Processing Center Message Fix

1. An issue was reported within the Processing Center. When processing an order, there would sometimes be an issue wherein error alerts or pop-ups would not appear within the interface, but instead in the background of the program. This could lead to situations wherein users would sometimes assume the software had crashed or frozen during processing, prompting unnecessary shutdowns or closure. This issue has been resolved, and alerts should now appear directly on screen when processing work orders, as intended. 

Optimizer Change

1.  Microvellum’s Beta process for the new optimizer has concluded. With this, the Beta Optimizer has been set as the default option for optimization and will be referred to as the standard Microvellum optimizer in the future. To reflect this change, the option to use the Legacy optimizer has been changed in the interface from a drop-down menu to a checkbox. 
   

Saw Trim Value Fix

1. When processing a sawing operation using Microvellum’s current Optimizer, an issue would sometimes occur in which two values would be incorrectly controlled by a single option. When setting the value of the Leading Length of a part, it was sometimes the case that the Leading Width would be set to the same value, with the “Leading Length” option controlling both options. This issue has been resolved; the Leading Length value should no longer affect the Leading Width value. 

Label Output Fix

1. Users reported an issue with the Autolabeling setting, wherein label image files would sometimes be placed in the incorrect location. When “Shorten GCode Output Path” option is enabled, it is expected that all output files will be placed a single assigned folder location, being added to multiple newly created subfolders. Some users instead found that even with the setting enabled, new subfolders would be created for label image files. This issue has been resolved, and should no longer occur. With the setting enabled, label image files should be placed in a single folder, as intended. 

Module Access

1. In alignment with Microvellum’s new values-focused announcement on January 14th regarding changes to how Microvellum is packaged, this update provides access to all Microvellum Software Modules and features to any Microvellum user with an active subscription or current Support and Maintenance plan. This ensures full availability of tools across design, drafting, engineering, and manufacturing workflows without requiring separate module access. Users who update to this build will see the list of modules they previously purchased and which ones have been unlocked in the UI only once during the first startup of the software after updating. After the initial startup, this list will no longer appear, as all features and modules will be unlocked, removing the need for a module list. 
   

About Microvellum UI Overhaul

1. Accompanying Microvellum’s subscription model changes, the About Microvellum interface has undergone a visual change, relocating multiple options to a more linear, seamless list, as well as removed the module tracking section of the interface, due to the full integration of all Software Modules.
