Update and Edits at the Machine
How does everyone handle updates at the machine / out on the shop floor??? Do you have a MV terminal at the machine to allow edit in work orders / composite? Right now all rework, re-nest, change in stock size or running from drop sizes ... all the work

Sliding doors - Hafele System
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten the Slido F Line 21 to work? We've got everything added into the LookUpTables and it seems to jive but won't draw the extruded top rails. Mainly went through and copied everything from the Hettich setup but it is a double
Disabling Pocketing on DXF's
Hey ya'll, Does anyone know if it's possible to disable the automatic pocketing passes for DXF's produced through MV? Using a tool that's diameter is smaller than half the width of the pocket, MV automatically adds some additional passes so ensure the
Removing 1" inner drawer spacer.
Good morning Microvellum community, I would like some ideas on how to remove the appearance and machining of the 1" spacer for inner drawers, but keep the 1" value intact for ordering the inner drawers correctly. Foundation Library 23.0810 Build 23.1.811.641
Is anyone printing labels in the shop for items that are getting worked?
I want to print labels for subassembly parts that travel throughout the shop, getting built and ultimately ending up at assemble. A few examples would be printing drawer box labels that get used after drawers are built, 5pc doors after they are built
Drafting Tab - CutParts Name
Does anyone know where the control for the Product Prompts "CutParts Name" text placement in 2D Elevations might be? I don't see it anywhere in the 46.2 CCL Library. RCL

FEATURE REQUEST - HWR Array in 2 Directions
Since you can array in both X and Y on a bore token, it would be great if the same thing could be done with the HWR array token. It would help us out a lot for things like z-clips, standoffs, etc, to be able to use a single token to product a grid of hardware. Please let me know if this exists and I am not aware.
FEATURE REQUEST: move 2D Tokens onto their own tab (not with Prompts)
I'm sure this would be a big undertaking, but it would be helpful if the 2D Drawing Tokens (and Virtual Routes, etc) were not on the "Prompts" tab. When moving prompts around, it can be cumbersome to make sure that you are not messing up any of the stuff
Cam Locks
Could you recommend a good cam lock for this application? Currently using CompX Stock Locks Cam Locks but want to find one that is included in Microvellum. Thanks in advance!
Perfect graining forced on in component subassemblies
Foundation library components have a hard-coded value in the part graining when it should be pulling from the parent. Perfect Grain container is currently "#1" It should be "=IFERROR(INDIRECT(PARENTNAME("Perfect_Grain_Container")),"None")"

Anyone else getting theses types of errors more and more consistently lately? Seems to be fine for days and then we just go through a string of errors that all seem to be related to the work order creation.

Labels automatically print when processing
We are just working into the foundation library and whenever I process a job it automatically prints the labels, any ideas on how to turn this off? I'm glad the printer didn't have too much paper in it the first time but have since switch to PDF as default
ONLINE CABINET DESIGNING - Exploring the Feasibility
Hi guys, I've been thinking about why cabinet ordering can't be as seamless as e-commerce – you know, where users place orders online, and factories kick in to help produce customized pieces. Imagine users having the freedom to choose assembly, delivery,
Text Override

Include all routes for part optimization (to avoid collision during a nest)
The biggest culprit for this issue in my company is when we use our 45° miter bit, it will have a collision radius of 19mm when it's cutting 19mm deep. 3/4" one and done gap will be too large to have on a regular basis, and we only miter a few parts in
Drawer box slide based on size of drawer
I have a project that requires a heavier duty slide if the drawer box is over a certain width or height. This means that a heavy duty slide and a light duty slide could be used in the same cabinet. The heavy duty slide is thicker than the light duty slide
Saw Optimization
We are purchasing a new Homag saw, and I'm considering dropping Cutrite and just directly sending code to the controller from MV. Is anyone doing this? How is the yield you're getting compared to Cutrite? I checked a few years back, and couldn't get
Saw Patterns - Flipped Sheets
We run a split flow process (patterns processed between beam saw vs. nesting), fed from an automated panel management system. Often times, same work order will run multiple batches, some materials (with machining) to nest, and those without machining

Exiting Options window causes 10+ Seconds Delay
Hi, We have a weird problem with a new server update and was wondering if anyone else had heard of this. When we click Toolbox Setup->Options and close the Options Window, we cannot interface with any of the microvellum buttons for about 10 seconds. I
2D hardware drawing in 2D Editor UI
How do you turn off 2D hardware drawings in 2D Editor? I don't have any hardware drawing in the 2D Editor UI currently. Yesterday I updated a machine token to a hinge that I've never used before. Now it's drawing a 2D representation of that hardware in
Add a AUTOCAD Dynamic Block to a Dynamic Product Image with DRAWBLOCK
I'm trying to insert a Dynamic Block with linear stretches to our Dynamic Product Images. Its a set of scaled dimensions for use on the Isometric image. I can get other blocks to show up, but not this one... Do Dynamic Blocks not work here with the Flatshot

2D Dimensioned DXF image too light to see on reports
We'd like to use the Dimensioned WMF (2D DXF image) on our reports. However, when we do so, they show up so light that they are barely visible. No matter what layers/lineweights I assign in the template, it doesn't affect the resulting image. On some
