Frame Builder V2.3 Release by NateLiquidGravity
Insert profiles into Alibre Design from the user’s library of profiles. Build frames, miter, trim, and extend profiles! Now with the ability to update frames to base geometry changes!
Updates/Fixes:
- Rebuilding corners should now be faster.
- A new miter corner creation dialog was built to allow automatic jumping to next frame member input after the first frame member is selected.
- Automatically jump to the next input after selection for some inputs of the frame member creation dialog.
- Added the ability to delete multiple selected frame members in the Update/Rebuild Members dialog.
- Hold down the Ctrl key when right clicking to select/act on multiple preselected rows.
- Hold down the Shift key when right clicking to select a range and act on multiple rows.
- Some more dialog validation checking was added.
- Fixed an error that occurred when trying to edit a frame member created by edge without using an alignment face.
- Also runs on Alibre Design v28 BETA Build 28121 for testing purposes only.
A few notes:
Frame Builder is not tested or integrated with Alibre PDM and will not be until such time that a public API is released for safely working with the PDM.
Because Frames made in V1.X do not store any of their creation information they are not directly compatible with many of the V2.X features.
V1.X Serial Keys are not valid for V2.X and can’t be installed side-by-side.
If you purchased V1.X Serial Keys there is a reduced price V2.X Upgrade Serial Key available.
Requirements:
Frame Builder Version 2.3 Release now only works on Alibre Design V27 (Builds 27030, 27038, 27039) and on Alibre Design V28 (Builds 28094, 28098).

Trial Serial Number:
A Trial Version can be activated which will only allow creation of 5 parts at a time. After those 5 parts are created you will need to close and restart Frame Builder. Additionally during Update / Rebuild Members the Trial version will always “Confirm Each Change Prior”. I may at any time disable the Trial Serial Number from working.
