Idea
So as material prices increase, we are looking for ways to reduce waste. One of the examples is that we utilize laminate edgebanding instead of PVC for some jobs. So it would be nice to have a way in Microvellum to cut parts layed up on the regular thickness
Saving in Subassembly Workbook Not Working
We've been noticing since one of the latest updates in Bricscad that if we make changes in a subassembly in the edit design data workbook that it doesn't always save. It seems like it's mainly if we are only copying and pasting cells. If we go in and
How many people are using the old component cabinet library still?
Show of hands, I'm curious. I've had to go back to CCL after using FL. Man, FL is so much better. Night and day difference
Anyone else getting the "Awaiting Moderation" tag on posts for over a week?
Dowel Size
We use 8x30 dowels. MV programs them for 8x42 dowels. I have looked and looked, yet can't seem to find where the dowel size pulls from. Every search of the Knowledgebase just leads me to Dowel spacing articles. The AI support feature does the same. Any
SMA: One Vertical for many conditions
Curious to know how a engineer handles the different hardware machining needed for a Die Wall. Examples would be in-wall supports, removable panel and corner blocking? Hope this example explains my discussion. I show the three different verticals needed

Drawer Front Adjusters in CCL
Does anybody have a formula for these 2 drawer front subassembly dimensions? We want the holes to be 1 3/8 from the bottom and side of the drawer box, not the drawer front. I feel this would be a complicated formula to figure out and I'm not even sure

FEATURE REQUEST: colored parentheses in formulas, similar to Excel
When inside a formula, Excel uses different colors on the parentheses to indicate which pieces of the formula belong together. This is very helpful when you have an invalid formula and need to figure out if you have missing parentheses. Excel Example:
MV Toolbox pallet too wide
I'm not sure how I did it, but I stretched my toolbox pallet wider than my window, which covers the whole screen (drawing area). Is there a way to reset the width of the pallet in the registry or somewhere else? I'm able to undock it to carry on, but
Tips/Tricks on Side by Side Drawers?
Anyone got some time saving tips/tricks on assembly of everyone's favorite cabinet? (well at least around here...) It's quick enough when running parts off the CNC -- everything gets indexed with the dowel holes or pilot hole machining -- but when laying
Lunch and Learn: INNERGY Engineering
Hey everybody, we had a lot of curiosity at IWF about the Engineering product and how it compares to MV. To be clear: today you can import and use a MV library in it, but just barely. Many things don't quite work yet or you can't access. So if you're
Feature Request: Database Management Import/Export Materials - Need Tabs for Categories

Square off or Trim nest instead of using offcuts
We would like to have a way to square off a nest without trimming fully around an offcut. I'd like to not machine 4 sides of offcuts but rather trim the full length (or width) of the sheet. this helps avoid offcuts potentially being too short for future
Solid Model Tools/Analyzer Need Serious Work
I jumped onboard the Solid Model Tools train when they were first introduced in 2014. They were a game changer for us. Over the years these tools have evolved; and in many ways, they evolved for the better but have never been perfect - and I don't expect
Drawer Height not pulling through correctly
The drawer heights are listening to the prompt height and this is using the height of the inside of the cabinet, and not 1 of my 3 set sizes in the lookup table for drawer rip heights.
Change the Distance Between Parts functionality in the Processing station
Would it be possible to have the Distance Between Parts prompt in each the nesting processing stations changed to a distance to add to the nesting tool diameter instead of a fixed spacing? We occasionally select a tool with a larger diameter than our
Foundations Library Mid Stile & Rail Different Widths
In the component library there was an option in the product starter cabinets to make the intermediate stiles and rails have varying widths rather than having them all the same width. So different mid stiles could be different sizes, and the same with
Products that didn't make it to F/L
Our company has made good use of many products from the older versions of microvellum component library. We have noticed that a handful of our regularly used products didn't make the cut for the foundation library. One of the biggest products for us was
Block Attributes locations moving
Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with defined attributes within blocks remaining where they're supposed to be when they publish sheet sets (see attached snips). I've tried ATTSYNC and BATTMAN commands that will fix the issue
Insufficient Disk Space in Filegroup
Has anyone come across this warning? "Could not allocate a new page for database "FoundationWorkOrders". Tried to process a larger work-order (over 100 products) but MV keeps crashing if I do a large WO. I can however create work-orders if I keep them
Formulated Materials not Updating
I've been working on setting up some new Materials for our shop and have run into a problem. When I update the callout for a FDM in the wizard, let's say to be WD-02, I cannot select the updated material from the material selection screen. If I open the
Arcs & Small parts
For some reason, when I have a part with an arc, the label is not placed correctly. Is there a way to have the label automatically placed on the arc? Also, another idea would be to keep small parts a minimum of 2" away from the sheet border. The border

ProductDescription in product prompts and Description in Product List are 2 different things?
Why are these different? If I change it in an empty product, why can't I have at least a column to change that in the product list?

Improve Bricscad Sheet Set Manager to Drag and Drop Layout Tabs
Autocad allows the user to simply drag a layout(or multiple layouts) into and drop into the open sheet set without a clunky interface. Bricscad does not. I end up choosing to close Bricscad and using autocad when preparing sheet sets because autocad is
