Hey everyone, Just got done with a lengthy discussion with my manager about what we should or shouldn't save to the library, and what our process for entering cabinets looks like. We work commercially and enter large amounts of cabinets through the productGrass Zargen in Foundation Library
I see these in the hardware and graphics folder, but don't see any options to select Zargen in the project or hardware wizard. Am I missing something, or is Zargen not available in the foundation? Has anyone added this? My understanding is the is likeSetting Default Spec Group?
In my current configuration I have a few different spec groups. Is there a way to set which spec group shows up as the default?Legacy Object Size Limit
With our joinery projects getting bigger and bigger, I keep getting a warning pop up about the Legacy Object Size Limit. Does anybody know if I turn off large objects support, am I going to lose any part of my plans and program? I have drawn the projectROUTEDHOLE machine token wrong route offset

I am trying to have a token than can route multiple parts at once. Is it possible? Am i the only one who could use it? Because our countertops are made from multiple parts for visual use in our sections. Sometimes we need to put a sink hole in it andProject Spec Group Edits - Suppress Prompt
Just updated to MV Build 23.0808.641 from an older build. And the first annoying thing is ... how to suppress this message? Followed up a quarter second later ... not several minutes later. Is it a feature, not an option? It's going to be super annoyingIs there a way to copy a product from one room to another WITHOUT saving it to the library?
As asked above, my microvellum has been misbehaving recently and it is freezing when I try to save a product to the library so I want to just copy or move it to another room in the same project.Collective Error - Using Update Existing Machining & GCode
Hello, I manually added spot holes using a .DXF on the side panels of a cabinet/microvellum product. I originally drew them in @ .125" DIA. I processed the Job then realized the Vertical drilling bit in the toolfile is @ .11811 (3mm). So I went into theGrass Zargen
Are the Grass Zargen sides supposed to draw in the 2 d sections views? All I get are the bottom and backs. I do not see any drawing tokens for these in the cross section instructions either. I assume they don't like other drawer slides, but wanted toAdding shelf standards to back panel of a Master Horizontal Open cabinet?

We've been trying to pre-drill through the drawer subfront for our drawer pulls. The simplest solution I could think of was to add a -pull to the drawer box subassembly, link that to our default, and set the origin to match. While attempting to do this,Machine token for multiple parts
It could be nice to have a machine token that can apply to multiple parts a a time. Maybe a token in the prompts of the product to cut a hole or a line trough all the parts. Could also be an inserted part that as the token in it (like hardwares). FirstNest Optimization & File Location "No Location Data Entered"
I was wondering how on this page to get that text field to have the path? When we scan this barcode, the file doesn't open/nothing happens on the CNC. Has anyone experienced this, or know what might be the cause? Thanks, -JamesMissing Construction Line from SMT
Yesterday, I was working on a diewall using the Solid Modeling Tools. At the end of the day, I saved my work and shut down my machine. Today, part of the diewall is missing from the drawing and I can't figure out how to get it back. The diewall consisted of two construction paths because there are two section details, both a high wall section and a low wall section. When I saved and shut down yesterday, I had one of the products unchecked in the Tree View so that it was hidden. Today, I can't restoreNew Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 23.1.0808.641

this Rout is a global prompt we set up. Its 8mm deep all the way, it has worked several times previously. on MV it shows correct, nothing has changed. but the CNC is showing a diferent path. It routes strait throuh the panel and into the spoil board.Base & Tall Cabinet Heights
At our shop all of our toe kicks are sent as their own products. Because of this in the past we've always put the height of the base & tall cabinets as the box height not including the toe kick height. Currently MV is giving the product height as baseUpdate existing machining instructions doesnt apply onion skin (double pass) to small parts?
Does anybody know what's happening here? I go into a composite file to edit a nest and move some small parts around for better yield. But, when I use "Update Existing Machining Instructions and Gcode From Drawing" both the original onion skin machiningHow to relink library database to microvellum.
The main library folder was deleted by mistake and recovered but its not working properly. Seems to be missing the path that links to it. Ho can I set it up or fix this problem.Formulating in Associative Rotation works in some instances but not others.
I was using a formula in the Associative Rotation on a hardware part. It was set to show as a number when a piece of hardware required machining but to blank out (using "") when the bracket did not require machining. For whatever reason, in some instances,Nested Parts Offset from Panel Edge
I cannot find the setting to offset a nested part from the edge of a panel.

Hello, Hoping there is someone out there with experience using the inbuilt Flatshot token (not the autocad command) to produce 2D product drawings. I have a tabletop product that is made up of smaller tops joined together. Each smaller top is a subassembly.Freelance Drafter/MV engineer
I have seen a lot of fellow drafters/engineers advertise their selves here on the community page and I was wondering how do you go about that? I was thinking of doing it my self as a side job and earn some extra income. Any advise, wisdom or knowledgeHow to make all dados for back run through
