I wanted to know if it is possible to have a more than one tool programed under the same slot for single use operations. IE tool 10 I have a 3/16" comp bit, and 1/16" bit depending on the operation.Adj Shelf Pin Slots
It would be great to have a Tick box option in Product Prompts -> 'Internal Options"' to add parametric slots for shelf pins to fit into. With the ability to adjust for the different sizes of shelf pins. Thank youToolBox 2023 ShutDown without warning

Hi There, Wondering how to set it up so the nested boarders have the machining go a bit over thickness of the material. Right now, if the material is .75" thick, the boarder will be cut at just .75" deep. I'd like the bit to go a bit deeper e.g. .752".2-Step Routing on small parts
Is there a way to setup 2-step routing on parts that fall under a specific length or width parameter?"Graphics Folder" Adding Blocks for 2D Sections
Not to sure of where to store the blocks I want to use, for 2D Sections.Small dimensions in nest/composite drawing
Hi All, How do you set up / change / make default / large dimensions for use when in the nest/composite drawing?total part quantity on work order summary
I cannot figure out how to include a total part quantity for all manufactured parts on the work order summary report. If possible, i'd like to total parts by material, and possibly by processing station as well. Does anyone know how to do this?Dado Tool Selection For SMA
Hi There, Curious does anyone know how MV determines tool selection when doing solid model analyzer? A default dado tool ( Tool #9) is set up at our global file as well as in the tool file. But when using SMA, MV picked another tool ( Tool #2) for theMV Sections
Out of curiosity, when I cut a section, is there any way that I could edit the microvellum cutting plane? Or, do I need to use acad erase and recut to section?One or multiple databases?
I am trying to get myself set up for next week, and I want to create a sandbox. My question is, would the sandbox be its own separate database or would it be mingled with all of my other data? https://community.microvellum.com/portal/en/kb/articles/How Are You Using ChatGPT for Excel Formulas and String Manipulation in Microvellum?
Hey there, Microvellum community! Let's talk about ChatGPT and Excel. Yes, you heard that right. We're bringing the AI language model into our world of cabinets and shop fittings. But here's the thing, ChatGPT can actually be pretty useful when it comesProduct prompts being overridden
Hello again, I have this problem that is driving me slightly crazy. When changing product variable from the Product Prompts screen, certain values get overridden (from a formula to a hard coded value). I think this has something to do with the productStimulsoft code
I want to add a custom VB function to a report. I can create it, but can't seem to reference it from the report itself. I know I did this a few years back, but it seems different in this version. Anyone else tried this?3D Connexion Macros
I recently purchased a cad mouse. Has anyone figured out how to optimize the macros? If so, would you please post how you have your steps and text formatted? To the masses: Do you use command strings that are formatted in tool pallets and the CUI coSwitching to Foundation Library
For anyone who has made the switch to the Foundation Library, can you tell me how your experience was? Was it an easy transition? Was it a long process? I'm just curious about what to expect if we decide to swtich over. Thank you so much!"Library Development and Maintenance"
I have heard this term used in a few Videos and would like a better understanding of its meaning and responsibilities, as they relate to the use of MV.How do I include door and drawer sizes in my Work Order report?
Hi everyone, is there a quick and easy way to include door and drawer sizes in a Work Order report? I've been trying to do it but I need help. Much appreciated if anyone could guide me through it. Thanks.. CTSUGGESTION: Recently Used Products List
Maintain a list of the say...10-15 most recently used products. Since i would imagine MOST of us use the same handful of products 90% of the time, this would save so much clicking through sub menus.Formula Driven Hardware (Pulls) - For Component Library
Is it possible to create or have a Formula Driven Hardware Pull in the Component Library (48_0)? If so has anyone done this and how would I go about getting it setup? More and more custom jobs are requesting special pulls that we don’t have in our database,Wall associations
I would like to know how would I safely remove a cabinet association from a wall. My recent workflow has changed from placing cabinets on a wall to populating an elevation, and I would like to convert current projects to such.2D Sections with no Construction Holes
I want to remove the construction holes from my 2d Cross Sections and still keep the 3d Full Machining.Product/Item Number Scaling Issue
I'm having an issue with the scaling of my product/item number. When I was putting in a cabinet I was getting a ton of different scales for my dimensions and product/item numbers *see attached* and it was a long process to go and manually change the scaleUnderstanding MV Template Layers; FOUNDATION
I have noticed in time that the layers list has grown. In the attached file I have expressed some questions, to help me better understand their purpose. I understand the purpose of "Layer Management" and would appreciate some input.Hardware Association Error
I have started a new project which is actually copied from a previous project. When I started drawing cabinets the cabinet pulls are on a layer 3D_HWRAssociationError and not in the correct location. I have attached a picture to illustrate. The job I2D_DIM layer keeps popping up
I've spent some time creating a new drawing template for our company and made sure to start from scratch and remove the years of added elements and only create new layers, text styles, dim styles, etc. The template looks good, but I noticed that whenHow many Routes can you apply to an Internal Door Profile?
The Knowledge Base article I'm linking here seems to indicate you could assign up to 15 tools for the internal door profile: But when I am in the D! Workbook or view the LookupTable from the Door Wizard, it seems to only allow for 7: Can I use the AddMachining
Hi, I just wanted to find out if anyone else is having problems with Blum Legrabox bottoms pocket cut outs, and what you may have done to work around the problem. The machining pattern has been changed for a pocket cut out in the new foundation library,Model to 2D drawings
Looking for recommended adjustments I can make in Microvellum to speed up the process of creating 2D drawings. 2D plan view and elevations seem to be pretty good using the MV tools. The section views take more time to add measurements and leaders thatDrawer slide length drop down selection - inch or mm?
Foundation library - is there a way to change the length descriptions in the drop down selection for slides so that they display in their respective lengths as sold by manufacturers? Currently when we select a slide that is sold in mm increments, theyReference Subassemblies
How do I reference a specific subassembly in the local product and even inside of a subassembly? Example: I have a subassembly called "Shelves", it has Qty, height, etc and origin information. I want to the prompts in the local to look at "depth" of theScrew Drilling Is Not Showing Up
I am trying to assemble cabinets with screws predrilled with a 3mm drill bit. I have my machining settings set to drill a pilot hole in the applied backs and also have screws drill also. Currently the only way i can get predrilled screw holes is by settingProject Variables linked to Project Wizard

When using the Associate Products to Wall the initial prompts simply says, “Select objects:”. This would help in training new users while also being more accurate and specific in the command. It would be helpful and correct if the prompt was “Select wallIs anyone using a Stream Deck in their workflow?
I just came across the Elgato Stream Deck. It's an LCD control panel that lets you automate commands. I've seen where autocad commands have been programmed to help increase drawing speed. Is anyone using one? Do you like it?FEATURE REQUEST: Create a 4-sided cutout machine token with the option of radiused corners
This machine token would get so much use I believe, if we could do away with the bulge list for a simple 4 sided cutout it would allow a simple parametric machine operation rather than quite a long vector driven formula.Next Page
