Trying to get some opinions on this and not really go to a sales rep yet since they are just going to say "Yes it works". I am a long time MV user and with that I know it takes a long time to produce a work order from a room that has over 200 productsFace 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 suctionMicrovellum Server Down?
Is the Microvellum Server down? Everyone in our office got a pop up message saying we could not validate our Microvellum floating license. We have internet access. So it must be the Microvellum Server, right?Microvellum Deauthorized Me as the Admin on MY ACCOUNT
I have had two seats on my PepperCADD account for literally decades. As of July Microvellum has set Chris Abubo, eng. mgr. at Spooner Woodworks as my Administrator. I haven't been working at Spooners for three years. Clay, Lenny, Chris E, they all knowMulti-pass Tool Not using small parts handling
I just set up my first multi-pass tool with incremental steps. Now my double pass onion skin set up is completely ignored. It works fine if I use the same tool but in as the one pass version. Any ideas?Unit Type Drop down Menu in Metric Template List as SqFt

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 withNesting Issue again
Dont know why i seem to be getting this sort of thing happening again, has something changed lately anyone else notice anything different in the recent updates? I had a tech come online to help me and we did go into the processor but i dont recall anythingProcessing 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

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.Work order summary by batch
I would like a report that shows only the products, hardware, sheets etc... used in a single batch of a work order. How can this be accomplished?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 findRegarding Reports
Hi there, wondering if anyone knows how to simply select a directory location before running a report? For instance, I would like to be able to choose for the save location to be a specific folder so that I don't have to go in and move them everytimeCombine 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

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 manualHelp with Door and Drawer Front Detail Report

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
