Hey guys, Some of you may remember me. I participated quite a lot here some time ago but the company I work for changed our CAD system so I've been in the grave for some time. Well, since it is Halloween any way, I'm here back from the tumb (muahahahaha). Other than having the pleasure of...

Lost and recovered ARB file Hey, Something to share... During a PC re-formatting we lost all of the design data of a particular process machine we built for a client (4 months work). The machine is already delivered, but there are pretty good chances that...

What is "top down design" Hi all 8) V9.1 is claimed to have performance improvements for "top down design". Could some one explain to me what is meant by "top down design" ? Thanks in adavance !

3d Printing (help) I just learned that 3d printing exists as such out of an add. This concept seems like something we could use, but of course, it all depends on the bucks you've got to put down for it. If there is anyone out there using 3d...

Supress parts and constraints... Bravo!!! I just reluctantly upgraded to V9.0. No configs for my std. license and possibly the bugs associated with a new release... and what did I bump into? We can now supress parts, subassemblies and constraints 8) Bravo...

Thin wall extrude This file is posted because of this thread... The curving is just an ilusion which I also noticed after the extrude. The truth is that I just opened up a single sketch and did the "Y". When I saw how easy it was to sketch letters...

Motion Simulation (alternatives to Nastran?) Hello all, We design custom machinery so we would like to see how our mechanisms will work before building them. We are not currently qualified to buy Visual Nastran from Alibre. I took a look at their web page and the prices...

Constraints + Layers do not work I just found out (the hard way :? ) that if you have parts constrained to each other but on different layers, some constrains stop working when one of the layers is turned off. Part A anchored. Part B fully constrained to part A...

IGS import as assembly Hi All, Andy, from Poland, (user=andrzej) sends us this very useful finding: If you strugle when you get a model as an IGS because the import turns out as a single solid (as opposed to STP, where the import turns out as...

Collaborative design Hello, We are doing our first attempts to do collaborative design and the first doubt we bumbed into is the use of the 3 check mark icons in the repository (check in, check out, undo checkout loosign temporary changes) We've...

Between the lines Hi everybody! I've been enjoying the richness of this forum ever since day 1 and have even developed a very nice off-forum friendship with some of the users for whom I feel as if we had actually met. All of these have been truly...

V8.2 used to hang and is solved Hi, I was in contact with Andy (from Poland, user= andrzej) over the weekend and he asked me to share this with the group. He has an AMD processor which kept getting warm and sticking at 100% usage for long periods every time he...

Spinnin' like a skater but... As one of the main "speed" complainers I feel obligued to share my impressions for V8.2: :arrow: Graphically, the performance improvement is amazing. I'm here happyly spinning like a skate dancer. The feeling of "weightlessnes"...

Flex assemblies and constraints I have this subasembly with say 2 parts. One of them is anchored at the origin (of the subasembly). The position of the other part does not really depend of the position of the first part, it depends of the position of parts that...

Sharing repositories through an intranet Hi, We own 3 seats of AD and will shortly purchase a 4th one. 2 of those users are sitting shoulder to shoulder (shortly it will be 3), but when there is need for them to help each other in a certain design (which is very...

Performance bench marking This is the document I referred to.

Is that Gaspar? Hi all, I just saw "myself" in the Alibre home page Add. :D Well, to any girls out there (and to the public in general), the guy in the picture is not me. To be honest, I'm better looking (ha). No, honestly I wish we could add...
