Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0409.641

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 24.1.0409.641

---

Saw Delimited Processing Station

Figure 1: The Saw Delimited option in a custom processing station.

1. New options have been added to saw processing stations to allow for control over data in work orders, allow for the use of delimiters, and the ability to add prefixes and headers to output. Users should now be able to add label image name to a label.
   

Labeling Fix

1. An issue was experienced by some users with the labeling system within Toolbox, wherein the Product Labeling and Part Labeling options (which work independently of one another) were unable to function without being simultaneously enabled. Part and Product labels were thus unable to be printed without both switched on. This issue has been resolved- the Part Labels and Product Labels modules and settings should function independently of one another without issue. 

Solid Model Analyzer Border Route Fix

Figure 2: SMA routing border unable to be adjusted.

1. Some users experienced an issue with the Solid Model Analyzer, occurring when attempting to create border routes on certain parts. When creating a rectangular part in the SMA, then setting that part to the 2D Part Editor, the part would be unable to have its dimensions or values in any of its sizes changed in the part properties, due to an additional route added on top of it in the 2D part editor, to have machining applied to it. This issue has been resolved- routes should no longer have any issue with routes being unable to be adjusted or have their values changed.
   

G-Code File Name Fix

1. There was an issue found when creating G-code with a custom file name, then generating a bar code to be used with the G-code. The file names for the G-code and barcode would not match, with the barcode having a randomly generated file name, and attempting to update the file name to remedy the issue would result in the creation of a new G-code file with a new, randomly generated custom name. This issue has been resolved- G-codes with custom file names should generate barcodes with matching names. 
   

3D Drawing Fix

1. An issue was found wherein attempting to draw products drawn in 2D in 3D from the product viewer using the “Draw Selected Product(s)” button under the “Draw Selected Product” option in the Product Viewer would result in products being drawn in 3D with incorrect dimensions, rotation, position, and other aspects that made them misalign with the 2D drawing.

1. Other times, rather than drawing products in erroneous positions or with incorrect rotation, there would be an unhandled exception error.

1. These issues have been resolved- 3D drawings should now display correct dimensions when created using the "Draw Selected Product(s)" option, and the error should no longer occur. 
   

Pocketing Fix

1. There were reportedly issues occurring when creating pocketing on parts created in the Solid Model Analyzer when attempting to add a rectangular pocket to a part of a certain size. When adding in rectangular pocketing, there would sometimes be a problem wherein the pocket automatically be calculated to have too many passes for the available space. This issue has been resolved- pockets should now have an appropriate number of passes assigned without any excessive automatic calculation.
   

Face 6 Fixes

1. An issue was reported with face 6 machining, wherein multiple parts processed in batches that did not have any face 6 machining applied to them would display on work order reports as having face 6 machining. This issue has been resolved- parts without face 6 machining should no longer show as having face 6 machining on reports. 

Figure 3: Blank face 6 image on a part label.

1. There was another reported issue regarding labels and face 6 machining appearing on labels for parts that did not have any assigned. Some found that when updating their machining instruction after processing a batch (which has no face 6 machining applied on parts), their labels would change from their set parameters to instead have a blank face 6 machining image replace their expected ones. This issue has been resolved- labels should no longer display any blank face 6 images, and parts without face 6 assigned should only display the correct face on their barcode. 
   

XML Import Fix

 

Figure 4: An imported XML file with only "XML Report" in the job description.

1. An issue was reported by users reporting XML files: the imported XML file would display a blank description field in the project description. This issue has been resolved- project description should be present in imports. 
   

G-Code Fixes

1. There was a reported issue experienced by some users when attempting to update their G-code from a composite drawing, wherein the G-code would duplicate rows with empty ones. 

1. A reported issue would occur when attempting to use the “Make New” option to create new G-code from a nesting composite drawing, wherein parts in the composite would sometimes be duplicated into new rows. 

1. Both issues have been resolved- updating and creating new G-code from composite drawings should no longer cause issues with code or parts duplicating. 
   

UI Fixes

1. There was sometimes an issue when attempting to open reports from either the Toolbox or Production UI, which could cause an error. 
   

Figure 5: The pop-up dialog box displaying "DXF" on a WMF setting.

1. Some users experienced a UI issue wherein WMF images would incorrectly be referred to as DXF images by pop-ups in the UI.

1. There was sometimes an error that would occur when users attempted to use the search function of the “Draw Products” tab. 

1. All these issues have been resolved- errors should no longer occur when attempting to open reports, search in the "Draw Products" tab, and WMF and DXF images will no longer be erroneously referenced in pop-up dialog boxes. 

---

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0328.641

Fillet Token Fixes

1. Some users processed work orders with rounded parts, which should have circular borders. It was found that these products would instead be processed with only semi-circular borders and then abrupt, erroneous square borders. This issue has been resolved- rounded parts should no longer have issues forming proper borders when IRIB is enabled. 
   

1. There were reported issues with 3D representation on products that contained fillet tokens, with IRIB enabled. The product would have extra material panels that protruded through the borders of the product. This issue has been resolved- fillet tokens should now no longer create extra materials or have issues clipping through 3D representations. 
   

2 Radius Route Fix

 

1. Parts or products with 2 routes in an overlapping radius were found to sometimes have an issue that led to an incorrect shape, namely with the bulge of the line being nested or represented incorrectly. This issue has been resolved- routes that overlap should no longer have this issue with correct curvature. 
   

Part Curvature Fix

 

1. There was a reported issue the IRIB setting as it was applied to parts with curves on their edges or in their shape. When the part was processed with IRIB enabled, it was sometimes the case that the curves would disappear and be replaced with straight lines. This issue has been resolved- parts with curved borders should no longer have those borders regressing to straight ones.

Vertical and Horizontal Drilling Fixes

1. There was a reported issue within some files that utilize Toolbox’s post processor, wherein some files that were put through the post processor and imported into other programs were found to have code that incorrectly placed certain aspects (such as horizontal drilling being on the opposite side of the CAM of a part). This issue has been resolved- the post processor should no longer have this issue and horizontal drilling placement should be on the correct side relative to the CAM of a part. 

1. An issue has been reported by users, wherein vertical drilling on Vitap horizontal boring machines would have incorrectly coded edge attachment, with the vertical drilling on the top-to-bottom edge of the part being coded to attach in the wrong region. This issue has been resolved- vertical drilling should now have no issues regarding placement on Vitap horizontal boring machines. 
   

Material XData Fix

1. An issue was reported wherein materials processed would emerge from the work order with the material XData not present in the file name. This issue has been resolved- XData should now appear in file names. 
   

Flex Store Update

 

1. Within IPP settings of Toolfiles, a new output option has been added to the dropdown menu of Material Management, an option to output to a Flexstore .CSV file.
   

Session Check-in/Check-out Fixes

1. A few issues related to FLA checkouts and checkout timer have been resolved.
2. An issue with FLA session check-ins and checkouts not updating to reflect the status of an active session has been resolved.
3. An issue wherein FLA sessions that have device operation interrupted before the session end would display negative time values rather than check out has been resolved. 
4. There was a noted issue with FLA network sessions, wherein FLA licenses would sometimes activate an extra seat from an active session, leaving some concurrent users locked out of the work session without cause. This issue has been resolved- extra seats should no longer be registered as taken unless they are actively in use. 
   

Router Drill Fix

1. It was reported that some users experienced an issue with the router drill, with certain machines not having their tool composition applied by the router drill. This issue has been resolved- toolcomp should now apply to machines using router drills. 
   

Shadowline Fix

Figure 1: Shadowline shaping issue (left) and fixed (right).

1. There were reports of users experiencing issues with products having incorrectly shaped shadow lines when the Shadow Line Finger Pull setting was enabled on the product, with there being a change in shape and angle. This issue has been resolved- there should no longer be issues with the shape or dimensions of shadowlines. 
   

Hinge Machining Fix

Figure 2: Hinge routing machining applied identically.

1. An issue was reported when attempting to process L-shaped doors and swapping from bore tokens to a routed hole token in the hardware. The result was an erroneously routed and machined hinges on the doors. Both doors would have a left and right hinge route, with both doors having identical values for their hinge machining. Notedly, this issue has manifested before, but in these instances, it only manifested in hinge routing. This issue has been resolved- L-shaped doors should now have correctly applied machining and no longer have issues with routing.
   

Weeke Toolfiles Modification

Figure 3: New "Remove Lead In/Out for DXF" setting.

1. Weeke Toolfiles have had an issue resolved through modification- users utilizing Weeke Toolfiles will now need to enable the “Remove Lead In/Out for DXF” setting to ensure there is no functionality issue with leads when using rough cut offset. 

