New to MV coming from cnc CAD and programming
Hello all! as the headline reads I recently got hired as a MV engineer but I'm VERY new to millwork. I'm coming from a metal CNC world. (fusion 360/MasterCam). I'm familiar with reading prints and views, but this software is a tad bit different from whatBuild 21.1.916.641
When using "edit multiple products" command it now defaults to edit Selected product Rows only. Not sure if there was a reason for this change but I would say if its to edit multiple products it should default to edit all products.Weird Routing
Does anyone have an idea of what's going on here? This is a single door sink base. I have R and L finished and I cam getting this weird routing on the LH end only. Its happening on one other LH end as well. I have no idea what it is and I can't get itNesting Optimization Idea
It would be really great if the optimizer could somehow try and rotate cabinet sides so the back edge of the cabinet was placed on the edge of the sheet. This way if the layup job isn't perfect, any potential gap in laminate coverage or sheet edge damageDraw2DGlassFrameDoor
Does anyone know if there is a way to control the "frame width" that is drawn when using this token? It's nice that it draws the glass lines and the frame width, but I don't see a way to control it. It seems to default to 2.5". The only thing I canEngineer manager needed on site Duluth, GA - Signing $$$

So i Created a custom subassembly from a standard wood Drawer. I changed the material to .765 Black MCP. When i Create a New Project and bring this subassembly into a new cabinet i get this error "The Material: .765 Black MCP 2S cannot be found for LeftFoundation Library - Changing 3d layers
Question 1 How do you change the layer that 3d parts/hardware are drawn on? Scenario - We want to change things such as hinges, handles, cabinet levelers, etc to draw on separate layers instead of all coming in on 3D_HWR so that we have better controlUsing part names in processing station rules
We use premade drawer parts, currently MV is sending them t the CNC because it has face 5 machining. Is there any way to filter out parts by name in the rules so my drawer sides and backs will go to the saw instead of the router? I don't want to getTake_Me_Down_The_Rabbit_Hole
In the Limelight with Lenny video he made the comment that when shipping a new library they restrain themselves to prevent alienating customers with fancy or convoluted features.

For a quick background of myself: I came from a cabinet shop in South Texas, where I started out on the shop floor assembling cabinets. In 2008, I moved up in the drafting/engineering department and eventually became the manager of the department. InHybrid Cabinetry
Am I alone in seeing a tendency towards cabinets that are a sheet stock and iron hybrid? I have attached an example and the real question is if it is possible to add the 1" x 2" iron pipe as a material into MV, and if so, how? TIA BenCopy spec group function
Hi, Is there a way to change what is ticked on or off in the copy spec group components function? I have attached a pic I only want the wizard to be ticked on. ThxThe Token BORE Parameter 8 is not valid
I added a new drawer slide and everything displays correctly. The location of the spot holes along with the DIA of the spot holes are right. This error pops up 4 times when i redraw the product, can anyone point me in the right direction to fix? "ThePart Update to correct Dimension
I have a rectangle that needs to be cut , made from a misc starter part. If I click on the edit part to add a inch to the length and hit OK , shouldn't my 3d parts also up date with the added 1" inch? This happens with pretty much with all my misc partsPerfect grain for Wall Panels
Hello, I could not find any information on how to have panels matched on custom sequence matched sheet stock. I found a video for kitchen doors. Nice, but how you do that when your container is 20'x15, spanning across multiple sheets of material thatSAW
does anyone have experience with a Giben Matic SP 90 12' Horizontal Panel Saw and how it integrates with MV? is there special software needed?Hinge plate location for dividers
Up until recently all of our face frame hinges where mounted to the face frame. It didn't matter where the hinges landed because they would be mounted in solid stock by the hardware department. Since starting inset and beaded inset face frames I needPart Labels Printing Incorrect Quantities
Hello Everybody I am having an issue where when i print my part labels, it will not have the correct quantity of labels per part. Has anyone ever ran into this problem? -Product = Wordrobe Unit -Product Quantity = 12 -Product consists of 9 parts -OnlyIterate through a string list
Considering that I have a user defined property called “Room Number” (at room or project level) that stores a list of values separated by “|”, for example: “R1|R2|R3|R4” I’m able to access the property, split it in the “|”, get each individual values:Rear Modification

Hi all, What would be the easiest way to use 25mm thick shelf instead of 16mm IF the cabinet is wider that 1000mm? I know there's probably several ways to achieve this, I'm just curious to see how users have achieved this in the past. Thanks AidanHow to copy machining from left to right?

Things I've learned: - There can be no alpha characters after the decimal (we tried that once and it crashed our stuff). - If multiple special characters are used before the decimal, MV no longer auto-generate the next item# correctly when a product isAdjusting product item number
