New Alibre Design 2011
Features Include:
-
For Industrial Design:
New Sheet Metal Conversion Tools with
Automatic Conversion - imported or
natively designed solids are now able to be
automatically converted into
unfoldable sheet metal parts, so users can
take libraries of dumb solids generated from
other applications and convert them into
fully native, editable sheet metal parts.
Sheet metal parts can also be designed in a
normal part workspace and then converted to
sheet metal later, fast tracking many common
design requirements
-
For Power Users:
Complete Code Rewrite and Native 64-bit
Version for Larger & More Complex Models - Alibre Design 2011 has been completely
rewritten in the C# programming language, in
addition to being re-architected to support
a native 64-bit version of the software.
This enables Alibre power users to make
models of incredible complexity and size,
while providing tremendous performance
benefits.

For Beginners: New
Faster 2D Detailing Framework Avoids
Confusing Toolbars & Dialogs - 2D
detailing is now incredibly fast with the
new in-place editing framework. This
set of tools is hyper-context sensitive,
allowing users to avoid toolbars and
dialogs almost altogether. By clicking
on items, available options are shown
directly at the mouse, and users can
make edits to almost anything in real-time,
without cumbersome dialogs.
“We are tremendously
excited to be able to provide our customers with
this release. More so than in any previous
version, Alibre Design 2011 brings a wonderful
complement of stability, performance, and new
features that will fundamentally enable new
workflows and design practices,” said J. Paul
Grayson, Alibre Chairman and CEO. “As
usual, almost all of the enhancements were
directly driven by our customers. And the
feedback we’ve gotten from the beta program, is
that people are extremely excited.”
