I am working on two parts that are mirror images of each other. I have been focused on one side and working on the CAM setup, ignoring the other side. As I pulled up the other side (it uses the same cutters drills ect.) I realized that the Top face on the side I have been working on is drawn as...

I have moved on from importing the gear into Alibre. I fave the gear on the shaft and in the location I want, but it rotates on the shaft I want it fixed. I have a coincidental and coaxial restraints. I real life it's a press fit onto the crankshaft. This seems like it should be an easy fix and...

I did go to open and the location and have it in Alibre, but it is upside down and backwards and maybe a 10 degree angle. Can...

I have been having problems constraining parts in an assembly. I have a cover that gets mounted by screws onto a case. I constrained one hole and mated the two surfaces BUT I can't seem to constrain another set of holes on the opposite side so that the cover doesn't rotate on the other holes I...

Hi, I have drawn a cam lobe and want to rotate it in 90 degree increments around the Z axis. I am making a camshaft and thought it would be easier to draw it up once and copy into the right plane location then extrude boss. Then go on to the next one. I have attached the file rather than a...

I am trying to complete a cad drawing of a piston. What I want to do is choose the face at the bottom of the oil ring groove for the 8 holes. It gives me the message that it is a non planar face. How would I go about this? thanks for any help you can give me. I realize I could easily drill the...
