I am not sure why I can't get this done ( spline min 4:45 ), it would be helpful from now on to show us the presets of your setups before creating this educational videos. I believe it is something from your setups that you skipped and that's the reason I can't get this done. splines is the most difficult to achieve and I have even the Pro version of alibre.

WHAT?! A digital company with a classy moral business practice?! UNFATHOMABLE!! ( i really have to try this omg )

"Michael, someone's trying to break my window." "Don't worry pal, I'm sure they'll give up soon enough."

Epic! Absolutely. EPIC!

Remove Face is becoming a real useful tool in the Alibre. I likely wouldn't have thought of using it. Thanks for the tip! Sometimes I have an a fillet that Tangent Propagate doesn't work and I need to turn off previews and select all edges individually, but that is another issue.

Is there a way to add limits to travel of components? for example, limit travel of a linear rod to 30 mm, etc. or limit rotation of a wheel by angle or prevent from two faces passing each other but make them as hard stops

I didn't know about Make Flexible - priceless

Nice!

Anyone else having the issue that the filet command sometimes doesn't select an edge?

Great approach and sound advice!!! Thanks man! Showing us all how it's done

Alibre Forum User: How would you make mold tooling using Alibre Joseph: Hold my Beer... No, you know what? Give me my beer back. I'll do this one-handed! This is indeed a Masterclass! The Master showing how it's done. I am sure that you really enjoyed that man, I know that injection molding is something you have a lot of experience in. Also... Wow! Massive, Huge Thanks for the shout-out. I do like Boolean Workflows because they can achieve complex geometry relatively easily. But again, I learned from the best!😉

Thank you for doing a video on my question. I am amazed you did it so quickly.

Great explanation. Thanks

As Alibre changes these 3rd party applications need to follow. They don't always keep up... FEMdesigner is a good example. I'll generate a step and stick with PrePoMax. Preferably Alibre just includes an FEA and CAM package... I'm all maintenance up! Let's make it happen :)

Good video. How about a video that delves into creating parts in the assembly that has inter-design dependencies and talk about the advantages vs disadvantages of that. It’s a thorny subject because such parts are difficult to edit independently and can be frustrating to say the least. Also the origin point of such designs can be a nuisance unless there is some hacks that can be leveraged when making such assemblies. Thanks

How do I print a full scale drawing of my model, multiple pages??

great job! What is the best format to export into MeshCam? I'm guessing STEP?

Could you please make a tutorial for injection mould tooling in Alibre.

You didn't show how you opened the tools. Frustrated.

Impressive workflows Thanks for sharing your expirence with all of us :-)

I just bought a 3D scanner to create an accessory for a tool. Is there a way to import the scanned file (.stl, .obj, etc) and boolean subtract it from a design? (Please let me know if I've asked a vague question, expecting a specific answer. Or if this is better handled with a phone call)

Amazing skills showcase! Next level man... Totally next level

"I shall consume. Consume. CONSUME EVERYTHING!"

When I build a new part based on another part in the assembly and use Constraints and keep association, and then move the parts in the assembly, the dependent part is destroyed by the movement. Is there a way to have Constraints that have "keep association" but still allow movements in the assembly - I may miss that option.

Hmm. I just watched and commented on a video of yours from 2 years ago. Looks like you've finally decided which child is your favorite. :)

Thank you for such great videos. Would you consider instructions on how to best model a Tension structure like a sail shade. Lofts appear to work but perhaps you have a better idea. Specifically how to model a Hyperbolic Parabola roof structure.

Is there no way to constrain the y-axis vertically while rotating in the same way solidworks does the "rotate about scene floor" option? This is a big usability issue for me.

Do you have regional pricing?

This was fantastic. Thanks!

The power of parametric drawing and Alibre Atom. Thanks for doing the demo with the entry-level software.

Using convert to sheet metal is a great way of sharing part files across different CAD systems. However, as shown at 6:19 in your video, you need to be careful when there are holes or cutouts that cross bends. It may be necessary to remove or suppress them in the original part before converting to sheet metal so the bend is not compromised. Then add the hole/cutout in the sheet metal part with an unbend/rebend as appropriate. Is Rip only used to trim corners? Seems like that is the only example ever shown for the option and a chamfer could do the same and be more easily editable.

I wish this was available in the Atom version... :(

I hyped you guy up on my latest live stream. I am so loving what you all are doing and grateful for your business model! Keep doing what you do. I will be using your software in future livestreams. while designing a new machine I have planned.

Is there a way to access ready-made objects such as bolts, screws and various other hardware?

wouah that was fast, thanks a lot!

in Atom3D, since we don't have the Boolean Unit, how can I do this? Using the "Assembly" ? I can't seem to be able to find the way to circular pattern after adding both parts! :(

This would also work really well for prosumers with home servers at home. It would be really cool if Alibre had a TrueNAS plugin.

Another fantastic video Joseph. Thanks. Jimcad

Nice video. Always like learning about sheet metal. I don’t use it often enough to get good with it. Thanks.

Just so people know, it's not available in Atom3D.

I mostly figured the BOM out but have trouble placing it. I can’t get the BOM to snap into place like inventor or solidworks does. I try to get the lower left of BOM to upper right of title block.

A very simple workflow to get a great looking drill!!! Kudos!!! Great solutions for the flutes and split point

Meets all the requirements except actually cutting 😒 Without getting too far into the weeds, you need some clearance behind the lips so the drill can advance. That's what the crazy looking sharpeners from Sears and General did-they would pivot around and put a roll off behind the cutting lip. Oddly, i spent some hours working on exactly this a couple weeks ago. I never did get the tip quite right.

Great video. Thanks.

I didn't think of using a slot, I used a circle. I used Parameters in the Equation Editor. I have two main params, Length and Diameter. I also did rough math for ratios for the Helical params. All that is needed is to enter Length and diameter and complete with a Save As. I did it for 1 mm to 10 mm in 0.5mm steps. Now I'm ready to design a drill bit box assembly.

Thank you!

Excellent tutorial. The construction of the drill is very similar to how the drill is machined.

Is there a video for drill bit design?

It's been a LONG time since a CAD program took my breath away, wow!
