    Alibre Python shell addon source code and installer

    You posted while I was still typing I think I know what it does but it definitely needs a "Getting Started" manual with detailed instructions on what it does, why we should use it, what the differences are and when to use one or the other, starting it, what NEEDS to be included and what is...

    Drawing - how to dimension from middle of line to middle of arc (SOLVED)

    Updated Utilities (V2.1) with Rack and Pinion feature now in resources

    There is an issue with the Gleason bevel gear option. I ran the 20/40 set it defaults to and it worked but then I used 13/51 and the pinion has no flats on the tooth face. The crown seems ok though. 13 is the smallest standard pinion tooth count for Gleason

    Red dimensions in drawings - again.....

    1 Using the section tool drops you into draw mode for the line as soon as you select the view to be sectioned. In fact, if you select the view and then the section tool, then you are ready to draw the line. 2 For tangent points, normally the theoretical intersection tool does all I need. Unless...
