QUESTION: Is there a way to have reports in report groups automatically select the correct processing station?
We just started utilizing Report Groups, which we really like, overall. When creating the Report Group, I have them auto-generate upon processing a Batch. I then set up the processing station that I wanted to trigger the generation of each report (shownNested Panels Report Page Break On Different Sheet Stock

I am new to scrap management and trying to use it for the first time on a job. I entered 18 sheets of scrap we have of Melamine.

I figured out how to use the Cabineos and successfully have the edgearray machine token and all that. But when it goes to machine these, it is picking up our 5mm and trying to bore the 15mm hole with that bit. I cannot seem to find a place to change it to rout and setting a different bit like our 1/4" or 3/8" compression. We do not have a 15mm drill bit but can get one. But where would I even set that tool number? As you can see, it is using the 3/8" bit for the pline which is for the Cabineo capReverse direction of border cut
Hi, We are cutting solid wood and the CNC operator has requested for the bit to run in the opposite direction from how it runs right now. Right now the bit travel in a counter-clockwise direction and they would like to see it travel in a clockwise direction.5-Axis Machining?
Is anyone using or testing 5-axis machining on a Biesse CNC? I am told it can be done with Microvellum by using machining tokens to send a machine based macro placeholders to run the macro locally on the machine. Can anyone confirm or deny this?Lead in fouls lock holes.
Looking for a little bit of help. When cutting a lock hole the lead in is fouling the side of the hole. Currently "My Offset Point" type setting is Tangent.

I am running into an issue with the back dado. I recently moved from MV 2019 to MV 2023. In 2019 the dado for the thick back almost looks like a pocket route. The bit selected will route in the shape of a rectangle. In 2023, the route is only a rabbetDust Control
Hi, We run sheets on a Biesse rover A FT (flatbed 3.6x1.8m) Prior to using MV there was a feature in BNest (Biesse's Software) where the sweeping arm would go over every board before it was pushed onto the unloading table. This would remove large amountsCombine 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.Exploded View With Part Numbers on Parts
Hey all, our group does a lot of custom work doing 3D solid modeling and then using the Solid Model Analyzer to create Microvellum Products. We use the Product Detail Report Style 3 to print out isometrics of the product from the Flatshot token that theProduct Warning Message Pop-Up Doesn't Expand Full Screen
When creating a W.O., a pop-up sometimes comes up listing errors (Product Warning Messages). The text is cut off horizontally, and height-wise, requires scrolling due to the small pop-up size.

If a part size is below a certain threshold, I would like Microvellum to automatically nest the part to a larger size that is determined at most likely the processing station. I'm thinking about longer rips of parts that may need to have a finished widthTouch-to-print Product Label UI

In the Work Order Name Configuration, we would like the "category" (folder) name to be an option to add. We have a project (ex. A1234, with "phase" folders underneath (ex. A1, A2, B1, etc). We'd like the work orders to be named A1234A1, A1234A2, A1234B1,Dado Tool - Global File <-> Toolfile
Hi, question: I've filled in (e.g.) Toolnumber 9 in my Globals to route dado's. That works for my primary CNC. However, I've got a secondary CNC where I'd like to mill the parts. This cnc's has Toolnumber 10. In the toolfile I've hit the checkbox forCutriteV7.xlxs File
Where do you save the Cutritev7.xlxs file so that Microvellum exports the proper information into Cutrite? We are currently pushing PTX files to Cutrite, but i do not think the Cutritev7.xlxs file has ever been implemented or configured properly withinBatch Name Report
I am wanting to add the batch name to a report we use at our Point to Point CNC. I know how to reference the data inside reports, but I cannot get it to populate with a new batch name. I can show "B1" but when I make "B2", it still shows "B1", I am notRoute Token Fail

I cannot find the setting to offset a nested part from the edge of a panel. There is an optimization setting in the Nest tab of the processing station call "Small Parts to Center", but it creates an offset relative to the panel dimensions. That is, forMachine Processing Improvement
Our company has over a dozen CNC machines that Microvellum prepares files for and sends directly to the machine. Unfortunately this definitely has a significant performance hit on our the processing time. Would it be possible to leverage a separate processHow to delete back shelf pin?

Hey guys, I recently had an IPP installed and noticed quite a few differences running our Biesse.
