Alibre Design 2011

Alibre Design 2011's improvements and features include a full port of the code to C#, solid part into sheet metal, 2D Detailing Framework without toolbars & dialogs, virtual intersection dimensioning, automatic part re-orientation, new hole presets, multi-plane creation and keyboard shortcuts.

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.
  • For Beginners: New Faster 2D Detailing Framework Avoids Confusing Toolbars & Dialogs - 2D detailing with 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.
