Dust 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. I expanded the pop-up to be full screen, but the window insideAdding Text or Blocks to show on nested parts.
The option to add text or 2D blocks to parts that will show up on the parts when nested. Hoping to add a visual aid to the nest for the workers in the factory. These blocks would also need to show when printing the nesting optimization report. AnotherMinimum Nested Part 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
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 singleFEATURE REQUEST - Project Category as option in Work Order Names
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 withinRoute Token Fail
this Rout is a global prompt we set up. Its 8mm deep all the way, it has worked several times previously. on MV it shows correct, nothing has changed. but the CNC is showing a diferent path. It routes strait throuh the panel and into the spoil board.Nested Parts Offset from Panel Edge
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?
When width of shelves are bigger than a certain length, MV adds automatically hole pins in the middle of the back. How can I delete them properly?Hinge Position to Shelf
Hi Just wondering if there is a prompt or a tick box that will allow to have the hinges not hit shelves or anything like that and have it automatically move up or down by say 100mm?Adding Materials
Hi I noticed this week that there's new materials in my Template specification Group Setup. None of the tech should have access to add any. (Also, the new one have black dot the other have green dot, what does the colours means?) We use to add every newHas 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 using"Setup Report Groups" - Add Additional Name Modifiers for Reports
Hello, We are using more than one machine to process material and was wondering if it all possible to make a name modifier that adds the processing station to the file names. i.e. %PROCESSING_STATION_NAME%Machine Speeds set by MV
Hey guys, I recently had an IPP installed and noticed quite a few differences running our Biesse. The main one that I can't get past is the machines speed being controlled by the machine operator and the speeds set on my materials are now useless, meaningNesting Patterns are leaving half the sheet or more
When I optimize, the parts end up being split across multiple sheets unnecessarily, leaving half the sheet or more. The amount of parts, part sizes and part material is inconsistent each nest, sometimes works fine, sometimes it doesn't. See attached screenshots.Drawer Divsion Dado
Trying to get a foundation library intro prouduction for our company. A few tweaks left... I cannot these variables: variable to turn off the dado at drawer divisions - see attached How to turn off borings to on the stretcher maybe to attach countertops?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.Face 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 thenNext Page
