Guys (& Gals),
I've been Xpress'ing in the evenings and am getting my head around this CAD thing. Since the free one does not come with a parts library, that is one of my first tasks. I've built a bolt or two, a nut, a T-nut, along with some router-specific parts. I started this thread as a possible venu to discuss parts-design but more importantly, to SHARE OUR PARTS. I'll post what I have as soon as I fix a couple of problems I have with the ones I've already created.
In making bolts, I've tried to add threads but am unable to get the 'OK' on the dialog to be enabled. That tells me I'm not providing all the necessary info, etc. for Alibre to add the threads. Any insight here would help.
Also, In building a parts lib., for a given bolt size (1/4-20 for instance) do I have to make several parts, one for each length I'll be using? Thanks for your relentless help.
