    File Transfer Question, New PC

    I guess that this has probably been beat to death here, but I have not found the answer to my question. I have a new PC and would like to copy all my Alibre work (files) from my old PC to the new one. I have probably well over a thousand files from many different projects, I can't imagine the...

    Strange Behavior When Saving STEP Files

    It is not just one file it's all of them, files from customers and anything I download from McMaster Carr. Attached is a recent one, maybe there is something in that the system doesn't like. Dave

    Strange Behavior When Saving STEP Files

    I have noticed when saving imported STEP files Alibre will blow away the first two characters of the file name and replace them with symbols when saving the part. I was wondering if anyone else is seeing this and/or what might be causing it? I have version 26 running on Windows 7, I don't recall...

    V26 scaling issue

    I'm seeing it but I'm only missing the d. I remember a few versions back I had a similar problem but it was in the upper left corner, I got so that I just ignored it. I hadn't noticed the missing d until I saw your post and checked. I do have pretty old equipment so tend to chalk things up to...

    Window 7 won't connect to server for upgrade

    Having the same issue with my HP Z600 Windows 7 Workstation. I was able to download and install it, but no success in getting it to run. Do I need to start shopping for a new PC? I have never had any issues with updates before. Dave

    Problem With New Constraint Function

    Yes, while playing around trying to get the limit constraint to work, more often that not I would hit the close button instead of the green check mark icon. My vote would be to move at least the green check mark to the bottom of the dialog, or add an apply button. Dave

    Limit Constraint Question

    Hi Guys I'm trying to constrain a pin to a slot, (see picture) nothing I have tried will make it work. I want the pin to be able to move the length of the slot. I have been successful to get the pin to stop at one end but not the other. Could someone enlighten me if this can be done, and the...

    Display Question, Ver. 21

    I have noticed with Ver. 21 the maximized window is chopped off a little bit on all four sides. I don't recall seeing this before the upgrade. It does it with both legacy display and Hoops? Any ideas? has anyone else noticed this? My display resolution (recommended for my monitor) is 1920 x...

    Hidden Lines erroneously rendered in drawing PDF export.

    You may find that if you disable Hoops, at least some of your problems will go away; the light shading seems to be related to Hoops also. I too hope that the PDF issue gets fixed. Dave

    Hidden Lines erroneously rendered in drawing PDF export.

    Are you using legacy graphics or the updated HOOPS? Dave

    Draftsight no longer free

    I still use it occasionally, mostly to open old Auto CAD files. Tired this evening and it still opened up and runs fine. Dave

    Strange Dimension Behavior?

    I have noticed this with the new version, Alibre Design™ Expert Version: 2019 64-bit [Build 20072] When working on drawings I lose the ability to edit any dimensions, when you hover over a dimension it normally turns red and you can drag it around. Or left click on it to bring up the...

    Thank you Ralf, that has solved it. I used to have it set to Detect Hardware, not sure why or how it got changed. Dave
