I've come by long experience to know better when companies call their licensing schemes "perpetual" or permanent in any way, so I guess this is no surprise. As of the server decommissioning next month, Alibre has chosen to also remove the ability to generate licenses for existing copies of the...

Further, as I had this issue last night, if you need to deactivate a license remotely, you must call support and beg them to do it. And they cannot release *a* license, they can only release *all* licenses, as they apparently can't tell what license is associated with each computer. So you'll...

Yeah, it's always someone else's problem, right? In my case it happens with the same part on three different machines, all with wildly different video drivers and chipsets. The same issue. And why are the same faces still missing when I export to .bip for KeyShot?

The attached is a pencil model, the body and "paint" are generated with GD. When I regenerate the part, some of the fillets are disappearing. Why is this?

I could swear I tried all the possible settings. I'll have another look when I'm back at that machine in the morning. Thanks

Did that. Ended up with a part where fillets and secondary features where default color, but the body itself was that yellow. Are you seeing the issue if you pull it into an assembly?

I've been noticing more and more little buggy things recently. This one has to do with part color. The attached part changes color when I pull it into an assembly. Original part color, etc. don't have anything to do with it. No matter what I do to the colors it always pulls into an assembly...

It's a Win7 thing, apparently. It's been going around for the last three or so versions of Alibre/GM. Pain in the neck, but thanks to third party software it's fixable. Seems like it should be pretty easy to fix within the software, though.

The "open with" bug that's been hanging around for at least two years? I just installed the "new" GM and lost my file associations in Windows.

Alibre/Geomagic has had horrible garbage collection for the last several releases, and appears to be getting worse.

I have just created a subreddit for Geomagic: http://www.reddit.com/r/Geomagic/ Feel free to head over there and join up & subscribe. Getting a reddit account doesn't even require an email address, and is pretty easy to use. It can be another way to communicate and learn, and stay in touch...

I'm not in any hurry personally. The "upgraded" functionality doesn't apply to me really.

I'm waiting to hear from Sales, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Reading the "What's New" doc, pretty much all of the updates are geared towards 3D printing, mesh imports, and scanning. As expected, it seems the software is slowly becoming a front end for 3D printers. No more mechanical...

Yeah. I'm noticing it says only two installs. I've been grandfathered to three in the past (down from my original five). I wonder if I'll continue to be grandfathered in.

Just got an email: Thank you for your purchase or renewal from 3D Systems. Includes a link t GM version 16, looks like. Is this a release?
