Corner Cabinets Master/Product Starter (FaceFrame / Frameless) - Multiple Vertical Bays
Being in a company that does both residential and commercial we run into a number of things that we would like to see added to the baseline library of both the FaceFrame and Frameless cabinet libraries. One of the things that has come up recently in ourYour Microvellum Case Portal is Getting an Upgrade
We have some exciting news to share with you today... Microvellum’s Case Portal is getting a major upgrade, set to launch in Q2 of this year! While the Portal has long served as the place to manage support cases, this upcoming release expands its functionalityDrawer Base Edging on Fronts
Would it be possible to get a variable setup to tell toolbox to edge the front edge all of the bases of metal sided drawers like grass/blum etc. I assume adding a global variable and changing the front edging of the drawer bases to be controlled by thisBase Drawer Sink w/False Front in 25_0319
Has anyone been successful in working the prompts to accomplish properly adding the tilt out. Can't figure out what to uncheck/check. Three attempts and no luck. It works easier when using a 2DR/1Drw Base.Stretcher Hole Spacing
Where is the Hole spacing controlled?I'm looking for a global variable that rotates hinge plates
For whatever reason I can no longer find it. Anyone know where it was located? Thanks, -JamesToolbox AC 25build opening second drawing
I just updated to the 25 build from using a 24 build version. Once I get past the MV splash screen, a second drawing is being opened. Has anybody else using Toolbox AC and also recently updated to 25 build noticed this as well? It's not really that bigSections through an Island?
When doing an island with die walls is there a way to associate products to something to create sections or do you typically have to just manually create section planes and the likes to get the desired effect? I saw another post suggesting using extremelyImport Specification Group From Another Project - Doesn't bring Project Level Materials
The Import Specification Group From Another Project, doesn't bring Project Level Materials and it should be an option. What if the Spec Group your importing has Project Level Materials assigned within it and you try to Import it into another project?Adding Faces/Fronts to Inner Drawers
Is there an easy way to add faces/fronts to "inner drawers"? There is an 'internal drawers with faces' subassembly, but that construction method does match the 'inner drawers'. I have been away from using MV after a 5 year hiatus between companies andG code error cutting face 6
Hi, I get this error code on my cnc when i go to run a face 6 program before running face 5 program. Loading G code alarm! 1. No tool number is set when performing tool length compensation 2. No tool number is set when performing tool length compensationSet 2D Instructions Section Dims permanently to scale at 1" = 1' - 0"
I am wondering if anyone has been successful at having their Section Dims only show up in one Annotative scale while drawing in model space at 3/4"? Can it be done in 2D Instructions? Always need to manipulate the scale list to achieve the scale I wantFace Frame Door Issue
I just installed the Face Frame expansion and the first cabinet I tested seems to have an issue with the doors. I drew a 2 door 2 drawer face frame cabinet, but the doors are being drawn at full height, not taking the rails or drawers into account. HowNew Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 25.1.0403.641

