    Setting view scale precision

    Thanks for your help. The dimension style precision doesn't change the view scale precision, either in either pop-up (DE and drawing face selection). I tried inches 256 which showed nearest 1/2", and decimal 6 places which shows one place on drawing face and two places in Design Explorer...

    Setting view scale precision

    Where can I set drawing view precision? I'm trying to overlay an assembly view exactly over an image in a drawing, and need to make a fine adjustment to the scale. I get different behaviour depending on whether I select "Scale" in the drawing face or the Design Explorer - see attached images...

    Export to STL (V23) will only export in MM

    When working in inches, I export in inches from Alibre Design and use Barbarian Units (https://marketplace.ultimaker.com/app/cura/plugins/nallath/BarbarianPlugin) in Cura.

    Global Parameters

    Agreed. I've put this in the V23 request thread, and the "suggest a feature" tool. The whole UI around dimensions and GPs needs a shake-up. I live in hope...

    v23 - Request Thread

    Please bear in mind that this is based on V21: 1. Equation Editor and equation entry widget poor usability - missing information (type, comment) and functionality in table; no "intellisense" in creating equations; copy/paste an equation to create a new equation also pastes the name and value...

    Constraint Dialog Proposal v2 - Interactive Demo

    Could the "Assembly Constraints" pop-up be made scaleable by clicking and dragging on the right border, and then auto-scale the width of the input fields in "Options/Offset" and "Options/Limits" please?

    Constraint Dialog wishlist

    Please increase the width of the Offset text box. It's fine for "D1+D2" but not helpful for "myGlobalParameter1 + myGlobalParameter2".

    physical properties

    Lew - According to our friend Mr. Newton, F=m*a. For the same force, if you have 1/12 the value of a, you need 12 times the value of m. Therefore, 12 * 1 slug = 1 slinch.

    Global parameters and excel add-in improvement?

    Hi Stefan. Just a list against the parameter name. Ideally, just the addition of "comments" and "type" to the table as in the OP above. There's certainly enough width available in the table. regards, Mark

    Global parameters and excel add-in improvement?

    Hi Stefan. I have a parameter-driven design, which I am refining. It's nice to put a comment against each parameter to show its status; e.g. if it is fixed or still being developed. regards, Mark

    Global parameters and excel add-in improvement?

    Thanks....but I can't read down the table and read the comments without clicking on each parameter.

    Global parameters and excel add-in improvement?

    Global parameters add more columns: type, comment Is there a way to do this "behind the scenes", e.g. with a configuration xml file? It seems strange to me that I can add a comment to a GP, but never see it again unless I use the "edit" function.

    Initial context for Alibre Script

    My concern (or confusion) is that I start with the Alibre Script console in the window of New Part(1), then any new parts created have their own new window which does not by default have the Alibre Script embedded. If I launch the Alibre Script console from the window of the part that AS...
