I've run into a little quandary. Based off of some AWI standards and various iterations of our shop's normal methods, I've had to modify the dowel hole spacing. Small parts (i.e. nailers and spreaders) need to get the first dowel at 30mm and the nextFEATURE REQUEST: Allow Alt+Enter Inside "Edit Formula" box to organize formulas

Just double checking - there isn't a way to add a user-defined workbook (in addition to F,G,W,D,M,E,H,S,&N) and be able to reference it within other workbooks, correct? I tried to add one via Workbook Designer, but it didn't seem to let me rename it fromAdjustable Shelf Locations Lined Up With Bore Holes
I let my OCD run wild and took some time after hours to correctly locate the shelf supports and shelves. There were a few ways I could have done this and, if there's interest, I could go through the reasons why I wound up doing it this way. We use Continuous_Shelf_HolesCan Nest Opt.

We use a Homag/Weeke and ABD Horizontal Boring Machine. Can the Weeke nest show what the ABD will be doing to each part? Heres the Base Bottom on Nest: Here it is in Draw 2d (We're looking for the Dowels on the above image) I didn't see an option in theHow to modify this formula?

We have several warning messages inside our products and subs. The ones in the subs don't show up until processing (which is not ideal but we can work with it).