Please refer to the complete ReleaseHow to draw product placed from product list?
How do I redraw or view a product placed in the product viewer? Better yet, is it drawn somewhere and I just need to know where to find it in the drawing? I do not have an option when I right click on the product to "draw product" like I have seen onMap Material to Processing Station
Has anyone ever seen the benefit of 'mapping' materials to a specific CNC machine? That would let you set up each material so that each part would be populated to the processing center with a combination of stations already assigned. Instead of a manualD.B.E.
If I rename a product, will it remain unchanged during an update.Introducing the Next-Gen Optimizer: Now in Beta
We’re excited to introduce a new generation of optimization tools—now available in beta. This release marks a major step forward, featuring an all-new optimizer built from the ground up with a modern, flexible architecture and a powerful genetic algorithm.Redraw at a large scale
Hi community, how can I redraw select rooms or even an entire project at once to match a large scale change? Such as a change of pulls on an entire building?Drilling disappearing when adding a route
Can someone please see if they can work out why, when i add routing out holes into a panel, it turns off the drilling for my divisions when i go all the way through, but if i stop it 0.1mm short like rebating it, the drilling stays attached & doesn'tHelp with Door and Drawer Front Detail Report
Build 24.1.1030.641 Foundation 25.0319 Door and Drawer Front Detail Report Two questions: 1) How do we get this report to sum all the same size/name parts? 2) Why is the "Door Style" column blank, where does the data come from?Corner Notching
Can anyone tell me why when i add a corner notch into a part, it wants to pocket the part rather than cut out the corner out in one cut?Hardware Material Wizard should be it's own spec group toolbar icon
I don't think I've ever wanted to create stuff for the CutParts Wizard or Edgeband Wizard. Since those two are shipped as "blank" wizards (I assume place-holders for future dev.) can we just have the Hardware Material Wizard be it's own icon/button? TheExtra pages showing in report and report designer
I am having an issue with my reports printing blank pages after the main page when the info does not require another page. I would really like this solved as it is adding sheets that don't need to be there.How to add cellphone number with sub report

Build 24.1.1030.641 Foundation 25.0319 Master Cut Report I'm trying to "group" certain parts together in the report. For example, for parts names we don't need to see "Base", "Tall", "Upper" nor do we need to know if a part is a left or right, if it isAdding Hinge to MV
I made a model of an Accurate Offset Pivot Hinge that we use often in our company. How do I add this into Microvellum? I'm familiar with the workbook designer so if anyone could guide me though doing it there it would be appreciated! I've added the dwg.Reinstalling Toolbox Standard
Once in a while Toolbox must be uninstalled prior to upgrading to a newer version of AutoCad. (Because your existing version of Toolbox doesn't recognize or support the newer version of AutoCad.) There's a knowledge base article that discusses this operation,project export
Is there a way to export a project without all the irrelevant hardware? 1 project export - 6gbMore Options for Walls
It would be nice if we had the ability to add more windows and doors. Also, It would be cool if we were able to add backsplash on the walls and set the thickness, height, and width. It would also be nice if we could add outlets on walls to make sure itFEATURE REQUEST: User-Defined Functions
Please let me know if this ability already exists - I would love to be able to create my own user-defined functions that could then be used throughout MV's many workbooks. MV has GETBULGE, GETARCRADIUS, etc. that make formulas much simpler, and I'd likeLines not showing as blue when selected?
Hi, In my Toolbox my lines aren't showing as the standard blue so it makes it difficult to see what lines are selected. Selectioneffect = 1 & Hardware Acceleration in the graphics config is on and it is still not working so it seems like a Toolbox issue.Drawing Subassemblies Only
It seems that we often get involved in projects that involve re-facing only. New Doors, Drawer Fronts and sometimes even new Drawer Boxes. Is there a way to draw and get a cutlist for those Subassembly parts only without drawing a whole cabinet?Feature Request - Printable Comments
Something i've always wished we had was a way to convey information on a nesting patter that comes through onto the report drawing. I assume it would work in the following way, user draws something in 2d, makes it a specific colour on a specific layerWill deleting work order put scrap back into inventory
We run preliminary work orders to order our materials from. I'm assuming I need to check the "Suspend scrap auto-consumption" so that it doesn't use scrap from the inventory. If I ran a work order and didn't check the box will it put the materials bExternal exe file trigger
Wondering if any knows if the post processor can trigger an external exe file at all? We use an external program called Cobus for single part parametric programs and when it runs the post, i can make it trigger an external exe file (sending in a few environmentalHingeplates
Does anyone know how I can change my default hingeplates on MV? It doesn't seem to appear in the globals or in the material hardware Spec Group.

Hi, I'm working on a project where we area only using nosing fillers on all of our cabinets, when I select the nosing fillers within the product it is not subtracting the nosing filler thickness from the gables so I'm having to manually do so.
