I have a question for all using V27. I use Alibre for reverse engineering and designing items for 3D printing. Because of this, I use GLP to tweek the design. When I dimension from a surface line and that surface moves because of a dimension change, the dimension to that surface line does not...

When I add a circle using the AddCircle method in IADSketchCircle it draws the circle by Radius/1.269999. For example, I put in Radius=1 and the sketched radius is: 0.7874016. My units are set for inches. If I scale the the radius*1.26999995936, I get the correct radius. Any ideas???/

I have the latest version of the Cap Screw Selector/Generator completed and am looking for testers. If you would like a copy to test, send me a private message and I will get a setup.exe along with a video that shows how to use it to you.

Here is a video of a screw selector for creating 1960 series cap screws. http://delta-eng.com/video/1960%20Serie ... %20Design/

I have code that starts AlibreX.AutomationHook, gets the Root, creates an empty part. Then, I can get the XY-Plane and AddSketch(nil,'XY-Plane','NewSketch'); This starts a new part called NewPart with a new sketch called "NewSketch" and the NewSketch is highlighted. The variable in my code...

Please excuse a double posting, but this was posted in Add-On Development and think it was probably put in the wrong place. Watch this and give me your thoughts, please. http://delta-eng.com/video/CapScrew

I am trying to understand how to use AlibreX to open create a Part with an external program. The examples I see are in C#, C++, Visual Basic and I am using (now don't stop reading) Object Pascal. I have imported the Type library AlibreX and see a bunch of interfaces, I have been able to use...

Is it possible to analyze an assembly where one part is running on a surface of the other part? Such as two gear teeth in mesh. I have seen a video where gears are in mesh, but do not see a constraint that will allow that. Another question, is it possible to export a text file of the...

I am trying to understand the coordinate systems in Simulate. In the attached pdf, I have the properties of coord 16 in the piston.wm3 model. It seems to me that the X, Y, Z position of this coord should be in global coordinates; i.e., from the "fixed" origin. Yet when I change the 10mm...

I have a simple fourbar linkage created in V16 and exported to Dynamics. The pin constraints show up as behind the pins. I don't understand that. If someone would tell me what is going on, I would appreciate it very much. I have attached the exported package from GD the SAT from Dynamics and...

I have had a license to Dynamics for a while and now am trying to learn how to use it. With GD 2014 I created a 4 bar linkage and was able to bring it into Dynamics. I then (foolishly) loaded 17 beta and the latest version of Dynamics (?) and now cannot get Dynamics to run. I get the error...

I upgraded to V17 knowing it was a beta, opened some of my files and what to go back to a more stable version. The files I opened and saved, are not backward compatible. Is there anyway to go back?

Is anyone using LISA with GeoMagic Design and exporting STEP or stl to LISA? I have a model created in Geo and have exported both STEP 203 and 214 plus stl files and then tried to import and automesh in LISA. The automesher in LISA bombs every time with the STEP file and some of the time with...

I have a model created in Geomagic Design 2014 and have exported it to stl using the default values and the ASCII file size is 995 kb. If I increase the maximum cell size to 0.125 the file size jumps to 2.3 GB. Why is this? It would seem to me that should make a smaller stl file. What is...

Does anyone have an easy way to create right and left hand parts?

Where can I find the path for the parts that show up in the design explorer?

I have a part that has a male dove tail that I am using to create a dove tail slot in another piece. I want to add clearance all around the dove tail. Is that possible and if so how is it accomplished?

I just finished a fairly large project using Alibre Design Expert 2012. Maybe not a good thing to do, but I was learning Alibre Design as I completed this project. Not a lot of thought was given to organization of the project during that time and now I want to archive the project with a save...

I am running Expert 2012 64 bit and there is no library like in the 32 bit version. I also am in the US and still using US Customary units. In 64 bit all I have is the TraceParts Library that was created in Europe and it seems all are in SI. In addition, you have to have an internet...
