PROBLEM FOR NESTING AND ERROR ON SOLID MODELING
Hi, I have updated new library and new 2020 Version of Toolbox, I have 2 problem with this new version which I can not work with the software, 1. When I finish my drawing and will nest and create G-Code from my project I can not see any part on processingHow to turn off elbow catch machining?
Is there a simple check box for this, to turn off ? We do not machine for this on the floor , so I would like to take it off instead of going though the composite drawings searching to delete. We use it for the material take off but for production i wouldAdjustable Height Base Question
I'm looking at making an adjustable height table in my home shop and trying to utilize all the space that i have. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a base that can handle some weight and has a built to last framework. I would like a crankModify default MV hatches
Hi, where do you modify the hatches that MV uses for its sections? The one for particleboard is to light. I would like to change it or modify the scale. Thanks.Onion Skin Help? Tool Deflection? or Parts moving?
We are having issues with onion skinning leaving a lip on the bottom edge. But only on one side of this part.(See Pics) It doesn't look like the part moved because the lip is on the side where the lead in-out is on. We are currently doing some tests, Is the clean cut where the router has a full load ,or on sides next to other parts where it only gets to cut half of the material?Standard Machine Token Parameters
Does anyone know where Standard Machine Tokens get their default parameter values from? For example, when I add a machine token, 3 Sided Notch, the Tool Number is always 102. I would like to change that value to reference a Global variable so I don'tPart Properties - Save and Redraw
I upgraded my Microvellum Toolbox 2019 to Toolbox 2020. The "Save and Redraw" command for the Parts Properties window worked correctly. I then installed Update 20.1.1012.641. But the "Save and Redraw" command does not re-open the Part Properties windowElevation Dimension Offset Global Variables
In Microvellum Toolbox 2020, it appears that the Global variables (G!Elev Dim Offset Baseline and G!Elev Dim Offset Vertical) that controls the offset distance the elevation dimension is from the cabinet does not work. I have changed these Global variablesDimension layer help!
Hi all, I'm new to Microvellum (6 months in the software) and I've managed to change some configuration and can't figure out how to change it back. Previously when I would draw something the dimensions would automatically populate and then by hiding/unhidingInset shaker cabinets not drawing top drawer front
I have searched and searched and can't figure out what the problem is. I am sure it is a setting somewhere that I need to change. Ideally I want the top drawer front to be a slab and not shaker above the rail. When I do check the checkbox for top drawerHow to Permanently Change Grain_Matching_Identifier?
The way we sometimes number our products results in the Grain Matching Identifier using the same digits of, say, an entire room instead of for each individual product (eg, #123.01, 123.02, 123.03, etc. all get ID'd as "123"). When it comes time to processAdding promts to my routes
I know that there is a tutorial about doing this but I can't seem to find it on the new community portal. What I'm trying to do is use a promt to drive a pline route point location. Any help would be apricated.Would it be possible to add 2 fields to each hardware item for an image and a description?
We include a hardware page in our shop drawings that identifies the hardware used on the job. It would be very helpful if a field for an image, and another for the description were part of each hardware record. Then we could populate each item on theHow to have reports show mulitple items individually
Hi, I have a series of closets that are all identical. I am going to use the same cabinet number for all of them. I was wondering if there is a way for my reports to print out individual sheets for each unit instead of having one sheet and having a quantityHolzher Promaster Point to Point CNC
Does anyone else out there use a Holzher point to point CNC with Microvellum? We just replaced our old easy master with a promaster and are having a few issues with the Microvellum files being sent to it. 1) Barcode scanner is scanning parts, but willtoe kicks missing image in reports
Hi, All my products in my reports for assemblies have an image but some reason some products, mostly toe kicks and counters along with fillers do not seem to have one. i checked the report and it is pulling from FaceFrameImages.WMF. What do i need toHow Does Scribe carry through the projects from the Design Data
I took apart a product to understand scribe in MV and got very confused. Scribe is part of the X Y and Z origins, where if you add it, the editor moves your panel or part over by that much. But the size of the part seems to stay the same. Is "scribe"Maintenance Updates for Toolbox 2018 Coming to an End in January
As of January 5, 2020, Microvellum will officially stop producing maintenance updates for Toolbox 2018 licensed software. This decision to end the development of software updates for Toolbox 2018 aligns with Microvellum's development strategy to includeOffset elevation problem
Hi ! Just like the jointed image, when I do an elevation from a wall, my Toe kick and crown appears at a wrong place. It seems to be mirrored, or something like that. Their Item Name Pop-up below the drawing. I maked them with Extruded - Extruded MoldingsWork Order Problem Popup
Hi ! I have a problem with my work order, I can't make it ! This two pop up appears ! Any Idea ??Optimization Priority using Yield threshold
In microvellum, you can add multiple sheets sizes to a material and then use optimization priority to tell it to only nest a part on a size if the part wouldn't fit on another size first. This is great if you wanted to, for example, only use 4x8 material unless you absolutely needed a 5x8 or 4x10 or something else. That being said, I often have nests where the last few sheets could have better yields if they were 5x8 instead of 4x8 even if the parts fit on 4x8. This is usually a result of tall cabinetForce sheet size for work order nesting
Hi, I have a material 19 WD1 Plywood 1s, a stock material from Toolbox under Veneer Plywood that has both a 4'x8' and 4'x10' sheet size. I only want to nest my job on 4'x8' but it always uses the 4'x10'. How can I, without copying the material and thenReference Updates
Greetings, I have the Toolfile Column Heading PDF from several years ago. I've noticed the IPP toolfiles Tools tab will post some values in Cols. BA & BC which aren't defined in the old Column Heading document. These entries duplicate some values in theFEATURE REQUEST: Title Block Mass Update

Currently, when analyzing custom products from the Solid Model Tools, the parts come in using similar BASE POINTS. To an extent I understand that this is probably the easiest way to tackle the analyzed parts. However, there are times when I will use the2D drawing
would it be possible to add line numbers to the 2D Drawing interface?Fatal error (instead of error message) when drawing invalid hardware
Any time I attempt to draw a product and there is an error or an invalid hardware item in the cell where a hardware name should be, AutoCAD crashes immediately (see attached image, which was on a HWR Array). I've only noticed this on the past 2 releases.Machining Verification
These parts are meant to have a mitre on them cut by the Vpnt. How can i verify that has actually been applied? I cant find a place that shows me what tools are being used for each operation. Coming from modern CAM software, this is super clunky andXML file format for a Selco Panel saw

The product selected is not from the current project how do i fix this. I have created a product, but not yet saved it to a library. The program crashed and when i recovered the file it wouldnt allow me to edit the parametric relations giving me thisMaterial shown in prompts doesn't match project materials
I'm seeing ".75 finished Plywood" when I view material at the prompt level. This is what the material is named by default but has been renamed with find & replace in the project materials. It's not consistent because all the plywood shown in the projectCabinet Numbers are Missing
So earlier today as I was working, I mustve clicked buttons or something and lost all my cabinet numbers and measurements on the 2d and 3d Drawings...I checked the layers and multiply other options and couldnt find where to turn them back on. Can someoneNext Page
