RIP TOOLBOX
Hello Shane, It seems this is the new way to get attention and get tickets answered on this new "improved" system. The gcode microvellum produces does not match what is drawn in the composite drawing. BIG PROBLEM. CHECK TICKETS.
Show specs when we use the machining sequence
I don't know if it has already been done or it's already something we can do but I would like to have my specs (like depth cut, speed, tool in use, etc) when I use the machining sequence, sometimes we only know the program wasn't good once we run it in
Repositioning Graphic original point
Hi Members. I try to reposition my strike from a 14mm offset up. I moved and repositioned the graphic file and redrew it from the drawing, but it was still in the same position. How can I make reposition for the graphic original point?
How to formulate False Front Width + Filler Width - Drawer Gap
As the title suggests, I'm trying to formulate the total width of my false front to add the width of the filler on left and/or right and subtract the drawer front width gap. Fillers + Cabinet Width - Drawer Left and Right Gap = Total False Front Width.
Get ready, a new Cases Portal is coming soon!
Hi Microvellum Community Members! I just wanted to follow up on the announcement we made a few months ago where we mentioned a change was coming. There has been some chatter and other posts where we mentioned some of the details, but we wanted to update

Adjusting Corner cabinet chamfer width
Hello everyone, I am working on building a library of corner cabinets for my company using our current specifications, and I require the need to alter the width of the chamfer. I have found the following: "Adjusted depth back corner:" =IF(Notched_Corner=1,Notched_Corner_Depth,IF(Chamfered_Corner=1,Chamfered_Corner_Width*SIN(RADIANS(Chamfered_Corner_Angle)),0))

Automatic detection of Hinges Clashing with Internal Options
At the moment I have to check if hinges are clashing with inner drawers and fixed/adjustable shelves or any other internal option, it is something that is sometimes forgotten about and material is wasted if the hinge is clashing with a shelve or shelve
LOOKUPTABLE()
Could a function be added for returning the LookupTable a cell is currently in? Similar to COLUMN() and ROW(). An example use for this function would be in the VLOOKUP formula: VLOOKUP("Text",LOOKUPTABLE(),COLUMN(),FALSE).
2D Nesting and lead-in/lead out
Hi all, We don't do a lot a nesting from 2D drawings but I now have a job that it doesn't make sense to go and solid model analyze to create parts to just have to fiddle with the nest again. The problem is that my border cuts on my parts does not seem
Back Dado
I am running into an issue with the back dado. I recently moved from MV 2019 to MV 2023. In 2019 the dado for the thick back almost looks like a pocket route. The bit selected will route in the shape of a rectangle. In 2023, the route is only a rabbet

How to center edge dowels with the CONST token
We recently needed to process some parts out of a 1" material. We are noticing that our edge dowel machining (CONST token) stays at 3/8" from the edge instead of centering at 1/2" on the 1" material. The HOLES token has a Z parameter that can be adjusted:

Image of the knife beam on the 3D
The image represented by 3D is not always representative when we're making a machining operation such as a square hole for a trapdoor or a kick, the corners should have the radius of the knife used.

Dust Control
Hi, We run sheets on a Biesse rover A FT (flatbed 3.6x1.8m) Prior to using MV there was a feature in BNest (Biesse's Software) where the sweeping arm would go over every board before it was pushed onto the unloading table. This would remove large amounts

Add a Lead In Option to Straight Line Route Token
The straight line routing machine token is a very easy to use, compared to the extra time it takes to write a PLINE. The only downfall with this token is the inability to add a lead in to the route. This is an issue because we like to try and avoid
