Moving parts on composite
I spend a considerable amount of time improving nests. Moving/rotating parts, Ive updated our build, now the "rotate part" comand prompts me to choose a base point and angle, i can see why this might be usefull but i wish i could turn this off or revert
FEATURE REQUEST - stand alone tablet program for product assembly line
Our shop is transitioning from using moziak to using microvellum. The engineering portion of microvellum is much better. But where moizak shines is with their paperless shop application. Our company was sold on microvellum being able to do everything
Elevation Section Across a wall
I apologize if this has already been covered, but I couldn't see this anywhere. Currently there isn't an option to create an elevation section for all the cabinets across a wall - at least as far as I can tell. It would be great if you were able to do
Draw Products Favorites Tab
I feel like I am spending more time than I'd like navigating through the draw MV products tabs and drop downs to find the products I use pretty regularly, seems like it wouldn't be all that difficult to have an additional tab on the left that you can

Component Cabinet Library vs Foundation Library Positives and Negatives
Looking for some feedback on the positives and negatives when changing from the component cabinet library to the foundation library. One of my main concerns is that in the foundation library the carcass parts are no longer in a subassembly and are just

New and still learning Toolbox. I am making solid modeled die walls, using sheet material that I copied to project level and modified. When I process the work order, Toolbox is telling me that it couldn't process those parts because they are out of stock

tool/part clash on composite
I may be living in dreamland here but.......when moving parts on the nest (almost every job) to get a better yield, due to some of our parts being different sizes by a few MM, and human error, its very easy to missplace some parts when selecting what

Unexpected Machining pattern in vertical rail.
The spacing for the dowels and screw holes in the vertical rail is not in the correct location. There should be only one dowel and one screw per side, however two for each are displayed. How do I remove the second pair of holes?
Micromanager Upgrades - Annotations on Nests
In the Q1 Roadmap session today it was mentioned that annotations made in the composite nest drawing had been improved. I believe it would be a great idea to improve Micromanager so that these annotations would show up on the screen. We don't print out
Feature Request - Drawing/Machine Only Option In 2D Editor
It would be great if we could apply a drawing only / machining only / both value inside the 2D editor when applying the shape so that when the part gets redrawn, we can have a token for a finish size shape that is for drawing purposes only and a token
Feature Request: Top and Bottom Nailer Z Offsets

Feature request: Scrap optimisation
In the new optimiser the "smallest X" and "smallest Y" feature disappeared. The byproduct of this old feature was to get a usable part on the less optimised sheet (usually the last sheet of a given material). It would be great to have the option to maximize
Nesting Parts with Consistent Veneer "Flame" Direction
When nesting on veneered sheet goods cabinet parts, especially sides, the mirrored components will often not have a consistent orientation. This can result in one side being "flame" up and the opposite side being "flame" down. Having a way to designate
Using Microvellum Remotely ( Azure Cloud, RDP, SQL, Remote Workforce / employees, Cloud based SQL Servers,

Draw 2D Part - Wrong Scale

Feature Request - 2D Elev Token WYSIWYG
I would love if there was a way to have the 2D Drawing instructions have an option to instead of just a rectangle show for example cutouts. Right now, if I have a door they I add a cutout to, that doesn't draw in the 2d elevation and I have to manually
Breaking Composite/Laid-Up Material into Parts
Is there any way to separate a composite/laid-up material into the separate parts of the core material and the plastic laminates for each side when processing a work order? For example, 0.6875MDF.000_Wht Liner_8844-WB would need to break down into a sheet

Removable drawer inserts option
One of our jobs has requested 1/4" inserts in our drawers. Does microvellium have something built in for this? Have looked but didn't see anything that stood out to me. We are wondering whether we just need to make our own subassembly. thank you in

Missing sink apron
I was surprised that the 2 door sink cabinet doesn't have a sink apron. How would one add it ? I tried the "Add Top Facia" but this reduced the door height by the facia width, and the apron should be behind the doors not flush with the face of the d
Dimensions not showing
I am in the process of setting up toolbox BSB and I can not get dimensions to show in front view or side views, only top view. When I dimension the side view it shows in the top view.
Finished End Reveal Condition / Library Designer
Hi All, I am looking for some input. We have a condition that on a left or right finished end, our reveal = 0. My best guess is to use library designer to update all of our products with this: Current (Product Prompt > Face Options) Left reveal =IF(G!Hinge_Institutional=1,Thickness_Left_Side-G!Door_Overlay_Institutional_Hinge,IF(OR(AND(Left_Applied_End=1,G!FE_Flush_To_Door_Face=1),AND(Left_Filler_Width>0,G!Fillers_Flush_With_Faces=1)),G!Inset_Door_Drawer_Reveal,G!Default_Door_Drawer_Reveal))
Missing Material Files

No nc code for solid analyzer created part
HI, I drew an object with cad in a project. Extruded it to 3/4 thick. And ran it thru solid analyzer. And then drew it in 2d to look at the machining. Processed it but it didn't create an nc code. What am i missing? Object 1.04 is the part.
Filter the list of Component Pullouts
Right now there are Pullouts and Pullouts behind doors. This was done since some pullouts need to be attached to the door, and some don't. When you look at the list of Pullouts for each category, they are both the same. This should not be this way.
3d analyze issue
Does anybody know why a standard 3d extruded product would analyze with extra parts that are 1/8" thick? here are my settings....it draws all the parts fine but adds extras at the end of the construction path.
OEM Toolbox smart layer manager keeps popping up on screen #1
I would like it to stay on screen #2 but each time it wants me to select a part it moves. Any ideas? Im using a VPN and rdp with the settings set for using 2 of my 3 screens. Wonder if there is a setting in there that might help?