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 24.1.0312.641

---

Processing Station IDs

1. Processing stations will have IDs added to them as an option within the Toolbox UI, to better distinguish between different processing stations.

Perfect Graining Fixes

1. An issue was reported by users regarding copying materials with graining applied. Namely, when users copied a grained material with a tooling code to their project specification group, then opened the material workbook to find said material, it wouldn’t appear. The columns where the material should be placed are not populated. This issue has been resolved- materials with graining and a tooling code applied should now display correctly in the material workbook.  
   

Figure 1: Erroneous negative Z warning.

1. There was an issue found wherein users would get an error incorrectly warning them that products they had in their project would not have perfect graining apply due to the negative Z value of said products. This was despite some of the products not having perfect graining applied, as well as none having a -Z value. This issue has been resolved- parts should have their values identified properly, and the error warning should no longer appear when it is not applicable. 

1. There was a reported issue experienced by some users wherein the PTX file created from the processed batch would not display any information relating to the grain container, which would show as 0.0. This issue has been resolved- grain container values should now display properly on PTX files with all properly input values calculated. 
   

Microvellum Server Fixes

Several additional features and changes have been made to the UI of the Microvellum Server setup. 

1. Dividing lines have been added to the end of XML processing in the server event log. 

1. Microvellum Server has been modified to only restart upon processing XML files. 

1. A reported issue wherein certain errors (such as “product missing”) would not show on the event log has been resolved.

1. A sometimes-occurring issue of the server experiencing a UI based bug and crashing has been resolved. 
   

3D Representation Fixes

Figure 2: Misshapen corner issue on a product.

1. An issue wherein certain products would have issues with their cutout corners not having correct shape in their 3D representations has been resolved. Products with shapes like rounded corners should no longer run into issues of misshapen corners.  

Figure 3: Angled dado misaligned (left) and fixed (right).

1. Issues were reported by users who experienced problems with the 3D representation of products with angled dados. The products would sometimes have parts misaligned with the whole of the product. This issue has been resolved- angled dados should display the exact angle value and no longer have issues of misalignment in 3D representation. 

Figure 4: A product with a missing dado token (red).

1. There was sometimes an issue wherein products would have their dado machining disappear upon changing the values in certain prompts and redrawing the product. This issue has been resolved- dado tokens should no longer disappear from products, regardless of values changed within the product. 

 

Figure 5: Door tombstone profiles not displaying in 3D (left) and displaying post-fix (right).

1. Users reported an issue with the profiles of doors not correctly appearing in 3D. When products with certain door profiles were drawn in 3D, the drawing would not display the polylines representing the door profiles. This issue has been resolved- door profiles should display correctly in the 3D drawing.

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0306.641

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 24.1.0306.641

---

Destroy Offal Fix

Figure 1: Destroy Offal arc part issue.

There was an issue reported by users utilizing nesting with the “Destroy Offal” setting applied during processing. Specifically, users who had the setting enabled during their nesting found that certain parts (mainly parts with arcs in them) would be erroneously cut through. This issue has been resolved- parts should no longer be cut through on the nest, and the setting should apply correctly.  

Microvellum Server Fixes

1. An issue was reported within the Microvellum Server, in which users would get small parts error warnings centered around parts that were not small and should not have fallen under the “small parts” threshold. This could lead to difficulty identifying what was causing the error, as the error would only identify under the text of not fitting within the region small parts were placed. This issue has been resolved- there should no longer be issues of parts that are not small falling under that threshold. Parts that cause errors will have an accurate log of what caused the error. 
   

Figure 2: Product list issue (top) and fix (bottom).

1. In the Microvellum Server, an issue was identified when users attempted to change the sequence type in their configuration, wherein XML files would have the product numbers in the project all revert to 1.00, rather than their actual product numbers within the project. This issue has been resolved- product numbers should now be accurate even when altering sequence type. 

1. There was a noted issue of occasional sporadic crashes when attempting to launch the Microvellum Server after initially exiting it. This has been resolved- the issue should no longer occur with any frequency. 
   

FLA System Overhaul

1. FLA systems have been given an update to alter the frequency of solo servers polling for connectivity. The frequency has been set to a 10-minute period by default, with a 2-minute delay for retries upon failing to reconnect. The default warning message informing users of a loss of connectivity has been altered to reflect this change. 

Simultaneously with this overhaul:

1. An issue wherein sessions would lose their check-out status after being disconnected from the internet has been resolved. 
2. The issue with shared sessions of the software being able to be closed simultaneously across different devices has been resolved. 
3. A reported issue with the software not removing empty spaces from plugin keys and reading the numbers present in the key has been resolved.
4. A reported issue with Toolbox AutoCAD locking or being blocked from running after a disconnect from the internet has been resolved. 
5. An issue wherein the license refresh of an FLA license would report success in refreshing, even if it had failed has been resolved.

UI Fixes

 

Figure 1: Expansion issue with Function Arguments window.

1. There was a noted issue regarding the Function Arguments window in the Formula Editor: when one expanded or increased the width of the window, multiple points of the UI and a few buttons would be cut off, with only certain parts of the UI expanding with the window. This issue has been resolved- the UI should now Function Arguments window should expand properly without cutting off any windows or text. 

Figure 2: Illegal character dialog window, lacking a "Do Not Show Again" checkbox.

1. Some users encountered an issue with the software’s dialog windows: when users generate reports with illegal characters, their reports will have the characters removed without issue to ensure the report generation is not delayed. However, the dialogue box informing users of the change in characters would appear without a “Do Not Show Again” checkbox, leading to issues when multiple words with illegal characters are within a single report, with users having to click “OK” on every individual change. This issue has been resolved- a “Do Not Show Again” button has been added to the UI.  
   

Worklist File Fix

1. There was an issue reported centered around the creation of .DAT files. When users generated a .DAT file containing data from a work order, with the option to separate out G-code files by material switched off, the .DAT file would still generate separated by material, regardless. This issue has been resolved- .DAT files with G-code not separated by materials should no longer display materials in the data. 
   

Saw Processing Station XD Fields

1. Saw Optimizers have had Extended Data fields added to the Custom Info Fields list.
   

PTX Oversize Parts UI Fix

Figure 3: Exclude Oversize Parts" setting.

1. An issue with the UI of the “Exclude Oversize in PARTS_REQ” setting for the PatternExchange saw has been noted, wherein the setting would be visible regardless of one’s saw output type, when it should only appear if one is utilizing PatternExchange saws for output. This issue has been resolved- the setting should now only display if one’s output is PatternExchange. 
   

Associative Hardware Cutout Fix

1. There was a reported issue occurring with cutout tokens, wherein a cutout token would not display or machine properly on parts in a stack. This would sometimes occur in different ways, such as parts having 3D cutout representations, but no machining, or vice-versa. This issue has been resolved- Cutout machine tokens should display and machine properly on parts in a stack. 
   

---

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0219.641

Copy Product Information Fix

1. An issue has been reported by some users, who found that when attempting to copy and paste their product information by using the “Copy Product Information” option present under the “About Microvellum” screen, they would end up getting information that didn’t match their account number or software maintenance expiration date. This issue has been resolved- the information copied should now display the correct information on one’s software. 
   

Nesting Fix

1. There was a reported issue some users experienced when processing their work orders, wherein some would find that using a nest-tab Toolfile would result in their nested batch having been altered, with certain parts rotating, having sections of them cut off and erased from the sheet in their composite drawings. This issue has been resolved- this issue of parts rotating against instruction should no longer occur. 
   

DXF Edging Fix

Figure 1: DXF edgebanding issue.

1. Some users reported an issue with the representation of edgebanding within DXF drawings. After processing work orders for certain products, with DXF file creation enabled, the DXF file would incorrectly represent the specifications of edgebanding on the right side of the product. This issue has been resolved- DXF files should no longer have this issue present in the generated drawing. 
   

Custom Part Labels Fix

1. There was an issue some users would experience regarding data imported from Toolbox and into Ardis for optimization, wherein the edgebanding data on custom part labels created in Toolbox would be left empty. This issue has been resolved- data in custom part labels should no longer be lost after optimizing in Ardis. 
   

Tool Override Fix

1. An issue was reported with tool overrides on materials. When users had a tool override placed on a material, then used the “Modify Work Order” interface to attempt to remove that tool override, it would not succeed at removal. The work order would, if processed, be processed with the tool override still assigned to the material. This issue has been resolved- tool overrides should now be able to be added/removed without issue through the “Modify Work Order” interface. 
   

Work Order Lag Fix

1. Some users and clients with larger databases and libraries reported that they had experienced a noticeable degree of lag and long waits in terms of loading times when creating work orders. This issue has been resolved- load times on work order creation should no longer be extended or noticeably laggy. 

