Update time: Used two 32GB DIMMs of the DDR4 variety from CORSAIR. Didn't work in the DIMM_A + DIMM_B slot as recommended by the motherboard manual. System wouldn't boot. Would boot with 32GB in the DIMM_A2 slot. Either worked. Also it turns worked as single channel ram with DIMM_A1 and A2...

I've been using WHS 2003 up till now. It works as long as you have the ability to plug in an ethernet module that has a driver for WIN-XP. So my ASUS laptop, when the hard drive crashed was not recoverable even thought the data files were. My WIN-7 system gets a small card plugged into the...

Thanks. I did buy the expensive Pro version but I might well have said it's only used for Home. Dumb mistake. Will likely re-install. I'm a big believer in "Right to Repair". I think that Microsoft has crossed over the line with WIN-10 and even more so with WIN-11. Decades ago the US...

It's there as CORSAIR-2 is visible but the problem is more subtle than that. When you install Windows 11 you are required to give them an email address. Like a fool I gave them my Microsoft email address which is johnd. So then instead of letting me create my own user ID for this workstation it...

So... The only change is this: I had installed Windows 11 from a USB drive onto the 2TB hard drive running on my older processor that runs WIN-11. What a pig. I'm told that Windows 11 expects SSD for the system drive and does lots of stuff that just kills response with a standard drive...

Just to close off this part of the thread about what appeared to be data corruption in the STEP file text section of an AD_PRT file. Appears that the AD_PRT file is actually a Microsoft COM implementation called Structured Storage. What that means is the file is really more like a folder on a...

So here's what's been ordered: ASUS H770-PLUS D4 w/DDR4-3200 Motherboard Intel i5-12600K CPU plus Noctua NH-D15S CPU Cooler. 64GB RAM ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti OC Edition Graphics Card (PCIe 4.0, 8GB GDDR6X Memory) Alreay have brand new 2 TB disk drive so won't be going SSD yet...

That appears more to be a gaming PC with many cores and threads. Didn't someone say a while back that too many cores and threads actually slow down the CAD? https://www.amd.com/en/products/cpu/amd-ryzen-9-5950x I think 32 threads was way too many?

I think the writing is on the wall. Last night my WIN-7 system decided to boot to the black screen and cursor. So far I haven't been able to solve the problem. Could be a virus. Luckily the system still works. Plugging in an older 1TB drive from June2020 still works and then adding the...

Actually not here. I first created a simple square and extruded it in Alibre 25. Saved the part. Then did the same in Alibre 26. Side by side compare in Codewrite Editor. Although the parts were identical in size and extrusions the internals of the part file were dramatically different due...

BTW, any results yet on why this happens in both Alibre 25 and Alibre26? I believe the data for line 205 is all there. Seems like a fairly major bug in memory leak or some sort of buffer overflow.

Ah. I get it. You aren't moving my part. You're doing it mid plane from the first extrusion. For some reason I thought you'd moved it. Thanks. And yes. The original was and this one will be 3D printed. https://www.anninrobotics.com/ You can see it behind the main axis. In my case I'm...

Here's where I am now. Added a plane offset by half the original extrusion width as a parameter so if I make the box deeper it will move with it. Then created the bosses for the lid mounting holes and added a filleted support to the middle hole. That was then mirrored across that new plane...

Did you move the XZ and YZ planes on my drawing or start over? Or in other words, like in the assembly is it possible to move a part relative to an existing plane? I think that was a question a long time ago and at the time it wasn't possible. However inserting a new plane relative to the...

I didn't realize the outside fillets would create the inside ones but I guess that makes sense. Good idea. Thanks. What's a mid plane extrusion and how would that help?

Looking at the original and doing some measuring this is what I've come up with. A drawing with a curved side mirrored to the other side. Then extruded to the thickness of the box. Then a shell created with 4mm thick walls. Fillet the inside and outside corners. That's pretty close to the...

A friend managed to bring the STL file into Fusion360 and convert to a STEP file after Geomagic failed. What I'd really like to be able to do is draw this box myself but I am really not sure how to go about making this. Straight front and back but curved sides. How do I extrude this sort of...

Sorry. Didn't mean to touch a nerve. My point was that even though Microsoft is famous for changing for change sake that I can write a program on WIN-10 that can create an EXE file that runs on WIN-XP speaks to the respect for their customer base that they don't change the EXE format and...

And that's how I was bitten and am now at bit peeved. Started testing and drawing with the new 'enhanced' V25. Then discovered that all that work was now wasted and would have to be redone on the older version that was officially supported on WIN-7. Along with my AlibreCAD 2020. No one pays...
