In system options, un-check 'use online help if available'When installing v28 I ticked the box to install help locally.
Now when I click on help, Alibre attempts to open the online help then the web page gives an error message, so basically no access to help from within Alibre now.
Of course I can find the Alibre help page or go to the .chm file within Program Files, but the buttons within Alibre need fixing.
I am able to have shaded views in v28 - there may be an issue with your installation, or some other problem.Drawing views can't be shaded in V28 as was done in V27.
I occasionally shade a view for clarity but V28 only gives me messages about outdated views even though the views are updated. View attachment 41856
Thanks, David for your response. I did an uninstall and a fresh install but the problem persists. I entered a support ticket.I am able to have shaded views in v28 - there may be an issue with your installation, or some other problem.
An uninstall / re-install may be worth trying, or submit a support ticket and include a package created from a drawing which exhibits this issue.
Thanks David, that did the trick.In system options, un-check 'use online help if available'
Seems there is an issue with the links to online help (has been reported to Development)
Online help (including v28) is available directly in web browser - https://help.alibre.com/
Support said it is inter-design relations. I deleted them and now I can shade views in drawing. Thanks, DavidJI am able to have shaded views in v28 - there may be an issue with your installation, or some other problem.

Can you post your solution please.. I experienced crash on last bend - maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm not particularly experienced with sheet metal and would like to see a solution!
The cause of Harold's problem with the sketch bend has been found - the problem only affected certain cases of sketch bend, many work without problems.
To resolve this a small change had to be made in passing instructions to the (updated) ACIS kernel.
If you suffer problems with sketch bend in v28 prior to the release of any service pack that includes this fix, please raise a support ticket - a modified dll file can be provided.
Bug report for the mirror in the assembly environment.
Bug Creation Mode
1 I create part1: A bolt with a cosmetic thread.
2 I make a circular repetition
3 I mirror the original bolt and the three repetitions.
BUG: The cosmetic thread appears correct in only one of the 4 parts.
I enclose package and ask others to check.
Thank you
Francesco
This error happens even with a new drawing trying to insert an existing BOM, which is annoying when I've created the BOM with a bunch of notes in it already.I have found a strange bug with BOM's in drawings.
I went to replace the BOM in a drawing with the one for an other configuration of the frame it's showing,so I unlinked the original BOM, but when I go to replace it with the new one I get the error show in the picture below.
It happens whether there are any callouts or not, and even in a brand new drawing with only the BOM in it.
I'm getting that one too. I worked around it by saving the drawing and BOM into a different folder (renaming the BOM to the name of the BOM I'm going to replace it with) and once you've saved it, delete the newly created BOM, move the drawing to it's destination folder and then open it. When it can't find the BOM where it's supposed to be, point it at the one you originally intended and you're in business. It's a bit of a faff but it works.I have found a strange bug with BOM's in drawings.

I work around it a similar way, by just adding an "A" suffix to the BOM I want to replace, open the drawing and when it complains about not finding it, replace it with the one I want, save the drawing, then delete the suffix from the original one if its used in another drawing.I'm getting that one too.

What's the error?I still get an error when using a script to align to an assembly's plane. This was a bug in v27 too.
