We Need "Actual" Perfect Grain
To whom it may concern, I have discovered what I believe to be a flaw in both the name and execution of "Perfect Grain" within Microvellum. I will try my best to articulate myself, but I may need to draw something to aid in someone's understanding. In
Rabbets - Clipped Corners
I have curved parts originally generated by SMA. Please explain why Microvellum clips the corner of a rabbet I added later. We will use a 1/2" dia router, so when creating the tool path, I want the path to extend at least 1/4" past the part outline. This

Feature Request: Product List / Overdrive: Jump to Current Room
I wish the Product List would automatically start with or jump to the 'current room' selected in the project tree. I think, for large jobs at least, this would at least help Product List / Overdrive load faster as it wouldn't need to load the entire list

Disable Microvellum Support AI during Ticket Creation
If I want to open a ticket, let me open a ticket. Can we remove the AI responses when attempting to create a ticket? I don't want to explain my problem to AI and I don't want AI telling me "that's expected behaviour." 12:36 AM | Daniel: Optimization for

Function Arguments break in Dark Mode
If I try to pull up function arguments while not in the edit formula screen and using dark mode I get a Could not evaluate formula error. I have tested by switching between normal and dark mode and this only happens while in dark mode. Was curious if
FEATURE REQUEST - Option to create nest patterns without G-code
Okay to put this as simply as possible, when we create a nest, say we do B1, we never actually use the code from B1, we always open the B1 composite, add offcuts / spare parts etc (also do nothing sometimes) but then we always generate new G-code from

Easier method of assigning 3D Hardware blocks
It would be great to have a file location browse button for assigning 3D and 2D blocks to hardware, so you could just select the block you want to assign to your hardware instead of having to type out the file location by hand.
Face 6 programs/Lables
im having a bit of an issue, seems to only happen on corner units (that i can tell) I print lables for parts with face 6 drilling, as usual... so the cnc operator knows what parts need it and which axis to flip the part.... our issue is, the lable picture

FEATURE REQUEST: Integrate Underpanel as Subassembly within Upper Cabinet Product
Hi everyone, There is currently an underpanel product available in the library, and we use it on nearly every job. However, it must be manually inserted and positioned each time. Given how commonly underpanels are used in upper cabinetry, it would be
Nesting tabs not generating in CIX BIESSE
I can not seem to get tabs to generate in the CIX when importing into BSolid. Is this an issue with how BSolid reads CIXs or am I missing something. Border method is apparently not important as Tabs work in all 3 but I set it to standard anyways. I have
Hidden Draw/Dim Prompts
I forgot what these (2) prompts were, but one was like ELVNODIM but there was another one that would hide some of the automatic rectangles that would be made in elevation no. I just dont remember what that one was called.
FEATURE REQUEST: Adjust Part Spacing Based on Material and/or Tool
I would like for the optimizer to adjust the spacing between parts based on the machining or border tool defined for the material. I think that this could be accomplished with an additional setting in the Material Code for adding a specific bit for the
Feature Request: Small Part Spacing
We have determined that spacing out small parts enough that it is more than double the diameter of the border tool plus a 1/4" that the parts will not move. Currently we have to mostly do this by hand. I tend to use a different processing station to space
Feature Request: Make the Add Lead-out to polyline button work
This one is self-explanatory. There is a lead-out button on the Draw Part in 2D / machining ribbon that doesn't work and Microvellum asked me to make a feature request after noticing that it doesn't work.

Occasional Weirdness When Nesting
Once in a while nested parts don't come out exactly as expected. Simple example: (Note the tool path reversal on the 4-sided cutout) I'm not aware of a Processing Station setting (Microvellum Nesting Optimizer) that would affect this, but to be honest,
How to remove the Item Number in 2D Elevation?
Theres a few products that in elevation we dont really want to show the item number. We dont process it on any report and its manually cut in the shop. Is there a way to delete it from a product without messing with layers.
Feature Request: 2D Tools and Partslist pallet - keep selected tool selected

Something seems to override the placement of the drawer front adjusters from the drawer front to the sub front of the drawer box. Hardware options in the subassemblies has the right formula (1/2 height). Any suggestions?
Feature Request: Determine part orientation / Machine point location in the smart layer prior to SMA
Our engineering team does a lot of custom products where we use SMA. We have determined with Microvellum support that the way vertical parts come in through SMA is random...I.E. the part orientation good side up switching facing back or forward, Machine
Feature Request: Rough cut offset for Small Parts
We have an issue when cutting solid surface small parts that tends to be solved if we run a perimeter cut first just slightly larger than the part size. I know in our tool file we get the option when doing a multi-pass tool that you can offset the first

Our XML based ordering 3D Rendering upgrade!
I though I'd share a link to our website that I've just updated with live 3D renderings for the products we sell online. Our website customers place orders through the site, which sends me an XML file that I upload into Microvellum that results in ZERO
