We don’t always write indi­vid­ual blog posts about sin­gle new fea­tures that have been merged into the week­ly devel­op­ment ver­sions of FreeCAD, but this one, deserves a spe­cial mention. 

Lots of peo­ple have been eager­ly and patient­ly wait­ing the arrival of cos­met­ic threads in fact the arrival of this clos­es an issue that was raised in July 2013! @Alfrix has worked hard to bring this fea­ture to fruition and we look for­ward to peo­ple test­ing the cos­met­ic thread options when using the hole tool­ing in Part Design. We are delight­ed that Alfrix can claim a boun­ty pay­ment which they plan to use to update their lap­top to make code com­pil­ing a lit­tle more stream­lined, a per­fect win win!
