Thanks, Nate and Albie. I learn something new, every day!:)

Thanks. I never thought that the sequence would fix it. I did get it to work another way but don't know why. I moved the history tree blue line all the way up to the first sketch and extrusion, then moved it back down to the last operation. Then I applied the fillets and incredibly, they worked!

Hello, everyone. I had some trouble applying a .02" fillet to one area of edges, but I cannot repeat this operation on the opposite side. If I pick a single corner, a different edge is filleted. If I select the rectangular area, I get an error message that says the target is no longer available...

Nice!:)

I use this feature all the time. It really comes in handy, since at times I don't need all the reference planes to be visible.

This may not be relevant with Alibre, but back when I used to use Autocad, I would use the rectangular select feature (either left or right, I can't remember) to force a sketched line to change color. I had the same problem that was discussed here but that quick movement of my mouse would tell...

The first time I created a new part or modified an existing part within the assembly, I had assumed that right-clicking in the scene would show an option for going back to the assembly and exiting the part creation/modification scene. It took me a while to find out what you describe above.

IronCAD had both kernels but I'm not sure if it still does.

Good stuff! Would curved text for internal or external extrusion be in V27? I definitely have use for it.

Typically, if the fillet is small in relation to the OD, a center mark and location is not needed. It may be possible that large radii like those in my drawing, do not need to have centers shown and dimensioned if the CAM program figures that out when it analyzes the solid model for tool paths...

Quick question: If I change the scale of my views so that they are smaller, I can no longer further separate the front and top views. What is needed to be done? Thanks. False alarm: I see that I have to click on either view in drawing explorer.

Thanks, David. For the benefit of others, I'm posting your workaround.

You are correct in that it is made from revolving a sketch. I'll send it to support. Thanks for looking at it. Dave

Yes, that would make searching, quite a bit easier.

Hello, Harold. It's for the R18 radius (actually there are two, one upper, one lower). I temporarily drew a center for the upper R18 radius. Thanks. When I right-click on the arc and select "Insert center" it creates a horizontal center line that is in the middle of the entire part shape.
