I've Been Modeling and creating some Die walls and wondering if there is a quicker way to; Create library item that is parametric for different requirements Not use Autocad to model these products and not use SMAAdding New Table to Global File Error
What would cause this error when adding a new table to the Global file? v43.4 Metric (Customized) library. Application does not support just-in-time (JIT) debugging. See the end of this message for details. ************** Exception Text **************Rear modifications
I am trying to do multiple modifications to a base cabinet and have prompts that turn off when another prompt is selected. I need help keeping all the prompts so that I can choose multiple items.Toe notch back and finish side - Base cabinet
I want to add a toe notch on the side of the base cabinets on a finished end without having to create a separate base assembly. When I choose the option "cabinet notched ends with recessed fin ends," it holds the finished end up but doesn't give me anyInvisible Fasteners for custom drawer front
Hi all, I'm looking for ideas on how best to attach this drawer front.Toolbox OEM 2022 Microvellum menu/panel
Our shop is moving some of our Toolbox AC licenses over to Toolbox OEM and one issue our users are pointing out is that when the Microvellum menu/panel (MVTB7) is docked, you cannot close it or set it to auto-hide. You can only auto-hide if it is un-dockedDimension offset from the wall length
Hello guys, I'm trying to modify this offset from the wall dimension (I want to decrease this gap), but I'm not finding the filed to do this, I'm sending the picture below: I already tried the "Walls Setup", "Product Drawing Setup" and also the "ShopRANGETOSTRING works for rows (not just columns)
I was under the impression this function could work both directions, but I can't seem to get it to return anything other than a column's worth of data in a string. I tried a horizontal row and a full grid, but only ever get what is in the first column.FEATURE REQUEST: "Sister" materials within Scrap manager
I believe nearly all MV libraries are set up with two separate 1 sided materials, one for face 5, and one for face 6. When it comes to a scrap panel it would be great if you could have it used for either material, instead of only the one. It would requireOld Version Downloads
A couple guys at my old employer (WS) wanted to look at MV again- they were on support until 2019 and so the last license they have is for 2019 tool box. It is still working fine on the workstations it was installed on- but these guys would like to tryWaterfall end countertops
Curious how you guys are handling waterfall end countertops made from solid surface materials. The stock out of the box solution from Microvellum leaves a lot to be desired as it does not address any type of mitered nosings etc. For example, if I amProfiled Doors
Does anyone know how to add in a different profiled door. We don't produce the vinyl doors but would just be great to be able to show renders with the correct profile on the door. I am looking at getting the Calcutta Design from Polytec added in3D Polyline Path for Routing
Hello! I am looking to figure out how to make a 3D polyline path that would be able to make profile edges on tops or other parts. It appears that this would be possible to do with some combination of multiple polyline route tokens, but is there a waySet Position of Associative Dowel Holes on Different Thickness Material
Hi, I am running into a weird issue where i cant assign the thickess/position of my associative dowel token. I want to add dowels to a fixed shelf thats 1" thick but it will only offset 3/8" from face 5 instead of centering on the material. Is there aBreaking Arcs into Quadrants When Processing...