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 24.1.0213.641

---

Edgeband Thickness Fix

1. An issue was reported centered around the Edgeband thickness of products using formula driven materials from their specification groups. When products were created, then copied, then the copies had their specification group changed to one containing formula driven materials for their edgebanding, users found that the Edgeband thickness would be overridden by whichever specification group happened to have the larger Edgeband thickness. This issue has been resolved- edgeband thickness from formula driven materials should retain proper values.

Offsetpolyline Fixes

1. Some users experienced and reported an issue with the OFFSETPOLYLINE function, namely, that the function would sometimes produce inaccurately rounded measurements based on the entered values. The results were erroneous in both Imperial and Metric configurations of the software. This issue has been resolved- OFFSETPOLYLINE should now produce accurately rounded measurements when used. 

Saw Optimization Sheet Size Fix

1. There was an issue reported with the Saw Optimizer when assigning materials to stacks and having different sheet sizes for said material, wherein the program would process materials in a priority order different to that of the assigned priorities in the material file. It would sometimes also not use the proper amounts of sheets in the operation, due to this prioritization issue. This issue has been resolved, with material stacks retaining their proper priority order and the correct number of sheets in their operations.  

Part Thickness Fix

 

Figure 1: Part thickness with the single value (left) and corrected (right).

1. An issue was experienced by some users utilizing a component library. This issue would occur when one attempted to process a work order containing a part of a product with only a single value entered in the Thickness column of the part’s Design Data. This would result in an error wherein the user would be informed that there were two contrasting thickness values in the part, and the work order would thus not be able to successfully be processed. This issue has been resolved- the software should now correctly apply the thickness value correctly without issue.

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 24.1.0207.641

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 24.1.0207.641

---

3D Drawing Fixes

 

1. Users reported an issue when creating products with interior corners: sometimes, the interior corner notch would be drawn as part of a circle, being shaped incorrectly in model space. This issue has been resolved and should no longer occur- interior corner notches should now be shaped correctly and without strange alterations.
   

 

1. Some users experienced an issue with the 3D representations and 2D drawings of their products in the 2D Part Editor mismatching, with correct machining often applied, but the visuals of the machining shown in the actual 3D representation was inaccurate to the drawing. This issue has been resolved- 2D drawings converted to 3D using the 2D Part Editor and vice versa should now be displaying accurate representations.
   

 

1. Some users reported an issue with the 3D representation of quarter cabinets, with the lines of the 3D drawing failing to register collinear lines, and thus, the products would have visible clipping in the 3D drawing. This issue has been resolved- quarter cabinets should no longer have a problem with collinear lines or collision between product polylines, clipping, or visuals misrepresenting specifications. 
   

 

1. An issue was reported by users in the Component Cabinet Library, with some using the Microvellum MDF Door System finding the profile of their door would not draw on the left side when the value of “MDF Corner Radius” was altered to any other value but 0. This issue has been resolved- the profile on the left side of the MDF Door System should now draw properly, regardless of the corner radius.
   

 

1. Users reported an issue with the 3D representation of products with shelving units, such as half lapped internal shelves. The shelves would fail to display in the 3D drawing or would clip through the other borders of the product. This issue has been resolved- products with shelving units should no longer have issues with shelves failing to register or display properly in 3D drawings. 

1. Users utilizing the base front stretcher in custom products found the product would sometimes not draw in 3D correctly, despite being coded and cut correctly. This issue has been resolved- products with the base front stretcher should no longer have issues with displaying their 3D representation. 
   

 

1. Some users reported that there was an issue with the 3D representation of dovetails, with the dovetails on their drawer boxes appearing incorrect or failing to conform to their measurements unless a .01” tool was used in machining. This issue has been resolved- dovetails on drawer boxes should display properly when machined with appropriate tools, not just a .01".

 

1. There were reportedly some issues with the 3D representation of hinges in some user’s projects, with the hinges being drawn in 3D being visible through the panels of their products in the model space and renders. This issue should no longer occur.
   

 

1. An issue was reported by users with the 3D representation of camlock dowels in model space. This issue would result in the dowel inserts being separated from their holes, and has been resolved. Dowels should no longer appear broken off from their respective holes in 3D drawings. 

1. An issue was experienced by some users with the 3D representation of the dados in their corner cabinets, wherein dado machine tokens would apply incorrectly, resulting in the dado disappearing from the drawing. This issue has been resolved- dados should not recede or disappear, and dado machine tokens should apply as specified. 
   

 

1. Another issue with 3D representation of dados was reported by some users, wherein parts or components with dado tokens and dado routing applied would display incorrectly in model space.  This issue was resolved- dado tokens and dado routing should no longer have issues displaying properly within model space or 3D drawings. 

1. An issue was reported wherein 3D drawings utilizing dado tokens and assigned to cut using profile cutters would not have the 3D visual of the part be shown unless the machine token was .01 smaller than the thickness of the part. This issue has been resolved- dado tokens on parts with profile cutters assigned should no longer have an issue with appearing in 3D drawings. 
   

Flatshot Fix

 

1. An issue with flatshots not hiding certain lines and areas that are meant to be hidden by default in reports, due to the tokens not processing was reported. Users who created work orders with flatshot tokens set to be processed found that the tokens didn’t process in the drawing, leading to an incorrectly drawn flatshot. This issue was resolved, and flatshots should now have their expected lines hidden and 3D lines displaying properly. 

Factory Workbook Overhauls

 

1. The Library Update Utility tool has had an update to its dialogue box prior to using the Library Update Utility, which offers users greater clarity regarding the function of the tool in relation to the Factory Workbook. 

1. There was an issue when downloading library updates with the Library Update Utility, wherein the new, updated prompts, lookup tables, etc. would not be received within the project level Factory Workbook, only the library level one. 

1. There was an issue with the Factory Workbooks found when downloading Foundation Library cumulative updates via the Library Update Utility tool, with some users reporting that upon downloading the update, their Factory Workbook would revert to the template workbook of their previous library version, erasing any custom changes made within the workbook.

1. An issue was reported with the lack of a dedicated UI button for saving changes to a Factory Workbook when working within an SQL environment, which led to difficulties with settings and changes being reverted after a short period of time. 
   

 

1. A new permission has been added to the administrative settings within the software, under the “Projects” section: “Allow Project Factory Workbook”, which allows administrators to restrict access to the Project Factory settings. 

1. Options have been added to the Project Factory Settings to allow for the management of Factory Workbooks:

1. Enable Project Factory: Allows users to enable/disable the project Factory Workbook. If a project Factory Workbook does not exist, the default Factory Workbook is cloned.
2. Delete Project Factory: Deletes the project Factory Workbook, even if it is currently disabled.
3. Clone Default Factory: Clones the default Factory Workbook over the current project Factory Workbook.
4. Overwrite Default Factory: Overwrites the default Factory Workbook with the project Factory Workbook.
   

1. Work orders using a customized project level Factory Workbook can now be processed simultaneously with a work order that utilizes the default Factory Workbook, with the work order creation UI being altered to reflect this: projects in work orders using the project level Factory Workbook will have red text, with a legend placed on the bottom of the UI to distinguish the two. 
   

1. The Library Update Utility tool has had a section added to its selection, indicating whether Factory Workbooks should be updated as well, under the “Factory Components” section of the Library Specification Group Components to be updated.

These Factory Workbook overhauls are intended to be further expanded upon in upcoming builds.

Material Pointer Fix

1. Some users experienced an issue with material collection pointers, wherein users who assigned material collection pointers to a part, then processed a work order with that part assigned would find that the LinkID subassembly of the material collection pointer would not fully apply to the assigned part, with only certain materials carrying it over. This issue was resolved- parts with material collection pointers should no longer have difficulties or issues with LinkID or any other assigned aspect being applied as expected.

FLA Connection Fix

1. There was an issue experienced by some users wherein, sporadically throughout their Microvellum session, they would have an erroneous alert informing them that their device had disconnected from the internet, and their session had ended. This issue has been resolved- FLA sessions should no longer have this message popping up unless a session has been disconnected from the internet for an extended period. 
   

Spoil Board Unit Fix

 

Figure 1: Incorrectly rounded spoilboard penetration values.

1. There was an issue discovered and reported with router spoil board penetration while using the Imperial configuration- the issue would cause the values to incorrectly round to the decimal place, as though it were a Metric measurement. This would, for example, cause a measurement of .004 to round down to 0 rather than simply remain as a .004. This issue has been resolved- the spoiler board penetration value should now accurately match the input value. 

Center Tool Composition Fix

 

Figure 2: Arc polyline without center tool composition arrow displayed.

