To move and/or rotate a part around in an assembly there are two tools needed and sometime you have to do a lot of mouseclicking to get the part where you want it. I did some experimenting with SpaceClaim recently and they have a very interesting tool to do the same with less mouseclicks. You...

Thank you Jordan for you link to Kelsey Woodworks script. Somehow I dont' manage to get it working. I will try again this evening. If I have no luck I will ask Kelsey Woodworks for some support.

I have a question and I hope someone has an answer for this. I have to convert my Alibre files into stp or acis files. Because this is a lot of work I wonder if there is a solution to do this in a batch file to convert them all in once?

If it is to use your files between your office and home-computer you have to setup a VPN-connection. I am pretty sure you don't need an additional license for this. I am in the process of moving to another office. As soon as I am ready I will setup a VPN-connection myself. To do this there is a...

I would like the capability of exporting my Alibre-assemblies in 3ds format for rendering purposes

Thank you Jordan for your response. You are right ofcourse using the Advanced Selector. But before V.10 I could select the underlying hole directly without using the Advanced Selector (with a wireframe View ofcourse). This is now not possible anymore.

concentric constraints in assembly In earlier versions (before V.10) in assembly I was able to make a hole in a in a part, referring to an underlying part with hole with concentric constraint. In V.10 this is not possible anymore, because I am not able to select the...

Acejake1000 I have had the same experience as you concerning Alibre Photorender (Industrial). It has very poor setting possibilities for lighting and shaders. Above that there is a complete lack of a good manual. To place a decall is a real puzzle and the overall results are far from...

FryRender absolutely comparable with Maxwell is FryRender. Because it is still in development, you can buy it for halve the price. Look at the forum http://fryrender.com/phpbb2/index.php to see WIP's and finished work.

Go to properties/display/minimal circular facets. Lower down the current resolution and see if this helps. It worked for me.

hanging surface bug I had a similar problem creating a double helix (see my post #7 in "Binaries-->broken sub assy"). I did not receive any solution from Alibre Support. But recently I found out that when I lowered the resolution of my display...

I had the same experience with this double spiral. It was suddenly corrupted when I upgraded to version 8.2 I will ask Alibre Support for comment.

I use TurboCad v.10.5 for 2D and rendering and it has import and export facilities for SAT (version 1.6 - version 11) and step. It wonderfully imports SAT as well as step files from Alibre in separated parts. Works OK. The other way around, from TC to Alibre is an other matter. When you import...

Thank you...

I have send an incident report to Alibre. This is Alibre's reply. I just have to find out what they mean with interdesign because this is not clear to me.

make flexible greyed out? When I place a subassembly in an assembly I am not able to simulate the XYZ movements because the subassembly is rigid. According to the manual (version 8.0) I have to right-click the subassemly in the design explorer and click the...

Bill, though the 3D modeling of TurboCAD is not to compare with the quality of Alibre, please notice it has fantastic rendercapabilities. It's possible to import SAT and STEP files from Alibre.

For about a year I changed over from TurboCad to Alibre. Untill now I am very satisfied with it and about to continue my yearly maintenance. However, in 2D CAD I am still using the TurboCad V10.2 because it has a lot of functions which are easy to work with. Hope Alibre will improve 2D CAD in...
