How does everyone do Shop Drawings with View Ports
We've recently started using Microvellum, coming from software where each wall created its own view. We're running into an issue with our shop drawings, particularly when trying to show the inside of an island. When we switch to a back view in the viewport,Is there a way to show Accuride drawer slide in section?
This is what I am getting, but I want to show the Accuride slide that would extend in the back. Is there a global for this or do i have to add drawblock for every size of slide?Looking for someone using Nesting in Northern Indiana

Can't for the life of me figure out why the attributes aren't syncing with the MV project properties in my title block. I've tried adding them separately, syncing them, saving and it still won't update. I got 1 to work initially like its supposed to butReplacing Products Best Practice
Hi all. Was wondering what you guys consider best practice for replacing products in an existing older job with newer / latest versions of the same product (but named and saved differently). Right now updating the library products and adding a suffixSplitting Panel
Some of my panels exceed the sheet size limits for nesting. Is there a function in Microvellum to automatically or manually split them?"Stored Formulas" - How to Define

I'm curious if anyone on CCL has had to clean up a really rough library and dealt with duplicate subassemblies? Is there a good way to sort the wheat from the chaff without having to test each one individually? If I do have to test them, does anyone haveHow are people handling multiple "custom" pulls on a project or room?
I should start off with the fact that we are currently still running the CCL 50.3 library. Being in the residential sector we have many jobs that have 8+ pulls per room or job. We have one now where we have 10+ pulls in only 3 different rooms. For us,Does changing reveals on doors change the space from door edge to center of hinge hole?
Recently I increased the reveals of doors in a cabinet to cabinet setting from 1/16" to 1/8". The program adjusted door sizes but didn't move the hinge cup bore. My question is, what is the standard practice? Moving the hinge cup bore, adjusting doorsHow long would it take you to process ~500 cabinets into a Work Order?
We process approx. 9000 cabinets per week. We have work orders that range in size from 10 cabinets to 1500 cabinets. We are struggling with the slow speed in which Work Orders get created (500 cabts would take around 5 hours). Processing the batch isHow To Suppress Carcase Parts Drawing In Elevation
I am hoping one of the MV experts out there can tell me how to suppress the polylines that draw for carcase parts when drawing the elevation view of open cabinets. We used blind dado rabbet construction and MV generates rectangles that overlap eachotherBase Molding Doesnt go long enough
As per the title, when using the base moulding applied through the globals and or prompts, they dont follow the size of the applied panel on the returns. I think they should, i cant think of much of a reason why youd want the base moulding to cut short,adding hardware

Within the foundation library, I would like to know if two hardware elements are integrated into it: star hangers and monarch z-clips?How to align cabinet doors for sequence on grain material
I'm looking to see how would I go about making sure if I have a Tall Upper that sits on a base cabinet, that the doors would be placed on the CNC program correctly? To keep grain consistency between the 2 doorsPerfect Corners on MDF Doors
Hi everyone, I am working on producing MDF doors, but my corners are slightly rounded, and I'm looking to get a sharp corner. I am currently using a 45 degree and 60 degree bit. I route the square profile out first, then I add a route line from the inside2D Blank Section Drawing
Am having issues trying to draw a section from elevation drawing- instead of showing the internals of the cupboard, they are coming up like it's looking at the end of the cabinet? Any help here would be GREATLY appreciated.Access Panel option to radius just one side
I have been messing with the Access panel sub assembly for a while. Broken it and fixed it again, with help. One option I would like to see is the ability to have an access panel with the side against the back or side flat and the other side radiusedGrain direction alternating on the same sheet
It did the same thing on my doors and drawer fronts. I am fixing it manually, but would like to NOT HAVE TO DO THAT. Anyone know why it is doing this, and how to prevent it?Product development update query
On the 29th of may we had the engineering meeting for the month and we got onto the topic of walls.

Foundation Build 25.1.106.641 G,day Microvellum. When using applied left/right panels that go to the floor the adj legs move away from the edge the panel is applied to. I would like to stop this on panels to the floor but keep it for panel that requireExtruded Wall Dadoes
The dado cut on angled walls is not staying square. It is nesting as an angle on the ends of the dado rebates which is to small for my router to follow and is throwing up an error on my cnc and it stops the sheet from cutting. I have nested a big jobPossible lisp routine for hatches?

So im going through the material editor and called out for 'AR-CONC' for a 2cm stone material. When it creates my section the hatch is at 1.0 Scale. I went into 'Hatch' and settings to adjust it to .25 but it doesnt adjust the material selection scale.Pitfalls of drawing in ARCH D vs 11x17?
Shop uses 11x17 on occasion. However they also have computer screens to zoom in on things with pdf. My question is, if I use the larger paperspace and follow the AWI section scaling and everything, will it still print readable on 11x17 if the shop needsPart Labels: Boring and banding shown on wrong edge
Occasionally (maybe 50% of the time?) we end up with banding call outs and edge boring labeled on the wrong edge. It seems to only manifest on "Drawer Divisions" but not reliably wrong. No clue how to track down what's causing this. The info shows correctlyNext Page
