Nesting Tabs
I created a nest of parts using True Shape Nesting and Automatic Nesting Tabs. The composite drawing looks good with the Tabs, but when I look at the G-Code, some of the tabs are missing. This seems to happen occasionally. Is this a bug in my Post Processor?Print label - Select Process station
trying to create a label that only shows what has been sent to a certain Process station after optimisation does anyone have anything like that Print label - Select Process stationComputer Resources
Is there a way to make Microvellum use more of the computer's resources when processing Work Orders? I have powerful CPU and GPU with 64 GB of RAM. I'm trying to nest a lot of parts and use auto-tabs. When I try to process these parts, it takes a veryLength and Width Trim value at Processing Center level
Is there a way to change the amount of trim you want to give to a material at the processing center level without having to go back into library specifications and creating another work order when you change the trim value?Adding Linebore to Blind Corner Panel
Tried to add a Machining Token for Adjustable Shelf Holes on the inside of a blind corner panel but couldn't get it to work. I ended up drawing the part in 2D and adding the machining there. But is there any reason why this method wouldn't work? Am IPencil round doors on cnc
Hi Was wondering if anyone out there uses the cnc to pencil round their doors and panels whilst cutting before finishing? Just to try to do one more thing before it hits the floor so there is less manual labour. I want to include returns as well as mostRebuilding the products of a room from a processed work order??
Trying to backstep my process, I copied a room and made a lot of changes. For whatever reason my AutoCAD crashed. I restarted without any problems, but when I went back to the original room that I copied, all the products are missing in the productSolid Model Analyzer - Grained Material
I created a few custom 3D products and the material is grained. I used Solid Model Analyzer to create the Microvellum products. And when I nest the parts, Microvellum optimizes the parts without considering the grain direction. I guess Solid Model AnalyzerSheet set Not Publishing to Adobe PDF
I'm having an issue Publishing the sheet sets to Adobe PDF. I don't think this is an in house Tech Problem. Can Anyone from MV help me fix this? This is holding me up.MATERIAL LISTS
is there a way to print a report that would show all the materials on one sheet for a given project/report for square meters of doors to useed in particular kitchens
We are getting some varible pricing from our 2 pac painters we use. Wondering if there is a report that will show me square meters of doors and liniao meters of edges. Currently i upen the composite and work out the yield % of the sq meters of the sheetRear Modification Options
Trying to make a corner notch at 3 1/2" but getting this error message that it must be greater than 4". Does anyone know where I can change this to be able to get a smaller notch?Selecting a batch for printing reports or labels does nothing
So I am able to select specific batch(s) when printing Nesting Optimization reports and/or labels, but it doesn't show just that batch. It shows every page in the work order. I've been away for a while. Is there something more to select than the batchNesting and Sawing Report NOT matching tooling output
Hi, We are having some problems with our Nesting and Sawing Optimization Reports not matching the actual tooling outputs coming from the processing station. I have attached a screenshot of the Composite.dwg file (this shows the actual milling outputDefining Feed Speed Per Material
I've read a handful of topics/articles/videos on this topic, but I'm still running stuck. I cannot get a different feed speed for a particular material. I have a 0.75 MDF material which I want to override the border tool with tool 1 and a feed speed ofSaw 45 degrees
It would be nice to have the option to put the SAW at 45 degree!Edge band position on Nested Sheet WMF
Is there a way to edit the WMF stream for Placed sheets (Placed.Sheets.WMF.Stream) in order to show the edges where edgeband is applied in the nested sheet report? Thanks in advanceWine Rack Trellis
I'm working on a Tall Cabinet with pigeon holes and I'm using the Wine Rack Trellis subassembly. My product is entirely 1" thick MDF. But when I change the Wine Rack material to 1" thick, 2 things happen. 1) I get a "Lap Joint" cutout instead of thePart Optimization
Hi all, I'm having a problem trying to batch some cabinets. When I batch all my Components, I only get a few that are optimized and a large majority of them do not, even though show being "x"ed in the default row. Then when I run a "Parts Not OptimizedMachining on fixed shelves subassembly
We use a "Blind Pin" detail on our Mail Slot Cabinet with 1/2" Thick Shelves. I'm using the Fixed Shelves EQ Subassembly in a Tall Open Product. I changed the shelf material to 1/2" thick and the Construction Holes to 5mm. But they are not centered onIn Processing Center move "Reports" from "General" menu to the Main Menu
The most common task in the Processing Center I run after processing parts is printing reports. It would be nice if I didn't have to dig for the "Reports" menu. This should be included in the Main Menu bar. Preferably after "Scrap Options"Problem with Shelf Locations in different Spec Groups
In one Spec Group the shelves work fine, but in a different spec group, they are not placed inside the cabinet. i see that there is a problem with the "Z" position but don't have any Idea how to fix it. If it works in one Spec Group but not in anotherRouters 'do not have valid diameters'
Hi, We just transferred MV from an old workstation to a new one, and prior to this I did not receive this message. When I draw products, I am receiving two popup messages stating: The router named '3_8COMPRAMP' does not have a valid diameter. Make sureProduct viewer interaction product check
Is there any way to click on a product through Product Viewer or any other method to see what product it is in your model space? We have found from time to time that we have products in the Product Viewer that are not in model space and would get producedAdd Shop Location to Reports (and Work Order)
I created a UDPP for Shop Location, but do not know how to add it to a report. Following the tutorial for “Reverse Child/Parent relationship” I added Project Properties under the MV “Type” Database on a renamed current report. I found the Data SourcesText placement on nested panels
I remember someone mentioning somewhere before how to add part information to the panel rather than below the pattern in a composite which wasn't going to work for us, but we are doing some things now that it will be good for. Now I've tried it and it'sCan we add the the Length & Width label back to the part image for labels?
