Hi everyone , I have attached 3 files. One is the assembly for a set of leaf springs and the others are 2 of the leafs as part files. From the top spring (No 1) down to spring number six I was creating a sheet metal part so I could unfold and get a length of the material which worked fine. I did have to put a flat of generally 1mm to do this. When I got to spring 7 it would only create the flat tab and not the rest of the spring. Would someone be good enough to have a look and see if they... Read more ..read more

Does anyone else have experience using Alibre across a 10 Gig network? All my Alibre files are stored on my local server and accessed by a handful of workstations. I upgraded some of my network to 10 Gigabit, and found Alibre to load assemblies much slower than before. (This is not a network problem as windows is able to read/write files across the network around 8x faster). The problem is with Alibre only. Opening an assembly that took 2 1/2 min. now takes 5 min. Could it be a hardware... Read more ..read more

I everyone, I'm just trying something out. if I open a dxf drawing in Alibre Expert it works fine and I can modify it etc. How do I go about copying it and pasting it into a sketch into the 3d model space if it is possible at all. Thanks. Jason ..read more

Hello, I am trying to figure out if there is a way to execute an script in Alibre from batch. What I would like to do is be able to launch Alibre with a particular part (or assembly), then run a script that will update the global parameters and export a neutral CAD file. I have figured out that I am able to open a part using the following command: "<install_location>\Program\Alibre Design.exe" "path\to\part.ad_prt" but I cannot seem to figure out if there are any other command line...

Two separate pieces of pipe, drawn as 2 separate sweeps. Why is one 'transparent' and the other 'opaque'? This is the first and only time I have seen a 'pipe' look like this. Probably a mouse click oops. I just wouldn't know how to 'unclick' it. AD V24 Build 24044 ..read more

I'm working on an update to my gear generator and need some help with the geometry calculations.. I want to add a radius to the gear tooth tip. This needs to be mathematically correct and the location can not be determined by sketch construction. Generally, the radius at the tooth tip where the Addendum (Tip) circle meets the involute curve of the tooth flank is 0.25Module. The screen grab below illustrates the problem for a Module 1, 18 Tooth gear. The circle at centre A is the full... Read more ..read more
