User Settings (Optional)

You can change the settings for each user, helping streamline your use of the meviy platform. The settings may vary depending on which service you are using.

You can change the navigation functions assigned to the mouse buttons to better suit your CAD software, set how tapped holes are identified and customize the default settings for quote specifications for cutting services such as external shape tolerances, dimensional tolerances and hole precision. You can also set up email notifications at certain points when using the FA Mechanical Parts service.

1. Hover over your username and click [User Settings] from the User Menu.

2. Select the settings menus that you want to customize and change the settings on each menu screen.

3. Click [Save settings] to save the changes.

Menu Name Description of Settings
3D Models Operation
  • You can change the default functions assigned to the buttons and keys on your mouse and keyboard. There are pre-configured settings available tailored to the usage experience of each CAD package*.
  • *Supported CAD packages SOLIDWORKS, Siemens PLM-NX, Autodesk Inventor, iCAD SX, CATIA V5, Creo, IronCAD, Fusion360
Notification Set whether you want to receive email notifications at certain points when using the FA Mechanical Parts service.
  • When requesting a manual quote: When a manual quote is requested through the FA Mechanical Parts service
  • When the order is confirmed: When an order is confirmed via the FA Mechanical Parts service
Authority settings for part number You can set the visibility of issued part numbers and the purchase permission settings.
  • Permissions for others to view issued part numbers: If you select [Share], your projects for which a part number has been issued will be available to view by other users and will be searchable by part number.
  • Permissions for purchasing issued part numbers: If you select [Issue part numbers that can be purchased by anyone], other users will be able to purchase on the Misumi Official Web shop ( E-Catalog) the models that you create by using the issued part number.
Automatic Hole Type Recognition
  • This is a setting for the service to automatically recognize the hole type from 3D CAD data and reflect it in the quotation conditions.
  • By default, it automatically recognizes tapped holes by detecting the hole shape and ‘hole diameter’ of the model. You can set your CAD software to recognize the tapped hole more smoothly.
  • You can also change the settings to automatically recognize the hole type from the hole color.
  • *Currently, the color attribute linkage is only supported for models designed in SOLIDWORKS and iCAD SX.Furthermore, you can change the settings to automatically recognize the hole type from the CAD’s hole attribute.
  • *Currently, the hole attribute linkage is only supported for models designed in SOLIDWORKS.
