Stay away from Alibre unless you're trying to teach 3D parametric modeling. If all you're trying to do is carve names and make a few 2.5D parts, then it's like using a dump truck to pick up a single sack of gravel. It's a great application but I am a software developer and I found it extremely complicated to get started with, as I'd expect it to be given what it is designed to be capable of. |
