Anyone use Lamello Cabineo connectors? Machining issue drilling vs. routing
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 have also tried vertical, perpendicular, and none but all either foul the hole or cause theAdding Text to show up on the Nesting Optimization Report

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 amountsExploded 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.

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

(Also, the new one have black dot the other have green dot, what does the colours means?) We use to add every new"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

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"

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 systemNext Page
