SQL_Express
hello, I can't create new project anymore, so I thought it was because my SQL_Express was full, so I went to Toolbox set-up/options/utilities/database management to delete projects and workorders. But my database size still remains at 10386.19 MB. I canAutomatically adjust border routing depths when moving parts between compositions
I think it would be very useful for border routing depth to automatically adjust to match the composition thickness. When moving parts between compositions of different thickness in the nest composite I have not found a good way to make this correctionSolid Surface Counter tops
Is anyone producing Solid Surface counter tops using Microvellum? If so how did you get it setup? Would you be willing to share the product or imformation? v050_7Work order part sorting
In a recent build, part sorting in the work order window has been broken (it worked in the past) In split flow processing, we send various parts to different processing stations within the same work order. Example we would sort by say Material Name ASC,Changing depth of border routes in the nest composite
I am curious to see how other users change the depth of border routes in the nest when moving parts to a thicker material. If, for example, I have a small filler that is released to come out of a 3/4" PL1-PL1 layup but have room for the part on a 1" PL1-PL1Scrap sizes on labels
How can get the stickers to print the correct size of the scrap. currently it just shows the full sheet size.Multiple Product Labels For Single Product
Is it possible to generate multiple product labels for a single product? I would like to do this for the "Shelves with Shelf Std" product, creating a product label for each shelf, as they are usually too large and heavy to wrap together for shipping.Scrap management
We have just started using the scrap feature of the software. Our machine has an auto loader for the sheet goods. The operator is having a tough time because when we process a job the scrap pieces are mixed in with all the full size sheets (no logicalreports error
When I process a work order I do not get any report in the report group. Also, if I try to manually generate a report I get this error. I've tried rebooting, logging out of the server and reconnecting, deleting the work order. Nothing works. Any ideJ Pull
Can someone assist us with setting up the machining on the J Pull handle. Once J Pull is selected we can't find where the machining lookup table is. We need to add our tool to the lookup for it to machine correctlyPart Grain Direction - None
There are times when a part grain doesn't matter even though it's made out of a grained material. For example, toe kicks and stretchers could have the grain running in either direction if it meant better yield on the sheet. Would be helpful to have anPart description in gcode drawings
We recently updated Toolbox, and I've lost a preference I once had. After processing a work order, the drawings have the part names and dims on top of the parts in the Composite.DWG for that material, where they used to have numbers on the parts and columnsBase drawer
How do you edit your drawer front sizes on a base cabinet, 4 drawer bank? Our setting is set for our top drawer front to be 6". When we put our drawer bank cabinet in, it made all the fronts equal size. ThanksHow does MV figure linear footage in reports?
I want to learn how MV figures footage in the reports and somehow use that information to have PLAM edging (8' lengths) added to the cut-parts that I am currently importing into CutRite. Right now I'm doing this manually if the job requires PLAM edging.Add Processing Errors for Incorrect Values
In the old version of MV that we ran before upgrading to MV7, if there was an issue with a value for a part size in the parts list (ie the width field would show “VALUE!” as opposed to an actual number, usually due to a miskey when entering a product),Hatch polyline settings
I want to do a pocket route in some lettering we are cutting out on our CNC and I can't seem to be able to change any settings for the hatch polyline, I would like it tighter than the automatic offset that MV is giving me. Is there a way to change thatFeature Request: Report Group Output Location Name Modifiers
1. There are several options for customizing the subdirectory for the Report Group output, however there doesn't seem to be a way to include a custom file path since "\" is an illegal character. What we would like to do: %WORK_ORDER_NAME%"\Report GroupReport Help
On our nesting summary, we have a column for Project Name which works fine until we process multiple different projects together and then it just shows the first (or last) name it finds. Does anyone know a way i can put a condition in so that if it detectspart lables
We dont currently use part lables, our staff know the parts quite well, its seems a waste of time to lable everything for no reason, but was wondering if theres a way to select cabs that may need lables and just apply them to relivent pieces when neededSort the collumn in the window additional prompts
Hi, I can't have my collumn right swing and left swing side by side. See the pictuce. Can we have this in a update please?Good-one-side designation
