I looked in formulaHas Anyone added the EDGEBAND token to an older library
We are attempting to utilize this token in our 49 library. In the documentation it says it requires a v50.5 library or greater, but I'm wondering what do those libraries have that the older ones don't, and could we retrofit it into the 49? EDGEBANDRenaming a Room
Has anyone else noticed that using the "Rename Room" command only changes the room name in the Room Tree? The actual AutoCAD drawing for that room does not get renamed.FEATURE REQUEST - Ability to edit formulated materials in spreadsheet
Having to update materials in the interface only is so much more time-consuming than if we had the ability to do so in the spreadsheet. One example: Today I had 16 formulated materials that all had the word "Plates" in them, used in several formulas.Anyone cutting Solid Surface on a Nested CNC?

Hi all, I have been setting up the foundation library with my own drawing template that I have used with 2020 library with no issues. For some reason, in the foundation library, all my cabinets are coming out with one colour. Anyone else has had a similarMV product
Has anyone had an issue with having too many products in their library? The reason why I'm asking is because my company has a few product lines they want in MV. That way Engineers can pick a product from a list and draw it in MV. Over time this list couldPaperless?
Has anyone gone paperless as in not printing out cutting reports and nest layouts but rather creating pdf's to be viewed at the machines or assembly workstations? If so what were the hurdles? Learning curve on the floor? ThanksCustom product drawing incorrectly
Hi everyone, I created a couple of custom products for our shop, but when I draw them in, the parts all draw above the z axis; in the attached photos the one product is drawing 11 3/4 above 0, and another one is drawing 10 1/2 above 0. I check the HeightFoundation Library Buyout Doors

We all draw islands, and it's always easiest to draw the elevations using the "draw wall" command, but the wall in the floorplan shows a solid wall. It needs to show a dashed line to properly display on the floorplan. We should have a new wall typeMV box labels

I saw it mentioned in reference to updating new libraries that it would be a good idea to possibly highlight the cells that you updated with new formulas etc. Taking it one step further I think it would be great if we had the ability to highlight cellsFEATURE REQUEST - Change/Improve the sorting of formulated materials
It appears that formulated materials 1st sorting criteria is the material name, rather than the alias, even though the alias comes first. It seems odd (and unlike any other programs I've used) to have a list that is sorted by the 2nd object in each line,Plotting blue
