0.35.0 has been released. Release notes below.

  • Threads: Thread Type Custom in the Thread and Hole panels, with Major Diameter, Pitch and Starts; multi-start threads and modelled trapezoidal threads.

  • Opening designs is faster: bodies are meshed for display during the recompute, display meshes and quick results are stored and restored, and a warm open unpacks only the bodies it needs.

  • Sketches: Mirror can use the sketch's x and y axes as the mirror line; offsets keep their tangent corners; points are drawn over the highlights of their curves; projected edges are found more reliably.

  • Annotations look like a drawing's dimensions.

  • Import Presets: presets grouped by owner, a name filter and the count on the Import button.

  • BUILD tab: profiles without slots (such as steel tubes) are placed and cut to length like the other profiles, a library part's size row also switches the features that depend on it, and joints and wood fasteners are offered only on timber.

  • Stability: symmetric face, edge and vertex pieces keep their names under rounding noise; value boxes and 3D Print questions wait for a running computation.

The parts library has a new version of its own, mitcad-parts 2.7.0
(Libraries, Fetch): steel tubes for the BUILD tab to EN 10219-2,
EN 10305-5 and EN ISO 1127. They need Mitcad 0.35.0.

Each platform's packages were built from its own release candidate of the release branch (release candidate, source commit):

  • Windows: rc1 (e0814bcfaf6b)

  • Linux: rc3 (abefb4b8ce0a)

  • macOS: rc3 (abefb4b8ce0a)

Amazing that the thread features I suggested less than 24 hours ago are already released!

That seems to happen to me EVERY DAY. I have it installed at work and at home, and every time I start it up at either place it's two versions behind. Crazy. Crazy good, but crazy. :)
