Yes you can, new from v28. https://player.vimeo.com/video/946389398

PDM stores files (from whichever source). Toolbox generates files from selected row of data in a spreadsheet. Files stored in PDM have to come from somewhere - one option for that is from Toolbox. A lot depends on how you choose to organise your work, there are many options.

Whichever makes most sense for you and the way you work. If you have Alibre set to save files to PDM, that will be the option offered when browsing for drawing templates for a new drawing, so PDM would seem to be the most logical option...

The library file is XML based you can put materials and folders in any order you like (does not have to be alphabetical). I've dragged items around for my own library using XML Notepad 2007 - there are probably other tools that can make editing easier.

You can't edit the default supplied library, but you can build your own which can be organised to suit your needs. You can assign 'favourite' status to a material to make it more readily accessible. Setting material does not set the appearance of the part it is used in - I recall that...

Purchased parts: probably stored in a folder by supplier, or in a PDM library. Fittings / profiles : whichever works for you , or build folder/library over time. Virtual parts : not sure what you mean. There is not currently any auto naming in PDM (it is new, so emphasis has been on getting...

Well you can open the part file separately whilst the assembly is open - but TAKE CARE. There will be 2 copies of the same file loaded into memory and the last one to save will win. If just doing a Save As, you should be OK.

Sounds like you are editing the part from the assembly. Instead, close the assembly then open the part and 'Save As' to a new file name - edit as required to produce your slight variation. and save it. Do not be tempted to copy file in File Explorer - that will lead to major problems.

Save them wherever makes sense - that could be * in a folder with the rest of the project * in a Standard Parts folder (so you can re-use in the project and elsewhere) * if using PDM, in a Library Just because the same name is used as for something in SW, don't expect the functionality to be...

3D sketch would seem over the top for this case - should be doable with a 2D sketch (which is easier to produce).

They are there is you zoom out far enough. I've no idea what caused that.

Just sketch the circles on the bottom face (or ZX plane) then Extrude Cut (through all). No need for anything as complex as a loft.

There is a Publish to PDF in HTML option, not sure if that is useful.

Comparing those registry entries to the ones on my Win11 PC - I note that the file paths in your registry have forward slash separators, whereas mine have backwards slashes. Otherwise the values appear to match. Not sure if that is significant, or if it's solely Windows vs. Linux.

The mm to inches could perhaps be if you've checked the 'set current settings as the default .....' when you were working on a file that had inches set. There is no option to lock the ribbon - you can turn it off or on, and also choose just tabs, or tabs & commands. Axes - are all turning off...

As you say, STEP represents the CAD geometry so should be 'perfect' - I'd be looking for some settings in your slicer software that does the equivalent to the STL export settings in Alibre (but for STEP files).

Why 'neutralizer' as a name?

Your circular cut must align with INSIDE of the transition piece (or be smaller).

Just use circle / circle lofted flange, set diameter the same at both ends - like first feature in this one.
