That is it. It is a mirror image, but I can work with that. Thanks.

Not even sure where to begin. I have never struggled so much with applying constraints. Continue to get the "over-constrained or inconsistent sketch" error. I also get really weird results in trying to apply 2D Fillets. I have tried starting from scratch, complete uninstall, shut down, reboot...

Has anyone had any experience using Alibre with Intel Iris Xe Graphics? If so, what say you?

I never even thought to open the individual parts & sub-assemblies. That's too easy. I did, however, open my design through the Edit 3D Model option from within the drawing, then did a Save As and gave the design a new name. None of the parts/sub-assemblies were modified. That worked, so I...

This is a new one. I am currently using V23. Yes that is old. I plan to upgrade when a large project has been completed. Last time that I upgraded mid-project it was not a pretty sight, hence my hesitance to do so this go around. Anyway, here is what is at issue. I have an assembly design that...

While working in the drawing workspace I have recently experienced something odd. I have inserted a sketch node with the intent of constraining it (mid line) to a part edge (object line) for the sole purpose of placing a circle for a Detail View. For whatever reason, after the Node is placed in...

This sucks ... Can't use the software. Anyone else experiencing this? I called Alibre and spoke with a guy in sales who says that he's not sure what is happening, but mentioned a "new" company. Just received a call back indicating the server is back up before I finished this post. Was...

I am working in the drawing environment. I wish to move a view on the sheet. I select the view and the fly-out window with tools to manage said view pops up over the top of the "grab point". Now I have to drag that out of the way to get to the view. This happens in other environments as well...

That was exactly it. I didn't realize that an "association" is maintained with the array function in the 2D drawing environment. I guess that makes for a good day ... I learned something. Thanks Harold.

I am working on a drawing and created 7 identical rectangular boxes for 7 different detail views. In sketch-in-view mode ... 1 - I created the first rectangle 2 - used the linear pattern function to copy said rectangle across the drawing in 6 new locations 3 - created the first detail view...

The Font you are pointing to is for Tolerances. Change the Tolerance Method/Type above from None and it will be unlocked.

Not a real simple method. I would Open the landscape version and Save As something like "My Template Portrait". Then erase all borders, title blocks, etc. Next redraw the borders and title blocks, etc. in a portrait arrangement. Then save again. This preserves all of your preset styles etc.

What does that mean? I am trying to open part / assembly / drawing files created many versions ago (2014) and I get that error message. Is this a version issue or file corruption? Is there a remedy? Thanks, wazzu

I get that the dimensions are missing, but why do the 2 circled segments show as Fully Defined?

Thanks Ralf!!! Must've fat fingered the check bx that says "Do not show this dialog next time"