I'm sure it's a simple change and I know this is a common issue ... just don't know where to change this. But we are getting some incorrect programs and need to break arc segments into quadrants (90° max ... vs 180° or larger arc segments. Wasn't everVideo Training Request - Sheet Set Manager
We would like to see a specific training video and a walk through from Microvellum on creating and using Sheet Set Manager through the OEM version of AutoCAD. Currently we have our room and drawing template setup to draw 15-20 rooms or more per CADUpdating Composite and Publishing GCode
When I go to update a composite file and run update existing or create a new work order from the drawing it will complete, but it does not automatically copy it to our network directory, it will stay within the SQL server's folders. I have been copyingSMA Solid Model Analyzer Dados
Hello, I am looking for a way to get Dados to cut like this using SMA. Overlapping Dados I will draw my panel, ribs, & rails. (the rails and ribs will be butted against each other) I will then SUBTRACT them (1/8" Deep) from the panel and replace them.Work Order LinkID
Hi I have been ask to find a way if possible to modify how the work order is created EX: If we add 5 identical panels, the work order create 5 differents LinkID If we add a panel with the Qty 5. The work order create one unique LinkID If we scan theSubassembly Filler Return Machining
Hi . See attached. The Return filler is doing a pocket instead of a route. The formula has no option for a 'Route5'. Am I missing something? I reckon it should be the following formula...or similar. Machine Token =IF(L_Shape_Filler=1,"PLINE5","")FEATURE REQUEST - Import Materials to Project level
Hi. It would be great if we could import materials via the spreadsheet into a project rather than into the library. ThanksAB Material Upside Designation for CNC Operator
Our operators would like to know what side is up for AB materials (Sheets with different finishes or backer). At this point in time we have been marking the paperwork by hand, but is there a way to enable them to know which side is up for face 5 and 6SMA - Colored Models
When I analyze solid models all is good, but all of the lines turn the same color. Is there a way to preserve colors? It gets a bit confusing looking at a blob of lines that are all brown.MV Bookshelf - April 2022: "The Toyota Way" by Jeffrey Liker
Another month, another book! Seems like we're on a lean manufacturing kick. We had The Goal back in December, DevOps last month, and now, by popular vote, The Toyota Way! Can't wait to get started on this book! (FYI, there is a second edition to thisHelp Text and Possibly Image Improvements
This has been said before by myself and others but it sure would be nice if the help text could word wrap and not disappear. Ever since it was changed to the bubble from the original red text at the bottom that stuck, it has been a nuisance for longerFEATURE REQUEST: The Ability to double click for on-screen measurement when using the calculator
I often find myself trying to double click in the calculator fields through the product prompts to take a particular measurement from screen and then allow the calculator to calculate the remaining values, unfortunately double clicking in this particularChanging Product Numbers in Product List
I have a project with approximately 45 rooms. I am processing the rooms to get material quantities and I have 2 different Specification Groups.

Investing in machine technology can be an overwhelming and nerve-racking process. No one wants to make the wrong investment and purchase a solution that doesn't meet the needs of the company. But where does a company start when beginning research intoWhat Printer to buy?
We have recently installed MV and we are are now looking to buy a printer to set up next to our CNC machine for labelling. Any suggestions on what make or model printer that you guys have purchased that would be a good option for us to purchase?Perfect Grain Container
Can someone tell me what's that. In a Tall cabinet, the doors won't go in the nesting. I hjave a nessage telling me that the Perfect Grain Container is too large for the sheet size. Why?Foundation Library Formula mistake

We are currently using a version of the "Draw Box List Report" that also shows the hardware for the drawer slides. As we progress I want to be able to add more information to the report. But to be able to do that I would like to cut down on some ofFont used for tags and dims when inserting a product
I am trying to create a new template for our company and I want to cut down on the styles of text in the template, but still retain control over the look of the tags when a product is inserted. How does MV determine which style of text is used for dimensionsConverting acadlt 2_D drawing to MV
I have a project drawn ( plans & elevations) in AcadLT and would like to add the MV products on the same drawing file. I started a project and a room but am unsure how to add the AcadLT drawing (including all the layout tabs) into the MV environmenTrigonometry Help
I'm trying to create a formula to find the Hypontenuse, given the Adacent Length, and the angle. I can solve this in real life, but can't figure out how to put this into MV. The textbook answer is the Hypontenuse length = (Adjacent Length/Cosine ofAllow Prompts to Appear on Multiple Tabs
For select prompts, it would be helpful to show the same prompt on multiple tabs. e.g. A checkbox to enable addition prompts on another tab. On the second, enabled tab, I would like the option to uncheck the checkbox and remove the tab. e.g. I offenCoat hooks, hardware
I was watching a couple of Microvellum videos regarding inserting hardware as a subassembly. One particular video was inserting a coat hook into a cabinet. In that video it showed a pretty long list of hardware items in the subassemblies list. LinkAdd Part - Multi-Pass CNC Cut
