The long-standing Topological naming problem has finally been addressed thanks to the joint effort and hard work of several developers. Realthunder’s algorithm has been carefully implemented and improved to work in the master version of FreeCAD.
The Align to selection tool was added, making it possible to enter views normal to faces or following edge directions.
This is one of the features from Solidworks that I missed.
The tnp fix in the realthunder branch were good enough to get me to drop solidworks beginning of the year. Rc4 has a general dimension tool in the sketch bench now (maybe it’s always been there) so no more needing to select specific constraints which is nice, and it swaps automatically between part design and sketch benches. I’ve not messed a lot with referenced edges in rc4, the realthunder branch handled them fairly well with some minor readjustment on things like filets and rounds, this is in all though a huge leap forward.
Huzzah. Can’t wait to try it out.
