    What approach to take with designing a case top with different side shapes

    Hi there, I'm brand-new to Alibre Design pro. I have watched some/most of the provided free video content. This is literally day 1 of my journey with using the program. I am trying to recreate a case lid as a means of learning the software. I am trying to approximate or create a toy version of...

    Drawing line with real time dimensioning [TAB key hit behavior]

    Hello Everyone, I am new to Alibre so maybe I am missing something. I have 2 installations of Allibre. One is originally v24 upgraded automatically to 26, the second one is a fresh v26 install. I have a question regarding real time dimensioning while drawing a line. On the upgraded verions...

    Copy and Paste Sketches from Solidworks to Alibre Atom3D V22

    Hello all. I haven't used Alibre for a few months, so I am reacquainting myself with it. The reason for that was that my old laptop was struggling with Alibre, and I had an old version of Solidworks which it could run. I've recently replaced my laptop , so I am back with Atom3D. I seem to...

    2D drawins scale in sketches

    Iker Landaluce I have a doubt, in the 2D dragging section when I make a sketch this doesn’t have the same scale than the rest of the drawing. For example, if I´m drawing a line in a 1:10 drawing and I put a dimension of 4500 mm the line really measures 4500 mm in the drawing, instead of 450 mm...

    showing a sketch in drawing

    Hi All How can I show a sketch created in the part file, on a drawing? If I extrude the sketch I can see it, but this gives the sketch width rather than being a single line, and this isn't ideal for my application. I COULD sketch in the drawing file, but this is a little bit of a messy...

    Constraining sketched elements to auto-generated views in Drawing

    I have my 3d models and now I'm making drawings of them. I need to be able to sketch elements (lines and circles) on to the drawing views and constrain my sketched elements to existing views (tangent, midpoint, etc). I can certainly dimension to the sketched items, but I cannot constrain. I...

    We need a Video Tutorial on making fully defined sketches

    Since I learned that I should be making my sketches Fully Defined, I've been doing a lot of experimentation and have learned a few tricks here and there - but it would be great if a real expert would do an authoritative video tutorial. For example, why is it that sometimes I can have a...
