New sketch features:
|
2017-04-05 18:49:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* Extrude, lathe, translate and rotate groups can use the "assembly"
|
2016-05-03 07:44:10 +00:00
|
|
|
boolean operation, to increase performance.
|
2017-04-05 18:49:18 +00:00
|
|
|
* The solid model of extrude and lathe groups can be suppressed,
|
|
|
|
|
for splitting a single model in multiple parts to export,
|
|
|
|
|
or if only the generated entities are desired, without the mesh.
|
2016-10-11 16:46:42 +00:00
|
|
|
* Translate and rotate groups can create n-dimensional arrays using
|
|
|
|
|
the "difference" and "assembly" boolean operations.
|
2016-11-17 04:30:54 +00:00
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
constraining the width of text.
|
2016-11-29 16:49:20 +00:00
|
|
|

|
2017-03-13 01:12:58 +00:00
|
|
|
This replaces the "style → background image" feature.
|
2016-10-30 10:26:31 +00:00
|
|
|
* Irrelevant points (e.g. arc center point) are not counted when estimating
|
|
|
|
|
the bounding box used to compute chord tolerance.
|
2017-01-11 13:59:07 +00:00
|
|
|
* When adding a constraint which has a label and is redundant with another
|
|
|
|
|
constraint, the constraint is added as a reference, avoiding an error.
|
2016-11-21 17:05:43 +00:00
|
|
|
* Datum points can be copied and pasted.
|
2018-04-07 08:34:36 +00:00

|
|
use the current viewport projection.
|
2016-07-04 06:02:30 +00:00
|
|
|

* Q3D: [Q3D](https://github.com/q3k/q3d/) triangle meshes can now be
|
|
|
|
|
exported. This format allows to easily hack on triangle mesh data created
|
|
|
|
|
in SolveSpace, supports colour information and is more space efficient than
|
|
|
|
|
most other formats.

|
|
|
|
"view → set to full scale".
|
2016-08-01 14:00:00 +00:00
|
|
|
* When zooming to fit, constraints are also considered.

|
|
|
|
|
the entity from the current group is selected.
|
|
|
|
|
* When dragging an entity that shares a place with other entities,
|
|
|
|
|
the entity from a request is selected. For example, dragging a point on
|
|
|
|
|
a face of an extrusion coincident with the source sketch plane will
|
|
|
|
|
drag the point from the source sketch.
|
2018-07-12 18:58:44 +00:00
|
|
|

Rewrite equations generated for pt-on-line constraints.
Before this commit, pt-on-line constraints are buggy. To reproduce,
extrude a circle, then add a datum point and constrain it to the
axis of the circle, then move it. The cylinder will collapse.
To quote Jonathan:

> the unconstrained extrusion depth going to zero, and (b) retract

Indeed, this commit implements the latter solution: it introduces
an additional free parameter. The point being coincident with
the start of the line corresponds to the parameter being zero, and
point being coincident with the end corresponds to one).
In effect, instead of constraining two of three degrees of freedom
(for which the equations do not exist because of the hairy ball
theorem), it constrains three and adds one more.

|
|
Bugs fixed:
|
|
|
|
|
* A point in 3d constrained to any line whose length is free no longer
|
|
|
|
|
causes the line length to collapse.
|
2016-11-27 08:43:21 +00:00
|
|
|
* Curve-line constraints (in 3d), parallel constraints (in 3d), and
|
|
|
|
|
same orientation constraints are more robust.
|
2017-02-02 03:48:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* Adding some constraints (vertical, midpoint, etc) twice errors out
|
2016-10-22 15:08:41 +00:00
|
|
|
immediately, instead of later and in a confusing way.
|
2017-02-02 03:48:54 +00:00
|
|
|
* Constraining a newly placed point to a hovered entity does not cause
|
|
|
|
|
spurious changes in the sketch.
|
2017-01-20 03:05:03 +00:00
|
|
|
* Points highlighted with "Analyze → Show Degrees of Freedom" are drawn
|
|
|
|
|
on top of all other geometry.
|
2017-03-21 15:47:59 +00:00
|
|
|
* A step rotate/translate group using a group forced to triangle mesh
|
|
|
|
|
as a source group also gets forced to triangle mesh.
|
2017-04-12 04:51:23 +00:00
|
|
|
* Paste Transformed with a negative scale does not invert arcs.
|
2018-07-22 18:56:28 +00:00
|
|
|
* The tangent arc now modifies the original entities instead of deleting
|
|
|
|
|
them, such that their constraints are retained.
|
2019-05-08 22:53:25 +00:00
|
|
|
* When linking a sketch file, missing custom styles are now imported from
|
2019-02-19 10:42:14 +00:00
|
|
|
the linked file.

