Alibre Toolbox

An Excel-driven part library with dynamic configuration suitable for standard parts or custom parts.

Local Parameters

Design data accessible within a file that drives geometry such as dimensions. Can include equations.

Global Parameters

Design data accessible across many files that drives geometry. Can include equations.

Design Metadata

Customizable metadata about parts such as approval date or cost center.

Excel-Driven Design

An Excel plugin ties cell data to local or global parameters. Make updates in Excel and designs update.

Design Configurations

Easily create part variants and house their data in the same design file.

Part Generator

Create meta-parts with design data and logic stored securely in a database. Configure parts on-the-fly.

Material Library

A material library that you can customize as needed. Share materials with others via export and import.

Thread Library

An extensive library of standard threads managed in Excel that is fully customizable.

Alibre Toolbox

 

An easily extensible library of standard components and associated data in Excel. Create libraries of components that can be configured and inserted on-the-fly during assembly creation.

Full standard part libraries in ANSI, ISO, DIN, JIS, and GB will be included - coming soon.

Global Parameters

 

Global Parameters are standalone variable files that can house data and equations. Reference these files during part creation and consume the variables in them to drive local part geometry.

Updating the standalone variable file will update all parts that reference it.

Design Metadata

 

Parts and assemblies have meta data cards with default and customizable properties. This data can be inserted into the component's line-item in a BOM, inserted into dynamic fields in a drawing, or queried through Alibre Script.

Excel-Driven Design

 

Maintain entire datasets in Excel and take advantage of Excel's extremely flexible data processing, data integration, and equation capabilities. Push this data into 3D models and update them as needed.

Use Excel's many functions to perform validation, such as determining when calculated values are outside of the desired range by coloring them red.

Design Configurations

 

If a part has variants that all share core design features, consider using Configurations to manage the data. With Configurations you can create variants and manage design data, feature suppression, and part properties at the configuration-level.

Switch between the desired variant in an assembly by choosing it from the design tree.

Material Library

 

A robust material library with tons of materials out of the box. Easily create new materials and organize them in a folder structure. For each material, enter various mechanical properties as desired.

Import, export, and backup libraries or subsections of libraries for easy management and sharing.

Thread Library

 

A robust material library with tons of materials out of the box. Easily create new materials and organize them in a folder structure. For each material, enter various mechanical properties as desired.

Import, export, and backup libraries or subsections of libraries for easy management and sharing.
