Products Saved in Wrong Rooms
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 cabinets

LTSCALE is wrong for some reason...
The scaling on the dashed lines are showing as solid lines. Well actually, you have to zoom in super far and they are there. I change the scaling (which is always at 1) to .25, .5, 1, 12, 24, etc but it is still not what it should be. How can I fix this?

Adding sheet sizes in the processing center
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.
