CAD
Thank you very much Doctor!
THAT actually answers my question. I was not aware of that option, and now that I am, I may decide to act on it. I guess I was so ready for X-CAD to turn out to be NOTHING that I was glad to just see that it is something at all. I am still curious as to what dadkins uses, since he gave me no other options.
whether I will play with Alibre Design Express anymore? I don't know. As I mentioned, there isn't anything I'm worried about them finding out.
Alibre had a great marketing campaign, but perhaps we will see that it hurts them more than helps them in the future, due to the nature of the product.
I hope that Alibre either get's smart, or gets sunk.
Thank You All!  |

»[Free] Free 3d cad to first 100,000
Qutoe of entire post:
"Don't start with you? Nothing was directed towards you, unless you have a vested interest in Alibre.
This software is bordering on malware. No CAD software needs to call home constantly, period. If you want *REAL* CAD software, AutoCAD. I bet it won't call home the whole time you have it open either.
Don't get me started on Linux, you want to use it, deal with it. No Linux Distro has anything that will do what I wish it to do. But this is about the Alibre, not Linux/open source.
Use this crap if you wish. It's adware and neutered, nothing like what was stated it would be.
Your choice. Live with it." |

Considering if you google for "Alibre CAD" the 2nd and 3rd results are this thread, I'd say it will hurt them or at least forewarn potential victims users of the true potential of this software.

How stupid is that? 100.000 angry people? There are about 50 angry people and they all write in this forum...
If the deal is a scam, how come 47.000 more people registred since 1'st of august? |

The original promise of full featured software to the first 100,000 was not delivered. That made a lot of people angry.
Don't assume that just because there are no angry people in the Alibre forums that they don't exist. If you're not a fanboy or you complain, they remove your post and ban you. I noticed that many people in the Alibre forum think we just went away. They have no clue.
As for the last 47,000 (if that's even a real number) they are getting what's being offered, a feature limited demo that calls home. Not a promise of something else.
If you have no privacy concerns and security is not an issue, you fall into the demographic that Alibre is targeting. Sadly, that's still too many users. Hang out in some security forums and check out the people posting HJT logs. These are generally users from the same demographic group. |
