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...

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...

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...

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...

I'm working on a rather large assembly that is broken into a number of different folders. I created a multi sheet assembly drawing of one of the sub assemblies with an associated BOM. I accidentally saved it to the wrong folder, so my question is what is the best way to get it saved to the...

When calculating K Factor, is the "bend radius" the actual formed radius on the part, or the the tip radius of the punch? Thanks, Dave

I have an assembly that I'm doing an assembly drawing of, included in this assembly are some parts and sub-assemblies that I have hidden in my drawing. Is there a way to have these hidden items not show up in the BOM when I create it? Thanks, Dave

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas why I occasionally get this error. I usually have to bite the bullet and loose all my changes and close Alibre with out saving my work. I can have multiple part files open I only get the error on one of them?

Hi Guys I need to model a piece of flat bar 1/2" X 1/8" with a 1/4 twist in it; this is part of a larger bracket that I'm working on. I'm thinking that I can do it with a loft but when I tried I didn't get the results that I wanted. The long sides of one sketch got lofted to the short sides of...

Can anyone tell me what causes some or all of the dimensions on an existing drawing to turn red? Is there a way to fix them without deleting them and replacing them? Thanks, Dave
