its using a 12mm cutter, to make a 10mm groove. 2mm is too much space and way too loose. I couldFatal Error
When I process a project, I sometimes get a Fatal Error and Microvellum needs to shut down. I process the job, assign the machining center to the parts and process the parts. When the processing is completed, the Fatal Error pops up, and Microvellum closesError when updating single part GCode

It would be great if MV could add an option in the nest processing settings to allow an additional vertex to be generated for the lead-in of part borders in the nest. We machine layups with Colorcore laminate frequently, in addition to being very expensiveCannot delete machining in 2D Part Editor
