Line Bore Hole Size
I'm attempting to increase our line bore hole size from 5mm to 5.5mm. I've updated G!Shelf_Bore_Diameter to 5.5 and added Tool28 below. The model and nest are drawing the holes correctly at 0.21654 but the G-Code is still coming out as 5mm 0.19685". What
Feature Request: Ability for Microvellum Users to Provide Access to Microvellum peAk Area
Microvellum sent an email to all users on 7/18/2025 with usernames and passwords for accessing a new Microvellum peAk area for training videos. However, I'm having problems getting access to peAk for a new user. As far as I know, Microvellum users without

Feature Request: Assign different colors for different Sheet Stock material to distinguish faces.
This would help out so much to assist with visual cues and catches. Also would help how its the part is going to face on the CNC bed. Different colors on each side of the face so we know know it will nest and render correctly based on materials.

Hello, Could someone tell me how to assign a different color to each material I create in a microvellum project. I know from the video that it's done, but I can't find it. I was told that it was autocad which manages the colors, but how to assign and
FEATURE REQUEST: Add a User Editable Field to Materials for Project Material Callout Numbers
Add a user editable field to the material/edgebanding/hardware libraries for material callout numbers. This would be used when printing reports to show the material callout numbers uses on a Project without having to make the material Project Specific.

This is the reverse of an Innergy idea: https://ideas.innergy.com/ideas/IDEAS-I-4373 If we enable export of *.XLSX reports in the Processing Center, we would be able to upload to Innergy. Currently Innergy does not accept *.XLS files.
More Than an Upvote: Better Feedback for Dev, QA, & Library Teams
Hey everyone, - I think we can all agree the current "one vote" system is a good start, but it doesn't always show the full picture. Right now, a minor "nice-to-have" that lots of people upvote looks exactly the same as a "major workflow killer" because
Issue: duplicate label printer

[Feature Request] Function to detect machining on a part (for auto-assigning processing stations)
It would be nice to be able to set formulas that detect if a part has machining to determine a part's processing station. Currently, being unable to detect associative or virtual machining, especially from subassemblies — let alone anything manually added
Feature Request: Layer Controls Within Properties Panel
This would just be a real time saver, I think. Whenever I'm deep in the weeds and moving things I will quickly want to move things to a hidden layer or just a different layer, or when I draw quick guidelines I want those to be on a guides layer and will

Machining Tokens: Highlight on part when selected
Similar to how a part will highlight in model space when you are cycling through them in the Part Properties, it would be extremely beneficial if machining tokens acted the same way & highlighted in model space when cycling through them.. There is literally
Help! Product is in the Product Viewer and in Model Space But...
I've spent a week tweaking a set of uppers. Then today I went to redraw and they were just gone. So I close everything before saving and open it all back. The product is listed in Product Viewer, it shows in model space. But now when I prompt it, it is
How to save a drawing back into MV as a Project ?
We had a little oopsie here when importing data from one local computer to our server, not realizing it would essentially remove any projects that were on the server prior and replace them with the projects that were on the local computer. At this point

Feature Request: Rotate Part in Nest - Arbitrary vs 90 deg. Increments
I love the ability to rotate parts in the nest more than 90 degrees.. but it would be nice to have a couple/few more buttons for this. Previously, the button would just rotate 90 degrees and if clicked again, it would return the part to the original orientation.
Toe Kick above finished floor?
Is it possible to place a toe kick 1/4" above the finished floor? I know the front is controlled with the floor scribe prompt, but I don't know how to get the sub frame off the floor.

I think it would be a great feature if we could add TABS to cutouts or any toolpaths, not only borders
Blum REVEGO - Incorrect Hardware Drilling
Just a heads up, I used the Blum REVEGO product from Foundation Library 26.0112 and released a Uno+Uno cabinet. Turns out the hardware drilling placement is incorrect. I should have verified layout with Blum's E-services but I didn't. Don't make the same
True Machining with Solid Model Analyzer
It would be nice is there was an option to show the true tool paths and parts (radius in a corner) that shows where the router bit will leave a radius instead of a 90 degree inside corner. It would just be nice to see because once and awhile I miss spots
Material not found
Any idea why i'm getting this error? The material is in the spec group material list as you can see in the second screenshot. I even created a new one from the design data screen. Material exists in the database as you can see in the third screenshot.

SMA template product
I'd guess not, but is there a template product that SMA uses that we can modify to add some basic prompts, subassemblies, etc? For instance, I'd like to add a prompt to toggle "hidden parts", add a subassembly for our Flatshots, and remove the default
FEATURE REQUEST: Smart Layer Corner Type of "None" to do Pure SWEEP
As shown in the image above, the current "none" setting creates awkward breaks that really aren't desired in any sense of woodworking. It's also a bit confusing for new users when they choose "none" and expect a full sweep (like proposed) and end up with
