This is strange I am using default settings for my 3D printer trying to print to calibration cubes. The first layers are relatively fine the Z elevations are fine but I am not getting any infill. I am using Repetier-Host with Slic3r. In Slic3r the cube does not look like there is a top but I...

I have a popup telling me my License Key will expire in 3 days! I have tried calling Geomagic sales to no avail. So what does this mean? I did not get any message of license key expiration last year, I purchased Alibre two years ago. I had purchased maintenance/support when I made my...

This is embarrassing but I can not figure out how to move a Extrusion. Now I must tell you I know very little about Geomagic (GM), I tried to learn it, occasionally, for six months but gave up and went to using MOI. Now I am trying again with GM for some specific needs. I have to renew...

This is stupid. I have to go to help to "learn" how to print a drawing. "Most" easy to use programs just let me hit Print. I am really not enjoying using GD. :( Ralph

How would I stack these three objects. Better yet how would I draw three items stacked, which I am sure is the correct way to do this. I do not seem to be able to manipulate (move) items once I extrude them. Thanks, Ralph

I probable turned them on the other night I was just randomly clicking things to see what they did. But I do not know what I did or how to get rid of them. They must have a purpose? How would one use them? Thanks for the help, Ralph

Why can't I go from drawing on the XY-Plane to the YZ-Plane? http://gettheworkdone.net/images/Geomagic/NoYZ-Plane.mp4 If I go to 3D mode and do something and then return to 2D mode I can draw on the YZ-Plane. Surely I do not have to take all of these extra steps. Most of the time I can go to...

Is there a Definitions Table or Glossary of Terms? I am just learning GD and having to guess at what the definition of terms used mean. Specifically I am just starting using the "Help" and the "Tutorials" and of course this forum. This is going to be my List of terms I do know the meaning of...

Now this has to be simple. http://gettheworkdone.net/images/Geomagic/CannotDraw.mp4 I can only draw on the Front and Back of my Bowl! I need to add some handles to the sides (which I'll surely need more help with) and do some work on the bottom. Thanks, Ralph

http://gettheworkdone.net/images/Geomagic/OpenLoop.mp4 This is very irritating, what the h*ll does "ACISERROR_SELF_INTERSECTING_WIRE" mean?? "Wire is self-intersecting" oh thank you, need I ask again what that means? I do not see any intersecting wires. "Open Loop" I can guess at what it...

I am trying to do a 3/4" extrude but it fails. I am getting the same error trying to do a Loft in a different sketch. The Extrusion is highlighted in Red in the Design Explorer! I do not see any error messages in the Help or Tutorials. Thanks Ralph

A movie is worth a zillion words: http://gettheworkdone.net/images/Geomagic/AxesSpot.mp4 I am starting to see that sometimes there is a snap to on a line but what if I wanted to start on a Axes? Thanks, so far the help has been really great, Thank You!! Ralph

I need to make a Ellipse that is 58mm x 12 mm. The default behaviour of the Ellipse tool will not fit. Here is a reference 58mm x 12mm Rectangle. And here I try to draw a Ellipse in the rectangle. http://gettheworkdone.net/images/Geomagic/Ellipses.mp4 Use your Back button to return!! How...

I am trying to go through the Tutorials as I know absolutely nothing about Geomagic or 3D Cad but they are not really telling me what I want to know in order to get started so I play around on my own trying to make things work. Now this I am sure is very fundamental but I can not figure out how...

I see in some threads a 3D mouse mentioned. Are they helpful? I am just learning 3D cad, or just learning cad for that matter, so would a 3D mouse be a good idea? Thank you, Ralph

Often I get to the point where I cannot draw a line. http://gettheworkdone.net/3Dprinting/Alibre/NoLine.mp4 Or draw anything. I only can draw things by randomly clicking my mouse and trying eventually something something sticks. I am sure this is something fundamental but I have not gotten to...

I know absolutely nothing about 3D CAD but I have a 3D printer on it's way so I sorta need to learn 3D CAD. I have Alibre Pro 2012. So I thought I'd start with the Tutorials but the beginning of the first Tutorial "Setting Up the Workspace" references the old version of Alibre before the...
