    Calculating weights on an assembly

    Hi dwc, Well I went over my spread sheet numbers one more time and found that I had to be careful which selection of accuracy to pick (4 levels to pick from) to do the calculations on Alibre. Otherwise, I get different results.

    Maintenance renewal question

    I know this subject has been discussed to the nth degree. I spent over an hour going through the forum to get historical info to try answer my questions. Some of the info is still confusing to me such as the license being perpetual and what does that mean exactly. My maintenance is coming up...

    Updating

    I updated my laptop without first uninstalling V16. Seemed to work ok. Did not ask me for the activation code. Is there something that I am missing on proper procedure to make V17 work properly?

    Wantedto update to newer version.. Wow, website unhelpful

    Wow, that is strange. Checking for any updates button on the CAD shows that I am up to date on V16. If I want to download V17, do I need to uninstall V16 first, or as RALF suggests, download V17 in a separate folder?

    GM Version 16?

    Bigseb, Did Dynamics come with your subscription or did you buy it separately? I bought Dynamics separately and my license shows as just Design.

    Geomagic locks up if I loose internet

    Early this morning I lost internet connection. Apparently something happened down my street and the internet provider was there doing the maintenance to fix it. So, meanwhile, I decided I would just proceed to do some design work on the computer. Wrong! Geomagic locked up. I could not do any...
