The option to add text or 2D blocks to parts that will show up on the parts when nested. Hoping to add a visual aid to the nest for the workers in the factory. These blocks would also need to show when printing the nesting optimization report. AnotherReport that shows parts with dowels or ideas to link missing barcodes to machine parts.
Anybody have a report that shows parts with horizontal boring and barcodes? One of our guys forgot to apply the dowel machines when nesting. Now all the parts are ran and the barcodes are missing from the labels. I need an easy way for them to scan theLooking to Hire Microvellum Programmers in Toronto

Hi, I'm trying to change the regular drawer selection from standard wood box to a Grass Zargen type. The Global is in red and I can't remember where do I have to go to be able to edit this. Thanks in advance!Lookup Tables - Cad Blocks
Is it possible to use a look up table for different cad blocks? Case in point, I want to start showing proper section views of the grass zargen drawer boxes (among others) and thought I would do this via a lookup table to point the system to the correctMinimum Nested Part Size
If a part size is below a certain threshold, I would like Microvellum to automatically nest the part to a larger size that is determined at most likely the processing station. I'm thinking about longer rips of parts that may need to have a finished widthLibrary Cabinet Back issue

So, a little bit of a background first as to why I prefer "Prompt to Update Section" vs having MV do it automatically. The biggest reason has to do with the instability of AutoCAD's AUTOSAVE and the operation of drawing sections. Another reason is thatmulti-pass tool with onion skin
