When editing a nest that is going to a machine with auto-labeling you currently cannot update g-code because the information has to be completely reprocessed for the labeling to work properly. This forces you to "create new g-code" which does not allowDrafting Selection Style
I am looking to change the style when I select a product or a part. (see image) At the moment it is a blue heavy line. In my old version of MV it was a dotted line. Any help would be appreciated. Best regards, TrevorSMA failure

I made a change in "Part Properties" to make a longer "Dim Line Extension" for Bay 1 and this message popped up. It did not pop up when I changed the formula for the other two bays. Just wondering what would cause it because the end result shows the formulaComponent Door: Part Properties Documentation, "FOUNDATION LIBRARY"
I have searched and can not find info on understanding the folders, the colors. If I only have a 3 Bay Master, I would like to understand which bays are used for making mods in my cross sections. Bay Positions are 87 Lift Up, 10 & 40 Upper doors and 01&30Calculators
Is it possible to create a calculator like what we have for the drawers? I am creating a product that consists of an inner wall skin with re-moveable panels. Have quite a bit of it done as to where I can size the panels, change the top and bottom marginsBlock Leaders
Is there a way to have leaders drawn with a block tag (slot, circle, hexagon, etc) in the DRAWLEADER token? Or should I use both DRAWLEADER and DRAWBLOCK tokens and have the leader ending on the block? I've looked at the token parameter descriptions inPropms for cabinet missing " Cabinet modification Options"

Hey, small Q. Does anyone know how to set the dimension style in the 2d part edit window? The current text is too small and always reverts back when I change it. CheersCan we get a project specific product library? What's the best way to duplicate customized products?
Hey everyone, Just got done with a lengthy discussion with my manager about what we should or shouldn't save to the library, and what our process for entering cabinets looks like. We work commercially and enter large amounts of cabinets through the productGrass Zargen in Foundation Library
I see these in the hardware and graphics folder, but don't see any options to select Zargen in the project or hardware wizard. Am I missing something, or is Zargen not available in the foundation? Has anyone added this? My understanding is the is likeSetting Default Spec Group?
In my current configuration I have a few different spec groups. Is there a way to set which spec group shows up as the default?Legacy Object Size Limit
With our joinery projects getting bigger and bigger, I keep getting a warning pop up about the Legacy Object Size Limit. Does anybody know if I turn off large objects support, am I going to lose any part of my plans and program? I have drawn the projectROUTEDHOLE machine token wrong route offset

I am trying to have a token than can route multiple parts at once. Is it possible? Am i the only one who could use it? Because our countertops are made from multiple parts for visual use in our sections. Sometimes we need to put a sink hole in it andProject Spec Group Edits - Suppress Prompt
Just updated to MV Build 23.0808.641 from an older build. And the first annoying thing is ... how to suppress this message? Followed up a quarter second later ... not several minutes later. Is it a feature, not an option? It's going to be super annoyingIs there a way to copy a product from one room to another WITHOUT saving it to the library?
As asked above, my microvellum has been misbehaving recently and it is freezing when I try to save a product to the library so I want to just copy or move it to another room in the same project.Collective Error - Using Update Existing Machining & GCode
Hello, I manually added spot holes using a .DXF on the side panels of a cabinet/microvellum product. I originally drew them in @ .125" DIA. I processed the Job then realized the Vertical drilling bit in the toolfile is @ .11811 (3mm). So I went into theGrass Zargen
Are the Grass Zargen sides supposed to draw in the 2 d sections views? All I get are the bottom and backs. I do not see any drawing tokens for these in the cross section instructions either. I assume they don't like other drawer slides, but wanted toAdding shelf standards to back panel of a Master Horizontal Open cabinet?
Hi, I need to add 4 Shelf Standards to this Master Horizontal OPEN cabinet, where noted. Please help me find where to enter this setting? I tried, but can't find it. Thank you kindly, CTHardware Machine Tokens Not Applying to Drawer Box
We've been trying to pre-drill through the drawer subfront for our drawer pulls. The simplest solution I could think of was to add a -pull to the drawer box subassembly, link that to our default, and set the origin to match. While attempting to do this,Machine token for multiple parts
It could be nice to have a machine token that can apply to multiple parts a a time. Maybe a token in the prompts of the product to cut a hole or a line trough all the parts. Could also be an inserted part that as the token in it (like hardwares). FirstNest Optimization & File Location "No Location Data Entered"
I was wondering how on this page to get that text field to have the path? When we scan this barcode, the file doesn't open/nothing happens on the CNC. Has anyone experienced this, or know what might be the cause? Thanks, -JamesMissing Construction Line from SMT
Yesterday, I was working on a diewall using the Solid Modeling Tools. At the end of the day, I saved my work and shut down my machine. Today, part of the diewall is missing from the drawing and I can't figure out how to get it back. The diewall consisted of two construction paths because there are two section details, both a high wall section and a low wall section. When I saved and shut down yesterday, I had one of the products unchecked in the Tree View so that it was hidden. Today, I can't restoreNew Toolbox Release Available Today: Build 23.1.0808.641

Hi, I was wondering if there are any companies out there that have added RFID labels or insertions to there production lines? Has it been cost effective?Route Token Fail
this Rout is a global prompt we set up. Its 8mm deep all the way, it has worked several times previously. on MV it shows correct, nothing has changed. but the CNC is showing a diferent path. It routes strait throuh the panel and into the spoil board.Base & Tall Cabinet Heights
At our shop all of our toe kicks are sent as their own products. Because of this in the past we've always put the height of the base & tall cabinets as the box height not including the toe kick height. Currently MV is giving the product height as baseUpdate existing machining instructions doesnt apply onion skin (double pass) to small parts?
Does anybody know what's happening here? I go into a composite file to edit a nest and move some small parts around for better yield. But, when I use "Update Existing Machining Instructions and Gcode From Drawing" both the original onion skin machiningNext Page
