    Export to STEP (.stp) File

    I've had that error message pop up before. My solution was to redo the export but in IGES, which seems to make Moment of Inspiration happy. Indeed, I've lately found that native kernals aside, Alibre and MOI3D seem to "talk" better to each other in IGES than in other file formats, anyway. Just...

    Boolean operations wont work

    Good morning, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program and nothing seems to work. I'm hoping that someone can help out with a fix. Whenever I try to conduct a Boolean operation, whether Addition or Subtraction, the program simply hangs. The Boolean Operation Screen will display...

    Any ideas what the next update will include?

    Thank you for everyones' replies. I am looking forward to this. One possible suggestion to pass on regarding the filleting, Max... At some point, could a, "Max Fillet" or "Max Chamfer" option be included in the filleting and chamfering dialogue? This way, the user would see immediately how...

    Any ideas what the next update will include?

    Oh wow... That is very nice looking, thank you! I went ahead and did one year of Maintenance. I would have done more but I just got hit with a massive tax bill, my punishment for investing wisely, I suppose. I'm definitely looking forward to the improved filleting controls. My other big wish...

    Any ideas what the next update will include?

    My maintenance is up and Alibre pretty much has everything that I need as it is, other than expanded import/export options. Does anyone have any intel on what may be included in the next updated version? Just trying to weigh if I should re-up my maintenance, or not. Many thanks! Robert

    Problem creating a chamfer

    No. What do you mean by using a radius? Always ready to learn new things!

    Problem creating a chamfer

    I got it work. Oddly, if I did an extrude cut vertically near the nose, and then chamfered, it worked - the edge would chamfer. I suspect this was an issue with an imported file as I've found that Alibre doesn't always behave, even when importing solids.

    Problem creating a chamfer

    It hasn't let me do it properly, at least. Due to the narrowing of the nose cone, the sweep expands and winds up larger in width at the nose than at the back where I create the plane.

    Problem creating a chamfer

    Hello al, I'm having trouble creating a chamfer on the edge pointed out by the arrows. Is there any way to do so? I created the part in Moment of Inspiration and can't chamfer it there. Moved to Alibre, I still can't chamfer the complete edge. Creating a "slice" in the part (Extrusion <8>)...

    Saving only a sweep from a larger part design?

    THANK YOU!!!

    Saving only a sweep from a larger part design?

    Great suggestion, thank you! That's what I eventually did. I'm just wondering if there's a better way. Being able to save or export a specific feature would be a wonderful thing for Alibre to have in the future. Robert

    Saving only a sweep from a larger part design?

    HI all, So, a dilemma. I would like to save the sweep only from the design in the image. A 2D sketch was swept through a 3D sketch. I've tried simply copying the 2D sketch over (not a problem) into a new part file, but the 3D sketch will not copy so I can't replicate the sweep in another fresh...

    Making the selection tool an arrow.

    Harold, thank you for the reply. Its Alibre 28.01.28098. When the update came through, the arrow went away, just like that.

    Making the selection tool an arrow.

    Bump... I'm guessing that this isn't possible, then?

    Making the selection tool an arrow.

    Hi all, Awhile back, the selection tool was an arrow. I liked this as it was clear what I was looking and pointing at. Now, with the latest update is become a plus sign, which wouldn't be a horrible thing except that there are to other plus signs in there and I keep losing track of what I'm...

    Plasticity 3d - The new kid in the block

    I suppose I should try Moment of Inspiration (apparently it was designed for use on a tablet), but for now I've been coding and using OpenSCAD Graph Editor and BlockSCAD --- I'll try revisiting all this presently. I love MOI. Exporting from Alibre to MOI is pretty seamless, not so much the...

    CrowdStrike

    Meantime, Southwest Airlines just keeps chugging along unaffected as most of its systems are still using Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Yes, Win 3.1! Sometimes, upgrading last is a good thing! Back to the question at hand, unless you're using Alibre on some sort of a network you should be fine...

    Project Problem

    PS. Thank yo for everyone who chimed in. I'm hardly a CAD power user so I do appreciate it!

    Project Problem

    That's what I eventually wound up doing, a combination of extrude cuts and sweep cuts. Odd that the Project/Wrap function is so inconsistent, though. I find that it seems to work when it wants to work! I typically use those functions on simple cylinders and saucers - Trek models - so nothing too...
