OK. Thank you! That should be a new View Function Suggestion/Ticket. The ability to Align random views by selecting a point from each view and aligning the points in either an X axis or a Y axis.

Alibre Design Expert V27 User I started a 2D Drawing and selected Front, Side and Back Standard Views and inserted them into my Drawing Template - Sheet<1>. I begin dimensioning the views and realized I didn't have as much detail as I wanted, so changed the scale from 1= 6 to 1=4. This was...

Thank you, Gentlemen! Yes, I fixed it by resetting the user profile, which does, indeed, create a huge pain to go back a set up all of my UI preferences. But, live and learn; I won't make that mistake again. Also, I am in complete agreement about breaking up the User Profile into smaller...

This afternoon, I downloaded/installed V26. I was trying to customize and reshape some of the existing toolbars, like Sketch... remove a couple of items that I don't use and make the toolbar vertical. Finally figured out how to make it vertical and drag it to the right side of the screen, but...

Doesn't Dassault Systemes own Catia, Solid Works and 3D Systems? Having worked in industry for over 30 years, I have found only a very few french made systems (machines or software) that were not screwy. They can't get out of their own way. As soon as 3D Systems bought Alibre/GMD, things got...

Yeah, a lot of the above angst is one of the reasons I decided to wait, at least, one day and maybe two days, before I download my V12 upgrade. I mean... it ain't like they're gonna run out of copies! :lol: Avoid the rush... wait a couple of days! :D

Inquiring minds want to know! :D

I tried to use the Vault. I had it set up and was using it. I never did like it and still don't like it. I will not go back to using the Vault. The deal-breaker for me was trying to transport projects/files from one computer to another. I don't have a network server, but I do have two and...

I thought it was to be today. Any word/update, yet? Thanks!

I have created Hole Charts using the "Notes" function. It is completely manual, but it works. I regularly use Hole Charts, because they allow me to conserve space. Many times, I can easily, clearly and cleanly get a relatively large part on an A-Size (8.5"x11") Sheet, by using Hole Charts and...

Yeah. I guess that is what I will do. However, I am also going to turn in a request to Alibre to add this to the next upgrade or service pak.

I have a rather long description for one of my parts. This causes it to run out of room in the BOM. I cannot make the BOM any wider or increase the legnth of the "Description" field in the BOM. I really want to be able to wrap the text for that field. Is this possible? I know how to...

Thanks Jordon! This is what I now have: Alibre Design™ Expert 10.0 Alibre Design Version:[ PRODUCTVERSION 10,0,1,10059 ] Just to clarify, you are saying that this is the upgrade? Thanks again!

What happened to the upgrade download? I tried to upgrade - already had 10.0 - and only got 10.0SP1; or, is that the upgrade?. My profile still says 10.0, though. I had already upgraded the computer at my other office, last week. Thanks!

Re: Yeah, did that, too. The leader responded, but the rest of the symbol did not. Thanks though!

Re: Yeah, that would be funny. But not the case. It is a HP LaserJet 6L (B&W only)with plenty of toner. No problems changing and seeing the line weights of other lines.

Got help from Alibre' Design Assistant At this time it is not possible to change the line weights of the weld or other symbols - at least the ones that cannot be exploded. However the ADA has put that in as a request for the next update! You can work around by making a...

Weld Symbols - Printing out too light. I am having a problem with my weld symbols in my drawings. Creating them and placing them on my drawings is no problem. However, whenever I print the drawing, the weld symbol is so light, that it is VERY hard to see. The tail...

Old Question - EXTERNAL Cosmetic Threads?? For things like bolts, studs, and threaded pipe nipples/ends, I know that I can actually make the external threads using Revolve Boss, Revolve Cut, Helical Boss, and Helical Cut; however, those add a tremendous amount of unecessary...

Activate Windows? Why is my computer asking me if I want to "Activate this copy of Windows"? I downloaded and installed the ALGOR add-on from the Alibre' Website. After I rebooted my machine, to complete the installation, I was asked the above...
