    Cobra 42 CNC Lathe

    I have it also, but I cannot seem to get over the learning curve. Do you do all the cad work in bobcad also, or do you do it in Alibre & import?

    Windows XP 64 bit

    Windows XP 64 bit I cannot seem to find any information on if Alibre 9.0 (SP1) will work on a 64 bit OS. Is it capable? Will MSJVM work? From what I have read, going to a 64 bit OS has better performance for this type of application. Thanks
