Publish to PDF. I'm using the built-in PDF writer. That's what we've had the best results with. I also switched the view to both shaded and standard and it exported fine in both cases but it just doesn't show up on the PDF if it's draft.
Edit: As a side-note, the standard view showing hidden...
Yes, I agree, generally you want the design dimension to be the same as what's shown in the drawing. I'm really not sure why the drawing I'm being asked to make requires a non-symmetrical tolerance, but it does. If I adjust the dimension, it messes with other dimensions so that's not a great...
In a 2D drawing, I'm displaying all measurements with dual dimensions (mm & in). When I set a tolerance on the primary, it is properly converted to the tolerance on the alternate dimension. However, if I override the dimension value, it does not get converted in the alternate dimension.
For...
Thanks again for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean with construction entities vs sketch geometry. Is it because I used "project to sketch" and have the lines "maintain association to source entity"?
Never mind; I realized that the lines in the sketch were projected as reference lines...
I want to create a loft from a rectangular surface with rounded corners to an "obround shape" directly above it. The only way I can even get it to create a loft is with the following options:
Note that it doesn't matter if "simplify surface" is checked or not.
Here's the twisted result I'm...
It's great to see that there is a constraint capability to run round gears. However, I have a drawing where I need to constrain two linear gears to a round one (like how an expandable dining room table works). Is there a way to do this in Alibre? If not, I was wondering if there's a...
Wow. Thanks a ton! I could have sworn that I tried that but I think I only tried it when Specify Tangent was checked on one or both of the sketches.
Edit (follow-up): Now that you got it working for me, it doesn't appear to make a difference whether Simplify surface is checked or not. I...
I'm having trouble getting a nice loft from a rounded rectangle to an oval shape. I tried this earlier with a rounded square to a circle and it worked perfect. I've tried the various options letting Alibre create the loft from the surface to the sketch but the edges won't turn out right. I...
