Toolbox Error when importing pdf's
Hello, anyone dealt with this kind of error? It happens when I import the second pdf. After the message Toolbox crashes. Thanks.Rendering options for BricsCAD
I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a rendering add-on for BricsCAD that will give us not quite photo-realistic, but something better than what BricsCAD offers natively?New (beta) Optimizer - prompt for True Shape
The new True Shape Settings in the Beta nesting optimizer seems to be great so far. We love all of the new enhancements. BUT, it would be nice if you could leave Block Nesting on as default, and *quickly* enable True Shape per 'work order' or 'batch'.Upper Filler Scribe Construction
Hello, How do you control the way Scribe Fillers on upper cabinets are constructed? Latest libraries have the filler returns dadoed into the front filler. We do not construct them like that. The Global Variable that supposedly controls that, seams tobrics cad viewbase
hey all does anyone know how to remove the view outline in the view base in brics cad see attachedHow to scale the UI?
We are using OEM and some of our drafters are looking to get the UI to scale a little larger so its easier for them to see. Is there an easy way to adjust this for them and scale some things bigger?How do I change CAM or DOWEL types on a product
I have products that utilize multiple CAM types. Sometimes depending on the part and sometimes depending on the material thickness. For instance, the back panel will have a Rafix 10/20, a fixed shelf will use a Rafix 20 and everything else is Sample Cam.Material Requests for Multiple Cabinet Runs - How do you handle them?
I am wondering how other cabinet shops are handling material requests when you have a project that has multiple runs? We use production Coach and do cabinet runs of 30 to 60 cabinets, and have been doing a separate material request for each run, and thenTrim Cuts
When cutting a sheet that has both face 5 and 6 machining, we machine the face 6 first as a full sheet. Microvellum does a trim cut for a reference edge before flipping, however this cut is a full depth pass. Is there a way to control this so that itHelp - DP3A TAP Pull to be flush with EB
Team, Do you happen to know if, when choosing the DP3A (Mockett), it generates an operation to notch the door to the same pull thickness, ensuring the pull is flush with the edge?Subassemblies - Project/Product/Row Level Colors on Workbook Designer
A nice feature of the Subassemblies menu are the green, yellow, and red color codes that let you know if the subassembly is unique or not. The work book designer has the same color code, BUT ONLY IF you are viewing the subassembly. It would be nice howeverWork Order - Split Edgebanding
How would I make the edge band report split for either subassemblies, or parts, etc. I was thinking of using the comment section of the parts to basically say "I am door". Then filter it by that. Example, we have cabinets then we have trim items thatNew PC setup.
I recently set up my new work PC and successfully installed the Microvellum software. I now need to transfer my personalized settings and configuration files from my old computer to this new installation. Could you please advise on the correct procedureRemove wall 2D Plan Dims

Anyone else running into the issue were locks are no longer drawing in section views when you have add lock selected for door and drawers? Originally they displayed when we were setting up or foundation library as there was a prompt to drawblock. NowFeature Request: Onion Skin only Small Parts with Multi-Pass Tooling
We have been working on dialing in our tooling strategies lately, and have had great success with a maximum pass of 1/2" while using 1/2" tooling. A majority of the material we work with is 3/4", so that's running two passes (one at 1/2", one at 1/4").Millwork Engineer / CNC Programmer Position

Hi All, Just starting out with Brics CAD.. Previously, I've often ran a linear dimension on front or side views of a product, either to position machining or double check my work. Now, sometimes I needed to refresh the view for the dimension to appearTool Assignment For Border Cut On Flip Operation
Can someone help me locate the tool assignment for the router used to cut the reference edges when there is a flip operation for a nest? We changed our default routing tool to 1012 but the reference edges are still being cut with the old default 100Feature Requests: Adjustments for 2D Drafting
We have been working towards being able to use the Foundation Library and there have been some basic drafting things that we have run across that we feel could be improved or updated to function better. Plan View: It would be nice if there was a clearCustom 5 Piece Door
Is there an existing CUSTOM 5pc DOOR in MV that would be like this? Or one that could be modified from. This is some more detail ... the 3/4" x 3/4" on the perimeter would be solid lumber that we would like to get linear solid wood footage on a report.FEATURE REQUEST: Product List (OverdrivePro) column showing if any subassemby save level is library/project/product/row
It would be helpful to see if any products in the Product List (a.k.a. OverdrivePro) have subassemblies save levels other than the standard library save level. The column could be a color coded dot for the save levels - blue/green/yellow/red to matchStrip Lighting Notch
How are people dealing with this light strip notch when the using the dado construction on the top piece? At the moment we we just manually cut the slot on the saw id like to just have it done on the CNC though, any ideas how easy this would be to setIs there a way to reference Product Angle?
Hi, I am trying to fix where a DRAWDIM token is placing elevation dimensions, and I need to reference the product angle- because depending on if the product is rotated 90 degrees or not, the dimensions need to move positive or negatively. It doesn't seemStrip Lighting Insert Should be a global option
Strip lighting insert should be a global option for each cabinet type, and or at the minimum a product prompt in the cabinet itself, having to add the sub assembly for it is a very cumbersome job if have a few units to do, or am i missing something simpleRemovable drawer inserts option
One of our jobs has requested 1/4" inserts in our drawers. Does microvellium have something built in for this? Have looked but didn't see anything that stood out to me. We are wondering whether we just need to make our own subassembly. thank you inUpdate 25.1.1107.641 .zip | Install File

I am using the perforated panel and have setup a router to use as a vertical drill. Desired hole and Router size are the same (9/32"). When it is processed I get a notification that it has used the 1/4 router and will pocket the holes. Why not use theShelf Clip Gap
Can we have a lookup table to determine the shelf clip gap based on the name of the clip. A lot of commercial millwork companies will use a Shelf pin and the Hafele double locking shelf clip. These require different gaps. When you change the clip, itDivided Drawers

Hello, I had an idea, not sure if it would actually be useful or not. But I notice when I get in a groove and am drawing a job, I can sometimes forget to either select the correct spec group, or forget to correctly number a product. Is it possible toMake Saw Cut Last
How would i make the saw on our Biesse machine cut last? I use it to trim the offcuts into a sensible handling size and not have silly shaped pieces, however since ive been doing this it uses it fairly on in the cutting process which has led to a fewSubassembly Save Levels?
