    Extrude cut lid

    I am trying to make a lid but alibre does not allow extrusions of pieces of sketches as far as I can tell and because of that I don't know how to accomplish what I want. Right now this lid is 10mm thick. I would like to cut the red part down so that the green thickness is 2mm. The wall...

    I'm trying to do some vector graphics work. I have drawn a logo using inkscape. It's scaled properly there so it is about 15x15mm square. This is the logo and how it appears in inkscape. The problem is when I import it to a sketch in alibre, the "E" in "Alert" gets moved way over to the left...

    Mirror a feature on 1 face to opposite face

    I made a cylindrical feature on the left side, highlighted in blue, as shown in the screenshot. I am trying to mirror it onto the right side of the rectangular piece. The only way I can think of doing it is to draw a rectangle as shown in yellow and put a construction line through the middle...

    Editing Mirrored Sketch?

    How would I edit the number of mirrored items in a sketch? Say I select 3 line segments and mirror them. Later I realize I should have selected a 4th segment when I did the initial 3 segment mirror. How do I go back and edit the mirror so that it includes 4 segments instead of 3? Additionally...
