Quirks?

@HaroldL , does Alibre come with a weldment cut list feature similar to SOLIDWORKS? Typically we've always done weldments within a part file and then the cut list feature makes each body a component in a table that can have various things driven from the model. I was going to make a new post but this one is still somewhat active so I figured I'd ask.

Alibre doesn't have a native weldment function like SolidWorks. Although @NateLiqGrav did create a script called Frame Builder that he has demoed. I don't see it in the Resources section so it is likely not uploaded there so it may be on his web site. I think he has a link in his signature.

Here is the thread for my Frame Builder on this forums.

Do you know why Alibre doesn't import files into assemblies with the ability to use the reference geometry from the part level? AKA if I wanted to mate center planes to center planes for a larger general assembly. I notice I have to keep creating planes for each part in each assembly rather than being able to pull it in the part.

Have you tried right clicking the part, then selecting "show reference geometry"?

Thank you for answering that for me @Ken226 !

Will that be releasing soon?

We are beginning to enter stabilization. Beta will be in 10 days or so. Probably releasing 2nd half of May.
