Custom Machining Setmil Position.
Howdy Team. Wondering if anyone's run up against this before or, if there's any kind of a solution. In the Image I have attached below are 2 custom cut outs I have placed upon a part. On the LHS is the unedited route as I have placed it. The issue is
Router throwing Step Height Issues with our Vee Cutter Bit
I built a coat shelf rack product and have been working on learning more about machining miters in. I have it setup but its giving a step height flag every time. All the other bits we can set it to the material depth +.004 to cut through and no issues.

Unless I'm missing something somewhere I would like to see something like this: After project gets approved, we move products around into newly created room based on work orders materials etc. The products are generally in a 2d plan state. So what I have
FEATURE REQUEST - Allow to escape when doing pick points.
A nice and simple addition would be the allow the user to press escape when doing pick points to cancel out of it. There is no way to stop pick points once it's started. If I have a formula in the prompt and accidentally double click it, I'm screwed.
FEATURE REQUEST - Separator Bar in Prompts/Wizard
We would like it if there were an option to add separator bars (or something similar) in Product Prompts and Wizard interfaces. This would help us group by categories within a tab. Currently, we use colors, which work ok, but we would prefer colors to
FEATURE REQUEST: Add Machine Token UI to Edit Design Data
If you've ever worked in the spreadsheet (Edit Design Data) and needed to add a machine token, then you understand the frustration of not remembering what parameters 1-9 are for each token that exists. The spreadsheet is not user friendly when it comes
Feature Request: Dark Mode
Working with Microvellum 5-10 hours a day I think it would be nice to have a dark mode available. Personally I run everything in dark mode since it is easier on my eyes and would like an option to do in Microvellum, especially in the processing station

Change location of Screw for Dado/Screw Construction Method
Hello there! Fairly new Microvellum user here, and first post to the forums.. After a while of digging through topics & videos, I finally figured out how to change our screw diameter from 5mm to 3mm! I wouldn't be surprised if the answer for this next
Pilot hole diameter for screw construction and drawer slide holes
I feel like I am doing everything right but I am stumped on the these hole diameters. I have screw construction set up with dados and those holes are reading .2756 which isn't even a drill bit size we have or I have set it to. I want it to be 3mm actually. The other issue is the drawer slide pilot holes are showing 3mm when I have changed them to 5mm. Am I missing something here? Also to add, when I change those settings below to 3mm, neither set of pilot holes change even after I redraw them.

Best Practices for Mistakes?
I don't know if it's just because I'm new to, not just Microvellum, but drafting altogether, but I make a LOT of mistakes. Every other computer program I have ever used has Undo (at east enough undos to get you out of a bind). But since Undo doesn't seem

Feature Request: Removable stiles or rails for FF cabinets
If you are building face frame cabinets wall to wall, you need to send 1 or 2 stiles removable in order to install the cabinets. We need the ability to tell the shop this information so the face frame is constructed correctly. I think having a check box

Sometimes parts are damaged and need replacing, this isn't too difficult to address when there are single parts, however when workorders have been made with multiple products there are multiple parts also made in the workorder. Is there a way to change

Hi, We use annotative Dimensions for drawings and the text in all dimension styles is set to "Move Text, add Leader". We find when we change the Drawing scale, this setting reverts back to "keep dim line with text". We used blocks to add finish labels

We use a different nailer height for the upper cabinets. The nailer at the bottom is 4" but our nailer at the top is 6". In the globals i only have a option for one size.
Shelf Edge Pointers Adding
The ability to choose separate materials for shelves that have different edgebanding for options like "shelf mounted lip down" that uses a 24mm by 40mm edging, rather than our standard 10mm lipping on shelves, but the system only pulls through the 10mm
Feature 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 together
Work Order History
It would be nice to be able to see all of the work orders a product has been released in. We're doing a hotel and releasing by floor. The product list shows the last work order something was released in, but does not have a history of ALL work orders
