Listing for Engineering Assistance Using AD Below is a listing from http://www.Guru.com. I do not have the time to pursue, but figured someone here could write up a proposal if they are looking for some work. I have had limited success with getting work on this site in the...

I dumped Norton last year and switched to AVG free through recommendations in this forum and since then AD does not shut down on me. Coincidence? Not sure, I do not know enough about this stuff, but I will never go back to Norton. Mark

Please do not take offense to this post but doesn’t it say General Discussion is for: Posts include general comments and questions including those regarding how Alibre Design compares to other CAD systems. Also this quote from above kind of bothers me: “It would probably be better for...

I agree totally fitzbond, I think you will find I have never made any personal attacks on anybody in this forum. I have always tried to make my posts factual and professional. Mark

First off, I do not think you are qualified to tell me that I should learn AD. :? Secondly, I am not talking about add-ins. I am talking about just simple modeling operations. The fact that a SW VAR barely beat you seems hard to believe, but I was not there nor do I know your capabilities, so...

This is very specific :lol:. You know, "ENHANCED", I have been waiting for this for some time now :lol: I am feeling a little sarcastic tonight. Mark

When I started using SW in 97, PRO-E and SDRC were the bad guys. Particularly PRO-E's iron fisted sales approach. Funny how now SW is the "bad guy". I remember when 5K was a steal compared to the 20-25K. I have never had a problem with SW sales and I too have spent a few days in Concord, MA...

I am not sure the definition of a skeleton part but I believe it is similar to creating a master model and I have probably used that technique without knowing the actual name. Sub-dividing a part via configs produces a very stable model. Alot more stable than top-down modeling. This keeps me...

I think I mentioned this in an earlier post but figured I would post it here as well: Configs work great for designing housings/enclosures. For example a three part housing (side a, side b, and battery door). First design the entire enclosure and save it as the base config. Then create a...

This is part of the email I just got for upgrading from Pro to Expert Save $100 on Alibre Design Expert When you Upgrade from Professional by July 31 Normally $395. Pay just $295 To upgrade call 877-525-4273, dial 2 for sales, or email Expert in Motion. Also in this email: With...

Thats the peak. I started one of my most memorable backpacking trips off that tram(into the valley behind you in the picture). After seeing your photo I dug through alot of my old pix this weekend. thanks for depressing me :D :wink: Ive been too busy raising young children to do any of the...

Mike: Where was that picture taken from in the Tetons? (OK let me guess, Mount Rendezvous) I worked in Yellowstone for two summers and did ALOT of backpacking in the Yellowstone/Teton region including climbing Middle and South Teton. I have to agree with you about the Tetons, I absolutely...

Gotta wonder if a file from the free version can be opened in a licensed PowerShape version. Did I say (type) that out loud? Delcam is probably smarter than that though :wink: Thanks for the link Miles, I did see that same stuff today in the Delcam forum but did not get around to...

I have not downloaded it yet but I plan to after looking at the surfacing capabilities on the website and reading a few reviews. There never seems likes there is enough time in the day, never mind taking time to look at/learn a new software. While it says that it is a hybrid modeler it...

Thats a lot of $change$ to add for just exporting an STL file for prototyping. Think of how many design iterations there are in any given project with a fair amount of complexity. Yikes!!! It wouldn't take long for someone to justify purchasing a license if they like the software. I will...
