I'm running a work order that has consumed some scrap and I don't know which work order that specific scrap [including ID] originated from. It will be great if Microvellum allows me to identify which work order created the scrap materials.How does MV figure linear footage in reports?
I want to learn how MV figures footage in the reports and somehow use that information to have PLAM edging (8' lengths) added to the cut-parts that I am currently importing into CutRite. Right now I'm doing this manually if the job requires PLAM edging.Custom Assembly Report
Is there a way to filter parts or products that have a "Comment" into a unique report? Looking to create a Custom Product Detail report for products or parts that need to be built by a more knowledgeable builder in our shop. Kind of like the Product DetailLISP Routines
I would appreciate it if anyone having a working LISP routine for "REGEN" ,is willing to share. I would like to auto REGEN "DWG PROPERTIES" upon closing out of the command.Countertop edge
We manually miter fold our solid surface tops, I am in the process of figuring out how to work with tokens for drafting. I would like to have a top that has the miter fold show up and adds the length to the part for the shop. Where would I start?Creating a set of Shop Drawings from Multiple Rooms
Currently where i am working we are creating shop drawings within Microvellum, but ONLY drawing in one "room" even though there are multiple rooms for the project. We draw the entire job under one project and one room in order to utilize the Layout tabsAdd Processing Errors for Incorrect Values
In the old version of MV that we ran before upgrading to MV7, if there was an issue with a value for a part size in the parts list (ie the width field would show “VALUE!” as opposed to an actual number, usually due to a miskey when entering a product),Adding a New Hinge - Full Overlay, Half Overlay and Inset
I could not locate anything about adding a new hinge / hinge plates for FRAMELESS We sometimes have customers request Hardware Resources hinges - Example: 725 Series - 110° Well the "tab" with the overlays do not really much up to anything real well.Sheet Stock Showing on finish estimate
Suddenly on my estimates it started showing sheet stock material at the finishing part in an estimate. Here is an image from before and after. After Any ideas how to take it out?Results: Bookshelf Reading List for Q1:2023

I have a dumb question I should know, but don't. I know on a dado, pocket, or cut out the the tool's diameter is taken into account, hence a lead on a through dado so you don't have rounded corners at the edge of your part. But if I apply a machiningWall Panel Product
How do I add the color label and grain marker on the Wall Panel product for 2D Wall Elevations?Suggestion - Edit Product List Item Number for Multiple Products

Each line is assignedAdding "Property Names" to the "Template Project Properties"
I can't find documentation explaining the next step. Can anyone point me in the direction to accomplish this.Switching from OEM to full AutoCAD?
I'm considering switching from 1 seat of OEM (my seat) to Full AutoCAD with Microvellum. The main reason is getting back my ability to program and automate things (some lisp, and possibly some .net) . Other than the cost, is there any disadvantageDrawer Slide Boring
I see the associative token that bores the drawer slide holes into the cabinet side, but I don't see a token on the drawer box, drawer side, or slide (or variable to turn on a token) for boring mount holes for the slide into the drawer side. I'm in thePDF can not be imported

How do I fix these, please and thank you?How to break elevation data to product ?
I want to break the elevation data connected to product in MV. If I copy or copy selection say 5 times , all 5 copies are linked to product. Just trying to keep my elevation linked but make a copy that is not linked of that elevation .Hatch polyline settings
I want to do a pocket route in some lettering we are cutting out on our CNC and I can't seem to be able to change any settings for the hatch polyline, I would like it tighter than the automatic offset that MV is giving me. Is there a way to change thatWall panels - how do you do it?
I am going to be doing my first wall panel project in Microvellum shortly. Before I get too deep into into the project, I am wondering how others have set thier libraries up to handle this. The project consists of wall panels, soffits and colums. NonFeature Request: Report Group Output Location Name Modifiers
1. There are several options for customizing the subdirectory for the Report Group output, however there doesn't seem to be a way to include a custom file path since "\" is an illegal character. What we would like to do: %WORK_ORDER_NAME%"\Report GroupDrawer name

Hi, does anybody know of a video online of how to change the position of the labels on a A4, we run with manually putting them on, 8 per page 102 x 73 on A4, I'm wanting to lift the top 2 side by side labels by 8mm and lower the bottom 2 side by sideExcess Material
Does anyone else cut their parts oversize on a nesting cnc? I have discovered the below solution, but it only works for straight parts, not for anything that requires a curved polyline. 1. Set Edgebanding material to have a part size adjustment: MakeDrawer division dado width
How can I control the width of the dado for drawer divisions? Running library 50.3. The division material is 0.77" in thickness and the resulting dado is 1.54" which in a perfect world is correct but a little too tight. I have tried changing the dadoTapered Route from BENDING Token Not Nesting
I put a ticket in for this, but it was marked "solved" without fixing my issue, so I'm posting here... When using the tapered option on the bending token, a part draws correctly in 3D. It ALSO shows up with the correct route in the 2D Part Editor, whichReport Help
On our nesting summary, we have a column for Project Name which works fine until we process multiple different projects together and then it just shows the first (or last) name it finds. Does anyone know a way i can put a condition in so that if it detectsFeature Request: Parts List Numbering
