    Setting view scale precision

    Thanks for your help. The dimension style precision doesn't change the view scale precision, either in either pop-up (DE and drawing face selection). I tried inches 256 which showed nearest 1/2", and decimal 6 places which shows one place on drawing face and two places in Design Explorer...

    Setting view scale precision

    Where can I set drawing view precision? I'm trying to overlay an assembly view exactly over an image in a drawing, and need to make a fine adjustment to the scale. I get different behaviour depending on whether I select "Scale" in the drawing face or the Design Explorer - see attached images...

    Max: Is there an Alibre guideline for optimizing GPU settings?

    Export to STL (V23) will only export in MM

    When working in inches, I export in inches from Alibre Design and use Barbarian Units (https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/nallath/BarbarianPlugin) in Cura.

    Global Parameters

    Agreed. I've put this in the V23 request thread, and the "suggest a feature" tool. The whole UI around dimensions and GPs needs a shake-up. I live in hope...

    v23 - Request Thread

    Please bear in mind that this is based on V21: 1. Equation Editor and equation entry widget poor usability - missing information (type, comment) and functionality in table; no "intellisense" in creating equations; copy/paste an equation to create a new equation also pastes the name and value...

    Constraint Dialog Proposal v2 - Interactive Demo

    Could the "Assembly Constraints" pop-up be made scaleable by clicking and dragging on the right border, and then auto-scale the width of the input fields in "Options/Offset" and "Options/Limits" please?

    Constraint Dialog wishlist

    Please increase the width of the Offset text box. It's fine for "D1+D2" but not helpful for "myGlobalParameter1 + myGlobalParameter2".

    physical properties

    Lew - According to our friend Mr. Newton, F=m*a. For the same force, if you have 1/12 the value of a, you need 12 times the value of m. Therefore, 12 * 1 slug = 1 slinch.

    Global parameters and excel add-in improvement?

    Hi Stefan. Just a list against the parameter name. Ideally, just the addition of "comments" and "type" to the table as in the OP above. There's certainly enough width available in the table. regards, Mark
