    Script development and testing

    Hi all, I'm a little late to this party. Is there any way to integrate my IDE with Alibre, so that I can develop and run Alibre scripts from within my IDE of choice? I'd be interested in other peoples work flows. I'm working on something with a few moving parts and developing inside the Alibre...

    Apple Silicon & Windows ARM

    Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but please, for the love of God, no. Linux support though? I'd dig it.

    Alibre Design & FreeCad

    That lack of auto constraints on pattern and the single intersection per fillet hit me right in the feels.

    Quick feedback needed

    I don't like the idea of clicking white space as a trigger. I feel like this could be something that might either be triggered by a misclick, or be difficult to execute given a certain view of the model. I'd prefer shift-click, lmb/rmb options that are more deliberate and independent of the...

    Mouse pointer is too precise

    I was just notified of a lapsed license waiver sale. Still feel like I'm better off waiting a year or two until the new graphics pipeline has matured.

    Mouse pointer is too precise

    This is the solution to way too many problems.

    Mouse pointer is too precise

    This issue ruined me on my 15 inch MBP Retina. Kinda sucked because it (legacy) looked amazing on the retina screen but just wasn't practical precisely for this reason.

    Frame Generators

    Couldn't disagree more. It was one of a handful of features that ruled it out of procurement for the last company I worked for. I now just tinker with 3D design, and I miss it every now and then.

    Upcoming surprise :D

    One of two features of SW that I REALLY missed. Great news.

    Overriding part and assembly mass

    Because Id prefer not to have to model varying fill density/fill type/wall thickness parameters for parts that I'm 3D printing. Edit: it's also a good feature when you have non-homogeneous materials, such as some foam and laminated products, and modelling individual layers isn't in your time...

    Overriding part and assembly mass

    Cool script. I might have a look at it in the future, however I’m kind of wanting to save values into my part and assembly files so it doesn’t quite meet my use requirements. Thanks though. Doing some of these steps programmatically is always an option - it just kind of gets to the point of...

    Overriding part and assembly mass

    I'm modelling a lot of parts such as Pi's and Arduino modules, with resistors and transistors etc modelled as individual parts (thanks budget keyshot). I then weigh the part in question, do a bit of basic math with my modelled volume then create a "part material" that I assign to all the parts...

    Overriding part and assembly mass

    Hi all, Did a quick search but found no answers. Is it possible to override the mass properties of an assembly or part, as can be done in Solidworks? Follow up question - Is it possible to batch-set all the parts of an assembly to one material? Thanks.

    2019- List of New Features or Fixes

    Hey Max - just wondering if the new rendering pipeline opens up any VR possibilities in the future. I would LOVE a VR workspace and it boggles my mind that this isn't really a thing across more 3D CAD spaces.

    2019- List of New Features or Fixes

    My goodness the beta sure is pretty on my 15 inch MBP Retina.... I think performance has actually increased too, which I wasn't expecting due to the thing being 7 years old.

    2019- List of New Features or Fixes

    Nah that's cool. It's the import functionality that I was worried about (mostly). Any chance you guys can ignore all the bug reports and push the 2019 release in the next 29 days? Call it the Microsoft Approved Update Model? Asking for a friend with an expiring license :D

    2019- List of New Features or Fixes

    Bit bummed out that Solidworks compatibility appears to have been nixxed. We all know it wasn't perfect but having to rework 1 in 5 files is better than having to rework 5 in 5 files :(
