Filename too long
Hi everyone, We are implementing MV in the company and it looks like the filename is too long and doesn't appear correct on our reports. Is this coming from the Processing Station Setting, Report Setting or a MV setting?why in the WORLD are the ADA sink settings so screwed up?
Does anyone else see badly flawed logic in the way the ADA angled sink cabinet is set up? This formula right here for the top facia height does not yield ADA compliant settings: =IF(Height-i2u(27)>G!Default_Top_Drawer_Front_Height,G!Default_Top_Drawer_Front_Height,Height-i2u(27))+IF(Enclosed_bottom=1,Thickness_Bottom,0)Countertop Product Report
Im looking for some help in order to jumpstart my work cycle... Im hoping someone may have already created a custom countertop product report that they would be willing to share? Also is there a way on the product report to show an image of the actualFinished End vs Non Finished End Parts
Just curious to see if anyone has manipulated Toolbox so that two cabinets use the same size parts even when one has a finished end. Example: 18" base cabinet with Finished End 18" base cabinet w/ unfinished ends Both have stretchers, back panel, nailers,One Product That Comes Into Every Project
I have a 1 Door Base Cabinet that is in every project Product List that i cannot get rid of. This is creating mass confusion on the floor because this cabinet has now been made 3 times on three different projects.... How do i get rid of this cabinet?I'm OUT!
At the end of this month I am leaving the industry. Going into semi retirement in a field that doesn't involve Autocad or Microvellum. I'm ready, I'm tired. I will miss working with Microvellum I mean I've been dinking with it since 2007, learned a lot.Report Groups not publishing Part Labels

Hi, Can the Work Order Name Generator not reset each time a new product is added? We use a special naming structure, then sometimes merge products. If I make the name first then click the projects to merge, the name resets. Can the name only be generatedEngineer/Drafter

I created a "U" shaped die wall for a reception desk, but it's only letting me create 2d elevations of the employee side of the die wall. How can I get 2d elevation views of the customer side as well? I don't know if this information helps or not, butSolid Analyzer Wrong Part Size
Whenever I try to analyze this single part, Microvellum is telling me to choose 1.25" but the part is 1.7443" so it doesn't make the part. When I choose 1.7443 instead, I get a block.Overlay Cab Rails

What are people doing for varying thickness material, on only backboards? MV is setup to just groove, non thick back board's, with one pass, so in my case its using a 12mm cutter, to make a 10mm groove. 2mm is too much space and way too loose. I couldDrawer Height Calculator

I've got a product that's just 4 parts I created from the Misc Panel product. The Elevation Instructions are blank, but it keeps drawing this rectangle and overall width dimension. Is there a way to stop it from doing this? There are no sub-assemblies3D drawings are not accurate
There was a time, not so long ago when MV would make 3d drawings that would show the radius on inside corners produced by the round bit. This was 100 percent accurate. Not long ago, this was changed to draw the 3d drawings to show the inside corners as square. I don't like this because the drawing and the product do not look the same. Just my humble opinion. Anybody else feel this way?Tall Blum Hinge Plates for Face Frames
