Editing 2D drawing tokens to reflect accurate 3D model
I have created a custom product for my company and am having an issue with the 2D drawing tokens. It seems that the 2D drawing isn't referencing the correct face to draw. Product: Custom Suspended Sink Panel with ADA Scald Shield The problem is the 2DMaterial Barcode.
Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to create a barcode for each material, it would help me a lot to track quantity of material in stock. Thank you..mpr files do not update on one of our users computers
when one of our users are trying to update his nest gcode in the composite drawing it does not update the .mpr file that goes to woodwop on our homag n700 machine. All other users are able to update codes and the files update. we dont know if this isFEATURE REQUEST - HWR Array in 2 Directions
Since you can array in both X and Y on a bore token, it would be great if the same thing could be done with the HWR array token. It would help us out a lot for things like z-clips, standoffs, etc, to be able to use a single token to product a grid of hardware. Please let me know if this exists and I am not aware.FEATURE REQUEST: move 2D Tokens onto their own tab (not with Prompts)
I'm sure this would be a big undertaking, but it would be helpful if the 2D Drawing Tokens (and Virtual Routes, etc) were not on the "Prompts" tab. When moving prompts around, it can be cumbersome to make sure that you are not messing up any of the stuffCam Locks
Could you recommend a good cam lock for this application? Currently using CompX Stock Locks Cam Locks but want to find one that is included in Microvellum. Thanks in advance!Perfect graining forced on in component subassemblies
Foundation library components have a hard-coded value in the part graining when it should be pulling from the parent. Perfect Grain container is currently "#1" It should be "=IFERROR(INDIRECT(PARENTNAME("Perfect_Grain_Container")),"None")"Errors
Anyone else getting theses types of errors more and more consistently lately? Seems to be fine for days and then we just go through a string of errors that all seem to be related to the work order creation.Report Updating
Is anyone out there a MV Report expert and willing to update some reports for me? MV is really slow at responding to my request.Labels automatically print when processing
We are just working into the foundation library and whenever I process a job it automatically prints the labels, any ideas on how to turn this off?

Hi guys, I've been thinking about why cabinet ordering can't be as seamless as e-commerce – you know, where users place orders online, and factories kick in to help produce customized pieces. Imagine users having the freedom to choose assembly, delivery,Text Override
Where will I find this override and delete it? This is in Library v043.2Include all routes for part optimization (to avoid collision during a nest)
The biggest culprit for this issue in my company is when we use our 45° miter bit, it will have a collision radius of 19mm when it's cutting 19mm deep. 3/4" one and done gap will be too large to have on a regular basis, and we only miter a few parts inDrawer box slide based on size of drawer
I have a project that requires a heavier duty slide if the drawer box is over a certain width or height. This means that a heavy duty slide and a light duty slide could be used in the same cabinet. The heavy duty slide is thicker than the light duty slideSaw Optimization
We are purchasing a new Homag saw, and I'm considering dropping Cutrite and just directly sending code to the controller from MV. Is anyone doing this? How is the yield you're getting compared to Cutrite? I checked a few years back, and couldn't getSaw Patterns - Flipped Sheets
We run a split flow process (patterns processed between beam saw vs. nesting), fed from an automated panel management system. Often times, same work order will run multiple batches, some materials (with machining) to nest, and those without machiningToolbox Training videos

How do you turn off 2D hardware drawings in 2D Editor? I don't have any hardware drawing in the 2D Editor UI currently. Yesterday I updated a machine token to a hinge that I've never used before.

I'm trying to insert a Dynamic Block with linear stretches to our Dynamic Product Images. Its a set of scaled dimensions for use on the Isometric image. I can get other blocks to show up, but not this one... Do Dynamic Blocks not work here with the FlatshotMaterial File issues
Has anyone ever had a material just not show up in the interface? I can see the offending sheet material in the spreadsheet. It appears like all the others, but it's not available in the interface. Wondering if there is an easy fix. This is a project,MV COMMAND BOX MISSING
