Feature Request - Lock Axis Control
By all means if there is something like this - or it's already been requested, let me know. But one of my team's biggest frustrations is moving an object in, say, the Y axis and then switching views and realizing it has moved 20 feet back in the Z axis.Material Takeoff withou Work Order
we create our material takeoff based on the work order summary of a project to figure all the sheet goods, banding, hardware, etc.. To do that i generate a work order called the project name then material and go through processing it just like i'm sendingIs it possible to edit the Composite Drawing default
Wondering if it's possible to edit the Composite Drawing default for how the text is laid out under the nest pattern. As some of our material names are long it covers the Yield value as seen in the Composite Original jpg. If possible I'd like to changeFeature 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 boxCNC VCUT - Laminate Chipping
Hi, How does everyone avoid laminate chipping when machining the mitres on CNC? Have not had much success Regards,'F' table default drawer slide thicknesses
We were finding that drawer boxes were coming out a little too wide for the openings they're supposed to fit in. Looking into the 'F' table, we see that the E column values are for the most part set to the exact thickness of the slides, without any 'plus'Grain Matching
Im have a grain matching issue with Misc Starter Parts, I made 3 different parts and I need them grain matched, I have added the Prompt for the perfect Grain along with the identifier and such. Ive attached a picture, The 2 outside pieces id like to matchMVTB7 Launch Prompt and Error
Weird error ... How I got to this was ... missed / didn't click Continue upon opening AutoCAD and then MV. So got into AutoCAD ... type MVTB7 (like I've done before in the past) and this error comes up. Double checking the NETLOADMVTB7.lsp it shows this:FEATURE REQUEST: Window Selection Mode to Follow CAD Behavior
Many operations inside of AutoCAD (and I'm assuming the same with BricsCAD) allow for object selection but will automatically switch to a window selection when the user clicks in space. This is very efficient. Currently, many of the commands in Microvellummissing rooms
We have a very large project completing over a 2yr span. Engineer opened it and on the autocad side there are only categories and in the product list side there are only rooms but no categories. Anyone come across this before?Feature Request: Maximum Button for Part List Review
It would be nice to have a Maximum Button to fill my screen for the Parts List Review dialog box. This should be standard on all dialog boxes.String ACAD Error
Anyone been getting this error, here is the error wording and screenshot of the main box: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.InvalidCastException:Cabinet material different the door/drawer face material
Cabinet material = PB Door/drawer face material = MDF Large educational project. Is there a way to do this globally instead of manually changing material on each and every door/drawer face? Currently in BSB, but Imperial Component Cabinet Library v0PLINE token coming out with "3" for first argument in Parameters?
I have notice a potential issue with the PLINE token, or at least a functionality I can't find documented. Our PLINE tokens are being generated by Edit Part in 2D with a value of "3" for the argument that controls whether the token is Machine + Draw,More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
Hey everyone, I think we can all agree the current "one vote" system is a good start, but it doesn't always show the full picture. Right now, a minor "nice-to-have" that lots of people upvote looks exactly the same as a "major workflow killer" becauseChanging Current Configuration
I think it would be nice if there was the option to change the current configuration without exiting and relogging in. It would be nice if maybe you could do it from the tool bar also.Changing Configuration - Splash Screen
I swear during my training videos, there was an MV command I could type to bring back the splash screen and change configuration. Would anyone know what that is?Feature Request - Customisable Processing Centre Ribbons
It will take a moment to get used to these tabs coming from the old school one but I'm willing to adapt to change if there is an improved use case for it. I like the idea of having everything taking less clicks to access and this style of ribbon howeverToolbox Login Screen - Revamp
This might feel like a small change, and in some ways it is, but a few tweaks to our Toolbox login screen could deliver a lot of benefit... The biggest thing you’ll notice in this mock-up is the new sidebar. The idea is to give users a quick way to seeChange Configuration Without Closing Program
There is a post about this in Questions and another in Ideas but I think this should potentially be categorized as a problem... Per recommendations by our Microvellum trainer we have decided to keep projects in the configuration they got started in thenUpdated to latest build with this error
