Toolbox Update Coming on February 3, 2020

We are pleased to announce that the update for Toolbox, Build 20.1.0203.641, will be available as a Controlled Release beginning February 3, 2020. This update includes several new features, stability improvements, and other modifications.




Users with a current Support & Maintenance Subscription will be able to request access to the update and participate in Microvellum’s new White Glove program, a service designed to help users successfully install, test, and validate the update. This White Glove service will be available at no additional cost for the duration of the Controlled Release stage. Additional information about the White Glove program will be available later this week.

Highlights of the upcoming release:

Toolbox 2020
  • Toolbox 2020 is packed with new features and improvements to help you streamline your design, drafting, and engineering. Learn more about Toolbox 2020.
AutoCAD 2020
  • Pair your Toolbox software with AutoCAD® 2020 and gain access to improved workflows for desktop, web and mobile devices, faster performance, and other new features. Learn about AutoCAD 2020.
Office Furniture
  • Do you build office furniture? Ever thought of expanding your business? We can help! In this latest software update, we’ve added compatibility for our new office furniture library. This library features a broad collection of manufacture-ready furniture items that can be configured to meet your design and construction standards.
  • To learn more about this library or to get a demonstration, please contact your Account Manager.
Reporting Tools
  • Having the right information at the right time is essential for maintaining an efficient workflow in your shop.  So we developed an automated solution to help users streamline the process of producing department-specific reports.
  • Using our new Report Groups feature, you can now pre-define the reports needed for each department, assign the destination, and simultaneously generate the reports when processing projects.
Solid Model Analyzation
  • We’ve made some advancements within our Solid Model Analyzer to improve the accuracy of 3D model analyzation, the speed, and recognition of specific joint types such as mortise and tenon.
Project Costing
  • Creating project estimates can be stressful but producing them without really knowing your true costs is even worse. We’ve updated the workflow and cost reports to help you get better results with our project costing tools.
Work Orders
  • Accessing the work order creation UI is now 8x faster.
Drawings
  • You’ll experience significant improvement when it comes to drawing speeds within Toolbox. Not only will Toolbox draw entities faster, but it will also save your drawings in less time.
  • If you work in 2D and 3D, we’ve even enhanced the sync between 2D plans, elevations, and sections with the 3D models.

Database Management
  • We’ve made significant improvements to the workflows and capabilities of our Database Management Utilities UI to enable our users with control and flexibility when working with project data.
Nesting
  • If you’re using True Shape Nesting, we’ve made some changes to improve the speed and overall performance of the optimizer.