1. An issue was reported with the 3D representation of arc polylines, wherein some users who created arc polylines found that the arrow indicating the center of the tool composition would not appear on screen. This issue was exclusively an issue with the 3D representation, as the center compensation appeared accurately when examining the resultant composite drawings. It has been resolved- center tool compensation should now properly display when routing with a center offset has been added to an arc polyline. 
   

Module Trial License Refreshing Fix

1. Some users experienced an issue with the granting of trial modules. When users obtained a trial of a module, the trial would register correctly and enable, as intended, but upon refreshing or restarting of the software, some users found that their trial module would be disabled, the previously granted license not displaying or registered. This issue has been resolved- modules enabled for trial should retain their status as trial modules upon a software reset or refresh. 
   

Library Designer Fix

 

Figure 3: Error appearing after exiting the Library Designer UI without selecting products or subassemblies.

1. An issue was reported with the Library Designer, with users encountering an error that would occur when one entered the Library Designer, added a library, then elected to select products and subassemblies, then exited out of both the products and subassemblies UI. The software would display the error warning above. This issue has been resolved- this sequence of events should no longer result in an error, and users should be able to exit from the Library Designer UI without issue.

Face 6 Filename Fix

1. Users reported an issue with face 6 machining files, wherein after nesting a batch and examining the resultant G-code, they found that the face 6 barcode would be altered to have a filename with an extra “1” character added, leading to problems with certain machines operating, due to the maximum character limitation of 8 being exceeded with the additional “1”.  This issue has been resolved- face 6 machining files should no longer have an additional character added, eliminating any issues of invalid file names. 
   

Copied Product Name Fix

Figure 1: Copied product reverting name.

1. There was an issue occurring when users attempted to copy a product within their Product List, renamed the product or gave it different specifications, then opened their parts list, wherein the product would revert to its original name, while retaining the other new specifications. This issue has been resolved- copied parts within the product list should now retain their new names and properties without reverting.
   

Replace Product Name Modification

Figure 2: "Replace Products" name change to "Replace Product Prompts".

1. The “Replace Products” button has been deemed to cause unnecessary confusion to users by merit of its name, and as such, has been altered to “Replace Product Prompts” to reflect its function more accurately. 
   

Product/Part Comment Fix

1. Certain users utilizing part or product comments via the Custom Settings tab in a Saw Processing Station found that after processing they would show up incorrectly or missing in the output file. This issue has been resolved- product and part comments should now display separately when input into a station.  For instance, in an example with Product Comments containing "Hello|World|Test".  Product Comments would output "Hello|World|Test".  Product Comment 1 would output "Hello".  Product Comment 2 would output "World".  Product Comment 3 would output "Test".
   

Session Checkout Time Fix

1. There was a reported issue from certain users who found that their FLA based session in session management would sometimes add on an additional few minutes before the session expiration time, leading to confusion. This issue has been resolved; the FLA session timer should now accurately reflect their exact input time without issue. 

Module Trial Modification

1. There was a noted issue regarding the “About” UI of the “Help” section of Toolbox, wherein users who requested a 30-day trial module of unpurchased Toolbox modules would not have their request enabled, but rather, have a form prompted to send a request to Microvellum Support. 

1. The issue has been resolved; the system has been automated to enable the trial to begin upon request rather than being manually enabled by support. 
   

Specification Group Fix

Figure 1: Material file error crash issue.

1. Users reported an issue when opening and closing their specification groups within their material file, wherein an error would sometimes occur that caused a program crash.

1. This issue has been resolved, this error and crash should no longer occur when confirming or utilizing one’s specification groups or material file. 
   

SCM Border Routing Fix 

Figure 2: Incorrectly calculated border routing.

1. There was a reported problem wherein the Solid Model Analyzer would not create border routes with sufficient depth. The software would only calculate penetration up to the material thickness, not the standard formula of material thickness + spoilboard penetration. 

1. This issue has been resolved- border routes should calculate with correct depth using the standard formula. 
   

Beamsaw Fix

1. An issue was found with sheet size field when creating G-code with using a beamsaw Toolfile with Perfect Graining applied. When a batch was processed with this configuration, the sheet size field in the header of the resultant G-code from that specific batch would erroneously display the full sheet size when cutting parts out of the container, rather than displaying the full sheet size only during the creation of the grain container, then displaying the container size during cutting.

1. This issue has been resolved, the sheet size section in the heading should now display the full sheet size during the creation of grain containers, and the container size when cutting the container. 
   

Product Report Prompts Fix

Figure 3: ProductReportPrompt error.

1. There was a noted issue that would sometimes occur for users attempting to utilize the “ProductReportPrompts” or “SubassemblyReportPrompts” table with a custom report. When attempting to customize the report utilizing these tables, the result would be an error that would prevent users from previewing the report. 

Figure 4: New prompt message pop-up.

1. This issue has been resolved- the tables have been modified to discount any error causing prompt names or variables within them, displaying a message to prevent errors and alert users of the changes.
   

Machine Token Fixes

1. An issue was reported wherein users utilizing a polyline token in conjunction with a product or drawing with face boring applied would find that face boring would not be applied when the polyline token was active within the drawing in certain part shapes (namely, part shapes applied inside of polygons). 

1. A similar issue was noted when drawing parts with vertical drilling applied in 2D, wherein the vertical drill machining would not appear on the part unless all polyline machine tokens were removed from the part. 
   

1. Users would sometimes have an issue with machine tokens disappearing on parts with IRIB applied. 
   

 

Figure 5: Buyout machining issue (left) and resolution (right).

1. There was an issue reported when users marked certain parts of their products as Buyout using the “Is Buyout” system prompt, which, when used, should indicate that the specific part, hardware, or subassembly is to be omitted from the work order and not manufactured. Users encountering this issue would find that when marking certain hardware, components, or parts as buyout, the parts would instead fail to draw or have any machining tokens applied to them.

1. There was an issue with the “Update Machine Tokens from Template” option within the material file. Some users found that when inspecting their specification groups, and attempting to update multiple materials, either custom or in custom categories, with new hardware machine tokens, then using the “Update Machine Tokens from Template” option to apply all the new machining, only the last selected material would have the update applied to it, with the rest failing to save or register the change.
   

OEM 2024 

FLA Fixes

1. Sometimes, users who had successfully activated their software via online connection would have an error occur that locked them out of the software. 
2. There was an issue wherein users who had a software crash would be locked out of the session upon attempting to start a new session. 
3. All of these issues have been resolved- users should no longer have significant issues with session management when changing licenses, should no longer have an error occurring when activating their software, and software crashes should no longer result in users being locked out of the existing session. 

Note: When changing from an FLA to an SLA license, it is important to ensure, prior to activating your new license, that you are:

A. Not checked out on your FLA. 

B. Have a stable connection to the internet to facilitate the switch.

UI Fixes

1. There was an issue with network sessions, wherein the computer name for user computers would sometimes, when being checked out with the correct key, would display as “unknown”, leading to difficulty diagnosing issues within the session due to the lack of device information. This issue has been resolved- user devices should now display the registered device name when connected properly. 
   

Figure 1: Learn more connection issue.

1. The “Learn More” link within the splash screen at the end of the informative sentence regarding login information would reportedly lead users to a defunct webpage, leading to only the Microvellum.com homepage. This issue has been resolved- the link is now operable and will lead to an existent knowledge base article pertaining to login security. 
   

2D Drawing Fixes

Figure 2: Incorrectly sorted layer (left) and correctly sorted layer (right).

1. Some users noted an issue when creating a 2D drawing of a product part wherein a specific line on a specific section of the part was erroneously assigned to the wrong layer. This issue has been resolved- layer names for lines in a drawing should now display as different between every part.  
   

Figure 3: Product number placement issue.

1. There was a reported issue with 2D drawings wherein the product number would show in a displaced location in the .dwg, with item number prompts not being able to relocate it successfully. This issue has been resolved- item numbers should be placed properly within products, and the existing item placement prompts should maintain their degree of control over the item numbers. 
   

Figure 4: Scale issue (left) and fix (right).

1. When creating 2D section drawings with dimensioning applied, there was sometimes an issue occurring, wherein the dimensions would display incorrectly, at an incorrect location. This issue has been resolved- 2D dimensions in 2D drawings should now display correctly, in the correct positions, without issue.  
2.  When checking one’s wall setup, it was noted by some users that the dimensions for the wall were reportedly not verifying. This issue has been resolved- the dimensions should now show as being verified if verified. 

Figure 5: Incorrectly corresponding annotative scaling (top and bottom).

1. When not using annotative scaling, there was an issue wherein the text for FE and adjustable shelves would not correspond with entered values. This issue has been resolved- text should now scale correctly in correspondence with user entered values. 

