I used to use an early 3d program called ProDesktop where the closed loop would fill with a light colour when it was complete. Sort of like Inventor when you select a region. If there was an error of any kind, then the sketch would remain empty until you fixed it. It worked the same way as...

The drawing file should pop up a box on opening saying it can't find the model and giving you the option to "find" it for it. You may have to clean up or relink dimensions for each drawing though.

Yes we do

Also, please click on your name at the top of the page, select Signature from the dropdown and add the version of Alibre you are using. Often answers need to be version specific. There's no point telling you how to do something if your version can't do it.

Did you create a part by copying a file outside of Alibre? It sure sounds like it. Alibre parts have internal reference numbers that get set properly when you do a Save As inside Alibre. Copying them externally means you end up with different files with the same reference and to Alibre, they are...

You posted while I was still typing I think I know what it does but it definitely needs a "Getting Started" manual with detailed instructions on what it does, why we should use it, what the differences are and when to use one or the other, starting it, what NEEDS to be included and what is...

Mine scanned clean (as expected). What anti-virus are you using?

In reference to arc dimensions, if you are measuring a distance less than the radius of the arc, choose the inside option if you are measuring a distance greater than the radius of the arc, choose the outside option

Do you click the dimensioning button first and then move to the drawing view or do you click the drawing view first and then the button? My question is because I select the view and then the button, which restricts me to the selected view but if I click the button first then each view...

Yes, that's how I got it and work pays for it now. It was free until a few years back when the version I had was no longer be supported by windows, so we had to upgrade.

I use M-Files

Or align selected center lines.

Gleason Straight bevel data

There is an issue with the Gleason bevel gear option. I ran the 20/40 set it defaults to and it worked but then I used 13/51 and the pinion has no flats on the tooth face. The crown seems ok though. 13 is the smallest standard pinion tooth count for Gleason

I don't know, but you could try opening the properties of the file and setting it to read only before opening it in Alibre.

Yes! the precision got me on a practice build. I wasted 10 mins going over the model before it finally twigged. :rolleyes:

Looks Great! But are they Gleason, Brown and Sharpe or another flavour of bevel gear?

what about finishing slightly oversized threads with a die nut?

I joined yesterday and have now done 12 practise models and the one you were asking about. I got 1482.0358gm I'll never compete though, my brain isn't too good at 4am (my time)

1 Using the section tool drops you into draw mode for the line as soon as you select the view to be sectioned. In fact, if you select the view and then the section tool, then you are ready to draw the line. 2 For tangent points, normally the theoretical intersection tool does all I need. Unless...
