Here is the assembly model of the linked / contextual modelled nozzle. Hope its useful. Regards, Gary

There is a way to do this unfortunately I cannot access the forum from my Alibre computer in order to upload the solution file. It does utilize a single sketch, well almost in that it is one sketch and five or six parameters to control planes. Other than that the big thing here is an...

In V10 if you reset your model precision to 6 d.p. (File-Properties under the units tab [default] set precision to 6 decimal places). The value used here does seem to have a fudge factor about it. For example if I have a situation similar to the one you're discussing and copy the 6 DP value to...

I am using two Vista machines, one a 4Gb workstation with quad core processor and Vista 64 Ultimate installed, the other machine is a laptop with dual core intel, 3Gb of ram and Vista 32 Home Plus. The laptop is extremely reliable with Alibre working faultlessly and rarely having any problems...

I was wondering if it is possible to export a multisheet drawing to .dwg without seperating the files into seperate drawing sheets. My customer has asked for a single file rather than multiple files. The only workaround I know of currently involves using a third party package to merge the files...

Thanks Toshi, I gave remapping the repositories a go this morning, unfortunately that is not the problem. It would appear, with my limited knowledge, that the alibredesign.adb file within the repository folder has somehow got corrupted. I gave it too support this morning, hopefull they can fix...

On loading Alibre, 3 of my repositories fail to load. The following messages are given; ERROR CompoundFile: subfile intPropertyTable.index length (#######) extends beyond file length (######) Where ###### represent numbers differing for each folder. Anybody know of a fix for this?

I have been working with some very large assemblies (2500 parts +) and have "broke the memory bank" on alibre because of them. The main problem is the slow down associated with constraints and configurations. I would suggest that you try and limit the number of configurations within parts and...

I recently upgraded both my laptop and desktop. One (laptop) with Vista Home Premium (32 bit) the other with Vista Ultimate (64 bit). The 64 bit Vista and Alibre do not like each other, the program stops responding frequently, sometimes for the most inocuous reason (moving the mouse within the...

Upper Memory Limit This may seem a daft question but I am stumped :? Anybody know if there is an upper memory limit for Alibre? I currently have a drawing loaded which when it updates (first operation) jumps the memory usage for Alibre to 1.7Gb...

Ron, In the past I have always been able to place text on the sheet just as you said. However, since upgrading to V10 SP1 I have been unable to do it. I am not necessarily blaming the release, since I have been experiencing other problems (material library won't load, model saving problems...

Can't seem to place text on the sheet as opposed to a view, eg. drawing notes. Every time I try to place the text it ends up associated to the primary view!! :? Maybe I need some education but either way feeling rather frustrated!!

The usual reason for this is that the part that has the missing face is not fully regenerated, especially if you have changed or created a new configuration. To fix edit the part with the missing face and force a regeneration on the necessary configuration, I usually do it on all configurations...

A little cryptic but I believe Greg alluded to it in his response in this thread http://www.alibre.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5461 Regards,

That sounds more like a graphics card issue than operating system, is your card compatible with Direct3D (the other MCAD packages use OpenGL whereas Alibre uses Direct3D). If it is compatible with Direct3D, ensure that you are running V9.0c Direct3D (goto run and type Dxdiag.exe to see what...

NB. Before you do anything create a backup of your repository configuration file - see below for location. You can use a text editor to edit the repository configuration file from the following location; X:\\Documents and Settings\\User Name\\Application Data\\Alibre Design\\Alibre User...

Catia has a few options for the export of Step files. To ensure you can read the file with Alibre you need to ensure the following settings are correct in Catia. 1) Goto Tools-Options Select the Compatability branch and then go through the tabs until you get to Step. Ensure the following...

Sudoku!! :lol:

Just recently I have been working regularly on assemblies of more than 1000 parts, I can honestly say that Alibre is not fast and does hang for ages but it does work with them. Can take about 20 seonds on my current assy with all parts displayed just to select anything (1753 parts - 287 unique...

Initially misread your post, Although Alex Frankes import wizard is useful, you are correct it cannot be used for importing on non-planar surfaces. Rather than dumping your whole solid to another application and back again, why not create a male version of the text in the other application...
