Exporting Library Specifications and Configuration
Hello, I just hired a remote employee and would like for their Microvellum to be set up identical to mine. I've made lots of changes to my global specifications and have changed things in the excel workbook files so that the shop drawing process is quicker.While Loops
Hey all, Have any of us figured out a way to almost do a while loop? I often find myself writing products/sub-assemblies and almost always feel like I want a while loop/for loop. I know there are many functions that do very specific things, and I useONLINE CABINET DESIGNING 2.0 - A Online Design App
Hi all, about a year ago, I discussed a related topic in this Online Cabinet Designing forum. Now I’m back with a preliminary result. This is a browser-based design application developed using a WebGL library called Babylon JS. It allows users to designDimensions not showing
I am in the process of setting up toolbox BSB and I can not get dimensions to show in front view or side views, only top view. When I dimension the side view it shows in the top view.Assigning priorities to routes and sawing operations
Hello I am trying to set up a program with our miterfold aggregate head to receive an initial route out with our down sheer bit. The idea is to get some of the material out of the way before the miterfold head makes its pass to help with tool life. IBricscad Custom Hatch Pattern
Does anyone know where all the hatch patterns live? We have a couple of custom ones we use and need to addFeature Request: Pass an attribute to dynamic blocks in the DRAWBLOCK token
It would be nice to be able to pass values to an attribute on a dynamic block through a parameter in the DRAWBLOCK token. Example: A dynamic block with a attribute tied to a stretch property, or state condition like visibility. Basically, it would replaceLarge Work Orders
Trying to get some opinions on this and not really go to a sales rep yet since they are just going to say "Yes it works". I am a long time MV user and with that I know it takes a long time to produce a work order from a room that has over 200 productsToolbox BSB Download Temporarily Unavailable
I wanted to give you a quick update regarding the install files for Toolbox BSB. We’ve temporarily taken down the downloads while we investigate a security alert flagged by Microsoft Windows Defender. For now, the files are not available through the MicrovellumRe-naming a subassembly
This is probably an easy answer and dumb question. I have two separate models that share same subassembly, "Carcass Tall FF". Can I just re-name one from the edit design data subassemblies tab and then save sub to library? Or if there is another way canBricsCAD MEASUREGEOM Alternative
In Autocad, all i had to do was press a button for MEASUREGEOM RADIUS and i could click any 2D / 3D radius i wanted and have it display in the command line. A tool we used hundreds of times a week. From what I can find, there seems to be no such optionBSB Plotters problems?
I've got a few questions for other Toolbox OEM users who are now testing and configuring Toolbox BSB. As the main user/administrator in my company, I installed, configured and did testing of BSB including creating a new template, new PC3 files since ACExclude Scrap from Yield Calculation
We currently have scrap management turned on to square off the waste, leaving it up to the CNC operator to decide whether to keep it or not. We would like to see scrap not included into the yield calculations. After doing some digging, Microvellum calculatesBricsCAD Sheet Set Manager

Ability to sequence text/mtext numbering. I believe something like the TCOUNT command. This would be useful for outsourced drawings. I don't believe this currently exists?Foundation Library - Drawer Front Adjusters
I’m setting up the Foundation Library and have a question about the drawer front adjuster. I’d like the adjuster to center on the drawer face rather than the drawer box. I don’t see a Global Option for this, so I believe I’ll need to modify the subassemblies.2d Section Planes
We use a lot of 2d section planes for our shop drawings. In BricsCAD when I create a 2d cross section I am getting two(2) different hatches. In my section settings I have chosen solid as my predefined hatch. However as you can see in the attached screenFace 6 first - reversed for shaker doors
We have a job coming up with shaker doors similar to the attached. We are set up to do face 6 first machining and I'd like to do as much as possible on the cnc. Is it possible to do face 5 first, then flip? I think the sheet will lose too much suctionYield Calculation Options for the New True Shape Nesting Optimizer
We’re making good progress on our new true shape optimizer, and I’ll have more to share soon about what we’ve been working on and when you might be able to access the beta. Today, a question came up that we ran by our internal team for feedback, and weMicrovellum Server Down?