We regularly have Good one side board that is required for doors and drawer fronts (with holes needed in the degraded side) and for other panels with holes or rebates needed in the good side, as well as panels with no holes. Rather than having to setupautolabeling reprint
Hi; to remake parts outside of Microvellum, Just scan the barcode of face 5 for the unit program and remake the part, its work perfectly! but I find it difficult to reprint the label, because the name of the label is not saved on the DB. Can you addAXYZ CNC Nesting
Has anyone ever used a AXYZ flat table to process nests on out of Microvellum? If you have what are your opinions regarding the run times and such? What are your biggest problems, concerns, dislikes?Drawer export as a .csv file
Hello, We are developing an ERP for a client who is a drawer manufacturer. Most of our manufacturer's customers use Microvellum. Our client would like to offer its Microvellum users the ability to export drawer dimensions so that this export can beCopy room from one project to another
It would be great to be able to copy a single room from one project and place it in another project. This would be helpful when doing our builder work that mix and match from previous projects.How to delete a Batch within a Work Order
Is there a way to delete a Batch within a Work Order once it is created? We do write on top of existing Batches if they are incorrect, but sometimes it would be beneficial to be able to delete the batch.Tool File - Field Offsets
Does anyone use the field offsets in their tool files? We run a decent volume of parts on our matrix table and offset certain parts 10" in X and Y to prevent part movement. Our operators typically make these changes on the fly at the router CPU but verySort Nest By Material Name
When nested based processing, does anybody know of a way to force the sheets to be placed in a particular order? Example: I'm nesting 50 sequence & end-matched custom-layup panels. The individual panel definition is at the end of the material name (e.g.Exporting CSV from from a report
Does anyone have any experience exporting CSV files from their reports? I seem to be having mixed results. I was able to export a spreadsheet with all of the part data I needed. Now I'm trying to create a report that will export all the hardware withinadding routes to nest
is there a way to add a route in a nest and have it run after the border route. we use an 1/8" bit to go back and clean out inside corners but it needs to be done after the part border is already cut. we created a 2 pass bit to do this because the smallerPO Numbers
It would be great if Microvellum let us add a PO Number to the job we are working on in the Project Properties. That way we could pull in that data and print it out on our labels and put it on all of our products for easy tracking. Is this a feature weTouch-to-print Product Label UI
Is there functionality in either Toolbox or MM where shop personnel can click to print a product label at assembly? Similar to click to print parts/entire sheet from optimization results in MM. Essentially looking for a quick method of printing singlebest 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 forDrilling In Multiple Steps.
Is it possible for MV to output the code to drill a hole in multiple steps? I just finished a project where there were multiple 1" deep Ø5/64" holes. Since drilling in one pass would likely break the bit the CNC operator had to go through the time consumingFace 6 first - reversed for shaker doors
We have a job coming up with shaker doors similar to the attached. We are set up to do face 6 first machining and I'd like to do as much as possible on the cnc. Is it possible to do face 5 first, then flip? I think the sheet will lose too much suctionFeature Request: Show Work Order number from within the Processing Center interface
We use "Products.WorkOrder.WorkOrderNumber" as an identifier on our reports. This gives us a unique, MV generated ID Number for each work order (work order name is often duplicated and easy to mistake one for another). We would like to be able to seeRotate Nested Parts
Recently our CNC operator point of that it would be nice if the the parts in the nest were rotated 180 deg so the backs of the cabinet where against our fence instead of the face of the cabinet. See image below for example. Is there away to tell microvellumGive choice to change the part quantity in processing station
I would like MV have a choice for cnc programmer to change part quantity in processing station. For batch job or for replacement part. I don't want to process all the quantity, i only want to do 1 or 2 or 3... see below image for change quantity.Shelf Line Bore Holes
Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with my line bore holes, They aren't there. The last project I just did worked fine, Started a new project, same spec group, same everything and no shelf pin holes. I have copied the spec group from the last job withProduct List/Overdrive Pro
Why does the Product List/Overdrive Pro window close every time I redraw a product? It would be very helpful if it would stay open until I manually close it, or until something significant happens like changing projects. Anyone else agree?Next Page
