    I will say that for any given 3d model - there are as many different ways to model it, as there are designers looking at it - multiplied by the number of different CAD packages you have in house. You think that SolidWorks has "pits" - true - but I'm sure Alibre has them too. If you're going to...

    It's been a while since I did my trial version & I never bought the program. I still believe if/when I start-up a side business - this would be the package I'd buy. I really like SolidWorks, but the cost makes my sphincter hurt. In today's marketplace - I'd have to decide what the majority of my...

    Think of it as an investment. [lol] Heck - it'll probably pay itself. [rofl2] The maintenance fees will just be inclded in your bids.[rofl3] It'll be like playing on a free PC, not like work at all. [rofl] [center]tatej [idea] usfilter.com

    Don't assume you only get 1 30 day trial. I got 2 back-to-back. You just have to ask nicely - I bet you'd have no problem. It's sad that we're all belly-aching about the $$$. Lat's assume: $2000 - PC $1000 - Alibre PRO $100 - (wild guess) business licensing & fees $100 - web page $3200 ain't...

    That's funny - I e-mailed Alibre's tech support and told them about this forum - a few weeks ago - I think. So, maybe I helped you instigate this. I'll have to check out the Yahoo forumn. Mostly I'm looking for unbiased opinions - not really concerned where I get them. I'm gonna get this...

    I'd really like to see this forum grow a little... I wonder if it'd be possible to contact existing Alibre users and invite them to stop by and participate. Gee - if only one of us could get an e-mail out to these people - hint hint. [center]tatej [idea] usfilter.com

    The Alibre Challenge

    My 30 day trial is over, so I can't double-check this... But - I'm pretty sure that even though it encourages you to log-on every time you use it - you always have the option of working stand-alone. I get some disposable cash with every paycheck. I still plan to buy Alibre as soon as I scrape...

    The Alibre Engine

    I think the native file format for Alibre is STEP. If that's the case - then all the intelligence should go with the parts. Right? It's when you IMPORT a STEP file into other packages that use a proprietary format that you go blond. [center]tatej [idea] usfilter.com

    The Alibre Challenge

    Also there's some other fine print in the "challenge". My impression is that there's a set of catagories - and that if they're already beaten in the catagory that your entry fits in - then you're SOL. It was kind of vague, but that's what I walked away with. Perhaps some of their...
