Drawer Height Calculator

Blank 2D Elevation Instructions Still Draws a Rectangle and Dimension
I've got a product that's just 4 parts I created from the Misc Panel product. The Elevation Instructions are blank, but it keeps drawing this rectangle and overall width dimension. Is there a way to stop it from doing this? There are no sub-assemblies
3D drawings are not accurate
There was a time, not so long ago when MV would make 3d drawings that would show the radius on inside corners produced by the round bit. This was 100 percent accurate. Not long ago, this was changed to draw the 3d drawings to show the inside corners as square. I don't like this because the drawing and the product do not look the same. Just my humble opinion. Anybody else feel this way?

Passing values to Subassemblies in Prompt Values
I have a question about using the Prompt Values column in the workbooks. This is admittedly a little weird, and situationally specific. We're trying to set up some controls on our locks where we can choose either keyed alike or not in our wizard. With
Viewbase
I want to keep the section in my paperspace showing a number of exploded details but want to delete the elevation (on the left) which the section was taken from. Can this be done without losing the section itself.
Adding Machine Token for Valance
I would appreciate some insight on how to add the correct Token and the formulas needed. Any help would be appreciated. I have added Associated Const. Holes (Type 2), is it best to add (type1) instead. And what would the first argument formula be? THANKS

FEATURE REQUEST: Sub & Nested Sub Warning Messages display when product is redrawn (like L! ones do)
If you put a warning at the product level, it displays on a pop-up when the product re-draws. But, the same is not true for subs and nested subs. If you put warnings in them, they only display when you create a W.O. It would be great if they would work

Is there a way to disable log in to Microvellum? My sandbox should only have my name and a few local users but for some reason it has reverted to some weird version. Anyone know how to bypass this?

Angled Cabinets
Pretty disappointed Microvellum doesn't haven't an easy way to handle outside mitered cabinets in this situation. Maybe some of you Microvellum Gods can come up with a product where the side angle can easily be adjusted for us simpletons ;)
Calculation speed of different functions
Would anyone know which of these would calculate the fastest? {=IF(Rib_X_List>0,Rib_X_List)} =LARGE(Rib_X_List,COUNTIF(Rib_X_List,">0")) Or is there be a better way to find the smallest none zero value in the list Rib_X_List? Thx
hastag on nest sheets and cut size
Just recently we had one of our operators bring up an issue where the cut size and finish size on the label doesn't match. We have a pre-mill on our edgebander so these two sizes should always match. If your running 3mm eb on your parts then you cut off
Subassembly "Row Value" Keeps reverting to garbage data (Without Prompt Value Override)
Has anyone seen this? I've seen it about a year+ ago. After reporting it to Microvellum they said to just create a junk row and "ignore it". The problem is, now the bug is back and its picking other rows to invalidate. Its sneaky, random, and can cause
New Option to "Open All Drawings" at once within Processing Center Nest Options
Not sure if there is a way to do this already or if its been requested before. But when I am reviewing Nests within Processing Center in order to open the Nest drawings, I have to go back through the menu each time and open the drawings individually.

Added New Pull Elevation Orientation Issues

Button Fix Hardware Add
I was wondering if microvellum could maybe add button fix to the hardware list in the library. We have used the button fix type 2 for removable panels that have tight reveals and cannot have much lift off. I was debating on putting them in our library
Upper/Tall Cabs Side Panels Extended 2"
In our shop we extend the side panels of upper and tall cabinets 2" to accommodate for moldings. I saw the Valence Height Top option in the Globals, but that seems to take from the overall cabinet height and we don't include those 2" in our "cabinet height".
Using multiple Z depth option for the associative hdwr PLINE token?
