Updating Flatshots
How is anyone supposed to update the Flatshot view, for an elevation example when in order to see which one to update you have to enter a birds eye view, now when you click the okay button it updates the Flatshot to the birds eye view, when i originallyFeature Request: Auto Purge Unused Dim Blocks When Redrawing Product
Once in a while, my drawing starts to crawl and stutter. I usually purge unused stuff fairly regularly, but it would be super nice if MV could tidy up after itself.Trueshape Nesting
I haven't been keeping up with the forums, but I didn't see a recent post about the trueshape nesting. Is this still being worked on? Here is some feedback. I have an issue with the following type of optimization. Maybe I need to play with more settingsVirtual Routing - Adding Standard Machining Tokens
I have a product I'm trying to create where I need circles routed out across the product, but across multiple parts, but the product length will always vary and the panel qty always changes and the hole locations change. It would make it a lot easierDimension Leader
Hi, We use annotative Dimensions for drawings and the text in all dimension styles is set to "Move Text, add Leader". We find when we change the Drawing scale, this setting reverts back to "keep dim line with text". We used blocks to add finish labels[Feature Request] Function to detect machining on a part (for auto-assigning processing stations)
It would be nice to be able to set formulas that detect if a part has machining to determine a part's processing station. Currently, being unable to detect associative or virtual machining, especially from subassemblies — let alone anything manually addedDrawer Handle Distance From Top
I see in the microwave drawer base cabinet this option is available in the product prompts however on a standard drawer bank cabinet I find myself having to go into the subassemblies. We have most of these dimensions pull from our Wizard, however shouldn'tNew Microvellum Release Available Today: Build 25.2.0406.641

Hello, can I assign priority to the tools on the nest, to cut dados, rabbets, drilling first and then cut the part? Thank you.Adjusting Toekick
Hello- Im in the process of trying to adjust the workflow. Our current ADA sink base comes in with this toekick on it. How do I change that to a plastic quick-toe? Right now everything is a line drawing that has to be changed after the fact.Feature Request Add minimum width and length to nesting scrap
As per the title there really should be a minimum width and length for scrap options in the settings. Having scrap pieces that are 2440mm long by 50mm are no good to me. But i dont mind some rectangles, pieces for our machine need to be minimum 950mmWhat's the best way to generate views of a CAD only object.
Our team drew up this special end panel for a customized vanity. I want to, essentially create a Dynamic Product View of it, but I know that will only work on modeled parametric parts and products. I know the next recommended method is Flatshots, butFridge Cabinet still broken since 2024
2 years on and the out of the box fridge cabinet is still broken. I made my own as i was sick of fixing it but now that is also broken so thought it try the MV one again. this was the support ticket at the time and should have been passed up the chain.Shadow Line Rail Makes Top Disappear
@Lenny Scianna @Latisha Dauby I have found that if the Shadow_Line_Solid_Rail_Material pointer isn't set you will get a #value error because it is looking at the thickness of that pointer. This also means that if you change the materialSheet Number
Good morning Is there a way to automatically get page numbers to flow through my drawings? I have tried creating a block, but I'm not sure what to add to it. Thanks Nat Update: My bosses now want to know if there is a way to get it in the format of "XRebated Tab Pull
I thought when you use the rebated pull, the door would be machined for it. My cross section does not show it?FEATURE REQUEST: hardware List
https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/community/topic/hardware-list-preview Much like you can use Parts List Review (MVREVIEWPARTSLIST) to see parts and materials assigned to products, I would like to view a list of hardware assigned to productsFeature Request: Product List / Overdrive: Jump to Current Room
I wish the Product List would automatically start with or jump to the 'current room' selected in the project tree. I think, for large jobs at least, this would at least help Product List / Overdrive load faster as it wouldn't need to load the entire listBad G-Code results
We have been getting some bad g-code results lately. In the attached, the first panel is the current (original) nesting setmill modifications and what I think it needs to change to. The center panel is the results without any custom modification. LineDrawer Parts Calculator
Hello All- Im not sure if this is possible. We currently have a job where several drawers will need to be hand cut. Is there way to generate a parts list without creating the product? A spreadsheet would be great. I would really like to be able to enterControl type 7 not filtering out things based on Control Type Data
We have our materials in folders. I want it to show all the finished materials (VN-1 G1S L 3-4 and the like) and when I try to filter out a child folder it doesn't filter it out. This is what I have in the control type data: Finished, -MEDEX. It stillMachining disappears
We have our backs to be -1/16 in both height and width, and placed +1/32 in the x and z, creating a 1/32 reveal all the way around. Dado & Screw is our deffault construction method. When its a full H and W back, the machining shows. Once i resize theMultiple of edge type options
On the very right of my screenshot, why do we now have 2 types of edge profiles options for yes or no, am i missing functionality that isn't obvious or was it changed and never deleted recently? This was a fairly recent change ive noticed but my systemNailer Height Option
We use a different nailer height for the upper cabinets. The nailer at the bottom is 4" but our nailer at the top is 6". In the globals i only have a option for one size.Perfect Grain and Cut Rite Issues
We just enabled Perfect Grain for all of our projects and now Cut Rite is not processing anything containing Perfect Grain parts. The errors we are receiving are in the image below...the doors that are throwing the part do not fit length were 20" x 30".MITER tokens not showing correcting in Sections
I have a product that shows a mitered drop down edge for a solid surface or other such counter top material. in the below section i have changed the colors to show, the Red lines are the section cutting through the Deck of the top, and the drop down edge.New Product Prompts
Is there a reason why we can't have the same 4 buttons for the Product Prompts that we have for Edit Design Data? I shouldn't have to check or uncheck when i want to redraw the product.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 beingHow to Contact Bricscad with Software issue
How do you contact Bricscad when you have a software issue when you"re fairly certain is not an MV issue? I think stand alone Bricscad has a built in support button but I don't see it in MV(which doesn;t really make sense). In my case it looks like theFront Adjuster
i selected the front adjusters to only be applied to the drawers but when i use the "Base 2 Door ADA sink" and add a top facia. It adds the front adjusters. Even when i use the ada sink with the false front, I still have the front adjusters show.Better tools for product images on reports
The only current option I’m aware of for adding product images to reports is by processing Flatshot images on work order creation. There is no way to control the text/dim styles/line weights, etc.. within the report, leaving the product images lookingVERY FRUSTRATING
these wardrobes were completed ready for processing, the inner drawers had scalloped handle pulls, hinges were moved to not clash with shelf, all materials set correctly, Except the internal fillers were the wrong material (noticed when creating workSolid 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 expectFeature Request - Ability to edit the part quantity that is processed in a workorder batch
It would be helpful at times to be able to edit the part quantity within the workorder itself when processing a batch of parts. This would be applicable when you have multiple products under the same product number where the parts are grouped togetherDivision Doweling in CCL vs FL
Not sure if anyone has had this issue ... or know they even have the issue. Drilling for DIVISION dowels in CCL was from the LEFT side (~3/8") for drillings and now in FL its from the RIGHT side. Thus drilling and doweling INCORRECTLY at the machine/shopAccess Panel machined at OUTSIDE of case
Wondering if it would be possible to get an option added to the Access Panel subassembly to flip the access panel to the outside of the case instead of from the inside?New Microvellum Foundation Library Release Available Today: Build 26.0327
