Hello, I recently purchased Alibre Design Expert Ver 28 and really enjoying it. It works fine on my iMac (specs below) via Parallels Desktop Pro Version 20. It works fine when I make small to medium size model files. I have also been using the same Alibre on my Windows Laptop.

However, I come across a problem that when I make a large Model (on my Windows Laptop) and try to load it on my iMac it stops loading the file showing 96% rendering. I have to actually stop Alibre via the Task Manager, as it seems to remain in the pause mode. I copy the Alibre Model file from the Laptop to the iMac HD. Interesting after stopping Alibre and restarting it, I can see the Thumb Nail for Large Model file on Alibre Home Screen, but again it stops at 96% rendering when trying to open it.

I have looked at the Alibre Forum and Knowledge base for possible causes but unfortunately could not find anything. I am wondering if it might be a display issue (settings in Alibre that is demanding more memory)?

My iMac specs are: Retina 5K,27 inch,2020. Processor 3.8 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i7. Graphics AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT 8 GB. Memory 64 GB 2133 MHz DDR4. I am running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Keith

Interesting I found out that I can actually import the large Model into a new Assembly and Edit it Insitute on the iMac. I guess this might be a work around?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Keith
