    GM service pack - when is one coming?

    I am getting extremely tired of the issues that come up randomly but also seemingly everyday. Seriously - is there an SP coming soon? Between the constant issues with GM supposedly not able to even startup half the time thus giving this process: (1) GM popup window -error "The feature that you...

    Problems with 3dm files from Rhino 5 & MoI

    Several issues. First is GeoMagic does not seem to understand the units (mm) without being told on most every import that I do. Then, on every import except a simple cone that I made to test very simple geometry - the surface normals are all over the place so the part looks transparent from...

    Rhino to Alibre

    Is the Rhino to Alibre plugin going to be supported for 2013 64bit release? I have not used it in quite sometime since I tried to install it with V12 64 bit and the installer tells me that I need Alibre V11 or higher, which clearly I do have installed.

    Showing Sketches

    I have struggled with this issue for sometime (several versions) and I hope I am just not seeing the obvious, so here goes. I have imported geometry that I need to align nicely in an assembly file. The models are importing with alignment on the X Y Z planes, but the orientation in the X plane...

    Certain Reference items won't display

    I am trying to add reference points to my model so I can then add additional planes. However, unless a sketch is used for a feature it does not appear at the part level even when I have all the items set to display (plans, annotations, dimensions, sketchs, nodes, points, etc). Also, is there...

    V12...34 Sketch Fillet Issue

    I have noticed a few times that this has happened so I finally decided to post it for some help or confirmation. Reference the attached image - Notice the .125" Radius on the lower left. Now notice the .158 Radius on the lower right. Both Radii were applied by invoking the fillet command one...

    Project Sketch & Referencing Sketches, points, and more

    I am out of votes for http://feedback.alibre.com/pages/16127- ... uggestions so I am not going to use it. the ability to reference and snap to items in other parts at the assemby level or other sketches within a single component needs work....badly! Being able to say, open a sketch on a plane...

    Sketch Array, Mirror, Offset not constraining

    When I use Arrays, Mirroring, and Offsets of sketch figures there are very rarely contraints that come over to the new objects. Is there an option/toggle that I am not seeing? I have checked but I might be expecting different terminology that what I would expect. But, for now I have to fully...

    Assembly MIN/MAX Condition

    I did not find a constraint to either: 1) let part of an assembly articulate between MIN/MAX conditions, or 2) stop on collision. I would like to be able to move the assembly around in a little more realistic manner than it currently does. You can move the arms around nearly 360 degrees...

    Shaded Edges Version 11.2

    How do I set the shaded edges so they are ALWAYS shown? Each time I set them to be on it only sticks on that part/assy for that session. I have been able to change color themes, change the properties per file, etc. I also tried getting everything set the way that I want to have everything set...

    Regenerate Automatically...

    Is there an Automatic Regenerate option that I am not seeing or finding in the user guide? I searched feature, history, regenerate and I did not find where there is a check box option. Hitting F5 or clicking on an icon after doing a simple change is annoying. I would like to just update a...

    Changing the plane for a sketch, is there an EZ way?

    Changing the plane for a sketch, is there an EZ way? I work on SolidWorks by day and now Alibre for personal use by night. One thing that I did run into when making a part was I did not like the orientation that I had started with the initial sketch. Is there a way to change an...
