If your only making a 'backup' copy on your server that gets 'restored' back to the same location on your working machine, then that is fine. The problems with windows copy that people get into is when they copy a part (using explorer) to another project then use that in another alibre design...

3. is very problematic if you decide to edit any of the parts and really not recommended! I would only do this for viewing assemblies and doing zero editing. Try to only open the top level assembly and then open sub-assemblies or constituent parts from that assembly. This is the only way you...

I think this has been discussed a while ago, i.e. lock the parts like Microsoft office locks excel, word files, etc (and become read only) when they are open by another process or user. It would remove the chances of users unintentionally screwing things up.

Suggest items for API improvement to the Alibre dev team. I've written many API based add-ons and external productivity applications for use in my company and never found any shortfalls in accessibility to underlying model geometry in the current API ... other than lack of 2D drawing support!

2 fundamental rules when editing parts in an assembly ... 1) If the assembly is open, ONLY use 'Edit here' or 'Edit in a seperate window'. When you close the part the assembly will update. 2) If you edit a part and the assembly is not open, then save the part, close the part then open the...

We have an in-house Alibre API tool that I wrote that creates board models and PCB assemblies from Gerbers and GenCAD output files of a PCB package. I've posted numerous posts showing the process. I agree in that if the OP was supplied with Gerbers rather than layerd .dxf files, I certainly...

Just click on the 'eye' in the tree ...

Totally agree! @sz0k30 , why don't you just "pin" the applications you want to quick launch the existing Windows task bar? OneLaunch just seems like a not do integrated implementation of something that's already implemented in Windows!

You do realise that AlibreScript was originally a separate Add-on until Alibre integrated it into the application to make it easier for users? What you have done just seems like a step backwards! Just my opinion. If you just want a floating window, suggest to Alibre that the current windows...

Hope there is more than that, because the only useful feature for me is slots ... and Max has already discussed that they are not slots over compound sketches, just straight or curved. So any guide track in my test fixtures will still have to be done the old way (which isn't too much effort...

For a piece of functionality that needs to be 100% bug free, because any issues in a PDM system usually break a lot of stuff very quickly, I would say that it is not a bit of functionality that should be rushed. I also think that it is a product in it's own right and the development time so far...

There are many forums and software FAQ's that I use that are reporting increased detection of Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B, and they are all calling it a false positive. I suspect a recent version of the antivirus signatures isn't quite filtering properly again as this was also a big issue back in...

The opposite to being 'Chuffed', is being a bit 'Miffed' ! Very much a British thing :)

@stepalibre , you've just confirmed the point that I raised earlier ... in that it IS possible to do things in Atom, it just takes longer! Even the wording in the version differences clearly says that ... Advanced Sketch Creation Tools (these are productivity tools like slots, etc) and Sketch...
