3D CAD - Standard Workspace Setups and Creation

-
Creating (a) Standard Part File for efficiency

This tutorial is about making a default part file that you can open in future – knowing that specific key parameters are already there – minimizing the amount of repetitious work in the daily routine of using Alibre Design Xpress and Alibre Design – Basic, Pro, or Expert.

• You will learn starting the Alibre Design program, and three ways to open a new part file.
• You will then learn about setting up properties: materials, dimensions, & applying options.
• You will also learn about workspace options, and parameters available for working simply.

Note:
It is assumed you already have Alibre Design Xpress or other versions of Alibre Design installed,
and that you have a working knowledge of windows and keyboard shortcuts.

Step 1: 3D CAD - Start Alibre Design, Open New Part

-
On your windows Desktop, Double Click the Alibre Design Icon.

When it opens, In the Home Window, Click the New Part icon,
- or select File, New, Part,
-- or use the Hotkey selection of Ctrl+Shift+T.
