# Demonstrates requesting values from the user then creating a part # with those values print 'Enter geometry: 1:3/8", 2:1/2"' Geometria = float(Read()) if Geometria == 1 : print 'Selected geometry is 25.4x22 mm diámetro 3/8"' DistX = 22 DistY = 25.4 Diametro = 9.52...

The standard python debugger is pdb. Here´s a little tutorial on how this should work on a regular python runtime. Basically it should allow you to do what you want, if it worked within Alibre Script. If you run the following script it should allow you to get some inputs before stopping at...

I adhere to what Drutort asks for. This feature is available in other software and makes the use of Global Parameters much more useful.

I guess it is not necessarily what sbeamers needs to do, but this video shows how to move all parts to a new folder.

Yes. It´s an old part actually and did not use that at that time, but I do name most Features and some Constraints, but Dimensions do require extra work because you need to open EE to rename them, right ? I am aware SW and Alibre are not quite direct competitors in terms of pricing at least...

Thank you. I should have asked this question long time ago. Regards.

I would like to know if there is a quicker way to modify a feature or sketch that does not require that you advance the "blue bar" manually until the end of the last feature after modifying it. This is not only time consuming but also error prone, particularly when modifying a part from within...

Hi Ralf. Thanks for sharing. Have you tried to release your artistic side with SIBL already ? Any pics you could share ? How hard is it to learn and what hardware does it need to run fast enough ? Regards.

Yes, I mean lines, circles, etc. The process for our plasma cutter demands that you create a .dxf file with different layers. Then you open the CAM software and associate each layer with a different "style" of cutting, meaning the plasma might start cutting from the "inside" (for holes) of...

Thanks for the tip. But that is exactly what I am trying to avoid, the need to do it over and over again if the part changes. I added a hole to the part, refreshed the drawing, and layers of unchanged all the unchanged objects remained the same. I need to assign layers to different objects to...

Thank you, I tried Shift Key but not Control Key, so that works. However I still get a problem. My process is: select some objects, assign them to a layer and then hide that layer, which should allow me to keep selecting other objects. If the newly selected region contains objects belonging to...

If I want to assign multiple objects in a drawing to a layer, I need to select them one by one, I mean, I pick an object, and then press the Shift Key and select every other object I need to change. Or alternatively do it one by one, which is even more tedious. Selecting a region does not seem...

Thanks for sharing the code. Could you please explain what it does ? It tells you whether or not the screw is part of th current assembly ? Regards.

Hi. Regarding the first part of your post I am not fully aware what you mean but it does look like the "Launch" buttom deserves some further explanation. Regarding the second part of your post, please take a look at a new post I just created after consulting with Alibre support regarding how to...

I want to share with you a little script that uses the OpenFileDialog Function of the Windows class. # open existing part script import os Win = Windows() # show open dialog window, if user clicks on OK then a path and filename will be returned FileName = Win.OpenFileDialog('Select a part...

Thanks. I had not noticed.

How can I abort a script ? I created an infinite loop. I could stop it with the Power (Launch) buttom but there maybe better solutions.

What about automating drawing generation. Can it be done ?

Great ! Could you please help ? I can´t find the reference how this is done. Regards.

I have noticed Alibre script is not included while creating a new sheet, maybe it will in the future ? Meanwhile, I need to be able to automate sheet metal parts, and maybe if I prove myself smart enough even generate the G-code for our CNC punching machine with a script. Lots of our parts are...
