Product detail report

Doors & Drawer Fronts missing from 2D Plan drawings
After a recent update the 2D Plan view is no longer drawing doors and drawer fronts. Is this an added option that I can turn back on somewhere? I really liked the doors and drawer fronts being on the Plan drawings. Anybody have a solution to this?

We are trying to implement Keku clips into these cabinets. We've done well before with the ADA ones but when he tries to put in the clips on this one, the machining for the holes disappears on one of the axises (or axi?). Could someone please give me
Custom Part Toolpath Failing
Can anyone give any insight as to why the toolpath for this part keeps failing (not generating at all)? See the part with the hatch in the picture. There was a part originally created by SMA. Other parts like it worked while yet others I had to redraw
Product Update Request: Soffit
1. It would be nice if there was an option to do more of a full depth product (Upper Cabinet Depth) with separate bottom plate cleating and blocking. This allows the front bottom plate behind the face panel to be finished while the rear can be a raw material.
Trash Bin Logo
Greetings, I recently modified a trash bin and added circular routing for the trash bin logo. The box was at 26" and once I changed the width, the logo moved right along with it. How do I keep the logo in the center of box?

Title block not populating from project properties
I changed the property value to be something that was less confusing and now the info wont populate across the drawing. Unfortunately, I know enough to try to make the change but not enough to fix it. I can still add info to the blocks by double clicking.
Trouble Creating Title Blocks With UDPP
Instead of my title block attributes pulling property values from the UDPP, it is asking me to input them manually every time I insert a title block (see attached screenshots). How can I fix this so that it the title blocks are auto-filled based off the
Feature Request - Pilot hole only construction method
There are many times I've wished for parts to get machined for pilot holes that don't match the properties of the 'Screw' construction, where we usually use confirmat screws (8mm face drilling and 5mm edge bore). Could we possibly get a new Pilot Hole
Biesse Rover Edge
Best method of automating connection from MV to the Biesse Rover Edge (pod machine we use for edging curved profiles). Does anybody have this setup? We do very manual process - no part labels or anything. Operator imports dxf from a shared folder and

Feature Request - Lock Axis Control
By all means if there is something like this - or it's already been requested, let me know. But one of my team's biggest frustrations is moving an object in, say, the Y axis and then switching views and realizing it has moved 20 feet back in the Z axis.

'F' table default drawer slide thicknesses

Weird error ... How I got to this was ... missed / didn't click Continue upon opening AutoCAD and then MV. So got into AutoCAD ... type MVTB7 (like I've done before in the past) and this error comes up. Double checking the NETLOADMVTB7.lsp it shows this:
FEATURE REQUEST: Window Selection Mode to Follow CAD Behavior
Many operations inside of AutoCAD (and I'm assuming the same with BricsCAD) allow for object selection but will automatically switch to a window selection when the user clicks in space. This is very efficient. Currently, many of the commands in Microvellum

I swear during my training videos, there was an MV command I could type to bring back the splash screen and change configuration. Would anyone know what that is?
Feature Request - Customisable Processing Centre Ribbons
It will take a moment to get used to these tabs coming from the old school one but I'm willing to adapt to change if there is an improved use case for it. I like the idea of having everything taking less clicks to access and this style of ribbon however
Toolbox Login Screen - Revamp
This might feel like a small change, and in some ways it is, but a few tweaks to our Toolbox login screen could deliver a lot of benefit... The biggest thing you’ll notice in this mock-up is the new sidebar. The idea is to give users a quick way to see
Updated to latest build with this error

Grain Direction Tool - For those who have trouble visualizing parts and orientation
Hey All, I sometimes have a hard time visualizing the correct grain direction on parts on a nested sheet/how it looks in 3d. Sometimes the part is close in size W x D but I need a better way to check. So I worked on this and has been helpful for myself
