Frame Builder V2.6 Release by NateLiquidGravity

Updates/Fixes:

• Runs on Alibre Design v28.1 Build 28223.
• Added Undo Member ability. Currently only added to Create Member dialog (New button at bottom), but other dialogs will get the ability in the future.
• Better method implemented for gap directions when using Trim/Extend to face. Note: This may cause gaps to flip when Updating/Rebuilding existing corners.
• Bug fixes related to removing members/corners and later reusing their IDs. Now IDs will be retired and not be reused again.

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 2.6 Release now only works on Alibre Design V27 (Builds 27030, 27038, 27039) and on Alibre Design V28 (Builds 28094, 28098, 28126, 28139, 28141, 28223).
It also requires Alibre Script Build 346613 or newer.

Instructions:

This software now requires purchase of a Serial Number or Trial Serial Number to use. For English language version sales please see The Shop. For international sales it is suggested to contact your local Alibre Design reseller as they can help you get a translated version. See below for Trial Serial Number.

Download and run the “Frame Builder V2_6 Installer.exe” and progress through the setup to install into the Alibre Script Library folder.
Next (optionally) download and extract everything from the “Example Profile Library.zip” file where you want to keep the Profiles.
Then Launch Alibre Script in an Alibre Design Assembly and click on “Frame Builder V2_6 Release [Protected]” in the Alibre Script explorer folder “Frame Builder” to run it.
Check out the rest of the setup instructions by reading the help file by clicking the button “Help Info”.
Please read all the help file included before asking any questions – but don’t hesitate to ask if something isn’t working as expected.

Trial:

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. The Serial Number for the Trial Version is no longer needed. The program will install as the Trial Version by default.
