Can Microvellum create face 6 G-Code First?
Currently when I process anything that needs face 6 machining, the code for any face 6 is created first. This leaves us with room for error as our machinist will sometimes go into "Auto Pilot" and just run each file as it is listed, leaving the secondBiesse Insider (XNC) post processor does not mirror gcode for mirrored parts.
Please help with the following issue. Our Biesse Insider (XNC) post processor does not mirror gcode for mirrored parts even though "Machine Mirrors Parts" is not checked in the Settings tab of the toolfile. The gcode created is always the same as forScrap Management Controls
We are looking into some form of scrap management, and I need a little more information on how Microvellums Scrap Management Module works. Does it have the ability to cut the offal into predefined sizes, instead of turning it to dust?

We came to Microvellum a few years ago now and the one and only thing that has never been as good as our old system has been the nesting. Normally we just use the default output and accept it as long as it matches our production managers sheet estimateAssigning a Tool to a material type
Hello Everyone, My CNC operator had a request for me. What he would like to do is use Tool 2 (lets say) on Veneer sheets but use Tool 11 (lets say) on Melamine sheets. It would be the same Routing type and size just a different tool number. The reasonFace 5 or Face 6 Associative Machining Between Two Panels
Is there a way to have associative boring or routing for one panel face 5/6 also go into an adjacent parts face 5 or face 6? Thinking of using a dowel to align two panels that sit face 5 to face 5 on each other.CutRite Grain Matching/Perfect Graining
Hey ya'll, For those importing Microvellum parts into CutRite, how are ya'll handling Grain Matching/Perfect Graining? By default, it seems that Microvellum adds the grain matching info that CutRite needs ("2DRW:1", "2DRW:2", ect) to the finished facesmulti pass tools converting to woodwop mpr with single vertical trimming not multiple
does anyone know how to make Microvellum multi pass tools convert to woodwop mprs in single operations and not multiples as it is does. Example if I have a 3 pass multi step tool it comes up as three seperate vertical trimming commands. Can there be aReport not updating values between work orders
Hey ya'll, Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue. I have a material summary report that's not always updating values for edgebanding between work orders. For example, the first work order I process once opening Autocad will output correctly,Additional Vertex For Lead-In In Nest
It would be great if MV could add an option in the nest processing settings to allow an additional vertex to be generated for the lead-in of part borders in the nest. We machine layups with Colorcore laminate frequently, in addition to being very expensiveCannot delete machining in 2D Part Editor

I've noticed that "Replace Product" doesn't actually replace products from the library, but instead replaces product prompts. While I see this limitation could be helpful for a lot of reasons, it would also be helpful to completely replace a product,Premill allowance not being added to cut
Afternoon, The problem I'm having is that when I output parts (to Ardis, which then distibutes it to our beamsaws) all the parts show up with the .03125 premill allowance missing. For example, a 5" wide spreader would have .125" edge banding on a singleCutRite/WoodWOP Shallow Pocketing
Just throwing this question out for anyone using CutRite/WoodWOP - are your DXF layer rules set up so that CutRite/WoodWOP processes pocketing G-Code, or are you letting Microvellum process the DXF pocketing? Our current setup, which we were using withEdge Number on Label
Hey, Is anyone aware of a way to get the edge number on the part labels? We are edge boring with a single NC. file containing all edges. Unfortunately, edge 1 is usually but not always, the top of the image. This makes it challenging for the operatorsChanging Nested Quantity
Does anyone know how you can change the nested pattern quantity? I have a sheet that was optimised to run 3 times with only 2 parts on it but I know that I can manipulate it to be run just once (opening the nest drawing and moving parts). Its really justRenaming Reports?
Is there a way to rename a report that shows up in the report selection list after processing a project? I use 5 specific reports and would like to add a number value (1., 2., 3. ect.) to the report names to keep those 5 on the top of the list. ScrollingDevelopment Roadmap
Is there a list of current and future developments that Microvellum is working on? It is very disappointing to me to see some of the same issue reoccurring here on the forum with no feedback from Microvellum. For example, the nesting ability for Microvellumdelete report

Trying to get machining for cams with a router doing the 20mm hole instead of using a drill.Adding sheet sizes in the processing center
How many of you have nested something only to realize you had one part that needed to be on a 5x10 instead of a 4x8. Or you viewed your nest results and discovered the one sheet of laminate in your nest only needs to be 4x8 not 5x12. What if you could just add the sheet size to the work order? I am not saying let us adjust thicknesses since that would only cause problems. But adding a sheet size or changing available sheet qty should not cause a problem and would be very useful.Splitting a project into phases
We have drawn a large job which now needs to be split in to phases (Phase 1 and Phase 2, for example) and we need the phase name to be shown on the report and the ptx files. Our only 'work around' we have is to rename the file each time we wish to save35mm Router
I have obtained a 35mm tool that we want to use in a tool holder as opposed to in the drill block to route our hinge cup pockets with. At the machine this tool will be set up as a router with the function set to drill vertical blind holes since its essentiallyIs anyone printing labels in the shop for items that are getting worked?
I want to print labels for subassembly parts that travel throughout the shop, getting built and ultimately ending up at assemble. A few examples would be printing drawer box labels that get used after drawers are built, 5pc doors after they are built.mpr files do not update on one of our users computers
when one of our users are trying to update his nest gcode in the composite drawing it does not update the .mpr file that goes to woodwop on our homag n700 machine. All other users are able to update codes and the files update. we dont know if this isLabels automatically print when processing
We are just working into the foundation library and whenever I process a job it automatically prints the labels, any ideas on how to turn this off? I'm glad the printer didn't have too much paper in it the first time but have since switch to PDF as defaultInclude all routes for part optimization (to avoid collision during a nest)
The biggest culprit for this issue in my company is when we use our 45° miter bit, it will have a collision radius of 19mm when it's cutting 19mm deep. 3/4" one and done gap will be too large to have on a regular basis, and we only miter a few parts inSaw Patterns - Flipped Sheets
We run a split flow process (patterns processed between beam saw vs. nesting), fed from an automated panel management system. Often times, same work order will run multiple batches, some materials (with machining) to nest, and those without machiningPart Labels
I have a situation with my part labels that makes it difficult for the machine operators. There are certain parts that have edgebanding but do not have Hboring that does not print the WMF drawing on the file. In the attached sample, the one part has edgebanding2D Dimensioned DXF image too light to see on reports
We'd like to use the Dimensioned WMF (2D DXF image) on our reports. However, when we do so, they show up so light that they are barely visible. No matter what layers/lineweights I assign in the template, it doesn't affect the resulting image. On someMissing Vertical Drill
We have had one BHX cnc running for a long time and are now going to set up a BHX 500 (similar but does two mirrored parts at a time). To start I copied the tool file and I will make adjustments as I learn the requirements of it. Question: with the sameLabels for Specific Parts
Is there a way to assign different labels to specific parts? We are having a time with our operator at the edge bander where they are not changing the premills based on the different types of edge band being used on different projects. EX: One job willChange name reference in reports
Hey all! We have manufacturing reports that right now reference the draftsman name in Microvellum, however that variable does not work great when we have multiple drafters working in the same project. What we would prefer is for MV to reference a localNext Page
