Automatically adjust border routing depths when moving parts between compositions
I think it would be very useful for border routing depth to automatically adjust to match the composition thickness. When moving parts between compositions of different thickness in the nest composite I have not found a good way to make this correctionVERTICAL DRILLING
i am trying to set up a single vertical drill in one of our tool slots the we use as a 'flex' or utility tool, (i.e. when there is need for a certain tool). our machines have a drill head that can only use up to a 1/4" bit so i need to set up anotherAssigning Materials to Layers before using SMA
Having trouble with SMA not recognizing materials that I've assigned to layers of my Autocad Model before analyzing. Wondering if this feature been removed in the most recent patch? I've been using it for a few months now, but this is the first time sinceFind & Replace
I did a Find & Replace All in Library Designer and I found a few in the G Workbook that where not changed. Curious as to why the few in G did not change. Find: Tick Replace: CheckNon-Associative "Dado" Machine Tokens

Hi, So I have been trying to adjust the drilling pattern for the fronts as they are slight different to that of the HK. What is the Drilling associated too and how can I access that data to change it. I have written a simple program to just drillFoundation "Master"
James, I downloaded your part 6 of "Spread Sheets" and would like to know if your instructions will allow for the product to inherit "parametric capabilities.? I built this in Foundation" using "pick corners". for sub insert's. It was built at 48" wideQuestion about an observation - Foundation Materials
Out of curiosity, in the M workbook, I noticed that there are two lookup tables and in the component library there are no lookup tables. Why is that the case?Work order part sorting
In a recent build, part sorting in the work order window has been broken (it worked in the past) In split flow processing, we send various parts to different processing stations within the same work order. Example we would sort by say Material Name ASC,Changing depth of border routes in the nest composite
I am curious to see how other users change the depth of border routes in the nest when moving parts to a thicker material. If, for example, I have a small filler that is released to come out of a 3/4" PL1-PL1 layup but have room for the part on a 1" PL1-PL1SETTING UP A DRILL IN THE TOOLFILE
hopefully someone can help. i need to set up a drill in a router collet so it can straight plunge for random holes. the drill head contains the max bit sizes and this particular bit is not recommended for that head. so my question is ... how to get theShaker Door Perfect Corner
There will be a simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it! The Perfect Corner routes on pocketed shaker doors are fine when viewed in 2D, but when nested, the Z value of the route changes to the depth of the main polyline (no ramped corners).Cabinet numbers gone crazy
I've only recently upgraded to foundation library so I'm not sure if this is just normal, but I'm unsure of how to fix/what's going on. See Below: Is it meant to look like this? And then when it's put into paper space it grabs the right scale cabinetREGEDIT FORMAT
I notice a difference within "REGEDIT", MV Structure. Are we now able to export and import? Or has it always been the case an I just never noticed it!Tool Path Tracking
Something I have been missing for years is a report that has the totals the tools have cut. I had a software package years ago that would print out a report on how many inches each tool was actually in the cut, and how many inches of index moves it hadSMA Default layers

in the draw part in 2d section , how do I change the border route and routing to match a new size. This is without using the corner notch option. I can get my panel to cut but the routing path but the CNC is still following the original part size.Flipped 2d edit part

Does anyone know if the foundation library has updated the face frame openings are able to use the vertical and horizontal opening subassemblies yet? I know we can add them to the inside but not to the face of the case.Association with walls

It's late in the day, but I can't find a reference for this anywhere. Not sure if the .dwg should be in the Router Bits or the Profiles folder in MV Data. Guessing profiles, but neither seem to work, with or without the ".dwg" on the end of the name.Toolbox - automatic update
