Feature Request: More advanced GCode naming options
It would benefit us and hopefully others to have the ability for GCode filenames to have more than 8 characters. I think in 2021 we can move beyond the 8 character filename limit that Windows imposed on us in the past. Currently the only options are "ItemVector polyline help

How compatible is the hardware found in the Foundation library with an older Component library. We're using a customized version of the 49.1 library and aren't looking to put in the time to do the heavy modifications that would be necessary to get theWork order giving me the wrong quantities.
Hello guys I am having an issue where I am not being able to trust the work order quantities. For example I have a Kitchen and my material quantity when I select all products, It doens't give me a righ number for sheet stock, but if I select one or twoSelect entire product shortcut key
Isn't there a shortcut/hot key for toggling the "Select Entire Product" option in the "Other" tab on the main Toolbox pallet? I swear there's one, but I've looked through the KB, the TB commands list, all listed commands in the CUI, etc, but I can't findCustom Pull holes off center on drawers
Need to drill holes for a pull with different center to center distance than what is available in the library. (160mm) - I change pointers to Custom Pull - Copy an existing Pull to project level - Modify machining token for pull - Apply modified pull to Custom Pull token Holes drill at the correct distance however on the Drawer Faces they're off Center. What am I missing? Thank you.Foundation Library
I cant find in Base Corner Cabinet the tab to have a "straight shelf" it has always been there in previous library. Has this option been removed in the new Foundation Library?Suppress individual Item Numbers
Can we get a hidden prompt or something that will allow us to suppress the product ID in plan and elevation per product. End panels that have an item number or ladder base that spans multiple cabinets throws the item number in the most inconvenient place.MV Recorded walk through
