LightWorks Image Contest Hey Folks, These are some cool renderings. We are going to mention this in the upcoming newsletter, but I thought I'd give you all a head start. LightWork Design (the people who bring us LightWorks which is the engine for...

Reverse engineering, lots of points and Alibre Design Hi Deelip, We've had this discussion about point clouds and such with a few other vendors over the last few years and we just haven't prioritized handling this type of data up to now. Our reference points are intended as entities...

EULA disallows license transfer Hi Folks, Sorry to put a damper on this discussion, but our End User License Agreement ("EULA") was updated with V10 to disallow transferring a license of Alibre Design. For reference, here is the operative clause from the EULA...

.NET plans and V10 Hi All, I felt I should post here and also link this post to my previous one on V10 and our plans for the server. First, sorry for the inconvenience you are experiencing. Counter to a sentiment expressed in the thread, we do...

An update on V10....(continued) Productivity and Ease of Use -- things that “make you faster” other than pure performance: - Direct Editing providing the ability to quickly edit/simplify models imported from other systems (or generate models from scratch) using...

An update on V10... Hi All, I wanted to respond to some of the requests for a status on V10, both what we’re planning on including and also the timing of the release. First, the top priority for V10 is based directly on user feedback. This was to...

Thanks for following this stuff guys. I was delinquent for a while pursuing some other things. I will try to be more regular on it. The post on Franco's blog on Novedge and my current post might have some redundancy in terms of the strategic message, but I have found that you just have to...

Hi Dale, Sorry you are experience some issues with v9.2. As Ron said, regarding parts disappearing in PDF files, we saw some similar behavior with some 7.0.X versions of Acrobat Reader. These issues occured with files from various sources, not just Alibe Design, and we reported them to...

Folks, I saw this thread and felt I should reply. It does appear we may have dropped the ball on communicating the availability of the new training CDs and following up with some to whom they were promised. I apologize for this and to those who were inconvenienced. I am pulling together...

All, Thanks for the lively discussion on this topic, but Michael and I discussed this and we want to continue to log and track all issues requiring a direct response from Alibre via our standard support process rather than using the forum for that purpose. I don't want to discourage the...

Hi MT, I apologize for the problems you have experienced, but especially for the fact that we have in any way given you the impression we are not concerned with ease of use or listening to your feedback. We take customer feedback extremely seriously, so we're already discussing steps to...

Jamie, Try this and let me know if it also corrects the issue you are seeing. Maximize the window, then go to the Window menu and choose Split View. Choose any combination of horizontal, vertical or both, and then go back top none. -Greg

Hi Mike, Thanks very much for the feedback, it is very much appreciated. The 2D drawings message has been heard, and we had actually prioritized it and initiated a project on it before the last release. I can't stress enough the importance we are placing on this. The effort we are...

Don't worry, we're optimizing. We're just not going to plunge a lot of resources into pursuing "very large" assemblies; 1,000+ parts is not what I consider "very large," large maybe, but not "very large." Granted even this is far larger than those with which most users typically work. I...

All, We want everyone on the latest version for all the reasons you guys raised. Xpress is not going away and the 3D PDF stuff is not intended to replace it, but it will sure be cool in its own right. Gordon...you hit the nail on the head. The issue is purely operational, and not so much...
