Thanks - Rookie mistake. I completed the part and then started renaming the operations. When I changed Sketch 6 to hole, I got an error. I deleted the hole and then recreated it. I get the same message. Update. I opened my saved file (Ver3 before renaming) and all looked good. Then I went...

Sketch 1 is the outline Sketch 2 is thinning the bottom part by -2 mm - Tried various options but can't get this to work. Sketch 3 is a test and it works fine. Stumped !!! Once this is right, Is there a quick way to duplicate sketch 2 on the other side ? The part is 10 mm thick with the...

I have a 'new' Yang machining center and so has been a long road in finding a path from customer models/drawings to making parts. I have for 20 years used SheetCAM and interpreted the G-Code into my South Western Industries CNC Conversational interface. Each operation I needed to do was a...

Thanks for the reply. I see there is no easy way to make it back into a solid model again. Where I'm going with this CNC machining. If I get a model and want to change a feature so my CADCAM 'sees' it correctly, now looks like I have to remake the model. The CAM package in this case will see...

I don't appear to have the remove option ? Alibre Professional V24 Can anyone remove the 4 mm hole ?

Selected one face of the pair of holes, all good, delete, whole part gone. ??

I've just received a Fusion360 file in STEP format. I'm trying to measure the distance between the center of the hole and an edge. The hole however is made of 2 x 180 degree surfaces. So I'm guessing that this is not a hole/feature like I would expect in Alibre, and, as such, can't modify it...

I have a lot of DXF working drawings I was wondering if I could copy and paste features from the DXF drawing onto surfaces of the model in Alibre.

Nothing in New Zealand or Australia. Support seems to be limited to one person in the USA for me. Do you use it ?

I've been using Sheetcam for years but need to upgrade the software with my new machine. Locally there does not seem to be too much on offer. All my work is 2 .5 D. I've looked at MeshCAM - very basic SprutCAM - such a complex interface and EZ-CAM which I like but I can't find any forums and...

I'm not sure how to start on this one. Can I create a round part from a DXF?
