Part Properties Visualization Interface
https://community.microvellum.com/portal/kb/articles/introducing-a-new-part-properties-visualization-interface We're running build 20.1.403.642 and definitely do not have this interface. We still have the old interface shown in figure 2. Anyone have this interface? Is this something that wasn't implemented when planned?
Saving Subassembly Options
At times when developing a new product and modifying an assembly it would be nice to be able to set a default save level and bypass that step. I have been working on a product where I have modified and saved as new 4 assemblies, these are bay inserts that can be selected and interchanged so there has been a lot of saving and redrawing. At times I would like to just save and redraw to a level without the extra checking and clicking. Or, am I missing something?

Editing materials at project level wo/ changing Library
Hello, Currently To Edit a material I create a copy of the " Green Dot" to Project Level, make my changes and apply to corresponding pointers. Actually replace the Green Dot Material with new Black Dot material. I would like to not have to make a copy every time I need to add/remove a new sheet size. Edit Material is not an option on the Green materials. Sometimes, for whatever reason the Edit Multiple Materials screen open I changes to "Green" material are possible. Problem is I cannot reproduce

How to Add Dowells to EPB Parts?
I couldn't get a response direct from MV so if anyone can help, I'm trying to create a simple slatted canopy to be fastened by dowels and all cut and machined by CNC and horizontal boring machine. I can create the wall but the none of the options for adding dowels seems to be functioning. Can anyone tell me how to add dowels and have them associate to the adjacent member (just like a stretcher in a cabinet carcass)?

Add a column in Overdrive Pro that shows the room each product is in.
When you are open in the whole project it shows every product. The rooms are sub cagetories to the project. When looking to find which room a cabinet is in, you have to click and search each room. It would save considerable time if the root listing for the project had a column for the room the cabinet is in. Then it would be simple to look up the cabinet number and see which room it is in.
AutoCad Modeling Operation Errors
Not sure if this is an issue with working remotely or issue with toolbox or autocad but whenever i do a redraw or a file save i get a long delay and on the command line it is showing a modeling operation error - error code 40002 and 109028. Ways to resolve is just wait it out and sometimes it will come back. I have also logged out of my remote session and when i log back in the error seems to unlock itself. i never noticed the issue until the recent update of moving to the 20.1.417.642 build.
Product drawing random lines
I have a product that I made with the solid model analyzer that is placing lines in the shape of a rectangle at the 0,0,0 coordinates. Separate lines, not polylines. The rectangle measures 1/2" w x 3/4" h. I've been able to determine that it is being created by the interaction of the DADO machine token on my studs with the top and bottom plates, but I cannot figure out why it's being created. I've attached the saved XLS file of the product if anyone wants to take a look at it and see if they can
Not selecting correct tool
Has anybody else had an issue with the routing tool not being correct in the machine files. I have MDF cutters set up for MDF, and the correct tool names in the MDF material file, yet when it is processed and sent to the CNC its reverting back to the default Particle board cutter.
Need to Fix Blind Corner Cabinets Door Size and Location (Hinge is in the not located properly in 3D)
I had created a topic and I belive a ticket back in the old sytem but it was never fully fixed. https://community.microvellum.com/portal/ticket/150525 https://microvellum.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/109060 While the updated formulas work when doing a using the wrap around blind hinges if you need to use a return panel the door sizing gets thrown off. Also, making these changes so the door is now an overlay door then makes the “Blind reveal” prompt in these cabinets off as well since it doesn’t
How to reference a variable in the project wizard

Stimulsoft Report Code
In the old version of stimulsoft reports supplied you could click on the code tab and edit code of the report manually. In the new version, I cannot find where to do this anywhere. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks
Specification Component improvements.
I have two suggestions i would like to make as improvements for the project specification groups setup menu. The first is when assigning components to specification groups, it would be nice if i only needed to select the specification group instead of expanding the group and selecting the specific sub component. The second is, the list of components on the right side of the menu. I would like the ability to open and edit the directly instead of selecting the specification group that is using the

Have you started planning for re-habitation of your office/work areas post lock-down?
With the lock-down restrictions easing here in Oregon and across the nation, it's been exciting to work on the plan to move back into Microvellum HQ. With any luck, it'll happen next week! We're loosely modeling our plan after Trump's plan and we took a few minutes to sketch out the revised layout for the office. Phase I – Volunteers may return to the office, telecommuting is supported. Phase II – All remaining workers return to the office unless one is uncomfortable or has a vulnerable person to

Work Order Selection - Search function no longer searches
Has anyone else noticed since installing Build #20.1.417.642 to TOOLBOX for AutoCAD 2020 or 2019, you can no longer use the the search bar to find a Work Order (WO) or WO group in Edit Existing Work Order > Work Order Selection > Search? This is happening on both the workstation and travel laptop. Prior, I was able to enter my Job # or criteria and would have only those with in the search come up. Now it does nothing, just have to scroll through & find them manually. Pressing ENTER does nothing after

Ticket creation feature removed?
HI, I notice that you have removed: What product are you using? from the Ticket creation. Shouldn't this still be in the submittal form to assist in troubleshooting or have you found that if it's a problem in AutoCAD it's a problem in Toolbox OEM or visa-versa. Using: - AutoCAD 2019 (secondary - Library Designer cherry picking & shop support while working on new jobs...sparingly - don't want to work in same Project database) - AutoCAD 2020 (primary) - AutoCAD 2021 (installed & not supported)

New Knowledge Network - what happens to the "old" tickets
All of my open tickets have now been transferred over to the new Knowledge Network but my closed tickets still remain under "eSupport". Will we still have access to the eSupport or will closed tickets be brought over to the new platform? We reference old tickets from time to time and want to make sure we can still do this. Also, all of my transferred tickets show that they are 2 days old when in reality they are at least 6 months old. Will this be an advantage or disadvantage in regards to priority
Wish List - Section Default Options
The current default setting for the "Draw Product Sections" command is set approximately to the centerline of the product. Speaking for myself, more often than not, the default section location is problematic. I have to type in the “Distance in X From Product Origin to Cutting Plane” each time and have to spend time to determine where that should be. It may only take a short time to accomplish, but when you add up all the time spent on the multiple sections I do for each project it adds up fast.

Corner Cabinet Base back modification
Looking at the Corner Cabinets backs is there an easy way to modify them to have the backs be 1/2"? or to make the backs have an option to switch from thick to regular? we typically construct all our cabinets this way, i understand the need to have thicker backs when having an interior component like adjustable shelves but with having just a Lazy Susan we do not need the thicker back option. i had changed everything by trial and error to modify the cabinet to need what we want but it would be better

Microvellum Introduces New Software Versioning Schema
If you’re like most users, the version or build number of your software may not be that important. Whether it’s a beta major, minor, or beta build number doesn’t really matter, right?

So, we’ve made some changes to our build numbering schema to reduce the confusion and help users be more informed. As of February 3,
