    importing a DXF

    When I import a dxf file into parts its always offset. Is there a key to press so the dxf is in the center of the part model space ?

    Alibre Script - script requests

    And a way to import STL 3D print files. Properly not really a script but a function within Alibre, but this is really needed

    Alibre Script - script requests

    A script that changes a picked side to have an angle. Ie when 3D printing for casting, you usually have somewhere between 3 and 7 degree angle on the mold side to allow the cast to release from the mold. ++ for standard threads to be applied easily. Again for 3D printing

    importing step or solidworks file

    Ta SW format it is then. I haven't got SD but I'll find someone who has.

    Fixed my printer. Finally.

    Thanks for the write-up. I have noticed that a little bit of wind around the printer changes the print quality. Ie someone open a door/window at the back of the workshop or it gets windy outside. This cools down the print-head and/or material. Sensitive little things.....

    Can I create an Assemble Constraint Add On

    My understanding is that the current API's does not allow for this due to limited API's access I could be wrong as it is a while ago I looked at the API list /k

    Mouse pointer is too precise

    In the latest update, the mouse pointer in a sketch needs to be right on the line and often when clicking the mouse, the mouse/pointer moves a bit and misses the line/poit etc This is sooooooooo annoying and actually makes Alibre a pain in the b... My co-workers laughs at me when I have loud...

    Threads not exported with STL file

    as Lew said, there are standards for this. If your 3D printer has variations, you will need to accommodate that. I usually just run a tap thru after to get better final sizing. In terms of performance hit, it should be so that all threads could be turned on/off in design explorer and you can...

    Can Alibre show "fake" thread pattern on 2D drawings shaded views?

    Well, if you are 3D printing it would be most useful.
