Vector Location Formula Adjustability
Hello, I'm trying to make a custom draw box and want to add a rebate that can adjust to the length of the draw side. I'm using a PLINES5 token with the vector location 540;18;4.2|0;18;4.2 I want to have the 540 location adjustable to any length the partNesting Optimizer Dosen't Rotate Parts to Fit On Sheet
Hello, Have this fairly basic curved Die Wall that overall is larger than a sheet of 4x8 plywood but if rotated Wall Plates should fit on a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Unfortunately Microvellum Nesting Optimizer refuses to do it and I get no nests. I maxedTotalling Like Variables on Reports
Hi, I'm pretty sure this is gonna take some really extensive knowledge, but I'm trying to calculate the total amount of laminates through our reports. I have created two user variables which use the code and separate the code based on a character and generates a list of the two laminates. I am doing this within the PlacedSheets.Code and PlacedSheets.Sheets.HandlingCode. I want to be able to take these variables and get the totals of all the like variables. Shown below are the panels we need to order"AP" (All Parts) Command Not Working in "Update Existing Machining Instructions & Gcode from Drawing"
When updating nested sheets & parts, attempting to use the "AP" command within the Update Existing Machining & Gcode Button does not work, I receive an error: "No Border Found". What am I doing wrong? Attached is a screenshot of the error.Make Library Designer so you can update 1 or more cabinets from a library at a time.
When making improvements to a library, I usually make a new project and room to place cabinets in that I want to modify. Then, once mods are completed, I can save back to the library. When I open Library Designer, this saved cabinet is not in there with the features i added. The library has to be deleted, and then added in again. This is a lengthy process. I want to copy prompts I made in one base cabinet to all the other base cabinets. My request is that I can update the one cabinet withoutDisplay top view dimensions and model name
I was just wondering if there is a setting in autocad that would turn on dimensions and model name in top view for a cabinet? My co-worker and I compared his cutx file that controls this against mine and they were identical. But his cabinets all displayUnable to print report
Hi everybody! I suddenly became the "microvellum" girl at my shop, and we just recently updated ourselves with the 2023 update on our three computers. Two of those are working perfectly, but there is one that won't print any report at all. She can createNesting SMA Parts
Am I not allowed to move nested SMA parts? It appears that the Composite file is showing a single entity per sheet for the routes rather than individual parts.Reports in Spanish
How can I get our English language reports to print in Spanish? As a test, I thought maybe our reports were linked to the Registry entry CultureFunctional : en-US. I thought changing this to es-US, would change the language to Spanish. It did not. Examplescrap management
Does anyone know if there is a function of the scrap management controls that will allow you to make single trim cuts to square off material drops. instead of wasting time routing full squares? our Cabinet Vision sofware has this option, by my MicrovellumPart Specific Tooling?
Is there a way to apply specific tooling to specific parts? I know you can specify tools to material, but is there a setting or formula to specify a certain tool to certain parts? I want our CNC to be routing with a downcut bit when cutting out systemProduct Label Image Size Increase
Is it possible to increase the part image size on a product label? I increased the field size but the image doesn't scale up. Thanks.Formatting Fraction In Reports
Hi Everyone, How do I go about formatting fractional units in my reports. I use the metric library and am trying to add secondary units in my reports, for my customers that like imperial. Right now the fractions are coming out to the closes 1/2". WouldFace 6 Cutting Edge
Hi, Our workshop have reported that when we run a specific part that required a 11.8mm channel for LED strip both sides. That on face 5 it comes out fine, but on face 6 the code goes awry!, for some reason, the cutting edge flips from LH Cutting edgedpanels cutting out wth step in edge
Hey guys - we have just had a new CNC installed and our panels are consistantly coming out with a step in the edge - has anyone encountered his before? I normally cut with a 0.5mm onion skin and take that out on the 2nd pass. We are ramping the lead inHinge Location Reports For Doors
I am trying crate a door report that list the location for the hinges. I created a prompt in the subassembly called bottom_hinge_location, but I am having trouble pulling this into the report to display. Any one know how to get this data to populate?How to add a dynamic product image to a report
Hi everyone, I'm currently working on modifying the Product Detail Report and i'm struggling to add a dynamic product image. The objectiv is to get the front elevation view as well as the section view, but all i'm getting is the isometric view and I can'tMaterial Specific Tool
Is there a way to set a tool (specifically a router) to machine specific materials within a nest? I want to set a specific router to route laminated boards separate from our dedicated perimeter router.Lock Hole Diameter Settings
I am having a hard time remembering where to change the diameter of a lock hole. Currently our National Cam lock setting is routing a 7/8" hole, I need this hole revised to a 3/4" hole. I've been looking in the Lookup Tables, but the only formula in thereOrientation Marks
I am looking to add a drill hole at the top of our sides, backs and bottoms. Is there a setting within the Globals to make this change and have these parts marked? I am working in a Library from 2017, so obviously there may be major changes since thenIs anybody using ERP to estimate countertop production labor?
