    Drawing section view cutting plane backwards in new update

    With the new update the arrows point in the wrong direction. Is this a setting somewhere? It is definitely not correct under conventional drafting standards in the way it is.

    PSA: It is much easier to share code using the [CODE] function in the text editor.

    Much like how when quoting someone it is easier to read using the Quote feature, it is a lot easier to understand someones code if they use the built-in BBCode feature. It also takes up less space, and allows seamless copy/paste to and from your text editor. Its the difference between this: #...

    Why does material use density instead of the material?

    I am creating a script that allows you to quickly Save As a part and change filename/directory/description/part number/ and MATERIAL. This is impossible since for some reason MATERIAL actually equals DENSITY.... I have been using P.Material, which returns 1.0 by default. Is it called...

I did not see an option to do that.... I posted a thread on this forum yesterday with a few bugs and issues I had. It is no...

    Suppressing assembly cut extrude... not possible?

    I am trying to make an isometric section view of an assembly to be used on my drawing. Since there is no such feature in Alribre, I was planning on creating a second configuration where I simply cut the full assembly where needed. The problem is, unless I'm missing something, that there is no...

    Centerlines adding themselves... very annoying

    Anytime certain actions occur, alibre adds center lines to the views. Example: In an assy drawing I create/update a broken out section. When I accept the change Alibre adds all center lines to the view. This is extremely annoying because I either need to individually delete all center lines or...
