Cursor Color Thanks Dana, I was surprised they were hidden. Cursor color is now back to normal. Thanks Keith

Cursor color fix / file doesn't exist Hello Max, I also wanted to revert back to the original cursor. I downloaded the file but am unable to find this location on my computer. C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Alibre Design\Lang. Is there an alternative location. I use...

Hello, I've used V12 on a complex assembly project for about a week and have found this release the best so far. I like the view transitions, the on the fly dimension inputs and the performance of 2D drafting. I was happy to see that the drafting line quality (circle tessellation) has been...

Nick, Are you sure you're activating the desire configuration of the individual part when you insert it into the assembly? The picture below shows the part configuration drop down. When working with part configurations that have changes like overall length; I make sure that all the other...

Do you mean you're having trouble dimensioning within a detail view like in the image below?

Kineoptics, I noticed that other members are also working on tubular frameworks. I've attached a couple of images of a basic tubular framework. It's created of individual pieces. I cross-sectioned the assembly. I'll attempt some using 3D sketching later.

Hello MilesH, I believe I may understand how you create your tubing connections. Are you using the Sweep Boss feature and choosing to sweep to a target geometry? That seemed to work for me. Your method is far easier than the method I was previously using. Here are some images of my attempt. I've...

Hello, If you're making minor modifications to a base part and saving each individually; you may want to use the configurations feature instead. It allows you to create a primary part and create different configurations of it. They are all saved within the single part file. You can give them...

Hello, Was the image generated in Alibre? You may get a better result if you export the drawing file as a 2004 dwg file and work with it in a program like Adobe Illustrator. That's the only way I use Alibre 2D drawings. If you don't have Illustrator you can post the Part or Drawing file and I...

Hello, Creating a timing belt was one of the most difficult models I've had to produce. I found the most difficult part was having to use the exact pitch length of a standard belt. I also had to use the tooth geometry. I knew the position and centerline distance between the pulleys but I also...

Hello Kineoptics, I've attached a couple of images. Is this the kind of model you would like to create? If I'm off the mark please indicate the changes that you need and I'll try to work on them. Keith 3dstudioproductions.com

I currently use Alibre Expert. Here is the text of the email. Don't need to Upgrade? Buy HyperShot Web (a $195 Value) for only $50 Thanks for the response Max. I'll contact sales for Hypershot HD pricing. Deckerd

I recently received an email that indicated I could purchase a Hypershot (web) license for $50. I would rather purchase Hypershot HD instead. Does anyone know if Alibre plans to offer this product. Thanks Deckerd

Hello, I downloaded and opened your file this evening and have a couple of questions. Is it correct to assume your trying to linear repeat the entire component? 128 copies on the X axis, 64 copies on the Y axis and 4 copies on the Z axis. If this is incorrect please indicate the features your...

Dan, You may want to try this. Import your DWG. On the main tool bar click Tools then Dimension Styles. The dimension styles dialogue box will open. Click on new dimension style in the upper right hand portion of the box. Give the new style a unique name such as "larger_text". In the text tab...
