Edgeband Symbol on Product Label Image
An "X" is used on the part image to denote an edge to receive banding regardless of edge type or color. Is it possible to use a different symbol per edge type?Getting grain matched doors/drawer faces with Saw Optimizer
Hi, Our shop is relatively new, we are also new to MV and are just starting to explore what Microvellum can do. That being said, our main workhorse in the shop is an SCM sliding saw. I use the Saw Optimizer on MV to generate the cut lists for the shopFeature Request: More advanced GCode naming options
It would benefit us and hopefully others to have the ability for GCode filenames to have more than 8 characters. I think in 2021 we can move beyond the 8 character filename limit that Windows imposed on us in the past. Currently the only options are "ItemShow spec group in report

I think it would be very useful for border routing depth to automatically adjust to match the composition thickness. When moving parts between compositions of different thickness in the nest composite I have not found a good way to make this correctionWork order part sorting
In a recent build, part sorting in the work order window has been broken (it worked in the past) In split flow processing, we send various parts to different processing stations within the same work order.

I am curious to see how other users change the depth of border routes in the nest when moving parts to a thicker material. If, for example, I have a small filler that is released to come out of a 3/4" PL1-PL1 layup but have room for the part on a 1" PL1-PL1Scrap sizes on labels

There are times when a part grain doesn't matter even though it's made out of a grained material. For example, toe kicks and stretchers could have the grain running in either direction if it meant better yield on the sheet. Would be helpful to have anPart description in gcode drawings
