The more features added into Alibre, the less I know how to use it! I am still trying to figure a way to track incremental changes in a part. And NOT HAVING A LOT OF SUCCESS!
I don't think I need a full blown spreadsheet, data management system, but it would be nice to know that I moved a particular hole 1/4" and maybe the reason why.
Is there a simple way to record this data in a common place, kind of like a change block on the old 2D pen/pencil drafting system?
Lew, BigSeb and others have been helpful in suggesting all kinds of fancy tracking systems, but I don't need to create more work for myself, I don't need a system that complex. Mine is a simple world, or at least, it used to be.
Any suggestions or ideas? there may be a system/feature inside Alibre that allows this and I am just unaware of it. Changing the part number with a revision tag (R1, R2, R3, etc) creates all kinds of problems on its own. Alibre, why can't we have a simple way to change numbers? Don't like redundant drawings but storage is cheap, the problem is all the work with Alibre to change a part number.
Any ideas?
