InCad 0.12.0: test build for macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 / 11 (x64), FreeCAD 1.1 (tested with 1.1.3).

macOS: InCad-0.12.0-2026-10-26-544f55b-macOS-arm64.zip. Install as before (see README.txt in the archive).

Windows: InCad-0.12.0-2026-10-26-544f55b-Windows-x64.zip, for FreeCAD 1.1 for Windows. Unzip it, quit FreeCAD and run install.bat (uninstall.bat removes it). Send the log (⚙ ▸ Show Log File) with every report.

Both archives have the user manual and the presentation for their system (EN, RU).

0.12.0

Mirror Solid; sketch Mirror that follows its original; InCad's own Symmetric; Parameters window; Split Gap; Report a Bug.

Improvements

  • Mirror Solid (3D Model > Pattern): a mirrored copy of a whole Solid as a new Solid. Select the Solid (with several,
    click the one), Mirror Solid, then click the mirror plane - an origin or work plane, or a flat face. The copy
    follows the original - every change, every feature added later - and takes features of its own.
  • Mirror Solid > Result: New Solid, Join (the mirror image joined into the same Solid: a half made whole) or Cut (the
    image cut out of it). Mirror: Whole, or only the part on One side / the Other side of the plane - a part crossing
    the plane becomes symmetric with Join.
  • Break Mirror Link (right-click a Mirror Solid row or its Solid): the copy keeps its shape and stops following. On a
    feature Mirror it keeps the mirrored material as it is.
  • Boolean can use a mirrored Solid as a tool on its own original (Join, Cut, Intersect): the copy then follows the
    original up to the step before that Boolean.
  • Sketch > Mirror: select the shapes, Mirror, then click the mirror line - any line (also one of the shape's own), the
    X or Y axis, or a point. The copy keeps the original's size and follows it, and no dimension is copied. Right-click
    the copy > Break Mirror Link frees it.
  • Sketch > Symmetric is InCad's own: two points, two lines or two circles, then the symmetry line; it never picks a
    dimension, and stays on until Esc.
  • Shift-click a sketch line: its whole outline is selected at once, and shows selected.
  • Parameters window (View > Windows > Parameters): every parameter with its value, result and the features that use
    it; add, remove, rename, Find, Delete Unused.
  • Split > Gap (in 0.05 mm steps) and Gap from: Both, This Solid or New Solids.
  • Settings (gear) > Report a Bug: describe the problem, attach the log, and it goes to InCad's issues on GitHub (this
    build opens GitHub's New Issue page).
  • Right-click menus show only what applies to what is under the pointer; the sketch menu is shorter (Constraints
    (n)... opens the list).
  • Spur Gears / Worm Gear handles are bigger, coloured by axis, and easier to grab.
  • The manual's Known limits list what Mirror Solid and clearances can't do yet.

Bug fixes

  • The Parameters button only moved the focus to the small panel: it opens the Parameters window now.
  • Symmetric sometimes caught a dimension's point instead of the sketch point.
  • Mirror of a chain failed ("other constraints fight it") when its points lay on the mirror line.
  • Boolean > Cut with a clearance refused a tool that can't be grown (an Emboss, a thread): it is cut with Clearance 0
    mm now, and the status line says so.
  • Sketch Offset lit only the line clicked, not the whole outline it takes.
