    Drawing with visible dimensions.

    Hi there, I have been using Alibre Design for a while now and enjoying what it can do. But, there is one thing that is bothering me. When I make a new part and put dimensions on it, why do the dimensions disappear, when saving the part. Once the part is saved, when I call it back up, the...

    Will not extrude.

    That is interesting. When I made the slot, I had a square end and then added the center of the slot and used that to put a circle on the end. I watched for the tangent sign when adding the circle, I guess both sides did not show the tangent symbol. So, I can add the circle and then just put a...

    Will not extrude.

    I have designed that piece as a fixture. The center is a 'cutout' section in the unit. It will not extrude. I want it to be .250" thick. When I tried it-I got a message about a 'boss'. It has passed analysis. Why? Papajoe41

I do not want to 'insert' , as seen, the 'semicircular' part inside the circle ; but, place it on top of the circular part. How do I do that? Is there a way...

    Working in Detailed Drawing Section

    While working in the drawing section and using Layers. When I am working in a 'dimension' layer, I draw a circle and then use the dimension tab to add the dimensions. Why do the dimensions all disappear? Shouldn't all the dimensions be visible when I choose to make that layer 'active'? Thanks...

    Saving new part.

    Hi, I go into 'make a new part' and design a unit on which I put dimensions. Is there a way to save that drawing with dimensions on it, besides just printing it out? Right now, the only way to save is to put it in a AD_PRT. I can call up that part; but, I have to use 'edit' to see the...

    Rotating view

    Hi, I have designed and extruded this shape. I have tried all the views and this is the closest that I can get to seeing this part. What I would like to do, is rotate the view so that the vertical part would be horizontal. Why? I need to do some detail work on the face and would find it easier...

    View Rotation

    Thanks. The details that I need to put on that face are easier to do with it horizontal. Its normal position is OK. Papajoe41

    View Rotation

    Hi, I am trying to rotate a view so I can work on the face. It is a 3" x 1 1/2" right angle piece that has been extruded out to 34". What I would like to do is work on the surface of the 3" side. I have tried to rotate it using the standard views. It always comes out as a vertical form. What I...
