Delete Imperial Scale default
I'm revisiting using the 2D drawing option in MV but I have a problem when using the 2d drawing tool where it adds multiple imperial scales to the drawing. It then defaults to the imperial scale instead of metric scale for each viewport. In the back ofMVPARTSLISTREVIEW

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 shopHaving multiple tools under one tool number for interchangeability
I wanted to know if it is possible to have a more than one tool programed under the same slot for single use operations. IE tool 10 I have a 3/16" comp bit, and 1/16" bit depending on the operation.Adj Shelf Pin Slots
It would be great to have a Tick box option in Product Prompts -> 'Internal Options"' to add parametric slots for shelf pins to fit into. With the ability to adjust for the different sizes of shelf pins. Thank youToolBox 2023 ShutDown without warning

I'd like to see Microvellum add more functionality to the drafting side of things in regards to the automation of the title block and the contact tables that are available. There seems to be an issue with pulling data from the contacts tables throughBorder Routing Pass thickness of material
Hi There, Wondering how to set it up so the nested boarders have the machining go a bit over thickness of the material. Right now, if the material is .75" thick, the boarder will be cut at just .75" deep. I'd like the bit to go a bit deeper e.g. .752".2-Step Routing on small parts

I cannot figure out how to include a total part quantity for all manufactured parts on the work order summary report. If possible, i'd like to total parts by material, and possibly by processing station as well. Does anyone know how to do this?Dado Tool Selection For SMA
Hi There, Curious does anyone know how MV determines tool selection when doing solid model analyzer? A default dado tool ( Tool #9) is set up at our global file as well as in the tool file. But when using SMA, MV picked another tool ( Tool #2) for theMV Sections
Out of curiosity, when I cut a section, is there any way that I could edit the microvellum cutting plane? Or, do I need to use acad erase and recut to section?One or multiple databases?
