Using Chat GPT or BING to help with formulas
Started using the new Bing (Powered by ChatGPT) to help me write formulas lately. Found it works really great as a tool to write series of formulas. What I mean is I can write the first and last formula in a series and then ask it to give me all the formulasSuggestion: Global Compare
Been doing some work on our template global file lately. And when it comes time to process a job that was drawn in the midst of these modifications, i am CERTAIN that this global does not have the changes i made to the template, but i dont dare replaceDrawer Slides Foundation Library

I could have sworn I seen something a while back that changed it from one size to another. We're wondering if for when a cabinet is reallyProject List taking too long to load - Expanded Categories
Our project list is taking too long to load and we have track it down to large overheads associated with Toolbox expanding every category in our list. If this expansion was not occurring I feel the process of opening the project list would be about 5-10 second faster everytime. Is there anyway to turn off the auto-expand for the categories in the project list view? If someone knows a bit about this one would be great to discuss. Below is a typical update query that Toolbox is running on every categoryLadder Kick
Hi All. I am trying to create a ladder kick with the face 20mm deeper than the rest of the frame. It seems the face dimensions and sub front dimension is linked and nothing I can do will change it. Any ideas? Cheers, TrevorPilaster machining on gables for adjustable shelves

I suppose I should ask first. Is there a option to run MV with a higher resolution then 1920x1080? What is Microvellum waiting for? It's high time for MV to make the adjustment.Database viewing

There are several ways I can imagine going about creating and allocating "extruded hardware" using cut parts, solid stock, hardware parts, molding, profiles, or some combination of any of those. We have tried 3 approaches so far: 1) Creating cut partsBlum draw bottom drilling
I'm hoping to get some assistance with a question. As far as I can tell I've set the draw bottom drilling to utilize a 3mm drill bit at a depth of 12mm for both the project and library levels.
