Thanks Gary, it's good to be back. Yeah, the Toolbox is more powerful than you think before using it, and Excel makes it really easy to scrap large datasets and get them in the form you need. I would love to answer questions people might have for either.

Hey guys, Haven't been posting for a while but I had fun making this video and I think it will help people that use a lot of standard parts as well as people who occasionally need to make a welded frame, either for production or for a client. Take a look and let me know what you think. Also...

If Alibre is capable of designing parts for actual trains, then it is perfectly capable of designing parts for model trains. Sure, based on the tier of Alibre you buy it will be relatively easier or harder, but that's about it.

You can't argue with that!!! All the best guys!

Nice approach and use of the parameters that come in with the catalog feature! Cool vid!

Really cool vid. Well done Harold!

Wow, really cool approach Stu. Very interesting solution. And of course, I agree that Ty's trick is amazing. Genius in its simplicity

Very true. I have. One planetary gear set ready for delivery. Really cool add-in to be honest.

Airwick got it! A deserving champion for this Spring Open. I'll practice and try to go further on the next one guys.

Thanks a lot, man! I think I might even have enough material for a second one. But these are definitely the important ones.

So, here's a compilation of various little tips and tricks I use daily in Alibre. Some you can find in older videos of mine, some are updates from those videos and some are new. Let me know what you think guys and if you have any other little tips and tricks you use and you'd like to share with...

If you have the table as a text file and do not want to remake it, then you need to use the excel plug in. Otherwise, you can definitely input the offsets in the equation editor and use them from there.

What is the issue Harold, I can't understand..?