We use our beam saw to cut parts off of a manually generated cutlist. We don't use our router to cut top decks or splashes or anything. The entire process is manual, from start to finish. Has anybody come up with a way to estimate the labor required forEdgeband Symbol on Product Label Image
An "X" is used on the part image to denote an edge to receive banding regardless of edge type or color. Is it possible to use a different symbol per edge type?Getting grain matched doors/drawer faces with Saw Optimizer
Hi, Our shop is relatively new, we are also new to MV and are just starting to explore what Microvellum can do. That being said, our main workhorse in the shop is an SCM sliding saw. I use the Saw Optimizer on MV to generate the cut lists for the shopFeature Request: More advanced GCode naming options
It would benefit us and hopefully others to have the ability for GCode filenames to have more than 8 characters. I think in 2021 we can move beyond the 8 character filename limit that Windows imposed on us in the past. Currently the only options are "ItemReport - Display Dual Dimensions in mm and fractional inches

Hey all! I'm trying to create a report for our buy out counter tops that shows the finish that they will be and I figured showing the spec group in the report would be the easiest but I can't find the data string to do it. Anyone done something like thisStimulsoft code
I want to add a custom VB function to a report. I can create it, but can't seem to reference it from the report itself. I know I did this a few years back, but it seems different in this version. Anyone else tried this?Fatal Error
When I process a project, I sometimes get a Fatal Error and Microvellum needs to shut down. I process the job, assign the machining center to the parts and process the parts. When the processing is completed, the Fatal Error pops up, and Microvellum closesHow many Routes can you apply to an Internal Door Profile?
The Knowledge Base article I'm linking here seems to indicate you could assign up to 15 tools for the internal door profile: But when I am in the D! Workbook or view the LookupTable from the Door Wizard, it seems to only allow for 7: Can I use the AddReport Designer: Any way to list all rooms/work orders processed?
I'm trying to create a more intuitive report for our saw. I currently add the room/work order numbers into the title of the report before processing. This often loses half or more of the project name. I'd like to know if I can list out the rooms/work"Fourth phase cutting found with 4Parts . Those Labels will be skipped" message
I am using Ardis Optimizer but when we have perfect grain I get this message "Fourth phase cutting found with 4Parts . Those Labels will be skipped" and I don't get those labels. I been told by tech. support we have to make a request for this developmentPLINE5 OFFSET PARAMETER
Hey all, is there a way to get a PLINE5 Machine token to offset using local variables for the product? When I plug in a variable as one of the coordinates in this format (or similar) it is not recognizing it.

Hi, We have one issue to process different quantity damage parts in each product. For example, for item 1.01, we have 5 panels, and 2 was damage in production. So first panel need 3 quantity, the 2nd one need 10 pcs. How other company process this? AsRotate Small Parts on Vertical P2P CNC
I have run into this problem multiple times with multiple shops over the years, and with both Weeke BHX machines and Biesse machines alike. These vertical machining center utilize clamps to hold the parts and move them in the X axis. Typically parts likeSQL_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 correctionWork 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
