    UI proposal - feedback requested

    As with all UI overhauls be sure that user adoption is optional. No, I am not kidding. Whatever your good intentions, I have invested thousands of hours learning to use the software like it is. The devil you know is always better than the one you don't. Sure some of the dialogs aren't...

    Vault and Windows 10

    I think the key here is that you maintained a sequence of vault updates through the various versions of M-Files and were savvy enough to get updated license keys. I tried to use the latest version of M-Files but in spite of my having checked in all of my files and the restore seeming to occur...

    What's everyone favorite 3D printer

    Dittos for the Original Prusa i3 MK2S kit from Prusa Research. I received mine in June and had been experimenting with an Anycubic delta bot style printer prior to that. The Prusa has just been revisioned to Original Prusa i3 MK3 and the improvements are worth waiting for. See the announcement...

    Vault and Windows 10

    I realize that this thread is long in the tooth but the answer to your question is to uncheck the "Use Alibre Vault?" check mark. I just encountered this issue with Alibre Vault crashing after a Windows 10 computer upgrade. Looks like it is back to Windows 7 Professional for me.

    Constraints give over-constrained error

    I don't know when this became an issue but I'm pretty sure that it was after 3D Systems took over the product. I've seen this in extremely simple drawings and it seems to occur most often after I have applied dimensions to a circle that I want to constrain to a line or vice versa.

    Constraints give over-constrained error

    One thing that I'm seeing is that I can't perform a tangent constraint on a circle that is locked even though the line segment that I am attempting to constrain isn't constrained in any way.

    Constraints give over-constrained error

    I'm also seeing this error. Thank you for providing a repeatable example for the developers to use for debugging.

    Helical Boss gives unexpected SWEEP_SELF_INT error

    I'm attempting to model a simple spring with closed ends. Even after making adjustments to the start and end condition settings I still get a Self Intersecting Surface error. If I change the closed spring from Flat to Natural settings no error but not what I want. Any suggestions are greatly...

    Is 3DSystems Ingoring Suggestions for GMD?

    I find that bug reports receive a more timely reply when I provide careful documentation typically including an example that will quickly allow the problem to be replicated. I have about 40 years in software development related work and I can tell you that developers show very little initiative...

    I am using Geomagic Design Version:[ 2015.1.1 ] 64-bit I I think I am seeing a bug with previously imported step files getting changed. I have to do more research to be certain.

    Where is the reference that explains errors

    Sebastion, yes, time is of the essence and I very much appreciate your many thoughtful contributions to this forum as well as those of others such as Lew. For me communicating clearly and accurately is a very time consuming process. The forum is more of a self help context. I see it as a...

    Where is the reference that explains errors

    I think this is something that should be bumped up in the priority list for the next version if only because it would reduce the burden on tech support. Also, if it was given the structure of a wiki, experienced users could contribute to the content with examples of what works and what doesn't...

    Where is the reference that explains errors

    Most of the time I'm able to figure out what the rather unintelligible error descriptions mean. But some of the time they completely escape me. Is there an error reference that explains the various error messages, the specifics of what causes the error and how to fix it?