Tabbing Fix

 

Figure 6: Tabbing cleanup issue (top) and fix (bottom).

1. There was a reported issue with tabbing that occurred when users utilized certain Biesse brand Toolfiles, wherein tabs that were automatically placed on parts were also assigned to be cut off the part. In these circumstances, tabs would be placed on the wrong face, and when the operation was processing, would not be cut off the part correctly, leaving a piece of tab that required manual cutting to be corrected. This issue has been resolved- tabs should now be cut off accurately and in accordance with the intended cleaning off of the part without issue. 

Figure 1: Report Groups (All Batches)

1. A new option has been added within the processing center to assist in streamlining user reports. The option Report Groups (All Batches) has been added to the processing center under the Reports section, an option that enables users to set up their reports to display multi batch report groups, if desired. This option is compatible with standard setups as well as setups using UWO databases (users will receive a warning if their batch is not compatible). 

1. An issue was reported regarding dual head machines and an error wherein they would produce face 6 machining labels, despite the file being converted to face 5 machining by default. Dual head machines are intended to only produce face 5 machining files, combining non-face 5 machining files into a singular face 5 file. However, when users attempted to generate a barcode on a face 5 file that was converted from a face 6 machining file, the barcode produced would still be face 6. 
   

1. There was an issue with the incorrect usage of router drills that was reported by users. Users without a drill bank or who set up a router drill tool while lacking a matching router drill/routing tool would have operations running incorrectly, due to not being warned or having any error dialogue occurring when routing without the necessary tool installed on their machine. Instead, the system would use their vertical drill as a routing tool, even if it was not up to the correct specifications for the operation. This issue has been resolved: if a non-matching drill bit can’t be found, the operation will be dropped by the system, and users will get a corresponding error message akin to Figure 2. 
   

1. An issue was reported wherein users had an error occurring during the creation of a work order containing products that had horizontal boring applied. Any attempt to process work orders with this issue happening would result in the horizontal boring being removed or simply not showing on the products. This issue has been resolved- horizontal boring should no longer be removed from products, and errors should no longer occur when products with horizontal boring applied are present in the work order. 
   

1. Figure 1: Tooltips overlapping issue.

   1. There was an issue within the UI when hovering over the “Remove Material Trim from Scrap”. Rather than displaying a single tooltip, the UI would display two tooltips that overlapped with one another, displaying the original tip and the most recently updated tip simultaneously. This issue has been resolved- only the most recent tooltip should now pop up if the option is hovered over. 
      

   
   

   Rebuild Subassemblies Fix
   

   1. Users reported an issue wherein projects created in previous builds of Toolbox would have an error recurring upon attempting to rebuild the project’s subassemblies. When certain older projects were imported into a newer version, an object reference error would pop up, and when modified, the subassemblies noticeably did not change when rebuilt, until all of the subassemblies in the project had been rebuilt, at which point, they updated. This issue has been resolved- subassemblies from older versions should now be able to be updated in later versions without the error occurring. 
      

   
   

   Work Order Fix
   

   Figure 2: Router drill duplication error.

   1.  There was a noted issue that occurred when users attempted to process work orders containing products that were assigned to use a router drill for drill holes. In work orders containing products with multiple quantities, drilling applied, assigned to a router drill for its drill holes, an error occurring during the processing, wherein the products would be read as duplicates and the software would register the products as the same item. This issue has been resolved, the error should no longer pop up, and the products with router drilling should properly register within the software. 

Option Pop-Ups

1. Within the Toolbox UI, the “Options” section of the software has had pop-ups added to better explain the function and purpose of each option within the software. 
   

Corner Cabinet Dado Fix

Figure 1: Dado Corner Cabinet routing issue.

Figure 2: Dado Corner Cabinet routing fix.

1. Users reported an issue when creating corner cabinets with dado construction in their projects- the dado in the upper left portion of the cabinet, when assigned to route, was not routing correctly. There was also an issue for users creating cabinets and applying dados to backs, specifically when using the “Stop Dado Thick Back” global, it was reported that sometimes, the dado would ramp incorrectly, moving diagonally. This issue also was reflected in the G-code when the product was processed. This issue has been resolved- dados should now route correctly in corner cabinets, as well as ramp correctly in backs. 
   

Change Setmill Fix

1. There was a noted issue with part borders when attempting to change the location of setmill on a route. When changing the location of setmill on a route and updating the G-code, the setmill would not move, instead placing a line break in the middle of the route (dividing it in two). This issue has been resolved- setmill should now be relocated when attempting to change the location on the part border. 
   

Perfect Graining Fixes

Figure 1: Graining across multiple products issue.

1. There was an issue with the grain of products mismatching across multiple products created near one another, leading to misaligned graining during nesting or product creation.

1. With perfect graining applied, there was sometimes an issue of the graining of parts flipping around to the wrong side of the product or being placed in the wrong direction. 
   

Figure 2: Parts with perfect graining overlapping.

1. When nesting products or parts that had perfect graining applied, there was a noted problem of parts nesting on top of one another or parts overlapping. 
   

Figure 3: Horizontal parts with grain containers labeled "too large".

1. An issue was reported wherein parts laying horizontally with grain containers would result in an error upon attempting to nest, with the grain container being declared as "too large" for the sheet. 
   

Figure 4: Perfect Grain Index issue.

1. There was a noted issue within the workbooks of some nested subassemblies, wherein the “Perfect Grain Index” formula, applied to the subassembly, would sometimes display incorrect values, sometimes displaying as a 0.
   

Figure 5: Perfect graining upper doors mismatched in nest.

1. There was a problem with Upper Cabinets with doors of different lengths and perfect graining applied would result in issues with nesting, as the doors would mismatch when processing. 
   

Figure 6: Perfect graining applied to vertically stacked cabinets.

1. There was an issue with grained doors and drawer fronts when perfect graining was applied with vertical grain on all products, wherein the cabinets that were stacked atop one another would process incorrectly in the nest, with the products being misplaced and misaligned. 

1. All of these issues have been resolved, perfect grain being enabled while running any of the operations above will no longer produce any of the errors listed.

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.1010.641

Extruded Products Fix

Figure 1: Pick Points extrusion issue.

1. There were reportedly issues occurring when using extruded products, namely, a problem of failure to register extruded products in the proper category. When creating pick points for extrusion, the option noticeably did not appear in the menu. Moreover, there was an issue wherein multiple extruded products would not be designated as extruded, only being categorized as extruded if the first product in the list was designated an extruded product, and the rest were not. There was also an issue with copying extruded products via the database explorer, wherein the copies themselves were not marked as extruded in the database. Both issues have been resolved- extruded products should no longer have problems in categorization or copying via the database manager, and the pick points option should appear in the menu as intended. 
   

PTX Oversize Option Fix

Figure 2: PTX Oversize change.

1. A recent Toolbox build added a new option for users to utilize while oversizing parts in the sawing processing station, if using a PatternExchange saw as their output type. Users reported there was an issue within this new option, wherein the values from CUTS would not be displayed in the G-code, not being present in the PARTS_REQ string. This issue has been resolved- the option has been altered so that when enabled, the PARTS_REQ and CUTS values will be equal, and when disabled, will adhere to the default of different values.

Library Update Utility Overhauls

The Library Update Utility have had several overhauls to increase the overall functionality of the features, as well as numerous fixes to issues that were reported by users. The issues resolve include:

1. A problem with the minimum size of the Resolve Duplicates window.
   
2. An issue importing extruded products, as well as the (aforementioned) disappearance of the "Pick Points for Extrusion" option. (If the product is marked as "Extruded" in the name, it will now be designated as extruded in the product database.)
3. A fix to allow for the update of existing combo box values. 
   
4. Imported materials should now be retain existing categories, rather than placed as a new category in their own individual folder. (Imported materials will now be using the Database Manager utility by default). 
   
5. Problem with Global Variables sometimes not updating with the Library Update Utility bringing in new Global Variables.
   
6. The "Restore" option not removing sheets when updating SQL Servers.
   
7. The addition of a "Delete" functionality for Library Update Utility (variables, look-up tables, etc.)

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 23.1.1003.641

Work Order Lag Fix

1. It was noted by users that there was a reoccurring issue of excessive load times when attempting to edit work orders. The issue notedly did not occur when creating work orders, only editing existing work orders, which would cause the UI to lag for longer than average timespans. This issue has been resolved- editing work orders should no longer cause this lag in the screen loading. 
   

Imperial to Metric Fix

Figure 1: Convert to Metric in Options.