I have screen shot of an image from a past label where the part image had the Length & Width Labeled “in line” with the part image to show the orientation of the part. This was great and key when you have parts where the Length & Width of the part is close to the same size and you are then asking an operator to guess and possibly rotate a part. How can we add this back into the image? The current “OptimizationResult.WMF” doesn’t include the dims but it does have the H-Boring.

When I use Solid Model Analyzer to create a Microvellum Product from a 3D solid using Solid Modeling Tools, some vertical parts are created like it was horizontal part. The assigned material has no grain. Also, the part is drawn vertically. How do youHas anyone printed labels to a secondary tray in a printer?
We use a report group to print the 4 reports all at one time. We would like to add printing our labels to this report group so they aren't forgotten. We have our label stock and our standard printer paper in two separate trays in the same printer. IsPrinting Labels for pieces made from scrap/drop material
We use Microvellum and our storage system to log scrap/drop pieces of material. Our goal is to minimize scrap by using drops for small nests and make up parts. Is there a way , from Microvellum, to print labels only for the parts assigned to the scrap/dropProduct List Accuracy
Just noticing in the 2021 Standard build that the product list sizes are coming to full inches instead of what they actually are. The MV options are set to 1/64". Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks, MattFormula Help Adding Bottom Nailer to Base Cabinets when Remove Bottom Prompt is on
We typically do not use the Bottom Nailer in our Base Cabinets. But in situations where we remove the bottom and run the back to the floor, I want this to be added. I changed the Bottom Nailer Prompt prompt to: =IF(Remove_Bottom=1,Use_Bottom_Nailer,0)More Formula Help
Trying to see if I can turn the bottom nailer on/off using this formula but its not working. I posted a similar question earlier. I'm just trying to have the bottom nailer activated when the base bottom is removed. Just can't seem the make the formulaSuspended Cabinets Top Cleats
Even though I have the box checked to raise the top cleats, nothing happens. Is this something someone can point me in the right direction to fix or should I create a ticket?Product Comments On Reports
I am trying to figure out how to change what is printed on our "Work Order Summary" report in the product comments field. Originally when we started with Microvellum we requested that the comment field contain text indicating which ends of the cabinetBlind cabinet notch
Trying to get rid of the mouse hole created by the MV machining for notched Blind Panels on Upper Blind Corner Cabinets. Where is the control for that machining? We prefer to square by hand. We are using library v45. Thanks.Router Set Up Sheet?
We have 2 routers with a different number of spindles. Therefore we only set spindle 1, 2, and 3 with a specific tool in that spindle for both machines. Spindles 4 + the tool can change as needed on a job. Does anybody know how to write a report thatActivity Token not Valid - Workbook 'S'
Library 50_3 and 48_0 I am having an issue where when using the 50_3 library I am continually getting an Activity Token not Valid - Workbook 'S' error when creating a new workorder with any cabinets. When using our older 48_0 library I don’t get thisRotating parts in the parts Dwg
Would it be possible to add a rotate part function for the single parts drawing that would update the optimized parts table and indicate the part has been rotated (for a specific work station). Since there are very few controls for the part orientationRemove Perfect Grain
Hi all, i have read the articles about how to apply perfect grain to a cabinet, however I have not seen anything about how to remove perfect grain from one or two cabinets. I would like to have perfect grain on at all times for the job, but I do findNext Page
