Error in Origin and Rotation Tab
When using Part Properties in this particular file it throws an error when trying to use the Origin and Rotation Tab. It occurs with any of the cabinets I have made and modified. I am not sure how to correct this error and I do not intend to start over.2D wire pulls not showing up
The wire pulls native to the library ( Foundation 22_0317) aren't drawing on 2D drawings. The "rods" and knobs draw just fine. I've looked at the tokens, DRAWBLOCK is there, all parameters look correct, and I've been through the dwg's in factory data.Offset Polyline Errors
I'm getting incorrect results from the Offsetpolyline function. It works fine without arcs but with arcs I'm getting a variety of errors. See images, the magenta line is what it should be doing. I've confirmed the issue by reducing the offset amount graduallySlide Boring
I'm building a custom dresser and I have a drawer stack next to a cubby unit. The slide boring isn't showing up in my cubby side. I know there is a list somewhere in MV that has a list of names of parts that the slide boring is associated with. Does anyoneLink Distance Between Parts to Material or Tool
I'm sure it must have been asked before but it is it possible to associate the Distance Between Parts with the Material in the same way as Sheet Sizes and Trims are set? Or link it to the Tool Number? As the diameter and offsets dictate this amount.Include all scales in my annotative dimensions
Here is my problem. We use annotative dimensioning. When I do the dims in model space it only includes the one scale that is current. As a result it does not show up if the viewport is at a different scale. I know how to fix it and add the extra scalesAdjusting Dowel Patterns for Ease of Construction

James, I have followed your instructions in part 2 and I don't have the same results as you show in the beginning of part 3. I have attached my screen shots and the Drafting Tab does not display the same. I am doing this at the Project Level (for now).Drafting - Spec Pages
I'm wondering what other companies are doing to create their spec pages. Specifically pages that detail finish colors, hardware selections, edgebanding selections, and construction specs. Currently we create our spec pages manually in autocad, but I'dOpen Discussion: Shop Drawing Best Practices
I'm curious to know what processes you're using when it comes to creating shop drawings. Are you strictly using Microvellum to draw plans, elevations, and sections?

We work with many client's configurations, and often need to switch between SQL CE configurations that are both metric and imperial. Currently, the only way that I am aware of to change the Units (after initial install of MV) is through the registry.Edit Part to radius results

Is there a way to assign different parts to different layers when making a 2d section? I would assume it would be a similar approach to the the 2d product tokens but I don't see anything for the sections specifically.Layer Names
I am trying to set up some plan view annotation through drawing token prompts. I can successfully do this however the layer name that I put in the prompts always has "2D_" appended to the front of it when it is created in the actual drawing.

Are machining tokens dynamic or static in nature? For example, I am designing a product with a curved end panel. Works great until I change the depth of the unit, then I lose most of my curve. See attached images. The before is correct at 24" Deep.Results: Bookshelf Reading List for Q3:2022

I was doing some copy and pasting in the spreadsheet yesterday and accidently fat fingered the keyboard while trying to press CTRL-V. It turns out CRTL-B will bold the text or formula in that cell. Could be very handy for machining token names. MaybeJune's Virtual Events

It is possible to limit the depth of view on a section so it only shows lines beyond x inches? Thank you in advance.Cabinet Size Restrictions
