Hi Community, Our company is goint to work with the Homag Machinery soon. So we started the course that Homag gives us for Cutrite. That course was good but it was not enought to integrate Microvellum & Cutrite together. Does anyone know where I can findPossible to change PLINE or LINE widths in spreadsheets?
I doesn't appear to be on the drawing tokens as an option. I have set the layer lineweights and VP linewieghts to try and reflect these changes but it seems that anything over .6mm is not really making a difference. Just not getting the results I am seekingExtruded Product Builder Template
Hello everyone! We are just now getting down to the nitty-gritty and trying to implement the EPB for all of our custom fabrication. It's been a big learning curve for all of us, and I still feel like there's so much we don't know, but I'll start withAdd Feature To Rotate Parts In Nest Additional Angles
It would be very useful if the rotate tool in the nest tools allowed the user to rotate parts custom angles. If we have parts that have no edgebanding we use AutoCAD commands to rotate parts for better yield, however if the part has edgebanding we cannotEdge top and bottom of sides globally
Morning, I would like my upper cabinets to come into the drawing with the top and bottom of the carcass side edged every time. I.E. Not have to do this manually as I have in the attachment. Had a good look around but cant find where to set it up. AnyNew Foundation Library Release Available Now: Build 24.0221

I have a project several rooms. When I tried to create a work order, all the cabinets are listed in the wrong rooms from which they were drawn in. I checked the Product Viewer in a room and the cabinets drawn in that room are not listed in the Product Viewer. The Product Viewer does list some cabinets, but for a different room. This does not affect the processing of work orders since work orders are not room specific. But there is a bug in Microvellum. All my other projects appear to have the cabinetsCCL Angled Cabinet

How many of you have nested something only to realize you had one part that needed to be on a 5x10 instead of a 4x8. Or you viewed your nest results and discovered the one sheet of laminate in your nest only needs to be 4x8 not 5x12. What if you could just add the sheet size to the work order? I am not saying let us adjust thicknesses since that would only cause problems. But adding a sheet size or changing available sheet qty should not cause a problem and would be very useful.Ives 580 Ceiling Hook ?
