This week in FreeCAD development: Sketcher chennes made it possible to mark specific commands as Stable, Experimental, or Development to control their visibility in the UI based on how mature the code is ( PR#32740 ). Group constraints are “Development”, Text geometry is “Experimental”. UI for selecting what’s visible will follow. alfrix fixed a regression where pressing Tab before entering a dimension would cause focus to move after the first digit ( PR#32709 ). Part and PartDesign shubhrai23 fixed a bug where create a clone of a project would place the clone in the root of the project instead as a child object of the select dpart ( PR#31978 ). PaddleStroke added point patterns as part of work on arrays in ( PR#32763 ). alfrix fixed a bug where the Hole Parameter window would not show the custom head value after project save and reopen ( PR#32889 ). maxwxyz fixed a regression where dressup previews would be rendered in the wrong color ( PR#32748 ). greggjaskiewicz patched the Part code to preserve seam edges during face refinement to maintain closed wires ( PR#32730 ). aw-engineer made it possible to use SubShapeBinders as Profile in FeaturePipe ( PR#31786 ). Assembly PaddleStroke added commands and the shared task panel for LinkArray tools ( PR#32688 ) and integrated the tools into Assembly ( PR#32762 ). CAM This workbench continues to be probably the most actively developed one these days. 19 pull requests were merged, including these patches: sliptonic made the first step towards support for tilted workplanes and made it possible to have shared workplanes held by the Job and manage them ( PR#32722 ). He also added a Machine-based postprocessor for Heidenhain ( PR#32863 ), and fixed several bugs ( PR#32043 , PR#32513 , PR#32615 , PR#32366 ). tarman3 added depth parameters checks to Pocket Shape ( PR#32573 ), made LeadInOut skip zero length plunge moves ( PR#32257 ), exposed a bunch of new properties in the Helix task panel ( PR#31620 ), and fixed the processing of vertical faces in Profile in certain scenarios ( PR#31259 ). Dimitris75 fixed several bugs in the planar surfaces code ( PR#32766 ). Connor added the wire EDM toolhead type ( PR#32485 ). davidgilkaufman fixed an flipped arc bug in OffsetWire ( PR#32703 ) and fixed incorrect cycle time estimates on long, shallow horizontal-speed ramp entrances ( PR#32170 ). FEM marioalexis84 fixed the usability of the FEM unit scheme and added the momentum unit N⋅mm ( PR#31013 ). oursland fixed a crash ( PR#32871 ). BIM Roy-043 prevented the conversion of temporary Draft objects in Native IFC ( PR#31592 ), fixed the flipping of the default structure extrusion direction ( PR#32244 ), several IFC import issues ( PR#31940 , PR#31801 ), and a few more bugs. He also made it possible for walls based on lines or sketches to handle expressions for the Length property ( PR#32806 ). TechDraw WandererFan fixed section cut shape positioning ( PR#31921 ) and PAT hatches and color changes not rendering on the page ( PR#32791 ). mohamed-khairy-swe fixed centering in balloon rectangular shape with separators ( PR#31591 ). MortenVajhoj added a Screen mode to help deal with situations where you zoom in on complex models, and bits of geometry start obstructing other bits of geometry ( PR#32180 ). He also made it possible to move view TD view captions around (with snapping) and edit them directly on the page ( PR#32216 ): Other changes For people who don’t use the toolbar all that much, maxwxyz added a Create group under Tools with commands for creating a new part, part datums, a new group, and other items ( PR#31435 ). pavliha added support for the pinch gesture and two-finger scroll panning on Apple trackpads ( PR#32030 ). Lgt2x started preparing the code for dropping Qt5 compatibility ( PR#29470 ). Additional improvements and fixes were contributed by 007stevendigar-lgtm, 3x380V, AjinkyaDahale, alfrix, awgrover, chennes, Connor, davesrocketshop, davidgilkaufman, ElementW, jffmichi, Irvinwop, kadet1090, Kuzma30, Lgt2x, Lokestrom, maxwxyz, mnesarco, oursland, PaddleStroke, shubhrai23, tritao, WandererFan, and wmayer.
