    Bolt circle centerline

    Did a quick search of the forum, nothing I could find in the help files either... In the Part view, I have a series of holes inserted with the "Circular Feature Pattern". In the Drawing view I wish to dimension these holes with a circular center-line (bolt circle, dashed), and an angle...

    Ambient Occlusion setting...?

    Just curious... is there a way to adjust the level of ambient occlusion (view toolbar). Nothing in "System Options" that I could find. I like the overall effect, but it's too heavy in the default - sort of gives the parts a Gothic Art appearance. Larry

    Opening start screen - recent files editing

    Is there a way within the program itself (setting preferences, etc) to remove files from the recent files listing ? It often gets cluttered with no longer used files (same different, save often). This editing can be done through the registry, but I'd just as soon not use this on a regular...

    Hole tool and part configurations

    Created a part - placed a hole using the hole tool. Created a second configuration - made this configuration active and then changed both the diameter and depth of the hole. When I switch between configurations, only the depth is correctly shown for each configuration - the diameter remains at...

    Precise Section 2019 build 20050 Issues

    Did read the earlier postings on this subject, but I'm starting a new thread as suggested - if this is still being worked on for a later update, then guess this post can be ignored. I have one particular part (open rectangular box, i.e. tank) generated in Alibre (not an imported file). Part...

    2019 Opacity and planes

    This observed in v2019, both build 20050 and ...51. Can't always reproduce this easily - under certain viewing angles of an assembly, sections of an object (with an opacity setting of less than 100%) will disappear. The included screenshot shows one case of this - the longer rectangular cover...

    Reproject view(s) problems

    This occurs somewhat randomly - perhaps it's a known issue, but I haven't found any references here. Will complete a 3-D part, subsequently create a drawing and dimension the part - all is good. Then go back the the 3-D model and make a small change, say re-radius a fillet. Return to the...

    Geomagic and Win 10

    Have been running 2015.1.1 for a couple of months now on a machine (Asus G751) with factory installed Win 10 Home - no problems until today. Using a dongle, the program recognizes it and boots up to the Geomagic Home window - no "x's" on the icons, etc. However, selecting File>New>Part results...

    Phone Contact - Geomagic/Alibre

    Hello, This primarily for U.S. Geomagic/Alibre users... Here I'm due for a subscription renewal - would like to get it done before my present service expires. Got an email advisory with the Alibre tel. no. 972-671-8492 EXT: 1. However, this number seems to have (for me) some serious issues...

    Dynamics Update

    Just downloaded/installed the update - ran a few quick (previously attempted) scenarios. Dynamics still seems to have considerably difficulty with InterDesign Relations from GM. Anyone yet tried this? Thanks. Larry

    Error 13008 (not 13018)

    With info from the forum here, I have understood (I think) error 13018. However, now I'm seeing this new cryptic error; e.g. 13008 (this when I load a error-free Alibre/GD .asm into Dynamics) - any thoughts / suggestions. Thanks. Larry

    Comparisons

    Hello, Newbie to this forum - first post. Background: I've used Turbocad since its inception (1984? Pink Software) - currently have v19.2 pro-plat. Turbocad's interface is mostly like Autodesk's products. I have some proficiency in Solidworks (day job). A couple of weeks ago got Alibre 2012...
