Thanks Harold! I think this might work I'll give a try. I can create the wave function then subtract it from a disk. That will work. Thanks again. I'd mark this "resolved" but evidently I can't do that. Cheers, Dennis

I know from my experience that Alibre will save bad or conflicting constraints. I'll watch this thread to see if you recreate it and what the circumstances are.

Think of a circular BMX track. At 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270° the profile crests. It transitions to a trough at 45°, 135°, 225°, and 315°. To complete this example the inner radius is 10 mm and the outer radius is 30 mm. I tried to sketch a similar idea. I've thought about this too long :confused...

I am suitably impressed with V22! I've seen changes while using the software as it's developed since version 8.2 in 2006, but this update has been the best I can remember.

Exciting! I had a problem updating; for some reason the program thought I had no admin rights. We add domain admins as users on local PCs and I am one of the domain admins. Don't know why it didn't recognize my rights, but I did solve it by locating the downloaded file and right-clicking and...

Orient to sketch plane shortcut is <Ctrl><Shift>Z

The callouts seem to be view sensitive.

How does the Offset Minimum & Maximum work? In what case would this be used?

Will the 'Publish to PDF' remain as it is for drawings? This is the one way I found to output a pdf file capable of being transformed into a vector (.svg) file, via Inkscape. There may be third party apps that can output vector compatible files, but I stopped looking after I realized it was a...

Please add Flexural Modulus and Flexural Strength. These metrics work as a better corollary to real world performance of polymers.

A customer wanted SVG files of a control box we build for their machines. After a lot of searching, trying different programs and website conversion tools, nothing worked. But I finally did solve it: Open the drawing in Alibre Gem (circular button at the top left) > Publish to PDF (give...

When I have seen that error, I have done a "Regenerate All" and it solved the issue.

We've been using an Ultimaker 2 for a few years now. While I'm satisfied with the performance for product development, we are looking at manufacturing specialty parts. We've examined our designs using three different vendors, Ultimaker S5 (with soluble supports), Formlab ('white', 'rigid', &...
