Something very GOOD about Alibre

I have had quite a few bitter complaints about Alibre.

Let me take a bit of time to mention a really GOOD FEATURE.

In my opinion and experience, one of the very GOOD and USEFUL features of Alibre is the "Fastener constraint". It should be up on the "Wall of Honor"

I had an occasion today to adapt a model from back in 2015 or so for a new use. Back then a fastener took at least two separate constraints. And, of course, fasteners, if you include them for convenience in building up a BOM, are never onesey-twosey, they come by the dozens, if not the hundreds.

The difference between then and now is very pleasant indeed!

So, three cheers for the "fastener constraint"!

I use the Fastener constraint for more than just fasteners. Anytime I need to constrain a part by its circular edge to another circular edge I use the Fastener constraint. It has a pretty broad "use case".
