Thank you will try the way you explained, hope one day we can do this just by selecting spline and plane or face, thank you again for your help

How probable is to add the option/command of inserting a Point @ Intersection of 3D Spline or Spline and a Plane?, can we expect an improvement on working with curved surfaces or splines in general (example: line from intersection of surface (curved) and plane?) everything else so far is looking...

Thanks, guys, another feature to add for future releases, is really helpful to be able to have a BOM per sheet because it shows the parts involved on the drawing instead of naming each part, sorry didn't reply earlier, I have to change my settings because seem like i don't receive the updates...

Hi, is it possible to generate a BOM for each sheet created? for example having a main BOM that is shown in the main sheet that contains the full assembly of a machine and then in the sub-assemblies drawings and/or sheets for constructive drawings show the BOM that reflects ONLY the parts shown...

Using cut feature, is it possible?, was this suposed to be a "new" feature for sheetmetal? if it is is not working for me now, I have a sheetmetal part with only one flange and i'm trying to cut on the sides to "shape" the part but is not working i thought this was possible in V12. Thanks

Thanks Whatavy4, it works just fine Cheers

What is the best way to import a usable surface into Alibre from RhinoV2 i try already all the options, ACIS (non supported V4 i guess??) Step works fine as a solid i try iges too but nothing seems to work I'm i missing something? Alibre opens the "surface" but does not allows me to thicken...

what happened?, no answers?

What about performance? it shows some graphics for the improved speed but any beta testers can let us know if there is a true improvement

The saddest part of this is that they went with Inventor instead of solidworks

Viacad is based on concept3D CAD and is similar to vellum because the guy that wrote the code or part of it was one of the guys behind ashlar vellum. PunchCAD bought concepts3D (or whatever the name of the company) and they come up with the idea of Viacad. Seems like a mix of Rhino3D and...

It may be that is not an easy task (coding) a complex software but this situation looks like "turbobloat" aka. TurboCAD where it has the most features, bells and whistles clearly ahead of Autocad but buggy.

This probably the best "Free" 2D CAD out there is quite "heavy" but works better than progecad and free2design, Progecad is good but buggy and Free2Design i did not like the interface and seems slow to me. this free 2D is great, can handle blocks, hatches layers etc... and is parametric, also...

TouchCAD is probably the best software for developing of surfaces the only problem i see (even if is not a big deal) is the lack of iges, step or acis support, you can't import any of those files directly, or export, but way better than pilot3D

Jian "Customer use" If you are looking for the least learning curve, then None, all have a learning curve (actually POV is really bad as learning curve becouse it has no interface), I like HyperShot technology, also Patchworks 3D, Autodesk Image studio, but not sure if they "play" with...

I used caligari to version 5.1 but was very buggy, i don't recommend it especially if you are looking for a easy to use (there is not such thing as an easy software, but truespace sure is a hard one to use) Jian if you haven't installed yet TS3.2, don't even bother, try blender instead, the...

Hi acejake1000, This are some products that reads files from alibre like iges, step and ACIS, there are difference between them, i think Have a look first at PatchWorks3D and ImageStudio, Cinema4D and Realsoft are more of "full solution" for rendering + animation this are more "all around"...

"What I really want is to be able to click on a surface on a part then generate a flattened sketch of the highlighted surface. I posted that as a wish some time back. " I wish i can help more but is not the software, prosurf will work anytime. cheers

MagneO, It works fine just import your surfaces and you can use any feature in alibre, holes, thickness and more. I don't use Alibre for sturcture modeling Yet, but i use solidworks at work, and i can say that is 100% possible on alibre (i own alibre), I just think solidwork is faster for...

I use prosurf basic, very good software and yes works with alibre, just use iges and you can import any surfaces that you do on prosurf into alibre, is easy to use, i do use it for hull modeling and plate layout development and i expand plates on it. i never import any surfaces because for me...
