Better way to add multiple machine tokens?
I'm developing a few products that require a large number of machine tokens per part. I find the part properties interface more effective than the spreadsheet when checking for errors but am limited to the approximately 85 tokens using this interface.Where is this coming from?
I am editing / customizing the cross section for a base 1 drawer microwave cabinet and cannot for the life of me find out where the microwave outline is coming from in the section view. I looked in the subassembly file and did not see it. Can someoneTall cabinet doors not showing in plan view
I noticed that the tall cabinet doors are not showing for me in plan view. When looking at the spreadsheets, I see this formula in the finished faces subassembly prompts (foundation library 22.1.307.641). =IF(AND(Bay_Position>59,Bay_Position<67),"DRAWRECTANGLE",0)Dispatch Report

how hard would it be to number the rows in the parts list when working in 2d drawing? currently if a part is on row 73(example) you have to count down the rows to update the part. very time consuming and inefficient.July's virtual events

Im trying to place a formula inside the machine point. =IF(OR(Bay_Position>59,Bay_Position<68),3,3M) The syntax is correct as it will return 3, but does not like 3M. Is it not possible to mirror a machine point using a formula? Foundation Library 21Better way to manage project exports
It would be great if Microvellum could get a better interface for managing projects. At the moment we need to export projects then confirm it has been exported then remove it/them from the list. As this is a two-stage process it is very easy to miss aMicrovellum Drafter

Is there a limit to the number of Machine tokens to a Part in the latest version? I'm developing a product and recall previously there was a limit. In the past I'd make a more complicated Polyline to account for limited tokens. Is there a preferred methodMulti Pass Tools
I have a question about setting up multi pass/step tools. If I'm using multiple tools, which feed and speed configurations are being used on the individual passes? The ones in the 900 tool, or the ones for the tool I'm adding to the multi tool?Microvellum Event Recodings

When using Part Properties in this particular file it throws an error when trying to use the Origin and Rotation Tab. It occurs with any of the cabinets I have made and modified. I am not sure how to correct this error and I do not intend to start over.2D wire pulls not showing up
The wire pulls native to the library ( Foundation 22_0317) aren't drawing on 2D drawings. The "rods" and knobs draw just fine. I've looked at the tokens, DRAWBLOCK is there, all parameters look correct, and I've been through the dwg's in factory data.Offset Polyline Errors
I'm getting incorrect results from the Offsetpolyline function. It works fine without arcs but with arcs I'm getting a variety of errors. See images, the magenta line is what it should be doing. I've confirmed the issue by reducing the offset amount graduallySlide Boring
I'm building a custom dresser and I have a drawer stack next to a cubby unit. The slide boring isn't showing up in my cubby side. I know there is a list somewhere in MV that has a list of names of parts that the slide boring is associated with. Does anyoneLink Distance Between Parts to Material or Tool
I'm sure it must have been asked before but it is it possible to associate the Distance Between Parts with the Material in the same way as Sheet Sizes and Trims are set? Or link it to the Tool Number? As the diameter and offsets dictate this amount.Include all scales in my annotative dimensions
Here is my problem. We use annotative dimensioning. When I do the dims in model space it only includes the one scale that is current.

I'm curious to know what processes you're using when it comes to creating shop drawings. Are you strictly using Microvellum to draw plans, elevations, and sections?
