Materials for Reception Desks, etc
So I do not use any solid modeling tools, I use the stock extruded products for my die walls etc. A large portion of the time the construction methods are the same but the materials change. While the materials are pretty easy to designate for the dieHow to build this product
Is the Foundation Library set up to build this from their "MASTER"?, I don't see a "Empty Starter" Or do I build it as a solid and let MV analyze it. The goal is to save it as a parametric product.Efficiency of material use
Our CNC operator informed me the MV drawings will use two sheets to cut out when only one sheet would be necessary if he could manually rotate and move parts to be cut so they are arranged to fill one sheet instead of burning two sheets. This action isBeyond X,Y & Z axis
Does anyone have any experience in using Microvellum to generate programs for machining centers that have capabilties beyond XY & Z? Considering such an addition but need to know if Microvellum is adept in that area.Isolate/Show/Hide Command not working
Hi All, We recently ( finally...) upgraded to 2022 AC/MV from 2018...and are starting the process of setting up and using the new update... When drafting/drawing I use the Isolate/Show/Hide command LOTS to check certain products/parts etc...ie addingNew Release Available Today: 22.1.0825.641

I need to drill some holes for my magic wire shelves. I've experimented with a few different tokens such as the Associative Construction Holes, Associative Drawer Slide Holes, and Adj. Shelf Holes. Each one of these has solved one problem, but createdFLATSHOT on complex products
Does anyone successfully use the FLATSHOT tokens on complex products like die walls? The whole idea seems really cool, to be able to use these live images on reports and tags, but when I try it out every now and then, it never seems to get me what I wantMicrovellum Submittal Services
