Imperial and Metric Toolbox Configurations
I currently am using an Imperial Toolbox configuration on a SQL Server. I would like to create a Metric Toolbox configuration. Can you have an Imperial Toolbox configuration and a Metric Toolbox configuration on the same SQL Server? If so, how do I distinguishEBP/SMT/SMA functioning in various "Builds and Libraries"
Seeing that there has been no further "development" of these modules, will using various "Builds and Libraries" have different drawing outcomes?. I.E. the problems that exist in using Build 23.1.3298.641 Library v045.0 the same when using Build 23.1.0502.641Importing Formula Material Via Spreadsheet
I a working on a new library setup, and I wanted to know if there is a way to import in formula materials like you can do with standard materials via the M spreadsheet?Machine Speeds set by MV
Hey guys, I recently had an IPP installed and noticed quite a few differences running our Biesse. The main one that I can't get past is the machines speed being controlled by the machine operator and the speeds set on my materials are now useless, meaningNew Foundation Library Release Available Now: Build 23.0623
We are happy to announce that a new update for the Foundation Library, Build 23.0623 is now available! The latest release of Microvellum's Foundation Library includes the addition of numerous products, such as a hardware bracket for countertops, numerousL shape solid rail
Hi everyone! I need to place L shape solid rail to my base cabinet, but I wish for my cutouts to be only pockets instead of full corner/panel cutouts. But as I was looking for those cutouts settings, I find myself unable to find any part that they mightNew Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 23.1.0621.641
We are happy to announce that Toolbox build 23.1.0621.641 is now available! This build includes several resolutions for issues like configuration errors, the removal of redundant options and buttons, along with multiple UI improvements. Please refer toIdentifying Drawer Parts with Bay Position - Best practices?
The problem - We occasional lower or raise a drawer box part in a cabinet with multiple drawers. Our CNC operator doesn't always know which drawer box gets the modified part. I plan to add the bay position name to help our operator identify which drawerFeature Request: Open Finish toggle actually makes all interior subassemblies open finish
When prompting a cabinet and toggling the "Open Finish" toggle under "Finishing Options", only the carcass is changed to open finish, while all of the interior components remain white mel. I don't understand the reasoning behind this. Why would you wantNesting Patterns are leaving half the sheet or more
When I optimize, the parts end up being split across multiple sheets unnecessarily, leaving half the sheet or more. The amount of parts, part sizes and part material is inconsistent each nest, sometimes works fine, sometimes it doesn't. See attached screenshots.I need help with finding the Carcass Base subassembly.
Where can I find the subassembly Carcass Base? This subassembly was available in Library v050.7 but not in Library 23.0609. See attached screenshots. Thank you for any input.Starter Spreadsheet For Solid Modeling
When you create a new product using Solid Model Analyzer, all the parts go into a blank spreadsheet that has only Height, Width and Depth. If you are a shop using formula driven materials that require local prompts to get the material information from, these new products do not work correctly. Can we get the ability to customize the spreadsheet that SMA uses by default for new items? This opens the door to many possibilities including having default draw tokens at the ready. Kind of like usingLabeling
Has anyone had success creating a QR code that will give the information of the room# or the cabinet# and include that on a label that we create?Drawer Divsion Dado
Trying to get a foundation library intro prouduction for our company. A few tweaks left... I cannot these variables: variable to turn off the dado at drawer divisions - see attached How to turn off borings to on the stretcher maybe to attach countertops?Routing Laminated Doors Face Down
We are currently machining our doors on our CNC so that we can also include hinge and handle boring. We run one side laminate with a balanced backer, the laminate face is down. We are having the laminate chip out on us most of the time, but not everyHinge Dist From Side
Hi, As attached, I am trying to automate "Hinge Dist From Side" a little more. I am struggling to use the 'SEARCH' function to read 0mm or 3mm in the appropriate column. My understanding of this function is limited and it may well be I am using the wrong3MM EDGEBAND SETTING NOT GIVING APPROPRIATE GAP SIZE
I’m having much difficulty editing edgeband settings for an important project. I have searched the database, videos and googled. Wondering if you’re able to help? We have the specs set up for 3 mm edgebanding, but it is not allowing the product enoughFEATURE REQUEST: LISP Routines Please!
I know I’m asking for something that probably isn’t going to happen, but I thought I’d throw it out there anyway. I used to have a ton of LISP routines that helped us speed up our processes. Some were very simple, others more complex. But the need cameFace Frame Bevel and Miter on the Corners.

I’m trying to use the validation code to restrict a value in this scenario: I have a prompt which has a formula and I want to validate the result based on the validation code column to show a warning message.

I'm trying to create DXF's that include the Project name for each part, and also the Work Order name. I'm currently creating them at time of work order creation, and they already include the other info that I need. How do I get the project name and workViewbase hidden
I have never had any need to draft beyond a basic level, other than straight forward plans, but when I do use VIEWBASE, I encounter an issue on the odd drawing. The view is hidden in paper view and I am unable to resolve this. Any advice to resolve this?SMT "Extruded Parts"
I have checked rechecked and also redrawn the "Geometry" for my "extruded Parts". They constantly show up with an overlap of one section to the other by .02". What is causing this to happen? Much appreciation in advance.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
I have always worked with a local instance of Microvellum so a few questions about MV in the server context to make sure i'm not assuming anything. *i can have multiple librarys/configurations? * its possible to import a library that i have a tweakedHard drive issue
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
Hi, I'm trying to create and IF AND statement but I don't know how to word it properly for the formula to work.

Does anyone know why my Axial Drawer Slides are not showing in Section? I tried everything including picking a cutting plane right below the slides, changing the cutting distance in X, nothing worked. Thanks,Improved Subassembly Prompts Selection Window
