- Parameters and Configurations are on the Model, Sheet Metal and Sketch tabs again, as well as Manage; Parameters opens without switching tabs (#3937).
- Sheet Metal is a tab in every document again, with New Sketch first and Convert to Sheet Metal in the Create menu (#3937, #3946). The Surface tab leads with New Sketch too (#3964).
- Finish Sketch is back at the bottom of the sketch palette as a full-width button (#3937), and on the Sketch tab it sits right after the last sketch panel instead of alone at the far right (#3958).
- Browser: long names end in "…" inside the card, with the full name in the tooltip (#3940).
- Solve Sketch no longer shows up in command search: sketches solve themselves after every edit (#3940).
- Esc Esc finishes the sketch: two quick presses of Escape (within 0.4 s) finish it; with a tool out, the first press puts the tool down. A double Escape on a sketch you added nothing to removes it…

What changed: recent Solidcraft releases
33 stable releases in the last 90 days · Full changelog
- Threads: hovering a long helical edge, such as a STEP thread, takes 29 ms instead of freezing the window for 7.6 s, and a design with such threads no longer keeps loading forever (#3818).
- IGES import: a revolved arc becomes a cap, not a whole sphere (#3813); trim curves with reversed pieces no longer drop their faces (#3359).
- Languages: Dutch, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Indonesian, Romanian and Hungarian (#3826).
- Browser app: designs saved on your computer reopen from the recent list after a reload, and files that no longer exist are forgotten (#3834).
- Workflow: Shift+R repeats the last tool or dialog (#3160); parameter autocomplete matches anywhere in the name, with prefix matches first (#2849).
- Sketch: dragging fully determined sketch geometry is skipped instead of attempted (#2199).
Earlier releases
- STEP import takes about 1 minute instead of 22.5: distinct parts are read and oriented in parallel, and each instanced part is oriented and meshed once (#2875, #3046, #3047).
- Reopening a saved design is instant: it opens from the model it was saved with, so getting the geometry back takes 0.15 s instead of 46.6 s. The first parts are on screen in about 1 s and…
- No more "Not responding" while a design opens: the longest frame went from 3 s to 0.13 s.
- Save, Save As and autosave write in the background, so the window stays responsive (#3139, #3146).
- Moving a part takes 0.4 s instead of 12.7 s (#3104).
- Placed copies of a part share one display plan instead of each being meshed again (#3127).
- Orbit: orbiting about a picked point keeps that point under the cursor in perspective views too; before, it drifted off and the model swung about the camera (#2753).
- Orbit: fixes orbiting about a picked point, which turned the camera instead of the part in 0.16.0 (reverts #2142).
- Sketch: fillet and chamfer show a live preview of the rounded corner (#2044); dragging moves only what the constraints need, not the whole sketch (#2060); open and untied profile ends are marked…
- Modelling: Boundary Surface through loops of three or four curves and through curve networks (#2129); an extrude taper works together with a start offset (#2313); a single hole follows its sketch…
- Agent chat: pop it out into its own window and dock it back (#1745); attach files and pictures to a message (#1744), shown in the shared picture viewer in any format (#2554); Send stays in view…
- Look and feel: custom colour themes from theme files, with Gruvbox built in (#2405); hidden items grey out in the browser, and folders keep their own visibility (#2308); the toolbar fills the…
- Navigation: Preferences ▸ reverse horizontal pan (#2047); with Orbit around: point under the cursor, orbiting over empty space pivots about the view centre (#2142); 3D mice on macOS through the…
- Browser app: self-host it with Docker; the image is published to ghcr.io (#2033).
