Match Color Scheme
The title bars colors for the project level and library level, spec groups are opposite their respective spec groups icon colors. Can the icons be updated to match the title bar, banner color of the spec groups they represent?Tooling assigned by Material Type
We have a nested CNC machine. Can the software determine what tool to use based on material type when generating a nested work order? We would like our step tool to be pulled for cutouts on MDF and then for all veneer core plywoods in the same work order it would pull our standard 3/8" compression default routing tool.Tool Change for small parts
Just read a topic about using a 900 tool for small parts. I've been doing that for a while and it works well, But I have to change the tool in the nest, does Microvellum not have a method to utilize the parameters that we set for a small part to callUsing a Multitool for Double Passing Small Parts
We still have issues small parts moving on our CNC. I have my nest setting to double pass small parts. The issue is that it uses the same tool for both passes. Is there a way for me to use a different tool on the final pass? For example, we us a 1/2"Copying a Room in Product List
Is there a way to get a room you copy from the product list to actually draw the products on your drawing? I have some exam rooms that are similar to one room I have already drawn, but I want to make make minor changes here and there to the products withinNesting Tabs defaults
I am wondering what default values for tabbing are being used by others in the group. Also how many passes take place before the tabs are finally cut off. We are having issues with losing parts when using tabbing.setting for edge banding
Hi there, We met a issue about the edge banding material set up different with the manufacture dimension. For example, the panel dimension is 2250*605 and should have the edge at 2250&605, one of each. Normally we use 1mm & 2mm edge material, and ourHow do you remove a border route?
I have to cut sink cutouts in a various hardwood tops. We are putting the panel on the CNC already cut to size, we just need the sink cut out. I have a multipass set up and everything seems to be good to go. However, I do NOT want it to try and cut outSolid Model Analyzer - Material named "-BLOCK"
I used Solid Model Analyzer to create a Microvellum product from a 3D model created with Solid Modeling Tools. Some parts had its material name changed to "-BLOCK" instead of the material I assigned it in the 3D model. Some of these parts are just simpleCreating formula for boring holes for name tags on drawer fronts
Hi, I'm trying to create a formula for a cabinet in my library that's going to get a name tag on the drawer fronts (it's a drawer bank for a dispensary where they storage the goods). We are making about 70 of these dispensaries and the cabinet might growUsing part names in processing station rules
We use premade drawer parts, currently MV is sending them t the CNC because it has face 5 machining. Is there any way to filter out parts by name in the rules so my drawer sides and backs will go to the saw instead of the router? I don't want to getPLINE Token unique feed rates
Is anyone using the third column in the PLINE token to apply a feed speed per vector and override the toolfile rates? I've used this feature a long time ago in V67 (to slow down the feed of a route doing an corner clearance cut on the exit side of passageGood Quality Router Bit
Hi team, I wanted to see opinions on good quality CNC router bits. I have to machine about 600 sheets of 3/4 veneer plywood and wanted to see about getting a good quality bit that can run thru it fast and leave a nice clean edge. I currently use a 3/8Nesting Tabs
I created a nest of parts using True Shape Nesting and Automatic Nesting Tabs. The composite drawing looks good with the Tabs, but when I look at the G-Code, some of the tabs are missing. This seems to happen occasionally. Is this a bug in my Post Processor?Computer Resources
Is there a way to make Microvellum use more of the computer's resources when processing Work Orders? I have powerful CPU and GPU with 64 GB of RAM. I'm trying to nest a lot of parts and use auto-tabs. When I try to process these parts, it takes a veryLength and Width Trim value at Processing Center level
Is there a way to change the amount of trim you want to give to a material at the processing center level without having to go back into library specifications and creating another work order when you change the trim value?Adding Linebore to Blind Corner Panel
Tried to add a Machining Token for Adjustable Shelf Holes on the inside of a blind corner panel but couldn't get it to work. I ended up drawing the part in 2D and adding the machining there. But is there any reason why this method wouldn't work? Am IPencil round doors on cnc
Hi Was wondering if anyone out there uses the cnc to pencil round their doors and panels whilst cutting before finishing? Just to try to do one more thing before it hits the floor so there is less manual labour. I want to include returns as well as mostRebuilding the products of a room from a processed work order??
Trying to backstep my process, I copied a room and made a lot of changes. For whatever reason my AutoCAD crashed. I restarted without any problems, but when I went back to the original room that I copied, all the products are missing in the productSolid Model Analyzer - Grained Material
I created a few custom 3D products and the material is grained. I used Solid Model Analyzer to create the Microvellum products. And when I nest the parts, Microvellum optimizes the parts without considering the grain direction. I guess Solid Model AnalyzerSheet set Not Publishing to Adobe PDF

Trying to make a corner notch at 3 1/2" but getting this error message that it must be greater than 4". Does anyone know where I can change this to be able to get a smaller notch?Defining Feed Speed Per Material
I've read a handful of topics/articles/videos on this topic, but I'm still running stuck. I cannot get a different feed speed for a particular material. I have a 0.75 MDF material which I want to override the border tool with tool 1 and a feed speed ofSaw 45 degrees
It would be nice to have the option to put the SAW at 45 degree!Wine Rack Trellis
I'm working on a Tall Cabinet with pigeon holes and I'm using the Wine Rack Trellis subassembly. My product is entirely 1" thick MDF. But when I change the Wine Rack material to 1" thick, 2 things happen. 1) I get a "Lap Joint" cutout instead of thePart Optimization
Hi all, I'm having a problem trying to batch some cabinets. When I batch all my Components, I only get a few that are optimized and a large majority of them do not, even though show being "x"ed in the default row. Then when I run a "Parts Not OptimizedMachining on fixed shelves subassembly
We use a "Blind Pin" detail on our Mail Slot Cabinet with 1/2" Thick Shelves. I'm using the Fixed Shelves EQ Subassembly in a Tall Open Product. I changed the shelf material to 1/2" thick and the Construction Holes to 5mm. But they are not centered onIn Processing Center move "Reports" from "General" menu to the Main Menu
The most common task in the Processing Center I run after processing parts is printing reports. It would be nice if I didn't have to dig for the "Reports" menu. This should be included in the Main Menu bar. Preferably after "Scrap Options"Problem with Shelf Locations in different Spec Groups
In one Spec Group the shelves work fine, but in a different spec group, they are not placed inside the cabinet. i see that there is a problem with the "Z" position but don't have any Idea how to fix it. If it works in one Spec Group but not in anotherRouters 'do not have valid diameters'

When I use Solid Model Analyzer to create a Microvellum Product from a 3D solid using Solid Modeling Tools, some vertical parts are created like it was horizontal part. The assigned material has no grain. Also, the part is drawn vertically. How do youProduct List Accuracy

We typically do not use the Bottom Nailer in our Base Cabinets. But in situations where we remove the bottom and run the back to the floor, I want this to be added. I changed the Bottom Nailer Prompt prompt to: =IF(Remove_Bottom=1,Use_Bottom_Nailer,0)More Formula Help
