Machining from PLINE Not Showing Up in Work Order
I’ve created machining tokens using the 2D Part Editor, but nothing shows up when I process the Work Order. Has anyone else run into this issue, or know what I might be missing?Why does the Nailer Construction Method get Overwritten by Finished End Options
I recently had an issue where the nailers were dadoing into all my finished ends. The Construction Method for the Nailers were set to NONE. The Construction Method of the Finished Ends are set to Dado. I found that the Dado Machine Token is set to lookHow to add the dowel matrix to part label?
Looking to be able to add the dowel matrix to a scannable bar code we would put on a part label. How tough would that be? I saw a video but didnt really grasp at how to effectively add it to a barcode we can scan.A Report that shows saw pattern instructions?
Perhaps it's there somewhere, and I've just not managed to find it... Is there a report that shows the optimized saw patterns, with phased cut instructions? Most of the time we'd use our automagic machines... but sometimes they are unavailable for operation...Labels
We bought a Biesse ASFT nested based router our first. We are having problems getting the label information to the machine to print labels post processing. has anyone accomplished this and how ? Also I don't suppose any one has a label report for a 4"Part Label - Edge Indicator
Hello, We used to have labels for the parts in the shop. We'd like to update our information regarding the edges. I'd like to replace the 'X' on the part drawings with something else. For example: E = Exterior edge or I = Interior edge. Does anyone amongRFID Suggestions
Hello, We are a small custom cabinet shop (~12 employees) exploring the option of RFID. Our main pain point we think this might solve is our CNC machined fronts that we have finished out of house. Because we are a custom shop, we have multiple customnesting reports error
Since i started the free trail of bsb and my work is on the toolbox 2025 i now cant off nest layouts it comes up with error. i cant even open the report designer to check the same error pops up very annoying. see screenshot attachedProcessing and Printing?
While doing both of these functions my pop up windows for both do not come to the front of the same screen and switch from screen to screen. Any Ideas on how to fix this?Copy 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.Feature Request- Interface for Shop to process remakes in MV ERP
Imagine this...Let's say you run a work order on the floor, and there are 4, 6, or a dozen damaged parts....they slide on the router, or got dropped, etc. What if the operator could scan the filename on the part labels, and it would automatically createDrawer Bank Laminate
Is there currently a way to nest post laminate for multi-drawer banks with the saw optimizer so that instead of having separate plam pieces for each drawer front, it will nest them all in one oversized piece to grain match correctly chasing them withNesting Optimization Report Grain Direction
Is it possible to have sheet or part grain direction indicated on the Nesting Optimization Report?Report not reporting correct height.
The Report is not reporting the correct height for bar back panels. It is taking the overall height of 1000mm which is listed in the cut list, and it is removing the toe kick height. Its not a big problem but i can guarantee someone will make it to theModify Workorder parts material
In the Processing Center screen could the functionality to change the material of an individual part row be added? The modify work order screen for adding material size and changing material name has been very useful but I was wondering if Microvellum could go one step further with this functionality. My thought was a drop down arrow for each part in the material name column that would allow a user to select a different material for an individual row. The dropdown would only show material of exactlyOPTIMIZATION
i have a nest of 30 tall cabinets the same size and the nest has several sheets that are identical part layouts with different sheet quantities (see attachment). question is what parameter controls the quantity of identical part layouts, if that makesLabels missing edging
These labels are in my opinion missing the parts for the edge banding, except its not edge banding but a "face mounted Lip Down" piece of framework, there is nothing to tell the guys to apply an edge to these before painting.Modfying nests and toolpath generation
It might just be me, but when I was adding some cutouts in a part today and also later when changing set mill location of parts in a nest, I encountered a problem. First, i pasted the geometry of the cut through into the 2D part editor and after selectingMV Server Notifications
Hi All, We've set up MV Server to be able to create & process work orders remotely, although we've come across an issue where if there's an error during processing, there doesn't appear to be a way to know outside of reviewing the Event Log for a workMarking parts for CNC?
What is a easy way to mark cnc parts to keep the correct orientation for installation? We have curved parts need to label them so they get placed in the field in the correct orientation. Either letter fonts or lines cut into the part on the CNC wouldProduct viewer interaction product check

I’m doing a run of MDF profiled door and appliance panels. The doors process no problem, but the appliance panels do not want to nest. Any help is appreciatedStop auto printing of labels when processing work order
Hi, Every time I process a work order, it automatically sends the part labels to the printer which I do not want and I have just tried it on another user and does not do it even though all settings look the same. To my knowledge I have not changed anythingReport Modifying help
I start to understand modifying reports until something I think is simple just doesn't work. For our work order, I am trying to separate the edgebanding count by the comment field of our parts. We do trim, doors, etc. and that is defined in the commentReport Groups wont process all reports
This was a small issue in OEM but its a bigger in BSB, if it doesnt crash, then it just doesnt process my reports, i might get 1 out of my chosen 6 or so, if i'm lucky. I found that the move to BSB broke something and it was looking for referenced reportsFeature Request: Combine Work Orders
The ability to combine already set up work orders, without the need to choose specific parts because its already done, so it can then combine all the parts for nesting together. With the current set up it way to hard to go through and choose which cabinetsHas anyone made reports for 5pc door hinge boring?
This is always an issue for us and end up just hand writing the hinge placement on our 2D drawings for the guys in the shop. It would be awesome if there was a report for this using prompts. I was seeing that there is a Z value in the spread sheet usingThrough cuts
We are trying to get through cuts and can't figure it out. We were using brad point but the edges on the bottom side are not good enough so we got the through point bit from Frost but when we try to set it to -z.20" it doesn't cut all the way through.WoodWOP/Cutrite Multiple Pocket Configurations

Is there a way to process a new batch of cabinets in an existing Work Order? Right now, every time I run a new batch of cabinets, I have to create a new Work Order. We process cabinets for each room and every project has several rooms. This makes the Work Order folder grow very fast with so many folders. If I could add new batches of cabinets to an existing Work Order, I could keep all the batches from a project together in a single Work Order. This would reduce the amount of folders in the WorkGRAINING
i have a problem with graining. we typically grain drawer fronts horizontal and doors vertical and it set that way in the library but when i create a product and nest it the graining isn't taken into account ant the parts can be rotated any which way.license issues

Hello I am trying to set up a program with our miterfold aggregate head to receive an initial route out with our down sheer bit. The idea is to get some of the material out of the way before the miterfold head makes its pass to help with tool life. ILarge Work Orders