1. There was a reported issue in sawing/point-to-point or nesting processes when converting values between imperial and metric measurements. When some users converted the units, they found the width and length values would come out incorrectly on the optimizer. This issue has been resolved: the conversion values should now be accurate between the two measurement systems in work orders. 
   

New Processing Option

Figure 2: Show Tooling Errors option in the Options.

1. A new global option for processing centers has been added to the “Options” in Toolbox, titled “Show Tooling Errors”. This option was added to alleviate user issues with managing different tools in different Toolfiles, as users would receive error messages informing them of missing tools from a Toolfile in every instance of processing within their stations, which slowed down the workflow of processing. This option, if disabled, will direct the system to ignore tooling errors and not send alert messages to users. If enabled, it will maintain the existing messages alerting users of errors in their tooling. 
   

The following release notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.0921.641

---

Cumulative Library Updates Fix

Figure 1: Cumulative Update issue.

1. There was a bug noted by users while attempting to download the Foundation Library’s phase 1 cumulative update and import it into their Toolbox library: the package would sometimes be declared as invalid, and thus, fail to load the update or restore any backups of one’s data. The error above would close out any further attempts to import the package through the library update utility. This issue has been resolved- the phase 1 cumulative update package should now be able to import without issue. 
   

Post Processor V-Drilling Fix

Figure 2: Object route drilling issue.

1. There was noted to be an error occurring with the base post-processor that occurred when users attempted to assign the property of an object route to sawing, horizontal drilling, or vertical drilling functions.  This error should no longer occur for users.
   

Nesting Tools Fix

1. There has been a reported issue within the Nest Tools, wherein users found that attempting to change the setmil of a part’s border would change the size of the entire part, rather than simply the setmil location, as intended. This issue has been resolved- the setmil location should be the only parameter affected by the change in location value. 
   

Ardis Toolfile Fix

1. The Ardis processing station within Toolbox was noted to have an issue wherein it did not produce r41 and STK files when work orders with associated parts in them were being processed. This issue has been resolved- the files should now generate in work orders correctly.   
   

Oversize PTX Fix

Figure 3: New PatternExchange oversize option.

1. An issue was found when using PatternExchange saws as one’s output in sawing processing stations, wherein oversized parts being cut by the saw would only cut to the standard finish amounts within G-code and on reports. This issue has been resolved- a new option has been added into the processing station when the PatternExchange saw is selected as the output option, “Exclude Oversize in PARTS_REQ”.

Part Properties UI Fixes

The Microvellum Development team noted some errors in the UI of the Part Properties console. 

Figure 1: Token copy/pasting issue after [END].

Figure 2: Token copy/pasting fixed.

1. When copying and pasting a token within the Part Properties, tokens are meant to be placed before the [END] value, as well as retain the values of the token that was copied and pasted. This was notably not the case, with tokens coming in after the [END] and being left blank, only showing up in the correct position if one closed and reopened Part Properties, though still blank. 
   

Figure 3: Bulge List formatting error.

1. Within the DRAWPOLYLINE token, the Bulge List value is listed with an incorrect formatting display for the values, displaying 0|0 instead of 0;0:, potentially leading to an issue wherein values are not read in the token due to being formatted incorrectly. 

1. Both issues have been resolved- the UI displaying the proper formatting for Bulge List has been revised and fixed and copying/pasting a token will no longer place it after the [END] value.  
   

Micromanager Fix

1. There was a problem within the Component Cabinet Library wherein the Micromanager feature would display incorrect materials in work orders after manual editing on the part of users. If users changed the materials of a product or project manually via the workbook, the change would not be reflected in the “Work Order Materials” interface, instead displaying the default template material, despite the work order correctly processing the new material. This issue has been resolved- the display of the interface should now show the manually entered material, rather than the template one. 
   

Die Walls Fix

Figure 4: L-shaped die walls shrinkage.

1. An issue was reported with the function of drawing Die Walls in an L-shape. Users who drew L-shaped die walls and placed products on them experienced a problem wherein the walls were resized to a smaller size after changing to adjust to the new product dimensions, potentially disconnecting from other walls in the 3D drawing. This issue has been resolved- users should now no longer experience any issues with resizing upon a redraw. 
   

SMA Modeling Fixes

The Solid Model Analyzer had some reported issues with 3D representation and values.

Figure 5: Solid Model Analyzer border routing issue.

Figure 6: Solid Model Analyzer border routing fix.

1. When utilizing solid modeling on certain projects or products that included border routing, users reported a problem of parts with routing separating from the rest of the product. 
   

Figure 7: Extruded panel in incorrect location.

Figure 8: Extruded panel in SMA corrected.

1. When creating extruded panels on 3D products using the Solid Model Analyzer, there was a problem wherein the extruded panels were not analyzed correctly and drawn into the product in an incorrect position. 
   

Figure 9: Studs entering the skin in Solid Modeling.

1. When drawing in polylines and assigning them as attached hardware (such as studs), there was an issue when extruding said hardware into 3D models: the attached hardware would reposition upon being drawn in 3D, sometimes even being placed inside of the product itself. 
2. All of these issues have been resolved; all were based in the same root problem and the Solid Model Analyzer based projects should no longer have them occur. 
   

Edgebanding Fix

Figure 10: Edgebanding error using Biesse PTP.

1. An issue occurred when processing certain work orders using the Biesse point-to-point Toolfile. When setting manual values on the machine origin of parts with custom edgebanding applied, the X value would calculate incorrectly on the machine token. This issue has been resolved- the value of the X axis will now remain consistent with user entered values.

Hardware Associated Machining Fix

Figure 1: ROUTEDHOLE machining issue.

Figure 2: ROUTEDHOLE issue fixed.

1. There were noted issues with ROUTEDHOLE and CUTOUT tokens, when used with associated hardware pieces- the ROUTEDHOLE token would sometimes fail to account for the relative Z position in machining, while the CUTOUT token, when applied to 2 parts stacked on top of one another, would appear in 3D drawings, but fail to appear in machining.  This issue has been resolved- both tokens should now properly display in both G-code and 3D. 

CIX Nest Base Fix

1. When creating a custom post processor with a .CIX nesting base, there was a noticeable need for custom post-processors to have variables that were not inherently present in the properties. This has been addressed- multiple different variables have been added as properties for users to customize.
   

Peanut Machining Fix

  

Figure 3: Peanut machining values issue.

Figure 4: Peanut machining fixed.

1. An issue was noted when attempting to use peanut machining during the process of machining certain products. When modifying work orders to set output paths in this pattern, the G-code would cause movement in unspecified areas in the machining, and cause parts of the G-code to disappear, with depth values specifically being altered and incorrect. This issue has been resolved- G-code values should now be unchanged when copying and modifying .cix files, and the values should display consistently and correctly. 
   

Project Data Fix

1. Users reported that an issue had occurred wherein their products were redrawing based on data from other rooms within a project, and that the database failed to adhere to any updates in the data when it came to drawing. To get the most recent data applied while redrawing the product in question, users would have to open the prompts for each individual product.  This issue has been resolved- the data displayed should now be the most recent data used within a project.
   

Toolfile Labeling Overhaul

Figure 5: New Autolabel setting.

1. Within IPP Toolfiles, the Auto Label section has had a new dropdown menu added to it, adding in the ability to select different label types. The labels listed are also present in the "General" settings of the "Options" tab. This change is intended to mitigate any unnecessary time navigating around the interface to edit one’s labels within the Toolfile. Checking the new option box “Use Specific Auto Nest Label Type” will allow select one of the label types from the menu.
   

Prompt Popup Text

Figure 6: Prompts UI name issue.

1. Within the prompts UI, it was noted that there was a significant lack of space that would lead to being unable to read the full text name of certain materials, which ran the risk of causing confusion or usage of the wrong material in the selected product, potentially causing disruptions to user workflows. To resolve this, popup text has been placed into the prompts to display the full name of the selected materials upon hovering over them.

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 23.1.0901.641

The following Release Notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.0901.641

---

Saw Oversizing Fix

Figure 1: Sawing oversize report issue.

1. There was a reported issue with selecting a part to oversize: in the saw optimization processing station, enabling an oversized part would result in an inaccurate cut part size in the resultant saw optimization report, with the report failing to account for the differences in measurement between the basic measurement and the oversized measurement. This issue has been resolved- oversizing a part should result in a correctly generated size on the report.
   

Seeing this fix will require users to update their reports to the latest version.  Check the Sawing Optimization Reports download page and import the with the Database Management feature.

Barcodes STK File Fix

Figure 2: Barcode STK issue.

1. An issue was reported wherein barcodes generated during processing would fail to generate to STK files. When processing an order utilizing an IPP Toolfile, the barcode would not generate within the resultant batches, though this noticeably did not occur when utilizing SS Toolfiles. This issue has been resolved- barcodes should now properly generate in both types of Toolfiles.
   

