Новая система помощи
The help system was rewritten and upgraded to display information directly from our Wiki. The system now relies on the Help Addon. When you first use the Help tool or the What's this? tool you will be asked to install it.

Предстоящие улучшения пользовательского интерфейса

 * It is now possible to use the decimal separator belonging to the language specified for the FreeCAD interface. For example on a German Windows, when you set the interface language to English and select the new option Use selected language number format, the dot will be used as the decimal separator. See Preferences. Pull request #6364 Note: For FEM simulations using the dot as decimal separator is highly recommended to get correct results.
 * Two new mouse navigation styles have been added. One based on OpenSCAD, the other on TinkerCAD. Forum discussion OpenSCAD, Forum discussion TinkerCAD, commit 1, commit 2, commit 3.
 * It is now possible to pan the view of the dependency graph with the mouse. Forum discussion, Pull request #4638.
 * Fixed an issue where using tablet pen devices (e.g. Wacom tablet) was slow to the point of being completely unusable. Forum discussion, Pull request #4687.
 * The coordinate system in the 3D view can be resized in the preferences in the section Display → 3D View. Pull request #5182
 * A new setting in Preferences → General allows to substitute the numerical keypad decimal separator with the appropriate locale separator if they are different. Pull request #3256 Pull request #5150 Pull request 5203
 * It is now possible to set the key as a standalone shortcut key without the need to specify an additional modifier key. Pull request #5428

Верстак Draft

 * A checkbox was added to the task panel of many drafting commands. Checking it allows input of coordinates in the global coordinate system even if the working plane is not aligned with the global XY plane.


 * The Draft_Hatch.svg Draft Hatch command was introduced. It creates hatches on the faces of a selected object using patterns from AutoCAD PAT files.


 * The Draft_AddNamedGroup.svg Draft AddNamedGroup command was introduced. The Draft_AddToGroup.svg Draft AddToGroup command was extended with the same functionality.


 * Work on the Draft_SetStyle.svg Draft SetStyle command, still in progress in FreeCAD version 0.19, was completed.

 * For Draft_Dimension.svg Draft Dimensions the  for imperial architectural dimensions was introduced.


 * Draft_Shape2DView.svg Draft Shape2DView objects now have an property. Setting it to  can be useful if there are many Draft Shape2DViews in a document or if they are complex.


 * It is now possible to reverse a Draft Wire via the Draft_Edit.svg Draft Edit context menu. Forum discussion, Pull request #4811.

Предстоящие улучшения верстака Draft

 * Fixed Draft Snap Grid when the cursor is over a face. Forum discussion. Git commit.


 * New Draft Texts are now aligned with the working plane, Pull request #5092.


 * Support for two DWG converters was added: LibreDWG and QCAD pro. See Import Export Preferences and FreeCAD and DWG Import for more information.

Предстоящие улучшения верстака FEM

 * Important: Starting from this release, FreeCAD will use SI units (m, kg, s, K, A, mol, cd) to write the Elmer solver input files (case.sif and mesh.nodes). This is independent of the used FreeCAD unit system.
 * Important: Starting from this release, the scale of result pipelines and their filters will use SI units (m, kg, s, K, A, mol, cd). So the displacement is given in meter, the stress in Pascal. This applies to all SI-derived FreeCAD unit systems.
 * Solving with the Calculix solver now uses all CPU cores. Pull request #6374
 * Meshing with Gmsh now uses all CPU cores. Pull request #6370
 * The element order of Gmsh meshes can be changed via the mesh dialog. Pull request #4660
 * The Data at point clip result filter is now actually working: One gets info from result meshes by clicking into them or by specifying a mesh coordinate.
 * A new constraint was added: . Pull request #4738
 * A new solver was added: . Multiple commits.
 * A new constraint was added: . Pull request #4982
 * It is now possible to have result pipelines with several filters, where some take other filters as input, and some take the results directly from the pipeline. commit 708a300b
 * Material cards can now contain values for the electrical conductivity. Pull request #4647
 * Material cards added for Nitrogen and Argon. Pull request #4649
 * Support for the Gmsh mesh algorithms "HXT" (3D) and "Packing Parallelograms" (2D) added. Pull request #4654
 * Allow to specify an algorithm for the Gmsh property "High Order Optimize". Pull request #4705
 * Nonlinear solid materials with simple hardening can now have an arbitrary number of yield points. Pull request #5024
 * Allow modal adding/removal of geometric entities to constraints acting on boundaries. Pull request #5117
 * Most FEM constraint dialogs now behave uniformly and provide the same 3D object selection features. Pull request #5391

Экспортирование

 * DXF: The missing unit block was added to the header14.rub file. Pull request #5793

Improved support for NASTRAN GRID elements
The Mesh import tool now supports the high-precision "GRID*" element. The standard-precision "GRID" element was also improved, now supporting both space-delimited numeric input as well as fixed-field-width input, per the NASTRAN95 format documentation.

Планируемые улучшения верстака Mesh
Fixed false negatives during self-intersection tests when facets are coplanar: Pull request #5002.

