Recently, I needed to import a part file that was initially created in Solid Works and exported as a step-formatted file. After assigning the appropriate material (Al6061) from the materials library, I attempted to calculate the physical properties, whereupon Alibre returned all zeros for the...

Thanks Simon! I agree, this needs fixing ASAP.

Is anyone else experiencing memory leaks running the latest version? I see evidence for these on my machine when after closing the program & opening task manager, an Alibre process shows as running with a big chunk (several GB) of RAM associated. manually ending the process therein releases...

A further update: after multiple attempts, I was able to create my sketches. To get there, I had to avoid dimensioning or locking down entities prior to selecting them as intersection constraints to locate additional sketch construction points, whereas in 2019 I don't recall having to do that...

Certainly not today, as I am finding I cannot create even a simple 2D sketch (not tied to a part instance) with constraints applied without seeing either bizarre behavior (constraining a point at the intersection of two existing lines deletes one of the lines) or else the "inconsistent sketch"...

1. If it helps you manage the development cadence and minimize incidence of BUGS, then I'm all for it. 2. A naming convention containing either: a root designation based on the year of release (i.e. 2020.1, 2020.2...etc.) OR version numbering Major.minor (i.e. V19.0, 19.1...etc.) would be simple...

G'day all: I have opened as support ticket for an issue I am having where the latest AD throws an exception, then crashes when I attempt to create a 2D drawing of a relatively simple assembly; I thought I would post here in case any others have experienced similar issues since installing AD...

Ah yes, the smell of ammonia in the morning.... smells like... Sonny Liston's uppercut...

Thanks to all who responded. Will try a few of these ideas myself and report back. Scott

Running Win7 64 bit Geomagic 2013, I find i can no longer use the windows file extension association tool to map any file extension that is not exclusively designated as an Alibre design file type, example I cannot map *.stp or *.step files to automatically load using Geomagic 2013. Running as...

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D !

I have long observed the same problem in exporting from Alibre to Solidworks. Spherical surface profiles seem especially prone to generating weird entities when sucked into SW; sometimes turning off all automatically healing, stitching and bitching (uh I meant to type "checking") can help, but...

Re: Thanks Miles: Unfortunately, after following the link to Alex Franke's site, the download page for the point importer utility appears to be broken (page not found). Hopefuly this will prove to be a transient problem, as the...

I tried searching the forum archives for answers related to my question, but for some reason, the searches always end with a blank white screen, so hopefully, my first query to this forum won't tread on a well-worn path. Basically, I would like to create a 2D sketch from about 100 X,Y pairs...
