FreeShape 1.8.3 — free, offline, Onshape-style parametric CAD for Windows, Mac and Linux.

What's new

  • Linux fix: the 3D view no longer breaks on Wayland desktops (most modern Ubuntu / Fedora / KDE setups). Sketches and models used to vanish with "Attempt to retrieve context when no valid context". Thanks to the Reddit user who sent the error log.
  • Pick sketches from the feature list for Loft, Extrude and other features, like Onshape — also works for hidden sketches.
  • Fillets and chamfers that are too big now give an error saying the largest size that fits, instead of making a broken, overlapping part.

Download
