Again, showing the product engineering roots of Alibre. This software was made to work efficiently and design products. By the way, I didn't know about the reposition dimension tool. But I had come across the ability to change a dimension in sketch and have it propagate to the 3D model. When I first saw that in Solidworks, I thought, "Whoever came up with that is a genius" When I saw that ability in Alibre I thought, "Are they sure they got the price they sold it to me right?" 😂🤣😄😅
The features shown here are for the pro and expert licenses. It's still possible to have drawings such as this in Alibre Atom, but the time saver tools are only for the higher licenses.
This assumes that sketches and their dimensions define the desired manufacturing method and also assumes that an initial sketch at early stage modelling can know the final shape and predicted way that part has to be made to meet it's functional requirements - to my knowledge, that's not functional part detailing but rather just a definition of extrusions or cuts that produced the final shape. Draftsmen were expert in manufacturing knowledge to decide dimensions / tolerances/ geometric tolerances etc based on the parts function and role in the assembly. The devil is in the details...some of those dimensions are nonsense and a bit of a rubbish way to define a part - sorry, this sort of blitzing a view with dimensions without thought of the maker, Inspector or the parts functional aspects doesn't sit well with me.
Well sure, people model off of a datum system all the time. This in fact is emphasized as standard practice in other platforms too, such as SolidWorks. Joe Richter from GoEngineer teaches SolidWorks classes and essentially says you should be modeling off of a datum system and importing those dimensions to the drawing, not adding dimensions manually. Sure you may disagree with the dimensions in the video, but if you really expect an expertly reviewed part that is ready to manufacture and reviewed just to show how to use a time saver tool, I think you should manage your expectations for the scope and purpose of this demonstration.
@@cyclist_daily9327 you go with what somebody else says and thinks if you like. I started out on the drawing board and the making of a good detail drawing is still very important even today. The principle of auto spacing dimensions does assist I'll agree - it's not new though, I was doing something similar over 30 years ago.
Great instruction.
Exhibiting some real muscles here. Nice to know for covering busy schedules.
Happy birthday to the little one.
Happy Birthday to your daughter!
Yes! Of course! Happy Birthday to your daughter, man! All the best!
Thank you, and fortunately I made it with much time to spare thanks to all the time saving tools Alibre has
Very well sir
So nice this lecture sir

Shhhh don't tell them That. 😂
@@flypic1098 Hahahahahahaha
Absolutely genius! great video
Fantastic! Hope it works in the Alibre Atom3D that I am using on trial.

Handy, when you have 400 2D plates for a project to do.
