Yep that's the link I was using. I still get the error tonight. I even tried cutting and pasting from your post and still get the same error. Also when I click on "check for updates" inside the CAM (Pro version) it says upgrade available, click here. But when I click that link I get the same...

I am having the problem with multiple crashes since I downloaded Visual Mill 2014 for Geomagic too. Mostly when I try to save but sometimes when trying to simulate a toolpath as well. When I try to find the updated download that you all mention I just get an error message from the MecSoft...

Alibre keeps crashing when I use Alibre CAM now that I have upgraded to 3.0. Is anyone having similar problems? Even when working on relatively simple parts it keeps stopping. Tonight I am trying to program tool paths for a simple plate with four bored holes and then a profile cut and it's...

I have tried 3 times (once each week for three weeks) to register for the Mecsoft Alibre CAM support forum since the technical support announcement came out but so far no luck getting a username/account activated. I get an auto response email back right away each time that says all new user...

I just get an error message when I try any of the download links above and also from the download page on the Mecsoft site. Is anyone having the same issue? I am assuming that since I am paid up for yearly Maintenance I should be able to download and run it with no additional cost?

Good move Max, thanks!

I am machining a part that requires a combination of some continuous 4th axis work and then later on the part is indexed several times to cut a couple of 2 1/2d pockets and drill and tap some holes. So for the true 4th axis work z0 needs to be set at the part rotational center. But later when...

Scud, I found a download of version .67 that I had saved on an old computer that I actually don't run Alibre CAM on anymore so I have that version to copy onto a jump drive and then revert to if needed. It's the 32 bit version which is what I need for the computer that I upgraded to version...

After four tries of complete uninstall and then reinstall last night it is finally working again. I am not sure what made the 4th try the magic one since I didn't do anything different that I am aware of. I am noticing this morning that some older saved part files still won't work though...

Well I downloaded the new version (I went from 2.0.0.67 to 2.0.0.69) and Alibre CAM quit working. When I go to add ons and go to click on Alibre CAM I can see the MecSoft logo but all I get is a blank menu screen. I tried reloading it again but it won't work. Does anyone know if there is a...

Went very fast for me.

Perfect, the Boolean Unite method did the trick. Thanks a million for the help. This forum is GREAT! Maxi

So Ralf are yo saying to insert a plane at an angle and then mirror around that new plane? I am still not sure I understand.

I have a part that was drawn on the xy plane and then extruded along the z axis. Lots of other details were then added so it would not be easy to redraw it. The way the part is as drawn then it's center line lies along the Z axis. I would like to flip the part so that it's center line lies...

Sorry but you lost me Ralf. I have never done anything with symbols. How do I intsert it? Open a new part file but then what do I do? Edit: Oops, never mind. I got it ... I misread your post and opened a new part file. After rereading I opened a new drawing file and it works fine. THANKS...

I have a sketch made up of a bunch of splines that I want to scale down so I can engrave it on a part for a friend. I may just be having a brain freeze but I can't seem to do it in Alibre 2012. Any help/advice?

Got it, thanks!

I want to import a picture (jpg file) to use as a guide to sketch over. Then take the sketch and bring it over to an Alibre part file so I can design around it and ultimately use Alibre CAM to machine it. How do I do the picture import/sketch/sketch to part operations?

Yeah thanks I did do an update of my virus software and then did a couple of full system scans but no help. Further multiple reboots didn't help either. But I did get it working again. So just for future reference for others who may have a similar problem. I fought it all day and l hadn't...

All of sudden (after starting my computer up fresh this morning) whenever I try to use any of the number keys on my computer when using Alibre (Expert and CAM both) they don't work right. No matter which key I push I just get 0, then 1, then 2, then 3, then 4 on up to 9, then back to 0 again...
