    .bip export

    I knocked up this basic 12" leadscrew so I could see what the minimum 'facet setting' I could get away with and still look presentable in Keyshot, but when the helical boss is extended beyond approx 4.5" I get a 'failed to publish to keyshot' dialogue. It doesn't seem to be file size related as...

    Keyshot 3.1 CAD

    A while ago I upgraded (more money!) the laughably useless Alibre supplied keyshot 2 to the 2.2 CAD HD version which gave increased (usable) resolution and off line rendering. I recently installed keyshot 3.1 CAD, downloaded from Alibre. The resolution is reduced compared to 2.2 CAD HD and once...

    Tutorial Query

    In the level 2 tutorial 'creating helical geometry' from the home/tutorials drop down menu, I'm having a problem half way through. Creating the basic spring works fine, but when it comes to applying a transition and a flat angle to the ends, the numbers don't seem to tally with what the...

    Revolve Lesson

    Hi guys, new to CAD and Alibre in particular. Just going through the online tutorials and am stuck on the Revolve Lesson. Basically, when I get to the mirror stage, I get an 'open loop' error. I think I see where the problem is, where the lines join the reference line! If I upload the tutorial...
