How to Route Products through the shop???
I want to create some sort of unique identifier on the PRODUCT level to ultimately help sort items in reports. One thought is that I could add a number or letter at the beginning of the product names. I currently have 6 different routes that a productAllow Machining Tokens that are made for specific hardware to Allocate that hardware.
This would allow us to have one token that knows how many times it is used and how many pieces of hardware it needs. And if it gets turned off, or changes the qty of holes drilled the quantity of the hardware allocated would change too. This would saveFoundation library
Hi I was wondering if there is any update on when the foundation library may be released I have been waiting for this to come out as since I heard about it late last year. I have many changes I want to make for how our factory does production and I'mFinista Swift Draws

Example being if I want to route a groove in a curved part (as shown below), it will appear in the nest but not in the drawing. Just making sure this is still not a possibility, as it would help us out with our millwork walls tremendously if it was.Curious About Engineering Capacity and Staffing
Just wondering how other companies staff themselves, such as: - number of MV engineers compared to overall number of employees - number of MV engineers vs. dollar amount going through each week - number of MV engineers vs. number of products produced or drafted each week And specifically related to millwork die walls, how many engineers different companies have working on die walls and what kind of capacity are they able to turn out. For example, we currently expect one millwork engineer to engineerDrill Distance Past Part

Not necessarily a problem, more of an annoyance but I just cleaned out 3.5gb of event logs from the database and noticed there is a lot of stuff we don't need in there. For the most part I like the event log but I feel like it's logging too much stuff.Import Specification group

The current process of drawing products from the Product List (Overdrive Pro) requires that you leave that interface, enter the Product Viewer interface, right-click on the desired product to draw, hover over two flyout menus, and click the desire option for the drawing. I realize that the current process offers more options than previous versions, but it now requires several more clicks than was necessary for those versions. Is there any way to streamline this process to make it less cumbersome?Remove Construction Holes when Drawing Sections
