OIC, you have to have multiple separate objects for this single command:

When I do that, it will not allow me to set the direction: and when I leave that field to do so, it instantly fills in a 2.

Tried that, but it changes back to 2.

Had a request for a rack over on the Carbide 3D forums, so am trying to draw it up at: https://community.carbide3d.com/t/drawing-in-alibre-v29/104126 got as far as selecting the plane to draw in and drawing a circle, but was blocked when I tried to expand it into multiples --- a _linear_...

Emulation does not afford consistent interaction w/ native aspects of the UI such as Services.

I would be very glad of this as well, esp. if it worked well w/ an Apple Pencil used on an iPad connected to/controlling a Mac.

A new user is likely to be put off by a large filesize download with a high page count and a lot of material which does not apply to them. Better to have one master file and use conditional content to tune it to each possible presentation instead --- I still see merit in three separate texts...

Yeah, I'm not seeing why the division between versions is made in such a way that basic training materials do not apply to all versions. If you're going to have 3 separate product levels w/ overlapping features, the most straight-forward approach would be to have 3 manuals, there the first...

Yes. I would love to see a matching (human-written) G-code file for cutting that w/ a 4-th (A)-axis.

Neat! (my own G-code deploys on machines running Grbl, so is painfully simple --- not loops, branches, or variables). Are you doing any 4th-axis work? If you could share a simple file which shows some basic operations and a matching photo (or 3D preview) of what it cuts, I'd be very glad to see...

The CNC Cookbook site was purchased and is still up --- no new content being added, but it is at least not vanishing to archive.org, though it does take a bit of searching to find some pages (I believe that they are being organized into a useful hierarchy?). I've been considering re-melting the...

Clever and fun! I have to admit I was kind of hoping for something along the lines of: https://bezier.method.ac/ which would help in learning the application...

Yeah, clicking on the inviting blue circle w/ question mark in the upper right-hand corner back when I was trying to use v28 would have been a good idea.... I'll probably pause my posting until I've finished reading through all those online pages for v28. Thanks!

As a naïve user, I'd like to note that I have thus far found v29 more comfortable and better looking/less fussy/less cluttered than previous versions and having managed to make it through a tutorial showing how to make one part, ventured off into trying to draw on my own, but was stymied by not...

The Atom 3D one was what I had on my Kindle and I was traveling --- also, it's my intent to switch back to Atom 3D once the v29 version is released --- but fair point, and I'll start over w/ the other one.

There is a PDF at: https://alibre.com/AlibreDownloads/Alibre_Atom3D_Exercise_Manual.pdf which I hope will be updated once the V29 version of that product is released --- in the meanwhile, the UI seems to have not changed sufficiently that it is completely obsolete. A minor note: - pg. 13...

Is heating the plastic up with a heat gun an option? I would not use a metal tool out of concern for the cutting flutes.

Usually, shift-clicking a nudge/spinner will increase the value used by a factor of 10 --- is that not implemented?

(ob. discl., I work for Carbide 3D) We have a video series on this: https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/materialmonday and the usual suggestions are: - single flute tooling - a light application of diluted dish soap on the surface to help break chips - adjust feeds and speeds to arrive at a...

I would want 2, very clear/representational icons, but I would also want hover tips which are text straight-forward enough to clearly explain to a naïve user what is intended.
