    Just fired up Ver 25 for the first time and noticed that when looking through my drawing folders to find drawing files, the preview picture of the selected drawing file is represented as a generic ico and not the actual drawing.

    What is the correct working version of Alibre?

    I am currently running V23 (23036). Is this the released update replacing V22 or is it still a Beta version of V23?. I see posts referencing the latest release V23 however my splash screen reflects V23 Beta. My registration information reflects V23 (23036) as if it is not a Beta version... I'm...

    Cam follower path constraint

    There was talk at one time about being able to constrain a cam follower to a specific path. I would like to see a constraint that would allow a follower to track a cam lobe, a slot or groove produced by using the "sweep command".
