    Drawing a parabola

    As posted a wile back in "Tools & Tips" I don't know if Alex's "Point Import Wizard" works in V12? Generating points for import Postby mkent on Sun Oct 26, 2008 8:14 pm I found a nice graphing program that will let you generate a curve of any math function. You can define the extents and...

    Overide Layer Line Features

    This function has been changed somewhat in V12 and I can no longer change a selected line width. Would someone please confirm this. I submitted a report but no answer yet.

    V12 Rocks !

    The new lighting is very nice but the "visible edges" needs to be turned off in "View", "Display"; just click "Shaded"

    Sounds like a big leap forward. Alibre is the best value by far. Congrats to the team!

    Vista or XP ??

    Microsoft is working hard on the next POS due to the universal bad-mouthing (and lack of sales) of vista. The code name is Windows7 I think. Hopefully it will only be a pos and not a POS. You would be wise to wait. :D

    Incorrect B-spline translation from 3D to 2D

    I noticed a "dog leg" in the B-spline curve when I produced a 2D drawing from a 3D part. The curve is a parabola imported with "Point Import Wizard". It looks good in the 3D sketch but has a definite hitch in 2D. I tried several times with the same result. I am running V11 on vista. I have...

    Tips and Tricks:

    Generating points for import I found a nice graphing program that will let you generate a curve of any math function. You can define the extents and the increments for the curve and a list of points will be generated in .csv format or others. The points can then be brought into Alex's "Point...
