Milli Cad 0.2.0 for Windows

Milli Cad 0.2.0 for Windows (was Milli Cad) 10/11 (64-bit). One file, no installer.

What changed since 0.1:

• Your sign-in is now stored encrypted on your PC (Windows DPAPI), never in plain text.
• Much cheaper jobs: the server now keeps the conversation in the AI's cache between tool rounds, so a long job no longer pays full price for its whole history on every step (a report that cost R50 should now cost a few rand). Under each answer you see the cost of that step, the running cost of the job, and your credit left.
• New name: Milli Cad (same product, same account and credit; settings move over by themselves).
• The two licensed CAD programs are now called F3D CAD and SLDPRT CAD in the panel and in the AI's answers.
• One panel at a time; tick boxes in reports; UTF-8 output from scripts.
• FreeCAD: no more freeze when FreeCAD thinks a mouse button is still held; saved files no longer show as unsaved (*).
• Reports: pictures scaled to fit the page; the report is made once.
• Scripts run in UTF-8; the TOOLS folder is shown as TOOLS/... only.
• Short report in one go (no template re-reading), report folders: one part in its own out folder, several parts in Reports\out.
• Asking about a CAD program no longer switches the chat to that program's rules.
• Install for me: the Setup check installs Java 21, KiCad 10 and Freerouting for you (one click, progress shown); Help gives 3 plain steps; items your CAD program does not need are folded away.
• FreeCAD add-in goes into the folder FreeCAD really loads from (1.0 and 1.1), and the Setup check only says installed when it is there.
• Invoices: lock and backup files are no longer counted as work; amounts rounded to cents; every part's reports and previews go in the part's own out folder.
• A script that fails is reported as a failure (also in the log); Stop is logged; pictures no longer flood the log; no more pymupdf warnings in script output.
• Report button: a PDF report of everything in the chat only when you ask for it, short (cheap) or detailed technical (costs more); no more unasked reports after every part.
• One FreeCAD window: Milli Cad works in the FreeCAD that is already open (its small add-in installs itself) and never opens a second one; it asks before closing a document with unsaved changes.
• Stop that stops: the Stop button, or typing "stop", cancels the running step within seconds, also while the CAD program is busy.
• Lifelike pictures: a request for a realistic or 3D picture gives a shaded view, never a long render that freezes the CAD program.
• Job costing and invoices: under the gear, enter your hourly rate, electricity, PC wear, overheads, markup and VAT. The "Job R.." button in the chat then shows what the job cost you (AI, time, power, wear, overheads) and the price for your customer, and makes a branded invoice PDF that shows only the description (3D model, drawing, report, STEP file...) and the amounts.
• Your company: name, logo, contact details and colour under the gear. Every report and drawing PDF Milli Cad makes carries them. Details filled in during a chat are picked up at once.
• Reports are short and quick by default; ask for a "detailed" or "technical" report when you need more.
• The F3D CAD program works from the panel through its small bridge add-in (Settings > Setup check: Install button).
• SLDPRT CAD (early access): proven on the 2026 Makers edition; Milli Cad looks first (running, starting, ready, crashed), then acts.
• Paste a screenshot straight into the message box with Ctrl+V or right-click > Paste.
• Setup check with Download and "Help me install" buttons; a reminder at the start of each chat until the helpers are installed.
• Change password under the gear; "Forgot password? Reset by e-mail" on the sign-in page.
• The pin at the top (keep the panel above other windows) shows clearly whether it is on (orange) or off (grey). "Back to chat" at the top of Settings too.