New Polyline Bulge Parameter

Figure 3: New DRAWPOLYLINE parameter.

1. A longstanding issue with polyline bulge values in drawing tokens has been fixed. The DRAWPOLYLINE drawing token has had a new parameter added to it to prevent an issue wherein an opposing bulge pattern from the OFFSETPOLYLINE spreadsheet function would cause errors if the two were used in conjunction. The new parameter controls polyline bulge direction, allowing users to choose between the two while keeping the direction consistent. 
   

This is considered a breaking change. See the Breaking Changes log for more details. 

Room Categories Fix

1. Users reported an issue wherein rooms would not save to categories assigned to them, but instead, after closing, revert to their original category or otherwise fail to register their new category within the interface. This issue has been resolved- rooms should remain in their set category in the interface.
   

Face 6 Mirror Imaging Fix

1. An issue was found wherein WMF images created from 2D parts that were created while the “Machine Mirror Part” setting was enabled would fail to rotate or flip face 6 2D parts, specifically failing to flip on the X axis, resulting in incorrect looking WMF files. This issue has been resolved- WMF images should now be unaffected by the "Machine Mirror Part" setting.

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 23.1.0830.641

The following Release Notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.0830.641

---

Server Log Fix

Before	After
Figure 1: MV Server Log issue.	Figure 2: MV Server Log fixed.

1. It was noted that when processing a work order using the Microvellum server, there was an issue with the server log, wherein it would not display date/time, only time. This could lead to accuracy problems when tracking actions undertaken during processing, as well as catching errors. This issue has been resolved; the server log should now display properly with the date/time generating correctly. 

Routing Fix

Figure 3: Legrabox routing issue.

Figure 4: Legrabox routing fixed.

1. There was a reported issue wherein users attempting to cut a dado route for the Blum Legrabox bottom were unable to get the set single pass route to cut completely on the machine. The issue has been resolved- the single pass dado route for cutting out this part is now fully functional.

Design Data Fixes

A handful of issues within the Edit Design Data interface were reported and have been resolved, all centered around the “Find and Replace” feature within the sheet:

Figure 5: Find and Replace missing UI features.

1. The Find and Replace feature in the interface had two options failing to display when using the assigned keyboard shortcut of CTRL+F: the Match Whole Word option and Matches Found count would seemingly fail to appear.

Figure 6: Lookin/Look In graphical error.

1. A minor grammatical error was found in the UI of the “Find and Replace” feature, which led to the combination of two words, Look In, the option which would allow users to specifically search for terms in a specific section of the data. This issue would only occur when using the “Find and Replace” button in the Edit Design Data ribbon.
   

Figure 7: Matches Found count issue.

1. There was an issue wherein the Matches Found count would fail to update the count after users typed in a new query into the “Find” field. This led to some confusion, specifically when no matches for the entered term were found, but the count erroneously displayed the same number of matches. 
   

Processing Fix

1. An issue was reported wherein the Ardis STK file, when creating barcode information for batches being processed, would only create barcodes for the first associated station in the list, not producing any for the second. The issue has been resolved- the Ardis STK file should now create barcodes for all associated processing stations. 

UI Scrolling Fix

1. There was an occasional problem within the program when manually changing options: when hovering over certain options with their cursor, some users experienced a change in settings brought on by an accidental scroll of their mouse wheel. This led to minor confusion and some slight problems in workflows. To resolve this, the program has had sections of the UI's dropdown menus, unable to be affected by the scrolling of the mouse wheel.

Toolbox Release Notes | Build 23.1.0725.641

The following Release Notes apply to Toolbox build 23.1.0725.641

---

New Nesting Optimization Settings 

Figure 1: New nesting optimizer settings.

The nesting optimizer has 2 new settings added to it: "Best Yield Preserve Grouping" and "Favor Best Fit".

1. "Best Yield Preserve Grouping" is essentially the new name for the existing "Best Yield" setting as it currently stands.
2.  The existing "Best Yield" setting has been modified to include a second pass after the finished optimization to attempt to identify ways to improve yield.
3. Within "Part Grouping", the new setting "Favor Best Fit" has been added. If enabled, this setting will feed the optimizer the parts that best fit with available open regions as optimization is performed. 

Any improvements in results with these settings will vary depending on user setup.

If one updates to this build, enables either of these settings, and then reverts to a previous Toolbox build, the processing station will not open. It is recommended to turn off these settings in a version that supports them before transitioning to any prior Toolbox version!

User Interface Fixes

1. There was a reported issue in the global file Lookup tables that caused an error if users tried creating a new table after removing rows and deleting a previous table. This issue has been resolved.
2. It was noted that within the wizard formula editor box, the FX function would experience an error with certain workflows. This issue has been resolved.  
   

Processing Station Fix  

1. It was reported that copying processing stations would cause the station to lose its associates. This has been resolved- copying stations should no longer lose associates when copied.
   

Product Prompts Fix   

There was a noted issue in the registering of information between the spreadsheet and Product Prompts interface. 

1. When the system prompt ProductAngle was entered into the prompts list of the spreadsheet, and a value was set, the value failed to register, producing no change in the angle of the product. Conversely, when the value was entered into the interface, it would populate the spreadsheet cell. This communication issue has been resolved; the prompt will now function properly both ways.

Machine Cannot Offset Routing Fixes

A number of issues have been reported involving the MCOR setting and certain routes to fail while using the new offset algorithm:

Figure 1: MCOR vector drop machining error.

Figure 2: MCOR vector drop fix.

1. When running with MCOR, stay-down and tabs enabled, vectors would sometimes be dropped on machine points. This issue has been addressed and resolved.

1. With MCOR and stay-down enabled, using the 901 tool as one's default router would fail to create certain border routes. Border routes should now be unaffected by this specific combination.
   

Figure 3: Machine points with arcs error.

1. MCOR and stay-down enabled with "Refine Offset Paths" would cause machining errors with certain machine points that contained arcs.

Figure 4: Stay-down notch Destroy Offal error.

Figure 5: Stay-down notch Destroy Offal fixed.

1. Stay-down with notches equal in width to bit diameter would result in "Destroy Offal" failing. 
2. True Shape being enabled simultaneously with MCOR and IRIB would lead to poor optimization. 
   
3. Spreadsheet tool files previously functioned differently, but will now treat MCOR the same as IPP. 

Biesse IPP Tool File Fixes

A prominent issue that has resulted in a number of smaller issues with Biesse IPP Tool files has been resolved:

Figure 6: Biesse IPP Z 0 error.

Figure 7: Biesse IPP Z 0 error fixed.

1. The last Z move of a pocket changed from a 0. This caused the bulge to be incorrectly positioned. If using incremental step tools, this change in Z value would sometimes cause the tool to penetrate the spoil board too much. This issue has been resolved.

Figure 8: Pockets ramping vectors error.

1. An issue wherein pockets would ramp vectors incorrectly, causing incorrectly machined parts has been resolved.

Include Routes In Border (IRIB) Fixes

1. Certain routes failed to qualify for IRIB when using True Shape nesting. Multiple parts have been specifically added to the IRIB function to ensure there are no longer any conflicts or failures to register: 
   

1. Parts with certain notches on the corners. 

1. Parts with 4 arcs that are close in proximity to the part border.

2. Parts with certain arcs while using True Shape.  
   

Before 23.1.0627.641	After 23.1.0627.641

Default Machine Token Update 

1. Default machine tokens contained several references and pieces of information deemed to be outdated, causing occasional errors for users attempting to utilize them with the latest versions of Toolbox. All machine and drawing tokens have been examined and updated to function properly with the latest Toolbox build. 

Tool File Values Update

1. A tolerance has been added to the system that will round certain machining values down, to the smallest precision setting in AutoCAD. Previously, it was values like “0.31495999999999996” were flagged as the smallest value available, which caused the wrong tool to be called in some cases. With the addition of the tolerance, the smallest value will consistently be set to "0.0".
   

---

Vertical Drill Machining Fix

Figure 1: Vertical Drill disappearance fix.

1. An issue was noted, which caused vertical drilling to disappear if it crossed the threshold of the prat border. This issue has now been resolved. 
   

900 Rough-Cut Offset Fix 

1. Certain 900 tools were reported to have an issue wherein manually entered rough-cut offset values didn't register within work orders being processed. This issue has been resolved.  
   

Software Configuration Fixes

Figure 2: Config infinite loop fix.

1. Resolved an issue that caused an infinite loop in the configuration/splash screen if the path to MV data was invalid, and users attempted to cancel out of the error message. Users will now be alerted and have the opportunity to fix the MV data path with a new warning pop-up (including the option to not show the warning again).
   

