Not sure how this has happened but since V21 was released all my linetype scales seem to be very fine. For example I have to change the hidden linetype to 2x to achieve the same dash-space-dash scale when printing to PDF. Anyone else getting this? Cheers

I did have AlibreCAM 2.0 Basic and it worked within Alibre 2017 but have since lost the installation files. Does anyone have a copy and does it work with Alibre 2018? Basically I want to produce toolpaths for a CNC wood router, very basic G-Codes. Can anyone suggest any alternative (free) CNC...

Hello, I have a new workstation and would like to transfer my existing vault to the new station, can anyone advise the best approach. My new station has a SSD which is for the OS and all programs, dumb question :oops: but should I install Mfiles to the SSD or to my storage hard drive? I want...

My workstation is now on its last legs and I have been configuring a new system to purchase. I was thinking of an internal SSD and using it for my m-files, GD etc. My concern is reliability and what are the advantages. Also for the CPU, was thinking of the 4th gen I7 or an equivalent Xeon..... ?

Hi I would like to convert a greyscale image of a floral pattern to a 3D image hopefully using GM, MoI etc. Does anyone know of any software that can at least convert the lines to dxf/vector so I can import into GM, ideally I would like the height depth also but maybe I am being a bit...

Hey guys I don't know why I haven't spotted this before but I can't seem to find how to change the decimal marker to a comma instead of a dot? I am working to BS8888 which states "The decimal marker should be a bold comma, given a full letter space and placed on the baseline." I can change...
