Nest Station won't turn grain parts 180 deg
I'm having this problem with the nesting where it will not flip grained parts 180 deg. This causes me issues on ADA side panels. Some of these parts need turned so that they can fit together like the non-grained melamine parts do. I have to keep manually

Material & Labels with Finish on them
How have people managed to get the material finish written on the labels. I want it so that each label will say whether its lacquered, painted or no finished, BUT its all the same material like birch ply so does not effect nesting in any way and its not
Using MV to Provide Cut Files for Outsource

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 second

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 faces

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 expensive

Replace Product
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 single
CutRite/WoodWOP Shallow Pocketing

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 save
