Print text and dimensions added to composite (nested) drawings on Nested Optimization Report
We find it necessary to add additional text to the composite drawings for operators and fabricators for misc parts; wall paneling, diewall ribs, plates, etc. Currently the Report will not show any of the newly added information and each view has to be plotted. It would be a huge time saver if there was a layer that we could add the required information to and print on the Nested Optimization Report!Sawing optimizer optimizing each part on separate sheet.
After processing, somehow the sawing optimizer is optimizing each part on a separate sheet and giving me extra sheets than actually needed. For example, I have two doors in a product and optimizer is giving me those two doors on two separate sheets.Creating New Machining G-Code from Drawing in Single Part Editor
When I try to create a new machining G-Code from a drawing for a new work order, the first batch always gets an error saying "The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database...'". I click "OK" to the error message. The same error message pops up a couple of more times after clicking "OK" again. After 3 tries, it says the process is complete. Before processing, I checked for the work order folder and it has been created. When I try process it again afterwards, it works fine. All subsequentCut Part width and length different in label than in Nesting Optimization Report
We have an edgebander with premil, and we are trying to get setup with as much precision as possible so the cut size incorporates the banding thickness and the premill amount. While doing that, I used decimal units to get as much precision as possible. I notice the reported cut size on the label doesn't match the reported cut size on the Nesting Optimization report. I tried to go into report designer and figure out why there is such a difference, but that's pretty advanced for me and I was unableMachining Updates
Today I am editing G-Code, again. We have a project with thousands of 1.5" holes is 1.5" hardwood. What I am doing is programming this with a step cut, first at .75 and then at -0.0050. The issue is that Microvellum has never figured out how to ramp from the first to second cut. No we have to raise the tool and start over for the second cut, this is a huge time waste. So I edit the code, it's actually pretty easy, to ramp from the first to second cut. I have been doing this for years all theOption to recall a work order list
I know we can pull up a work order that has already been created but i would like to see an option that would back that up one step. I would like to be able to pull up the work order at the step where you are creating the work order and just selecting your products. SO many times i process a work order and something is wrong and i have to go back and make a correction somewhere and then run it again. But since a change has been made i have to go through the entire process of selecting every singleAdd a column in Overdrive Pro that shows the room each product is in.
When you are open in the whole project it shows every product. The rooms are sub cagetories to the project. When looking to find which room a cabinet is in, you have to click and search each room. It would save considerable time if the root listing for the project had a column for the room the cabinet is in. Then it would be simple to look up the cabinet number and see which room it is in.Not selecting correct tool
Has anybody else had an issue with the routing tool not being correct in the machine files. I have MDF cutters set up for MDF, and the correct tool names in the MDF material file, yet when it is processed and sent to the CNC its reverting back to the default Particle board cutter.Stimulsoft Report Code
In the old version of stimulsoft reports supplied you could click on the code tab and edit code of the report manually. In the new version, I cannot find where to do this anywhere. Any direction would be appreciated. ThanksWork Order Selection - Search function no longer searches
Has anyone else noticed since installing Build #20.1.417.642 to TOOLBOX for AutoCAD 2020 or 2019, you can no longer use the the search bar to find a Work Order (WO) or WO group in Edit Existing Work Order > Work Order Selection > Search? This is happening on both the workstation and travel laptop. Prior, I was able to enter my Job # or criteria and would have only those with in the search come up. Now it does nothing, just have to scroll through & find them manually. Pressing ENTER does nothing after
