    License held hostage!

    How many here know that a subscription is required to transfer your license between computers? I didn't. Note by Alibre: This is not the policy. Please see end for comment. I was told (lied too?) by the Alibre rep when I purchased my license 2 years ago, that I could transfer whenever I wanted...

    Liberal licensing... (eye roll)

    From today's (7-11-2011) email regarding licensing: Really!? According to the letter Bob and Bob alone can use the seat... Most other companies don't care who uses the seat as long as only one person/one seat is being used at a time. And are you telling me a CAD manager cannot call in for...

    Moi>Alibre>Keyshot=separate faces?

    Am I missing something in this month's newsletter tech tip? No matter what I try I have not been able to produce seperate faces in a *.bip file from Alibre. The only time I get seperate parts is when it is an assembly. I would love for this to work if someone can point me to the procedures.

    Bead across a sheetmetal part

    I have a feeling the answer is "no," but I figure I'd get some expert advice. I modeled a music stand that actually has a dimple/bead from edge to edge but if course I could not figure out how, so I just went as close to each edge as I could. Is there any way to actually put it all the way...

    Why not side-by-side?

    Why doesn't Alibre support a side-by-side install of 32bit and 64bit since not all of the plugins/tools work in the 64bit version?

    Problems with faces in Assembly

    I am having problems with faces disapearing when I insert a part into an assembly. It looks fine in part creation/edit, but as soon as it's in an assembly some of the faces turn transparent. Part was created from a moi3D file. It doesn't matter what format I export/import. See attached pics...
