System Lockup When Work Order Directory Open
When reprocessing a work order and the work order folder is open (from viewing report groups), if you forget to close the window directory, the system will lock up and requires you to do Task Manager/End Task to close Toolbox - just as bad as a Fatal"Hinge Plate Inset Blum" for Inset Doors // V50.7
Hi, It seems that Microvellum only has one Global viable that reference the Hinge Plate inset from door (1.4567" = 37mm) . But per Blum's spec, the number is different (38mm) when it is an inset door. Shouldn't be there two Global Variables that willNested Optimization Report Index Number
Is there a way to change the nested optimization report index numbers to be sequential throughout every nested sheet instead of starting back at "1" ? We do not use labels on parts, instead we write a single number on the back edge of each part. Whereimporting library to SQL Server

Hello All I have a failing hard drive here at work and the IT company just asked me if MV when loaded onto a computer is then coded to that hard drive. As the last time it was cloned, MV would not work, and my hard drive is still failing. Cheers NigMolding Token
I'm trying to get an extruded part as a molding token but I'm having issues with part placement. See in GREEN the part without the Molding token, in the correct position. Then in RED when i add a Molding token, i did not change the position or base points,IF AND Statment

Riddle me this. Yeah I know this is a little long but humor me please. Why when we need to make step cuts are we still generating code that has an index move fore each cut? Why is this? Here is a simple square with 4 steps and the MV generated code. 55Pricing preventing work order processing