New sketch features:
|
|
|
|
|
* Lathe groups create circle and face entities.
|
|
|
|
|
* New toolbar button for creating lathe groups.
|
|
|
|
|
* Chord tolerance is separated into two: display chord tolerance (specified
|
|
|
|
|
in percents, relative to model bounding box), and export chord tolerance
|
|
|
|
|
(specified in millimeters as absolute value).
|
|
|
|
|
* Bezier spline points can be added and removed after the spline is created.
|
|
|
|
|
* When an unconstrained extrusion is switched between "union" and
|
|
|
|
|
"difference", its normal is flipped.
|
|
|
|
|
* Groups can be added in the middle of the stack. Note that this results
|
|
|
|
|
in files incompatible with version 2.0.
|
|
|
|
|
* Active group can be removed.
|
|
|
|
|
* Removing an imported group does not cause all subsequent groups to also
|
|
|
|
|
be removed.
|
|
|
|
|
* When a new group with a solid is created, the color is taken from
|
|
|
|
|
a previous group with a solid, if any.
|
|
|
|
|
* Entities in a newly active group do not become visible.
|
|
|
|
|
* When entities are selected, "Zoom to fit" zooms to fit only these
|
|
|
|
|
entities and not the entire sketch.
|
|
|
|
|
* Zero-length edges are reported with a "zero-length error", not
|
|
|
|
|
"points not all coplanar".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New constraint features:
|
|
|
|
|
* Height of the font used for drawing constraint labels can be changed.
|
|
|
|
|
* New constraint, length difference, placed with J.
|
|
|
|
|
(Patch by Peter Ruevski)
|
|
|
|
|
* Horizontal/vertical constraints are automatically added if a line segment
|
|
|
|
|
is close enough to being horizontal/vertical. This can be disabled by
|
|
|
|
|
holding Ctrl.
|
|
|
|
|
* Reference dimensions and angles can be placed with Shift+D and Shift+N.
|
|
|
|
|
* Copying and pasting entities duplicates any constraints that only involve
|
|
|
|
|
entities in the clipboard, as well as selected comments.
|
|
|
|
|
* Diameter constraints can be shown as radius.
|
|
|
|
|
* The "pi" identifier can be used in expressions.
|
|
|
|
|
* Constraint labels can be snapped to grid.

|
|
* Integer angles are displayed without trailing zeroes.
|
|
|
|
|
* Angle constraints have proper reference lines and arrowheads.
|
|
|
|
|
* Extension lines are drawn for point-line distance constraints.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New solver features:
|
|
|
|
|
* Sketches with redundant and unsolvable constraints are distinguished.
|
|
|
|
|
* New group setting, "allow redundant constraints". Note that it makes
|
|
|
|
|
the solver less stable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
New rendering and styling features:
|
|
|
|
|
* New line style parameter: stippling, based on ISO 128.
|
|
|
|
|
* Outlines of solids can be drawn in a particular style (by default, thick
|
|
|
|
|
lines) controlled by the "Show outline of solid model" button.
|
|
|
|
|
* Occluded edges can be drawn in a particular style (by default, stippled
|
|
|
|
|
with short dashes) controlled by the "Show hidden lines" button.
|
|
|
|
|
* Solids can be made transparent.
|
|

New export/import features:
|
|
|
|
|
* The old "import" command (for .slvs files) is renamed to "link".
|
|
|
|
|
* If a linked .slvs file is not found, first the relative path recorded
|
|
|
|
|
in the .slvs file is checked and then the absolute path; this is
|
|
|
|
|
an inversion of the previously used order. If it is still not found,
|
|
|
|
|
a dialog appears offering to locate it.
|
|
|
|
|
* DXF and DWG files can be imported, with point-coincident, horizontal and
|
|
|
|
|
vertical constraints automatically inferred from geometry, and distance
|
|
|
|
|
and angle constraints created when a dimension placed against geometry
|
|
|
|
|
exists.
|
|
|
|
|
* Triangle mesh can be exported for viewing in the browser through WebGL.
|
|
|
|
|
* Export dialogs remember the last file format used, and preselect it.
|
|
|
|
|
* Exported DXF files have exact circles, arcs and splines instead of
|
|
|
|
|
a piecewise linear approximation (unless hidden line removal was needed).
|
|
|
|
|
* Exported DXF files preserve color and line thickness.
|
|
|
|
|
* In exported DXF files, constraints are represented as DXF dimensions,
|
|
|
|
|
instead of piecewise linear geometry.
|
|
|
|
|
* When exporting 2d views, overlapping lines are removed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other new features:
|
|
|
|
|
* Native Linux (GTK 2 and GTK 3) and Mac OS X ports.
|
|
|
|
|
* Automatically save and then restore sketches if SolveSpace crashes.
|
|

(Patch by Marc Britten)
|
|
|
|
|
* Unicode is supported everywhere (filenames, group names, TTF text,
|
|
|
|
|
comments), although RTL scripts and scripts making heavy use of ligatures
|
|
|
|
|
are not rendered correctly.
|
|
|
|
|
* The vector font is grid-fitted when rendered on screen to make it easier
|
|
|
|
|
to read regardless of its size.
