autolabeling reprint
Hi; to remake parts outside of Microvellum, Just scan the barcode of face 5 for the unit program and remake the part, its work perfectly! but I find it difficult to reprint the label, because the name of the label is not saved on the DB. Can you addAXYZ CNC Nesting
Has anyone ever used a AXYZ flat table to process nests on out of Microvellum? If you have what are your opinions regarding the run times and such? What are your biggest problems, concerns, dislikes?Drawer export as a .csv file
Hello, We are developing an ERP for a client who is a drawer manufacturer. Most of our manufacturer's customers use Microvellum. Our client would like to offer its Microvellum users the ability to export drawer dimensions so that this export can beHow to delete a Batch within a Work Order
Is there a way to delete a Batch within a Work Order once it is created? We do write on top of existing Batches if they are incorrect, but sometimes it would be beneficial to be able to delete the batch.Tool File - Field Offsets
Does anyone use the field offsets in their tool files? We run a decent volume of parts on our matrix table and offset certain parts 10" in X and Y to prevent part movement. Our operators typically make these changes on the fly at the router CPU but verySort Nest By Material Name
When nested based processing, does anybody know of a way to force the sheets to be placed in a particular order? Example: I'm nesting 50 sequence & end-matched custom-layup panels. The individual panel definition is at the end of the material name (e.g.Exporting CSV from from a report
Does anyone have any experience exporting CSV files from their reports? I seem to be having mixed results. I was able to export a spreadsheet with all of the part data I needed. Now I'm trying to create a report that will export all the hardware withinadding routes to nest
is there a way to add a route in a nest and have it run after the border route. we use an 1/8" bit to go back and clean out inside corners but it needs to be done after the part border is already cut. we created a 2 pass bit to do this because the smallerPO Numbers
It would be great if Microvellum let us add a PO Number to the job we are working on in the Project Properties. That way we could pull in that data and print it out on our labels and put it on all of our products for easy tracking. Is this a feature weDrilling In Multiple Steps.
Is it possible for MV to output the code to drill a hole in multiple steps? I just finished a project where there were multiple 1" deep Ø5/64" holes. Since drilling in one pass would likely break the bit the CNC operator had to go through the time consumingFeature Request: Show Work Order number from within the Processing Center interface
We use "Products.WorkOrder.WorkOrderNumber" as an identifier on our reports. This gives us a unique, MV generated ID Number for each work order (work order name is often duplicated and easy to mistake one for another). We would like to be able to seeRotate Nested Parts
Recently our CNC operator point of that it would be nice if the the parts in the nest were rotated 180 deg so the backs of the cabinet where against our fence instead of the face of the cabinet. See image below for example. Is there away to tell microvellumGive choice to change the part quantity in processing station
I would like MV have a choice for cnc programmer to change part quantity in processing station. For batch job or for replacement part. I don't want to process all the quantity, i only want to do 1 or 2 or 3... see below image for change quantity.Shelf Line Bore Holes
Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with my line bore holes, They aren't there. The last project I just did worked fine, Started a new project, same spec group, same everything and no shelf pin holes. I have copied the spec group from the last job withProduct List/Overdrive Pro
Why does the Product List/Overdrive Pro window close every time I redraw a product? It would be very helpful if it would stay open until I manually close it, or until something significant happens like changing projects. Anyone else agree?Sending jobs to multiple CNC
Hi All Looking at a job that would evolve sending finished jobs to multiple different companies for CNC cutting. eg. One project is drawn and detailed in MV, processed then the cut files and sent to company A for cutting and assembly etc. Then projectFEATURE REQUEST-2D DRAWING
how hard would it be to number the rows in the parts list when working in 2d drawing? currently if a part is on row 73(example) you have to count down the rows to update the part. very time consuming and inefficient.true shape nesting
i'm curious as to how many here use true shape nesting and is it worth the cost. we do a lot of odd custom designs ans use SMA quite a bit, will true shape nest save me time?True Shape Nesting
I have noticed that all Toolbox Release after #21.1.0420.641, True Shape Nesting will put a border around most non-rectangular parts like it is not doing True Shape Nesting. I have tried moving the True Shape Control Slider to max, but it still puts aSheet order in nesting report
