Hey everyone, I'm not sure if MicroManager is still current or available, but I was curious to know what ERP systems other businesses are using and whether they would recommend them or not.

I'm curious, when a new version of Toolbox comes out, what are others doing to put it through it's paces and determine that it is "acceptable" to install on the remaining computers? Do you have a checklist? Or just operate it as you normally would andNest Part Grouping - Group Parts by Room
We select several Rooms when creating a Work Order. We would like to have parts sorted on nest by room number. Currently, to keep parts sorted by Room, we have to create individual nest for each room. This causes poor material utilization, as well asIncreased Control over 2D Section Layer Names
When creating a 2D section, all parts are created on the "2D_SECTION" layer name. Instead, it would be great if we could follow the 3D Draw Token Column, and use those layer names to dictate the 2D Section parts. So while all of our 3D solids have aRun Drawer Front Calculator Message

It would be great to have the ability to redraw a product/s directly showing the edging in a contrast colour to check edging requirements.

How can I active the template page which is still and it can not apply any command? "Regenerating model- caching viewports" is shown on the command.Filter Parts Toggle
Just an idea for a future update. Within design data, instead of having a dropdown for "Show all parts" and "Show Included Parts", have a toggle button that does the same thing. I'm constantly clicking the wrong one.Microvellum Draftsman/ Engineer wanted Dallas/Fort Worth area

We have a nested CNC machine. Can the software determine what tool to use based on material type when generating a nested work order?
