Standard part library included in current version?

[Joshi]

Hi,

I've got a question regarding this page https://www.alibre.com/alibre-design-overview/ where it says under "Design Data" that the "Standard parts library" is included, then in the description of it it says "coming soon". To me that sounds like it is a feature of the current version that just has to be unlocked, not like it will be a feature in a coming version.

That brings me to my question:
If I buy Alibre Design Expert today, but without the maintanance/updates, will I get the Standard Parts Library as soon as it comes out or do I have to wait with the buy until it the Standard Parts Library comes out?

Kind regards
Joshua

That refers to content for Toolbox that is in preparation.

I honestly don't know how the content will be distributed - whether it'll be embedded in the Alibre Design installer or will be a separate download (and if so how access to it will be managed).

One thing I would caution about - my understanding is that to get one aspect of the new content to function well, some additional functionality is being added to Toolbox (not in the version currently released). So to get the best of the standard library content (and possibly for it to function at all) you will need the version of Alibre that the content is targeted at.

Puh okay
Am I the only one finding it extremly misleading how this is presented on the homepage? It literally says "Standard parts library" there with a tick in front like for all other features. Then only in the small text below it says "Cominig soon" but in fact if I buy just the software (without maintanance) today I will never get this feature?
