Release v0.22.0 · leomoon/mirror_solidcraft

Designs saved in 0.22.0 use format 35 and don't open in 0.21.0 or older.

SolidCraft is open-source parametric 3D CAD in Rust: sketch, constrain, extrude, and change a parameter to watch the timeline rebuild. Website · documentation · try it in the browser · Discord · issues.

Highlights

Render workspace (first release): a new Render tab with GPU rendering, studio lighting, materials, and image export (tangency-labs#6050, tangency-labs#5494).
Frames: a profile library and frame members along sketch lines (tangency-labs#4004).
Holes: place a hole by distances from reference edges, snap to face and round-edge centres, and drag placed holes. Tapped holes gain metric fine, UNC/UNF and G/Rp catalogues (tangency-labs#2931, tangency-labs#2912, tangency-labs#4178).
3D mouse: driver choice, guided calibration, and button mapping (tangency-labs#3825).
Assemblies: the first part is grounded, and free joint chains can be dragged (tangency-labs#2805).
Control channel and MCP are on by default, with a setting to turn them off (tangency-labs#5561).

Mirror and pattern can use a pattern or mirror feature as the source (tangency-labs#3998).
A spherical shell revolves into a solid with a void (tangency-labs#4182).
Extrude switches to To Object when you pick a face, vertex or plane off the profile (tangency-labs#2855).
Press Pull sends curved faces to Offset Face (tangency-labs#3463).
Coil parameters can be shown and edited (tangency-labs#3915).
Pressing a sketch tool's shortcut again cycles its creation modes (tangency-labs#3564).
Equal works with three or more curves (tangency-labs#5139).
Trim cuts a line at its tangent point on a circle (tangency-labs#5163).
The Line tool snaps a diameter through a circle's centre (tangency-labs#4327).
Slots and 2-point circles take typed dimensions (tangency-labs#4318, tangency-labs#3335).
Cancel Sketch leaves a sketch without keeping its changes (tangency-labs#3938).

The browser's view is saved with the design, with an option to hide the origin by default (tangency-labs#1849).
Design tabs can be reordered by dragging (tangency-labs#3188).
Picking a body in the viewport scrolls the browser to it (tangency-labs#3081).
Feature menus gain Rename and Delete (tangency-labs#4342).
Reference geometry can show through bodies (Preferences, off by default) (tangency-labs#2697).
Exploded views export as an animation (tangency-labs#3744).
On Linux, you can choose Wayland or X11 (tangency-labs#3084).
Agent chat can attach the current selection as context (tangency-labs#2288).

Linked components' joints keep their faces after Update Links (tangency-labs#4874).
A rigid joint is no longer saved with the wrong occurrence when two occurrences share a component (tangency-labs#3939).
Renaming parameters, planes and axes keeps the references that use them (tangency-labs#4423, tangency-labs#4354, tangency-labs#4449).
Suppressing a feature keeps later features' body names (tangency-labs#4311).
Deleting an inserted file removes its components and joints (tangency-labs#4113).
DXF writes and reads Béziers at their own degree (tangency-labs#5281).
3MF imports from Bambu Studio name bodies after their objects (tangency-labs#3859).
FreeCAD and Rhino import also work in the browser (tangency-labs#4482).

0.22.0 writes design file format 35 (0.21.0 wrote 34). It opens every earlier design, but 0.21.0 and earlier refuse a design saved by 0.22.0.
