Change the Distance Between Parts functionality in the Processing station
Would it be possible to have the Distance Between Parts prompt in each the nesting processing stations changed to a distance to add to the nesting tool diameter instead of a fixed spacing? We occasionally select a tool with a larger diameter than ourFEATURE REQUEST - Tool information needs to be visible on reports
We have the border tool displaying on our nest reports using the Material Code from the PlacedSheets table. We would like to display more information (like the description "3/8" RH Comp" as an example) about that tool if possible, but I can't figure outCopy room from one project to another
It would be great to be able to copy a single room from one project and place it in another project. This would be helpful when doing our builder work that mix and match from previous projects.Feature Request- Interface for Shop to process remakes in MV ERP

I would like the option of redrawing a product (or not) after making changes to the product prompts. I know in the product list you can access the product prompts interface and make changes without the redraw each time. But this would be a great timeAccess to live coded globals
A question more for the MV development team. I have some features in the global variables that I have set up that improve my workflow, but I want to advance these options from static names to ones that I can put a variation on. I basically have it allDowel removal at top and back only?
Can you have dowels and conformats machined in the back edges of divisions and ends, but not in the back edge of the top and bottom of the cabinet.Drawer Bank Laminate
Is there currently a way to nest post laminate for multi-drawer banks with the saw optimizer so that instead of having separate plam pieces for each drawer front, it will nest them all in one oversized piece to grain match correctly chasing them withFEATURE REQUEST: Make it easy to turn off dimensions of all products in plan and elevation views
The dimensions are a disaster in Toolbox. Some of the options in the globals don't do what they're supposed to and under 2D Drawings in the prompts, some of those options don't function either.

I have a corner cabinet inserted into a room and rotated 90°. When I draw the cabinet in 2D for the elevation, I am only able to get the one face. How do I draw the opposite face for the adjoining wall?Nesting Optimization Report Grain Direction

Brand new to Microvellum. Im trying to make as much of our Titleblock auto populate as possible, but am having a hard time referencing the desired info. Brics Text Field options don't seem to do the trick, how do i reference Toolbox Project/Room ProCan I control part front edge placement on a nested sheet?
My CNC operator prefers when all front edges of parts face the same way on a nested sheet. Is there a setting for that?Changing Depth Or A Route In The Nest
I am trying to figure out the easiest way of changing the depth of a routing in the CNC nests, specifically when the route has a ramp-in. I can change the depth of a route by reassigning a tool using the "2D MACHINING TOOLS" toolbox but I loose the ramp,Report not reporting correct height.
The Report is not reporting the correct height for bar back panels. It is taking the overall height of 1000mm which is listed in the cut list, and it is removing the toe kick height. Its not a big problem but i can guarantee someone will make it to theDistance Between Lead-In/Out - Is this controlled somewhere?
We are running into a major issue with moving the setmill for part borders. The standard lead-in/lead-out has a gap of 0.25 inches between them. However, when using the Move Setmill tool in the Nesting tools that gap goes to zero. After updating/creatingFeature Request: Enhanced “Fill Wall with Products” Functionality
The current “Fill Wall with Products” method allows a user to define the quantity of a single product type, then calculates widths based on the wall length (subtracting left and right gaps). While useful, this functionality is limited when designing moreFEATURE REQUEST: Make Salice Hinge Options Match the Nomenclature in Their Catalog
It would be great if the Salice hinge names in the hardware selections actually matched the names in their catalog. For example, instead of "6HT" have the name state the height of the plate.Cut Parts Wizard - Are multiple tabs Possible?
Is it possible to add more tabs to the Cut Parts Wizard, similar to how the Hardware Material Wizard has multiple tabs at the top? As we are wanting to move the Interior Finishes and Misc Finishes to there own tabs instead of being under the Category.FEATURE REQUEST - Differentiate between THRU and BRAD PT bits
I know there was a similar post back on the old MV help website that had quite a few followers, but I thought I'd bring it up again. It would be really helpful to have a way for MV to automatically select the correct bit when a drill hole goes through the material vs when it doesn't without having to do a workaround. Several users, including us here at Stevens, have been "tricking" the program using different diameters (8.0 vs 8.1) or similar, but it would be nice not to have to do that. PleaseBlock attributes

In the Processing Center screen could the functionality to change the material of an individual part row be added? The modify work order screen for adding material size and changing material name has been very useful but I was wondering if Microvellum could go one step further with this functionality. My thought was a drop down arrow for each part in the material name column that would allow a user to select a different material for an individual row. The dropdown would only show material of exactlyFeature Request - Ability to edit the part quantity that is processed in a workorder batch
It would be helpful at times to be able to edit the part quantity within the workorder itself when processing a batch of parts. This would be applicable when you have multiple products under the same product number where the parts are grouped togetherProduct Item Numbers Out of place
We switched to FL and one of the issues we are dealing is the Item Numbers jump out of their little rectangle. At some scales they get back in place but if we switch scales they are all over the place. Does any one else is dealing with this issue? HowModel Space Products Shifting Location — Troubleshooting

These labels are in my opinion missing the parts for the edge banding, except its not edge banding but a "face mounted Lip Down" piece of framework, there is nothing to tell the guys to apply an edge to these before painting.Last Toolbox OEM Build 25.1.0616.641