i updated this morning and im not sure if its related or not but wasnt getting this processing error before, any ideas anyone had any similar issues lately?Grain Direction Tool - For those who have trouble visualizing parts and orientation
Hey All, I sometimes have a hard time visualizing the correct grain direction on parts on a nested sheet/how it looks in 3d. Sometimes the part is close in size W x D but I need a better way to check. So I worked on this and has been helpful for myselfFEATURE REQUEST: Adding Intellesense for Prompts/Material Names
When writing formulas/updating you have to either have that prompt memorized or go through the Name UI and find what you need. Sometimes you have to do this multiple times throughout and can be annoying. It would be amazing if there was a way to add anRevert Cell In Product Prompts to Default
Would it be possible to add an option when in Product Prompt or Subassembly Prompts where you right click on a cell and there is a "Revert to Default Value" option that puts the cell back to the default value or formula for the spec group? Maybe it'sOEM can't draw selected product on wall "from database" after copying in product list
Is this not a feature with 2024 OEM? I thought there was the option to do this in the 2025 or BSB.Processing Rules Not Applying to Parts Foundation Library
We have recently switched over to the Foundation Library and noticed that certain parts when we go to process a job no longer get a Processing Station applied to them when we select all parts, and then Assign Processing Station Rules to Selected Parts.No more separate plan view products
I updated BrisCAD to Build #25.2.227.641. This is how we typically draw a room of cabinets. After drawing the 3D walls, we draw separate plan and elevation views from the 3D wall using 2D Drawings commands (see below screenshot). When we drop a cabinetPrompts Save Initial State
Many prompts START as formulas, but will be overwritten with either modified formula's or hard coded values as you adjust the product to what you need in a particular instance. But its not uncommon to realize you changed something that you should notChange 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 ourMV_Undo or Restore Product from Drawing
Today I made a simple mistake. I thought I was deleting an added part but I erased my vanity I have been customizing and redlining for over a month now. If I had realized it right away, perhaps I could have quickly quit without saving, but alas, it autosavedGlobal control for Division text
Global options to display Elevation and Cross Section division text would be nice. We don't want to display them and need to delete the values in three division subassemblies with each library update. Build 25.1.421.641 Foundation 25.0813Delete work order after export - select to agree to all
Hi, Decided to do a bit of house keeping and zip and delete a load of old work orders. I've selected close to 100, ticked zip to export and ticked delete work orders after export. Big mistake! Now it is asking me if I would like to proceed to delete eachAdding Rail & adjusting door heights
Hi, I am trying to modify a Master Vertical Designer Cabinet. Basically, how we construct our cabinet is I would need a Solid Stock rail below the fixed shelf. (magenta). and then I would like my doors to finish out different than they are. basicallyAutomatically draw section if product is added to wall
I noticed that the elevations update if you place a product on a wall after you have already drawn the wall elevation. Not sure if this is a "feature"? However, the section did not update even though I have picked the section line running thru the wall/products.Cancel function when processing work order
Sorry if this has already been suggested. How many times have you gone to the work order creation window and hit process then realised you have missed something and need to cancel but cannot. If it's a large creation, this can take many, many minutesFEATURE REQUEST: colored parentheses in formulas, similar to Excel
When inside a formula, Excel uses different colors on the parentheses to indicate which pieces of the formula belong together. This is very helpful when you have an invalid formula and need to figure out if you have missing parentheses. Excel Example:Feature Request: Implement a “Project Designer” Functionality Using Library Designer Codebase
Overview: The development of a new “Project Designer” tool is recommended, modeled after the existing Library Designer. This feature would allow users to make targeted modifications to products and subassemblies within a specific project, without impactingFEATURE REQUEST: Draw 2D Plan from Selected Products.
Currently, there is a command that allows you to DRAW 2D WALL(S) PLAN VIEW. This is a handy tool for those who like to have the 3D model separate from the 2D drawings within a drawing. The problem comes when you have products that aren't attached to aFEATURE 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.Nesting Parts with Consistent Veneer "Flame" Direction
When nesting on veneered sheet goods cabinet parts, especially sides, the mirrored components will often not have a consistent orientation. This can result in one side being "flame" up and the opposite side being "flame" down. Having a way to designateNext Page
