Hi Everyone, I need to share the choice to make the value added for Alibre Design, I just have both authorized partners of Alibre and Sprutcam in Thailand, I also have a project to sell an affordable package of CAD+CAM to make the new market instead Solidwork, Solidcam, Cimatron, NX, and Mastercam. I just show how to make a Sprutcam addon to Alibre and it is very convenient to transfer the Alibre part directly to Sprutcam to make a toolpath, I will update the test result again.

If you are using SprutCAM 5, that is pretty old software - the are currently on SC 16, so maybe the older SC versions don't understand the more recent Alibre file formats.

Hi Mike, I used Sprutcam x16 which is the updated version, but I have some bugs with the addon to Alibre V25, I have re-install V24 instead, and it has done an I update to V25 later it still has the Sprutcam addon, Currently, I can make the toolpath and simulation very easy without export to neutral file as another non-add-on CAM software, I think it worth and love to have both Alibre and Sprutcam.

Every build of V25 and beyond has a different install path, so multiple versions can be installed and run on the same PC. As a consequence of this any addons need to be updated to find and run the Alibre API.

Unless you force the newer versions to install in the original Alibre Design directory! Defeats the ability to run side-by-side, but you can use older add-ons still (if the graphics engine calls are still compatible).

But yes, it's up to Add-On providers to update their add-ons to use the 'newer' and more robust install and registry key mechanism found in v25 onwards.
