FreeCAD News

This week in FreeCAD development:

Draft

• Roy-043 increased the cen­ter point tol­er­ance for angu­lar dimen­sions, or else end­points that are (almost) equal to the cen­ter would be dis­re­gard­ed (PR#31172).
• maxwxyz fixed Draft input lock­ing so com­mand short­cuts like X and E do not acci­den­tal­ly lock the focused coor­di­nate field (PR#31256).

Sketcher

• Reqre­fu­sion fixed a regres­sion where drag­ging ele­ments would over­con­strain the sketch (PR#30877).
• tri­tao fixed Sketch­er pre­s­e­lec­tion con­flicts where con­straint datum labels or dimen­sion pre­sen­ta­tion lines could take prece­dence over over­lap­ping sketch geom­e­try, mak­ing points, curves, or axes dif­fi­cult to select (PR#30792).
• theo-vt fixed an issue where you couldn’t per­form some oper­a­tions on a sketch opened in one doc­u­ment if anoth­er sketch was opened and closed in a sec­ond doc­u­ment (PR#31302).

CAM

• slip­ton­ic pushed some helper Feeds & Speeds code in prepa­ra­tion for the real F&S code (PR#30078).
• jffmichi fixed a crash in Assem­bly by fix­ing a bug in CAM (PR#31214).
• tarman3 fixed a pre­ci­sion error (PR#28519) and an incor­rect ini­tial stock selec­tion in Dres­sup­Path­Bound­ary (PR#31116).
• awgrover allowed non-sup­port­ed/non-con­form­ing G‑code in the Cus­tom oper­a­tion (PR#31022) and removed the gen­er­a­tion of the F para­me­ter in G0 (PR#31150).

TechDraw

• kevinsmia1939 fixed a crash that occurred when acti­vat­ing the Cir­cle Cen­ter­lines tool with a stale selec­tion (PR#28772).
• Wan­der­erFan fixed the con­ver­sion of a “cir­cle-like” bspline to actu­al cir­cle geom­e­try (PR#30530).

Other changes

• wmay­er fixed a regres­sion where the shape builder’s “Face from edges” option would cre­ate a face on the wrong plane (PR#31141, cher­ry-picked by maxwxyz).
• georgee26 patched the user inter­face to ask just once with an “Apply to all” check­box when delet­ing mul­ti­ple non-emp­ty groups instead of ask­ing the ques­tion mul­ti­ple times (PR#30586).

Addi­tion­al improve­ments and fix­es were con­tributed by AngelGalindo7, Bojan9597, chennes, Con­nor, Ele­men­tW, greg19, j‑hewett, Krrish777, Lgt2x, matthi­as­dan­ner, maxwxyz, Roy-043, tarman3, theo-vt, tri­tao, and wmayer.

If you are inter­est­ed in test­ing the lat­est week­ly build, you can grab it here.
