SMA Not working Correctly
We are experiencing a issue when using SMA See attached. It seems to be kicking the part out slightly skewed? The Previous version worked fine for this? Its showng in the Part properties as well.FEATURE REQUEST: Pocket Mortice Token
The Pocket Mortice Token is great but I would like it taken to the next level. I need this token to have the ability to adjust the route depth and be able to adjust the edge bore Z height. This will make it so this token can be used for 1/2" materiPocket Mortise Token
Has anyone used the pocket mortise token in MV? It shows it as an associative token. I started playing around with it and can't get it to work. Anyone have any success using this token? The reason why I'm asking about this token is because productionMicrovellum Saw Optimizer Reaching Maximum Iterations
We use Microvellum Saw Optimizer, and I ran into this message while processing my parts in the processing center.

Is anyone else experiencing extremely slow population when making changes to a nested sub assembly? To change a shaker door to say Face Panel Qty from 2 to 1 takes up to 2minutes every time. I've done it via the spreadsheet but when I refresh the productHelp!!!!
Unfortunately, I am not the MV wiz. I just spent almost 3 days working on a project with 13 rooms all to get ready to plot the drawings and MV went into "thinking" mode and never plotted them. I am notorious for saving every 5 minutes or so when working.Drawing Tokens - does it have to [END]?
According to the Drawing Tokens section of the Knowledge Base you need to add [END] at the end of the list. Is there a reason for this? None of our products have this.

Is there a global variable to change how the holes for the drawer front adjuster are machined, i.e. routed instead of drilled? I called myself looking several times, but haven't found one. I'm having to go into the nest drawings and change them to routesWish List
My I would like to see Microvellum add this list: First on my list is optimization,l MV does a pretty good job, especially with square or rectangular parts, but when you start to get odd shaped parts things can go wonky. What really exasperates me isSink cutout
Hi there, How can I cut out the sink on 'Countertop With Substrate' which is the model from the library? Actually, I edited it with the custom sink and set up the sink cutout from 'Prompts for Sink'. However, it does not work. So, when I use ‘viewbase’Limitation of Custom Cabinet in Foundation Library
Hi, I have been peering at different versions of Foundation Library and am very looking forward to making the move. But it seems it has limitations for some cabinet configurations. I tried a few ways to make the attached cabinet and have no luck yet.Joinery

I like the idea of having the premise of the "Material Collection" available for use on hardware. I use hardware arrays a lot in our engineering and would like to have screws allocate automatically along with clips, brackets, etc. It would be nice notSMA and mutli layers ?
I have a group of parts that I used the SMA tool and converted to a product . The part grouping is coming in as one layer, which is fine. From here I would like to color code different SMA products for my organization products, visually. When I changeKV 255 Standards
Maybe I'm not doing something right, but is there a way to determine the length of the KV standard. We have a customer that is particular about the length being 2" from top and bottom on sides. Tried changing dimensions in shelf standards options andRe-sharpen CNC tools
Hi There, Just want to know what you guys take on having someone else sharpen your old CNC router bits and reuse them. Does it worth it? We are a shop with four CNC machines and we order lots of bits. Management seems doesn't really care but those newElvNoDim prompt issues
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it just doesn't work. I have tried this prompt on 2 products so far and have had mixed results. Kicker base product will add an extra dimension when turning this prompt on. It doesn't work at all on theShaker door Multitool vs associative parametrics

It would be nice to see a Drawer over Door bay insert added to the master designer base cabinet in the foundation library. this is something we use regularly in our current library vanity cabinets.Part nesting , change base point?
I did a quick search but came up empty handed . Is there a way to prioritize CNC part nesting to use the top left point as a point of origin for parts on sheet goods? As is we are using the standard lower left point.What ERP systems are people using?
Hey everyone, I'm not sure if MicroManager is still current or available, but I was curious to know what ERP systems other businesses are using and whether they would recommend them or not. Seems as though it might be a challenge to find something that works well for the Front of House, Drawing, Purchasing, Scheduling and Accounts teams.......

We select several Rooms when creating a Work Order. We would like to have parts sorted on nest by room number. Currently, to keep parts sorted by Room, we have to create individual nest for each room. This causes poor material utilization, as well asIncreased Control over 2D Section Layer Names
When creating a 2D section, all parts are created on the "2D_SECTION" layer name. Instead, it would be great if we could follow the 3D Draw Token Column, and use those layer names to dictate the 2D Section parts. So while all of our 3D solids have aRun Drawer Front Calculator Message
