How to draw opposite front of corner cabinet in 2D?
I have a corner cabinet inserted into a room and rotated 90°. When I draw the cabinet in 2D for the elevation, I am only able to get the one face. How do I draw the opposite face for the adjoining wall?Nesting Optimization Report Grain Direction

I am trying to figure out the easiest way of changing the depth of a routing in the CNC nests, specifically when the route has a ramp-in. I can change the depth of a route by reassigning a tool using the "2D MACHINING TOOLS" toolbox but I loose the ramp,Nesting Parts with Consistent Veneer "Flame" Direction
When nesting on veneered sheet goods cabinet parts, especially sides, the mirrored components will often not have a consistent orientation. This can result in one side being "flame" up and the opposite side being "flame" down. Having a way to designateReport not reporting correct height.
The Report is not reporting the correct height for bar back panels. It is taking the overall height of 1000mm which is listed in the cut list, and it is removing the toe kick height.

I know there was a similar post back on the old MV help website that had quite a few followers, but I thought I'd bring it up again. It would be really helpful to have a way for MV to automatically select the correct bit when a drill hole goes through the material vs when it doesn't without having to do a workaround. Several users, including us here at Stevens, have been "tricking" the program using different diameters (8.0 vs 8.1) or similar, but it would be nice not to have to do that. PleaseBlock attributes

In the Processing Center screen could the functionality to change the material of an individual part row be added? The modify work order screen for adding material size and changing material name has been very useful but I was wondering if Microvellum could go one step further with this functionality. My thought was a drop down arrow for each part in the material name column that would allow a user to select a different material for an individual row. The dropdown would only show material of exactlyFeature Request - Ability to edit the part quantity that is processed in a workorder batch

Hi guys, we are moving to the BSB asap but there are still a few project going on OEM and (of course) we've missed the downloading window (20/07) for the latest build (Build 25.1.0616.641).

The hatch for material on 2D sections using the MV material file for particle board is significantly different in BSB than OEM. In my opinion it is currently unusable in its default state on sections that utilize a drawing scale of 1" = 1' as shown in"F.D.M." (Formula Driven Material)
