Good Quality Router Bit
Hi team, I wanted to see opinions on good quality CNC router bits. I have to machine about 600 sheets of 3/4 veneer plywood and wanted to see about getting a good quality bit that can run thru it fast and leave a nice clean edge. I currently use a 3/8Updating/modifying Subassembly information to global library through saving by overwriting existing subassemblies
Hi everyone, We have encountered an issue when we attempt to save a new or overwrite existing subassemblies in our global library. So, we attempt to Save by Overwrite an existing subassembly globally with additional information inside the subassembly.Walls
Is there a way to join walls together if you have to add a wall to a project later on? I've attached an example photo below.Machining not visible
Hi I got a problem here. One of my tech doesnt see machining in the CAD anymore. EX: Sides corner notch dont appear. When i look at the machining in workbook, its there. I go in the "Draw Part in 2D", Its also there. But its not showing in the drawing.Processing from Solid Model Analyzer
Hi all, Just a quick question. Does anyone else have insane processing times when trying to process part they built using Solid Model Analyzer from AutoCad 3D objects? MV seams to just hiccup and stop responding for a while when I try to send a part likeTooling and Materials
Hi everyone, In our efforts to improve the quality of our part machining, we are curious what tools you use for various materials. We seem to be going through router bits faster than we would like and feel like it may have something to do with the typeProduct Management Bulletin: August 2021

We recently ran a job using institutional RPC 5-knuckle hinges. In toolbox the door sizes and location look fine. We have the proper outside and vertical gap reveal. During the install though we found that while physically hanging the doors the 1/8” center gap (pair of doors) was basically gone and the doors were rubbing. This happened as well on single doors but the finished edge reveals basically turned to “0”. The only good explanation is variance in the manufacturing of the RPC 5-knuckleLibrary Overhaul/Update
I've taken a look at the new foundation library and compared it to our existing library and decided to poach a few bits and pieces into my own master unit as they seem to have improved on a few things since the creation of our original library. This wasPart labels - Project name is empty
Hey guys, recently upgraded microvellum to 2021, noticed on our parts labels the project area is blank. If anyone has a quick fix that would be great.Rounding Quantities Up in Report Designer
How can I have all my quantities for edge banding rounded up? What would that equation look like?Text prompts don't save when cleared.
If you have text in a text prompt and need to remove it you can't just delete all the text, you need to have something in there or it will not save. This has been an issue for as long as I remember but I've worked around it by just using a single spaceLabel Size and Printer Model
What label size are you all using for nested based parts and what thermal printer worked for you out of the box with OEM 2020. I am considering switching to a 4" x 1" label. Thanks in advance.Setting to allow every product number to be unique
It would be great if there could be a setting that would force each product in a project or even a room to be unique. This would save confusion in the event that Toolbox creates two numbers the same which it always does on heavily reworked projects. There are ways to do this manually however this requires time and to remember to do it. A setting that would activate a check would be great.Lineweight for PDF's
Hey guys, I've recently updated from toolbox 2020 to 2021 and had to go through and adjust all my old settings again. I've become stuck trying to get my lines for printable PDF's after publishing to be thin as previously. I've tried a few things but nothingFEATURE REQUEST - Library Designer update to show qtys where used
We would like it if Library Designer could show a total quantity next to the "Parts/Products/Subassemblies Using This Item" text. The zeroes could be left off, but for some of our most commonly used prompts, in particular, we could use this qty for doubleChange Default Name of Report
Is there a way to change the default name of a report dynamically when saving it as a PDF or other file format. I know that it can be programmed in the code of the report somehow but to date can't get it to work by changing the Me.ReportName = "Custom Name" Variable. I know there is just a trick I am missing. Would make adhering to our naming conventions a lot easier and quicker.How to fill up automatically the drawing information
