    Helical Cut with solid

    Currently this is not an option. I recently had access to Solidworks and this feature is available. Is this something that gets requested for? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

    Sub Assembly BOM?

    If I make a drawing from an assembly, with multiple pages for hardware and sub-assemblies. Is there a way to include a BOM on a page of a sub-assembly without removing the Bom on the main assembly page? I know I can create a separate drawing file for the sub-assembly.

    Curious, why not official "slot" tool (planned for v28)

    I have seen the script, which is great. But why is there no slot tool? Other programs I use have it, F360 and TurboCAD. Not really a complaint, just an observation. Admin edit - slot tools are planned for v28.

    Drawing Sheet Scale

    Sheet Scale appears to fixed at 1: 1. Regardless of your input when creating a 2D drawing. Even if I change the scale after the drawing is complete, the notation in the title block does not change.

    Sweep Cut a solid

    This is available in Solid Works, but not in Fusion or Inventor. Is this just too hard to make happen. I have a single need for this. A more accurate way to model feed screw / scrolls. Might this happen with Alibre? Just curious.

    BOM question

    I have a drawing I started with views, on separate pages, from multiple different models When I insert a BOM, It is only linked to one file. Can the BOM not pick up the parts from multiple files. I think it could before the 2018 update, but I may be wrong. Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Copy Imported Step file

    I was not able to do this. Any type of copy command, linear pattern, circular pattern, mirror, etc. I created a box, native Alibre model, & I was able to do all of the operations. I am migrating my Fusion360 models, & assemblies into Alibre. Is this a bug, or is this by design?
