What's new

  • Inside reverse arrows: Annotations tab › "Add inside reverse arrow" places an S-shaped
    arrow from a corner to where it lands. Where the corner goes in between the layers, the arrow
    is drawn dashed. Drag the handles on its two bends to change its shape.
  • More arrow styles: the annotation style window has an Arrows tab. Choose the heads of
    valley and mountain fold arrows and the shape and fill of push arrows, and let valley fold
    arrows come from behind the paper.
  • Export step images: File › Export step images saves every step as an SVG or PNG file. The
    Step tab's Advanced section exports one step.
  • Import several crease patterns at once: Add step › Import files adds them as Fold steps,
    in the order of their file names. One Undo takes them all out again.
  • The Add step window opens at once, also for large models. While the program is idle, it
    prepares the suggested next step, so that step is usually ready by the time you add it.
  • Face lines and the model outline are now drawn over reference lines, so they stay unbroken.
    This changes the look of existing projects too. To get the old look back, choose Annotation
    style › Lines › Reference lines › "Over face lines".
  • Large models compute much faster, and redrawing a model after turning it is faster too.
    Projects with many reference lines take less space.

Fixed

  • Fold lines that cross a crease the same step unfolds (as in an open-and-squash) are drawn
    completely and in the right place. Such a line now has one part per layer: if you had
    changed its settings, set them again on each part.
  • Reference-line ends follow the drawn faces exactly, and a reference line that can't be placed
    is left out instead of being drawn as a short stray line.
  • Moving a step next to a precrease no longer puts the precrease on the wrong pair of steps.
  • The colour picker no longer takes on the colour being picked.
  • macOS: updates also install when ODM was installed for all users (in the Applications
    folder). The Mac asks for an administrator password. This works from 1.2.0 on: if you
    installed 1.1 for all users, its update to 1.2.0 still fails, so please download 1.2.0 from
    the website once.
  • When an update can't be installed, the message now says why this can happen and that you can
    install the new version from the website.

Projects made with an earlier version redraw their steps once when you first open them.

On a Mac, macOS asks you to approve ODM once: System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway.
