MV_Undo or Restore Product from Drawing
Today I made a simple mistake. I thought I was deleting an added part but I erased my vanity I have been customizing and redlining for over a month now. If I had realized it right away, perhaps I could have quickly quit without saving, but alas, it autosaved
Delete work order after export - select to agree to all
Hi, Decided to do a bit of house keeping and zip and delete a load of old work orders. I've selected close to 100, ticked zip to export and ticked delete work orders after export. Big mistake! Now it is asking me if I would like to proceed to delete each
No more separate plan view products
I updated BrisCAD to Build #25.2.227.641. This is how we typically draw a room of cabinets. After drawing the 3D walls, we draw separate plan and elevation views from the 3D wall using 2D Drawings commands (see below screenshot). When we drop a cabinet
Foundation Reports - Why so slow?
Ok question ... Why are Foundation Library Reports SOOOO SLOOOOW For instance ... Work Order Summary - This dialog box below must flash like a dozen times! Obvious it's re-querying something all those times ... but why? (Happens with Nest Optimization

Automatically draw section if product is added to wall
I noticed that the elevations update if you place a product on a wall after you have already drawn the wall elevation. Not sure if this is a "feature"? However, the section did not update even though I have picked the section line running thru the wall/products.
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
FEATURE REQUEST: Adding Intellesense for Prompts/Material Names
When writing formulas/updating you have to either have that prompt memorized or go through the Name UI and find what you need. Sometimes you have to do this multiple times throughout and can be annoying. It would be amazing if there was a way to add an
More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
Hey everyone, I think we can all agree the current "one vote" system is a good start, but it doesn't always show the full picture. Right now, a minor "nice-to-have" that lots of people upvote looks exactly the same as a "major workflow killer" because
Cancel function when processing work order
Sorry if this has already been suggested. How many times have you gone to the work order creation window and hit process then realised you have missed something and need to cancel but cannot. If it's a large creation, this can take many, many minutes
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:
Feature Request: Implement a “Project Designer” Functionality Using Library Designer Codebase
Overview: The development of a new “Project Designer” tool is recommended, modeled after the existing Library Designer. This feature would allow users to make targeted modifications to products and subassemblies within a specific project, without impacting
FEATURE REQUEST: Draw 2D Plan from Selected Products.
Currently, there is a command that allows you to DRAW 2D WALL(S) PLAN VIEW. This is a handy tool for those who like to have the 3D model separate from the 2D drawings within a drawing. The problem comes when you have products that aren't attached to a
FEATURE REQUEST - Allow to escape when doing pick points.
A nice and simple addition would be the allow the user to press escape when doing pick points to cancel out of it. There is no way to stop pick points once it's started. If I have a formula in the prompt and accidentally double click it, I'm screwed.
Nesting Parts with Consistent Veneer "Flame" Direction
When nesting on veneered sheet goods cabinet parts, especially sides, the mirrored components will often not have a consistent orientation. This can result in one side being "flame" up and the opposite side being "flame" down. Having a way to designate

FEATURE REQUEST - Workbook Designer Column Descriptions
It would be great if there was somewhere inside of Workbook Designer where it would display the name and description of what each column in each workbook is. Even if this just had to be a help button of some sort that would trigger a pop-up with this
FEATURE REQUEST - Separator Bar in Prompts/Wizard
We would like it if there were an option to add separator bars (or something similar) in Product Prompts and Wizard interfaces. This would help us group by categories within a tab. Currently, we use colors, which work ok, but we would prefer colors to reference the "type" of variable (green for "drives cost", red for "hardware related", blue for "banding", or some scheme like that) and have the separators to define the groupings. Not a priority request, necessarily, but could be a nice feature.
FEATURE REQUEST: Add Machine Token UI to Edit Design Data
If you've ever worked in the spreadsheet (Edit Design Data) and needed to add a machine token, then you understand the frustration of not remembering what parameters 1-9 are for each token that exists. The spreadsheet is not user friendly when it comes
Feature Request: Repository for custom product sharing.
It would be amazing to get something like many of the 3D printing websites have where we can upload and share products, hardware, machine tokens, and all the other awesome things we all create. I know someone spent the time and did a bunch of the A&M

BricsCAD and disappearing section dimensions
Anyone else using BricsCAD that when you draw your cabinet sections, you don't get the dimensions. When I save, close, and reopen the drawing, they are magically there. I really can't be saving, closing, and reopening my drawing every time I make a change
BSB MULTIPLE FEATURE REQUEST - Bring Back Autocad command / functionality
MEASUREGEOM - I made my own MEASUREGEOM command using lisp since Bricscad is missing what i would have thought would have been a very standard basic command, but today it showed me the wrong angle and now I'm worried that it has been misfiring somewhere

Unacceptably long wait time for tech support
10 to 14 days (minimum) waiting for tech support to address issues with BSB or Microvellum in general. Are they too busy for a courtesy email or call to let me know wait times are long? I have serious production and software problems that aren't being

Show/Change Current Specification Group on Toolbox Menu
I'd like to know the current spec group, and/or be able to change it on the fly. Is it possible to add something like this to the Toolbox toolbar? I think it would be especially helpful when using SMA. Our formula materials depend on the spec group being
The Difficulty of No "Undo"
Please tell me there is SOME work-around to this. We learned in training that you should never "undo" in MV. OK, so surely there is some failsafe for human error, right? Today I went to erase what I thought was a part I added to a cabinet. I've been working
Report Default Variables
This may apply to other reports as well, but for example the "Cost Based Estimating Report". When the report is opened there is a variable panel on the left side with Markup, Overhead, Tax, etc values as well as other checkboxes to easily modify the report.

Isometric Shop Drawing
I am relatively new to this, I have been thrown in the mix and told to figure it out. I want to create an isometric shop drawing that is just a line drawing. Is there any way to generate one from the products that is not shaded? I really don't want to

Global prompt control for turning off Reveal dims in sections
In the 2D Instruction for drawings there are a Top/Bottom Reveal dim in the section drawings. It would be nice if these were tied to a global prompt to turn them on/off as a default. When adding tops and other information to base cabinets the reveals