I'm running into an issue with my nesting report from a work order this morning. I have two different materials and two different processing stations, one material on each. So if Material 1- Station 1 = M1S1 and Material 2 - Station 2 = M2S2, the reportBringing parts from other Workorders to be cut with Other Workorder
Some parts moved while cutting and need to be re-cut. I have the space on another Workorder nest which was not been cut yet in the shop. Is there a way to bring in just the part that moved (or whole product) other than AutoCad copy and paste? With Autocad3D Polyline Path for Routing
Hello! I am looking to figure out how to make a 3D polyline path that would be able to make profile edges on tops or other parts. It appears that this would be possible to do with some combination of multiple polyline route tokens, but is there a wayAB Material Upside Designation for CNC Operator
Our operators would like to know what side is up for AB materials (Sheets with different finishes or backer). At this point in time we have been marking the paperwork by hand, but is there a way to enable them to know which side is up for face 5 and 6Changing Product Numbers in Product List
I have a project with approximately 45 rooms. I am processing the rooms to get material quantities and I have 2 different Specification Groups. When I change the spec groups, quantities and product numbers to process, I get an error message when I changeMachine Technology Priorities - Open Discussion
Investing in machine technology can be an overwhelming and nerve-racking process. No one wants to make the wrong investment and purchase a solution that doesn't meet the needs of the company. But where does a company start when beginning research intoMachining Practices: Pain Points and Solutions - Open Discussion
In our ever-growing world of automation and machine technology, coupled with economic and supply chain uncertainties, working efficiently and accurately while minimizing waste and rework is more important than ever. First off, what are some of the painHigher true shape slider results in duplicate identical nests
I have discovered that increasing the true shape slider to the middle (or higher) results in nests with a quantity of one. This is quite wasteful when there are identical nests. For instance, a recent project only had one nest to be run twelve timesSelective Machining with the Part Name Filter Question
I am working on setting up a doweled drawer box and have a question regarding the machining for locks. With our existing drawer sub-assemblies we cut a 3 sided notch all the way through the sub-front of the drawer for the lock body, this cutout was drivenTooling Not Recognized - Nesting

What's the difference between the router/vertical drill clearances in the globals and the values in the toolfile? I guess my main question is, what happens during processing with the post? Do they get summed? Is the larger value used?Weeke Barcode Mirrored Field Placement
Does anyone use barcodes to place mirrored parts on a Weeke BHX 055? Stiles machinery tells me MV needs to add a 1 for normal field and 2 for a mirrored field to the end of the barcode.Microvellum Saw Optimizer Reaching Maximum Iterations
We use Microvellum Saw Optimizer, and I ran into this message while processing my parts in the processing center. "Microvellum Nest Optimizer Reached Maximum Iterations Without Results" I ran into this issue in the processing center with a job of aroundRe-sharpen CNC tools
Hi There, Just want to know what you guys take on having someone else sharpen your old CNC router bits and reuse them. Does it worth it? We are a shop with four CNC machines and we order lots of bits. Management seems doesn't really care but those newIdea: Auto load Rooms/Cabinets when selecting a Recent Workorder Name when creating a work order.
It would be great if when we were in the “Work Order Creation” window and we use the Select Recent Name Option; if it would automatically reload all the Rooms/Cabinets included in that work order. For us this doesn’t happen often but when we do catchMatch Color Scheme
The title bars colors for the project level and library level, spec groups are opposite their respective spec groups icon colors. Can the icons be updated to match the title bar, banner color of the spec groups they represent?Tooling assigned by Material Type
We have a nested CNC machine. Can the software determine what tool to use based on material type when generating a nested work order? We would like our step tool to be pulled for cutouts on MDF and then for all veneer core plywoods in the same work order it would pull our standard 3/8" compression default routing tool.Tool Change for small parts
Just read a topic about using a 900 tool for small parts. I've been doing that for a while and it works well, But I have to change the tool in the nest, does Microvellum not have a method to utilize the parameters that we set for a small part to callUsing a Multitool for Double Passing Small Parts
We still have issues small parts moving on our CNC. I have my nest setting to double pass small parts. The issue is that it uses the same tool for both passes. Is there a way for me to use a different tool on the final pass? For example, we us a 1/2"Copying a Room in Product List