Верстак OpenSCAD
Interoperability with OpenSCAD has been improved, adding support for several operations missing from earlier versions (linear extrude with rotations, rotational extrusions). Several operations are modified to provide improved FreeCAD object equivalents, particularly for twisted extrusions. Surface generation from discrete data was modified to give more OpenSCAD-like results, rather than splined surfaces.

New options were added to support running either FreeCAD, OpenSCAD, or both, in sandboxed environments such as AppImages and Snap packages: data can now be transferred to and from OpenSCAD via the standard temporary directory mechanism, via a user-specified temp directory that both executables have access to, or new to OpenSCAD 2021.1, via a "stdout pipe" mechanism, bypassing temporary files entirely.

Предстоящие улучшения верстака Part

 * The dialog to edit Cylinders now allows to specify an angle relative to the normal of the chosen attachment plane. This way one can create skew cylinders. Pull request #4708
 * The Face Colors tool now also allows to set the transparency (Alpha channel) of faces. This transparency can be exported, making e.g. STEP files with transparent parts possible.
 * The following commands now support App::Links: Loft, Sweep, Extrude, Revolve, Reverse shapes, Mirror, Offset2D, Offset3D, Check Geometry, Ruled Surface, Cross-sections, and Thickness. Pull request #6478

Предстоящие улучшения верстака PartDesign

 * In the Helix feature one can now also use the sketch normal as axis. Pull request #5199
 * The Sprocket feature can now also create ISO-normed sprockets. Forum thread Pull request #4478
 * The Loft and Pipe features now allow using the body's faces for sections. Pull request #5155
 * It is now possible to select several faces before calling the Pad or Pocket dialog. In this case the first selected face will be used to determine the default padding/pocketing direction. commit d34a5616
 * It is possible to offset SubShapeBinders if they are based on edges, wires or faces. Pull request #6338
 * SubShapeBinders now have the Refine property like all other PartDesign objects. Pull request #6550
 * In the Chamfer and Fillet dialogs all edges of a body can be selected via the context menu while in Add mode. Pull request #5269 When you selected a 3D object before clicking the icon to create a fillet or chamfer, all object edges will automatically be selected. Pull request #5328
 * Chamfer and Fillet dialogs now each have a new Use all edges checkbox, which is connected to the Use All Edges property for these objects. When the box is checked the property is set to True, when unchecked the property is set to False. When Use All Edges is True there is protection against the topological naming problem because then all of the edges of the base object are used regardless of how many edges there are. Pull request #5340
 * Plane selection when adding a new sketch can now be achieved with a single-click in the 3D View. Pull request Forum discussion
 * When a PartDesign tool is run without an active body, FreeCAD now offers to activate a body or create a new one. Pull request #4949
 * The Face Colors tool is now also available from the PartDesign workbench.

Web
Qt WebEngine теперь считается опцией по умолчанию вместо Qt WebKit.

Внешние верстаки
these are the new workbenches created in this development cycle, or older workbenches that received updates. See external workbenches for more workbenches that can be installed, and which cover a wide variety of topics. If you want to see your workbench added, join the forum and present your code.

A2plus
Several features to view, inspect and edit existing constraints were added. One can now e.g. highlight constraints with a label, suppress a constraint temporarily or run the solver only for a particular constraint.

For more information see the constraint handling description.

FCGear
The FCGear Workbench received a couple of improvements:


 * For involute gears, the outside (aka tip) and root diameter are exposed as properties (details).
 * Gear objects are now attachable (details).
 * Gear objects can now be used as additive features in PartDesign Bodies (details).
 * The creation of gear objects now appears in the undo stack (details).

Plot

 * The Plot module has been stripped from the Plot Workbench since it is now provided by FreeCAD.

Ship
Верстак Ship обновлен!


 * A new tool to compute the static sink and trim has been added.
 * A new tool to compute the response amplitude operators has been added on top of capytaine.

Сборка
Since this release FreeCAD can only be compiled using Qt 5.x and Python 3.x. The lowest supported Python version is 3.6.9 according to this forum thread.

Для компиляции FreeCAD под определенную ОС ознакомьтесь с инструкциями: Windows, Linux и macOS.

Поддерживаемые операционные системы:
 * Windows 7, 8, 10 и 11
 * Linux Ubuntu Bionic Beaver (18.04) и Focal Fossa (20.04)
 * MacOS: 10.12 Sierra и выше

32bit Windows
Since FreeCAD 0.19 we no longer officially support 32-bit Windows. FreeCAD might work on these systems, but no support is given.

Remote Desktop under Windows
Depending on the OpenGL graphics capabilities of a computer, it might be that one encounters a crash when running FreeCAD via remote desktop. To fix this upgrade your OpenGL driver. Only if this doesn't help:
 * Download this OpenGL library for 64bit Windows and extract it.
 * Rename the DLL file to opengl32sw.dll and copy it to the bin subfolder of FreeCAD's installation folder (overwrite the existing DLL there).

MacOS: Start Workbench shows blank page
If the Start Workbench shows only a blank page, you must enable the option Use software OpenGL in the menu.
