    Ribbon crossed out when saving file !!

    Big red x for me today. First time I've used it in months, also on W10. W/O ribbon, how do I access the commands that were there? Thanks Szumi Answering my own question. When unchecking "Use Ribbon" also uncheck "Hide Menu" This is for Alibre Design Version: 2017.1.2 64-bit [Build 18701]

    What are the improvements since 16.0.2.16496?

    I'm considering renewing maintenance at least for one year. I've been out of maintenance for a few years. What improvements/new features will I see? I do hope the new management makes a success of this.

    Maintenance Poll

    I signed up for Alibre Expert or whatever the top level version was a few years ago. I'm a hobbyist for the most part but I will noodle out something for work at home. At work I have a seat of Solidworks so I have options. When the rep that used to post stated maintenance would stay at 299.00...

    Just wanted to say something nice about 3DS/Flexnet

    I've been off support for about three years. I'm running V16 32 bit on my Win7 32 pc. Recently I purchased a new i7 quad core laptop and wanted to see if Geomagic would run. My first problem is my only 64 bit download I had on tap was V15. I signed into my Geomagic account and I found that I...

    "Next" release for GMD

    I last paid for maintenance the middle of 2013. I had a feeling that this was going nowhere. I'm using it mostly as a hobbyist though I have used it to design a few things for work. I just hope the licensing system will live on after this product gets abandoned as it is useful in its current...

    Renew or Not?

    I remembered being told that 299 was what my expert license would cost going forward for support. Then it went up and I renewed one more time before deciding this had got too rich for this hobbyist that has access to a seat of Solidworks at work.

    License Surpise

    Any time technology that protects the providers screws the customer, the customer has a right to be upset.

    why I try not to be a "pioneer"

    Other than being able to replicate your problem on GM16 Win7 x32 I don't have any insights.

    GM Subscription Price For v16 Upgrades?

    I've been a Expert version user for a few years. Stringing me along on motion, telling my I have to buy dynamics as motion is dead has me considering just sitting out on renewing maintenance. The feature to convert Solidworks drawings has been nice but I can export solidworks to step files...

    GMD16? 2014?

    I finally put GM16 on my XP laptop. It seems to be working. Thanks for answering my question.

    GMD16? 2014?

    I read Mr.Monks reply in one of the threads and I had high hopes I was going to get Dynamics but as I read and re-read it became increasingly unclear. I don't use the xp laptop much but if GM16 has a chance of running I'll spend the time to uninstall and re-install the new version. Thanks for...

    GMD16? 2014?

    I'm confused, I read about GM16 and I go on the Alibre site and see 2014. A link somewhere on this forum took me to Geomagic and I'm downloading GeomagicDesign_Setup_16. I just upgraded my desk top computer to Win 7 x32. I have expert and my support is current. I haven't upgraded in a while...

    GM Version 16?

    Expert brought configurations, push pull, sheet metal, motion, and more import / output options. Those were the core upgrades as I remember. Motion got dumped and it was what I was hanging on for. Modeled a gatling gun, wanted to see it in motion. I'm a hobby guy at home. I have access to...

    GM Version 16?

    I think any software provider that uses copy protection should have to use a key escrow service so if the software provider goes belly up and you bought a license for perpetual use, you are protected. Protecting my access to my intellectual property should be on the same level as protecting the...

    GM Version 16?

    At this point as an expert licenced user that now has access to SW at work I think I'll just pass on renewing. I held on waiting for an improved Motion module and they reneged on that. I'll just freeze my version right here. It works well enough for what I do at home. Oh yeah, I haven't...

    XP and current version

    Well I installed Geomagic on my XP Pro desktop machine. I have the Win7 Pro disks to up version the os on the machine. My laptop doesn't have an upgrade path so so I plan to use it until the end of support for XP. Then I'll buy another laptop. I don't like dealing with Windows version...

    XP and current version

    Today I got a notice that my support is expiring in a month. That had me wondering if the 2013 version ever came out. So I fired up my copy of Alibre and asked it to check for updates. It said there were not any. I see I'm running Alibre Design™ Expert 2012. But I read some wonder version...

    I keep getting constraint error messages, help.

    I tried playing with reference planes as the other responder mentioned but I didn't get anywhere. I think there may be a big issue with my understanding on how to work with assembly constraints. I can be a slow learner when I'm the teacher. :D However, I did try your way, worked my way...

    I keep getting constraint error messages, help.

    I've been trying to create an assembly where two rafter elements of a gambrel roof storage shed are oriented with a 1.5" space between them for a ridge beam. I can't find any combination of constraints to do this and I've killed an hour or so at it. I want to array this later, and then drop in...
