    Drawing Mode>> Insert 3D Section View ???

    Your original post said you want to insert a 3D/Ortho section view...the view shown in the jpg is an isometric or perspective view, not an ortho view. There is not an easy way to do this, that I'm aware of. The method you mentioned in your post of making a configuration with all parts sliced...

    Version Stability 21,22,23??

    I am on maintenance and running Version 21...I was in the middle of a big project when 22 came out and I would not change versions then at the risk of weeks of problems....also I did not really see enough new features that would be beneficial, to me, that I was compelled to move to that...

    What is status of V23?

    What I think would be an interesting feature of an online help system would be if registered users could post supplementary explanations, tips or examples at the end of a given topic. Subsequent help versions might then be able to incorporate the more salient suggestions into the original body...

    Conductive Copper Tube

    We dont know your application, but at 75vac, it's clearly not a simple control or detection circuit, but I rather guess that as far as conductivity is concerned the grade of copper is mostly irrelevant. almost any common copper pipe will be conductive enough. even with 28 ga wire (.013 dia.)...

    Isometric dimensioning style

    I think you would have to first activate "Sketch in view" in order to sketch the leader lines. Then issue the Dimension command...you should be able to draw a dimension with no automatic leaders, or go to properties to get rid of them. (might make sense to set up a dimension style for this )...

    Does Script have any functionality in Drawings module?

    Thanks Nate, I was afraid of that...everytime I think of a small script project to compel me to get into it, I seem to bump up against program limits. David, I'll look into custom symbols to see if there is something there I can misuse.

    Does Script have any functionality in Drawings module?

    Failing that, does the API have any functionality in the Drawing module? I would like to create a text list drop down where I can pick a specific line of text and populate an Annotation text box with it. Thanks, Jimpulse

    Not Exactly an Alibre issue....Window Resize annoyance

    Ok after a more deliberate Google, I find that this is NOT a windows function but rather a byproduct of my MSI laptops True color program. That sort of explains why I had trouble finding it.

    Not Exactly an Alibre issue....Window Resize annoyance

    This isnt an alibre issue but I figured someone here would probably know. When I Drag an application window in Windows 10 a function pops up that tries to facilitate placement of the app window when the mouse is released.

    License problem

    Thanks for the suggestion Trice1, that did not fix it but it provided another error that helped.. That error, "SOAP client has invalid date" should have lead me to check the computer's date, but I did not even realize that I was a SOAP client ...beyond normal everyday hygiene. In the meanwhile...
