CNC Head Boring Optimization
Our machining department is asking if there is a setting to optimize the head boring within Microvellum? For example, on a gable the CNC will drill one set of holes on the bottom of the gable then move to drill a set of holes on the top of the gable,Using "Part Properties" in "Foundation Library"
I am finding a different outcome when I make changes in "Part Properties". I just updated the build to 23.1.407.641 Before this update when making changes, a redraw would reflected the changes. When I make some of the same changes in the new build, aComprehensive List of Foundation Library Products
Is there a comprehensive list (with images if possible) of what products are in the Foundation Library? I think anyone looking into it would find it helpful to see what's included. A PDF document or anything?Overdrive Pro: Right Click: Show in Room Feature
Would be handy to have a right click feature from within Overdrive Pro when in the main tree called "Show in Room", and it takes you to the room where the product resides. Similar to how Windows Explorer can take you to where a file resides when doingError Decrypting Data
Does anyone else have or have had this problem? It is happening very often to all of us who use microvellum in the company. Does anyone know why it happens? how can it be solved? this error happens when I save the project and when I try to open it again"FOUNDATION LIBRARY" DRAWING STANDARDS used for "Submittal" through "Singed Contract"
I am attempting to change how the dims in Plan & Elevation, for the "Mitered End Panel can be adjusted to what I want. I was able to simply delete, in "Parts Properties", the dims showing in Plan & Elevation. This process does not work the same with theSheet Goods Kit
Is there a way currently to have material "kit" that when processed it returns 3 materials? Face laminate, Core Material, Back Laminate. So far I can not find or figure out how to accomplish this within the software. If anyone has done this or is currentlyRoutes for countertop bolts
What is the process to have routes go into the bottom of tops for sex bolts automatically?"Foundation" Backsplash Height
I would like to set my backsplash for a project at 8". Where in "Advanced Project Setup" is it located?Disassociated hinges
When drawing (3d) a base 2door 2 drawer cabinet, my hinges are showing red (disassociated). Digging into the issue, it appears that the Hinge distance from side prompt is blank. IN the part properties for the subassembly I have a #NAME? value. DiggingActivation
Does any one else have to put in activation codes (serial & pass) everytime they start MV? Only in the last week the activation splash window pops up everytime I start MV 2023. Never had this issue before...Edgeband Symbol on Product Label Image
An "X" is used on the part image to denote an edge to receive banding regardless of edge type or color. Is it possible to use a different symbol per edge type?MVPARTSLISTREVIEW
Would be great if this was a typable command! - MVPARTSLISTREVIEWAny Upcoming Analyzer Developments??
Just curious if there are any upcoming plans for further development of the Solid Model Analyzer. I've been running into some odd analyzations that I can't figure out why it analyzed the way it did. These analyzations end up requiring manual modificationsMaterial Pointer Report
Is there a stock report that will tell me what materials are assigned to pointers? I want to use it to compare to a main report in excel.I made a quick video of some highlights from the latest build updates
I would love to hear your thoughts, and if this is helpful I may try and do this every few months. MV Toolbox Release Notes Reviewcount
Hello Guys i havnt upgraded to toolbox 2023 yet question is what version of autocad does it run as i would like to know if the count command is in this version so i can use it for my title block to count all my hardwares and populate it in a table i knowFoundation Library: Changing Door Style
How, in the foundation do you make changes individually and as a Project change? Also where do you change the drawer rails width to be less than the rails of a door? I.E. from 2.5" to 1.25" Thanks in advance.Ideas for something different
Hi everyone, I have a problem and could use some ideas. I have a handy calculator (not a typical product calculator) that uses a series of lookup tables. The calculator takes a single long string of text, then breaks it down in Prompts and Values, aroundWood drawer box machining
We are currently running MV Toolbox 2021, and we are struggling with the wood drawer box from the library. The smaller drawer boxes, 150 or less in height, will not show as dado & screw, whereas the large and medium drawers on the same cabinet will. TheDelete Imperial Scale default
I'm revisiting using the 2D drawing option in MV but I have a problem when using the 2d drawing tool where it adds multiple imperial scales to the drawing. It then defaults to the imperial scale instead of metric scale for each viewport. In the back ofNew Toolbox Release Available Today! | Build 23.1.0407.641

Hi, Our shop is relatively new, we are also new to MV and are just starting to explore what Microvellum can do. That being said, our main workhorse in the shop is an SCM sliding saw. I use the Saw Optimizer on MV to generate the cut lists for the shopFeature 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
I'm struggling with adding 2d plan tokens that follow the shape of a part. For example, a mitered front or back edge of an end panel. I can most likely figure it out by adding the lines and a bunch of if/and/or statements looking at various prompts, butQ & A Drop-In-Session from 4/7

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
Here goes a shot in the dark, Is there any chance that MV would create a video on how to properly customize the CUI, and breakdown the parts that it would take to make OEM MV function the way that users would like it to function?