Figure 3: New SQL Warning Message.

1. SQL configurations with no path to MV data would previously automatically open the next working SQL configuration from the registry. A new warning message alerting users that there is no path to MV data has been implemented into the program. 

User Interface Overhauls

Figure 4: Splash screen program multi-opening fix.

An issue was reported wherein some users exiting the MV Production/MicroManager using the X on the splash screen would open the program multiple times, leading to device lag. The issue has been resolved, doing so with this update will now completely close the program.

Figure 5: Workbook cancellation fix.

An issue was reported preventing users from accessing other workbooks if one cancelled out of the currently open workbook. This issue has been resolved.

Figure 6: "?" removal.

On the Microvellum Console, the “?” button was deemed unnecessary and has thus been removed from the UI.

Figure 7: "Migrate V67 Drawing" removed.

The “Migrate V67 Drawing” option under "Other" has been removed from the UI.

Figure 8: Project Materials UI material editing.

An issue was reported wherein right-clicking in the blank space in "Project Materials" UI displayed all material editing options, requiring needless navigation on the user end through options that did not functionally do anything. This issue has been resolved- right-clicking will now only display options applicable to project material library management.

Figure 9: Unused Machine Tokens reset.

Unused machine tokens were reported to have an issue wherein a "0" would appear in place of the _Off status when reset. This issue has been resolved; unused machine tokens will now correctly reset to _Off when selected.

Figure 10: New "Microvellum Workbook Designer" link.

Within the “Help” > “About Microvellum Workbook Designer” button, a new link to a Knowledge Base article has been implemented to assist clients in need of further information.

Processing Center

Estimating

1. Modified the "Product Cost Details" command.  The Estimate Price will now access the database value for sheet stock, solid stock, buyout, edge band, and hardware materials instead of the spreadsheet value which is no longer updated.  The Estimate Price from the sheet with the highest optimization priority is used.  If there are multiple sheets with the same priority, the lowest estimate price is used.

Note: After updating, make sure to review and update your Material Estimate Pricing to ensure accurate Product Cost Details.

2D Drawing

1. Resolved an issue where hardware with a quantity of 0 would be deleted when drawing a part in 2D.
   
2. Resolved an issue where an incorrect workbook was set when deleting hardware after a Single Part Editor update.
   

Machine Tokens

1. Resolved an issue with the HWR hardware token where quantities were not being applied correctly to hardware items if the quantity of the product, part, subassembly, or nested subassembly was greater than 1. 

Processing Center

1. Modified the Load Parts by Material functionality so the grid is no longer reloaded when "Cancel" is selected from the material selection dialog.
   
2. Modified the work order creation name parameter so trailing spaces are omitted from the name before the work order is created.
   

Calculators

1. Resolved an issue where changing the Qty of Adjustable Shelves using the Shelf Spacing calculator and saving to "Subassembly Only" would save changes to the Project-Level.

7. Resolved an issue when True Shape was set above 40%, IRIB would process even when turned OFF.
   
8. Resolved the issues that were causing parts to have a slight rotation in both the 2D and nest patterns.
   
1. Important Note: With these changes, some parts may appear to be machined or rotated differently when compared to previous builds. These changes are intentional and in most cases, now correct. 
   
2. Important Note: To take advantage of the improvements that fix slightly rotated parts, you will need to reanalyze the 3D model where that originated.
   
9. Resolved issues that were degrading the accuracy of 2D part machining and nest optimization results.
   
1. Important Note : In some cases, especially when an arc is needed on a corner, you may experience and issue where IRIB cannot properly negotiate the part border polyline correctly. This is an issue that you may not experience, but if you do, please know that we are actively working to resolve it.

Report Data Processing

Modifications:

1. We have streamlined the way part image, filename, barcode, edge boring (Hbore), and edgebanding location information for labels and reports is processed to improve accuracy and efficiency. This means you will no longer need part transformation functions to accurately display data on Microvellum generated part labels and reports. After updating to build 21.1.0714.641, your existing labels and reports may need to be updated. Learn more
   

Resolutions:

1. Resolved an issue where label rotation was incorrect after updating or creating new g-code from drawing. 
   
2. Resolved an issue where label images were created with edgeband lines in the wrong position.
   
3. Resolved an issue when a perfectly square part was rotated in the initial processing of a work order, the part would not be rotated after using the Update/Create new g-code from drawing button.
   
4. Resolved an issue where a part with a machine point that was rotated did not orient horizontal drilling correctly.

Tool File UI

Modifications:

1. Moved Barbaric, Homag Woodstore, and Schelling material handling types from Auto Labeling Type to a new Material Management Type drop-down selection in the IPP settings of the Tool File user interface.
   

Edit Design Data

1. Resolved an issue where redrawing a product with Edit Design Data while having a plan view of the product would move the product incorrectly.
   
2. Resolved an issue where selecting "apply formula" in the product level prompts tab, subassemblies tab, or hardware tab of Part Properties would result in an object reference error.

Database Management Tools

1. Added a Utility to the Database Management Tools that imports materials from a spreadsheet, accommodating Hardware, Solid Stock, Edge Banding, and Sheet Stock material imports.
   
1. Click here to learn more about Create New Materials From Import File

2. Resolved issue where exporting and deleting many projects would freeze the program because it would run out of memory.  
   

2D Machining  

Resolutions:

1. Resolved issue in the Single Parts Editor where drawing a part in 2D and changing the depth of a PLINE would not be recognized as a change.
   
2. Resolved issue where routing added through the Single Parts Editor would not update the Z value list when G-Code was made from drawing to pull the correct Z values.
   
3. Resolved issue where the Single Parts Editor would not update the PLINE machine tokens correctly.
   
4. Resolved issue where a PLINE machine token using the offset parameter could not be updated from 2D back to 3D.

Library Data

Additions:

1. Added a new install file for Australia clients that will contain the latest AU library.
   

Reports & Labels

Resolutions:

1. Resolved issue where creating new nest sheets and parts in the drawing for a work order does not populate the optimization report directly.
   

Optimization  

Resolutions:

1. Resolved issue where material handling code would not show up in the Placed Sheets Table after saw optimization.  Also added handling code when creating a new sheet in 2d drawing.
   

G-Code  

Additions:

1. Added two new fields to spreadsheet tool files.  B79 is now MachinePartCutWidth and B80 is now MachinePartCutLength. These should be used in place of the others to determine the correct cut width and cut length.
   

Machine Tokens  

Additions:

1. Added new EDGEBAND token that can calculate edgebanding for non-original edges.
   
2. Added a Reference Face parameter for HDrills.  This will be populated for the CAMLOCK and EDGEARRAY tokens to identify which associated face the edge hole came from. 
   

Resolutions:

1. Resolved issue that occurred when adding a lead-in or lead-out to a route. With this now populating correctly, the machine token options parameter will now be updated correctly, and the lead-in and lead-out segment will no longer display in 3D.
   
2. Resolved issue where the BORE token would lose its formula and values for parameters 8 and 9 after drawing parts in 2D and updating the 3D model.
   
3. Resolved issue with BORE token not updated or losing parameter data after updating in Single Part Editor.  When editing an array of holes with coming from the BORE token, it will treat any modification as a new hole.  You can no longer move the end or start hole.  It will just create a new hole.
   
4. Resolved issue where copying a hole from an existing BORE token would create a copy of the machine token when updated from 2D to 3D. 
   
5. Resolved issue where using the offset vertical drill parameter for the CAMLOCK token would always work correctly and move the hole in the wrong direction.
   
6. Resolved an issue occurring when a part with a BORE token is drawn in 2D, and the associated face 5 or Face 6 holes do not get modified the token. Now the part will get updated back with the original formula values.
   
7. Resolved an issue where using Stop Dado Gap values in the DADO token would not populate the machining correctly.
   

Modifications:

1. Modified the tolerance that determines if a vertical drill hole falls off the panel.  Previously it was from the hole center plus the hole radius amount.  Note, we measure from the hole center plus 0.01. This will change the vertical drill hole for camlocks as well as other associative machining.
   

Processing  

Additions:

1. There is a new button in the processing center that allows you to select a part in the interface and then use the "Clear Select Processing Stations" button to remove specific processing stations instead of all the processing stations assigned to the selected parts.  With the button selected, another window will be displayed, allowing to select processing stations.  Multiple selections are allowed.  All the processing stations selected will be removed from the selected parts.
   

Modifications:

1. Resolved an issue where routes that ramped down the entire part where it started and stopped off the panel would not be trimmed correctly, potentially making a route that would cut into an adjacent part.
   
2. Resolved an issue where some parts were being assigned to fields that they could not fit it.
