GIOV - how about this (exaggerated to make it clear) ? It was slightly tedious, but is possible. The result has some issues OR what addition/enhancement would allow this to fit your needs? Maybe a 'fixed orientation' option in the pattern along path tool? OR would an enhancement to...

GPU details needed really too. Check out https://help.alibre.com/articles/#!alibre-help-v27/slow-response/q/sluggish/qid/48832/qp/3 Make sure hardware accelerated graphics scheduling is enabled in Windows (if available)...

I'd comment that using an assembly boolean and wanting updates to get pushed to right files are not compatible. Assembly booleans don't update if the source files are edited. Most of the time I use Part booleans as these will update if source files are edited. Doesn't selecting configuration...

Do you have Grammarly installed ? That is known to cause such issues.

Could you pattern small 'pilot holes' along path, then use those to locate the final cuts?

Can you pattern the cuts along edge of the frame piece? Do you really have to use points as intermediaries?

You are not wrong. Though you can add points concentric with edges of patterned features. I was simply pointing out that Alibre does have some capability to divide a path. Points would usually be used to position something else, not just there for their own sake. What is it that you actually...

Hope this isn't too lazy.... https://www.alibre.com/version27/

If you actually want to divide up a curve, look at pattern along path.

What 'AI' are you referring to? What question did you ask the AI? Alibre has a Help file - Alibre is not responsible for any AI tools that you may have been experimenting with.

The BoM is for the assembly that the assembly in question. If there are sub-assemblies, you may need to set theses to be treated as parts... https://help.alibre.com/articles/#!alibre-help-v27/roll-up-bom-rows-into-a-single-row

You do need to have SAVED the part file before you can make a drawing.

Or just contact support - they'll release your licence activation at the server and can tell you the latest version that your licence is entitled to. https://www.alibre.com/alibre-customer-support-ticket-entry/

System options -> Interoperability -> STL/ZPR as well as the settings this includes a check box for 'show options on export'

If circle is showing as square in the exported STL - you need to review the STL output settings. Try starting with the values shown at https://help.alibre.com/articles/#!alibre-help-v27/stl-export-settings MeshCAM can also accept STEP input which shouldn't suffer the same problem.

Typically it's best to delete and re-create the callout. You can manually override, but then you have to remember to edit in future. May be a peculiarity of exploded views - they don't update in the same way as other views after editing the assembly (from what I recall).

Sorry - I don't know how to edit the file, nor how to locate corruption in it.

Yes - with Alibre closed, rename the existing User.NET.profile_27 file to somethign else (e.g. User.NET.27old ), then rename the User.NET.profile_27.bak by removing the .bak Then re-launch Alibre. BUT if there was a problem with the old file, then you'll have exactly the same issue again.

If controller is GRBL based, use the GRBL posts for MeshCAM - check documentation for your controller as to what file extension it expects for the g-code file. As a newcomer to CNC I suggest start with simple operations - don't try to do everything in one go in your first project. build up slowly.

The list of post processors was taken from my own MeshCAM installation. 1. There will be a difference, actual times will vary depending on complexity of the job and power of your computer. 2. You may need to change the file extension - different controllers expect different file extensions...
