Parts Sorting
What is everyone using or how are you sorting your parts after being cut in a batch? What software solution or procedure?Shelf Line Bore Holes
Hello Everyone, I am having a problem with my line bore holes, They aren't there. The last project I just did worked fine, Started a new project, same spec group, same everything and no shelf pin holes. I have copied the spec group from the last job withDefault Layers
Hi, We are struggling to find the setup to have our layers saved as a defualt. Every time we open a new room and project we have to set the new layers upHow do you manage drawing revisions?
Curious about how do others deal with drawing/Project revisions? The way we do it I think is the worst and I need to change it so I am looking to see what is out there. We do mostly commercial, multi room/floor projects so there are multiple design andAutocad Usage When Microvellum Server is down
Would like to know if there is a way to use the AutoCad Feature when ,for instance, Your servers are down and you want to work on a cad file? It seams as though Autocad will ONLY work if the server is connected and running. I think there should be aFEATURE REQUEST: Nested Composite Multi-Sheet Layout Options
It would be helpful if you could change how multiple sheets laid-out in a composite. Instead of all in a single line, it would be helpful to be able to have them in rows & columns. We organize 5-9 sheets to fit on an Arch-D 24"x36" print for the shop.Can we get a MVAPPLYFORMULA command?
I like to reduce mouse cursor time and would find it really helpful if I could hot key Apply Formula.Face6 Machining
I have a tall cabinet with a division released to the shop. There are programs created for the face 6 machining for the shelf standards on face 6. I feel like there used to be a report that showed how to position the part and which program corresponded to which part. I cannot seem to find it. This is not "face6 first". just a single part...FEATURE REQUEST: SMT Corner Negotiation Type None to be Continuous
I don't know about others out there, but when using the Solid Modeling Tools it would be nice if the "None" option in the Extrusion Corner Negotiation Type would create a solid extrusion throughout the path - no breaks. "None" gets a little confusingFeature Request FOUNDATION LIBRARY: 2D Drawing Section showing drawer slides
I attended both "Virtual Events" on 7/27 and understand that the August update will contain "Dovetail" drawer boxes. Is there any consideration to include the ability to have "drawer slides" visible in 2D Sections?Model Space selection/Plan view
Hi all Would anyone be able to help us please. If we make a selection view, some works perfectly whilst other parts do not. Especially on the plan part. In particular if we added a counter-top on the model space selection the drawing will return toAdding New Templates in Foundation

Hi, This happens every now and then. I'm not sure why but when using 3D Orbit it toggles an impossible to go away box. Its pretty rare but really annoying. Is there anyway to stop this from happening, or why it randomly decides to happen? Thanks,FOUNDATION LIB.: Where did the toggle for door/drawer face 'hinge lines' get moved to?
Good morning all, In the component libraries there was a global for toggling the 2D swing direction lines of doors and also the diagonal line across a drawer face. Has this been moved, renamed, or removed?Associative Hole drilling on designated edge but also on opposite edge & face 6 (only when touching 2 subassemblies).
I'm having an issue where associative holes, used between subassemblies, are drilling Hole 1 Edge/ face 5 but also activating on Hole 2 Edge/ Face 6 if a part is touching that edge. It works correctly when the subassembly is touching a part on one edgeSMA & IRIB Improvements - Status Update
As you may know, our development team has been working to resolve issues with our Solid Model Analyzer (SMA) tools and Include Routes in Border (IRIB) algorithm. Resolving these issues remains a high priority for our team. Today, we are happy to reportProduct List/Overdrive Pro
Why does the Product List/Overdrive Pro window close every time I redraw a product? It would be very helpful if it would stay open until I manually close it, or until something significant happens like changing projects. Anyone else agree?Sending jobs to multiple CNC

I'm wondering how difficult it is to setup a Dowel insertion machine with automatic part width detection. And get it to work with Microvellum? We are looking at a Koch SPRINT base.line Drilling & Dowel Insertion Machine.Better way to add multiple machine tokens?
I'm developing a few products that require a large number of machine tokens per part. I find the part properties interface more effective than the spreadsheet when checking for errors but am limited to the approximately 85 tokens using this interface.Where is this coming from?
I am editing / customizing the cross section for a base 1 drawer microwave cabinet and cannot for the life of me find out where the microwave outline is coming from in the section view. I looked in the subassembly file and did not see it. Can someoneTall cabinet doors not showing in plan view
I noticed that the tall cabinet doors are not showing for me in plan view. When looking at the spreadsheets, I see this formula in the finished faces subassembly prompts (foundation library 22.1.307.641). =IF(AND(Bay_Position>59,Bay_Position<67),"DRAWRECTANGLE",0)Dispatch Report

how hard would it be to number the rows in the parts list when working in 2d drawing? currently if a part is on row 73(example) you have to count down the rows to update the part. very time consuming and inefficient.July's virtual events

It would be great if Microvellum could get a better interface for managing projects. At the moment we need to export projects then confirm it has been exported then remove it/them from the list. As this is a two-stage process it is very easy to miss aMicrovellum Drafter

Is there a limit to the number of Machine tokens to a Part in the latest version? I'm developing a product and recall previously there was a limit. In the past I'd make a more complicated Polyline to account for limited tokens. Is there a preferred methodMulti Pass Tools
I have a question about setting up multi pass/step tools. If I'm using multiple tools, which feed and speed configurations are being used on the individual passes? The ones in the 900 tool, or the ones for the tool I'm adding to the multi tool?Microvellum Event Recodings
