Interface utilisateur


Autres améliorations de l'interface utilisateur

 * The button for [[Image:Std_UserEditModeDefault.svg|24px]] Edit Mode has been removed from the standard toolbar. It can be re-added by customizing your toolbar. Pull request #7570
 * The buttons for [[Image:Std_Print.svg|24px]] Print, [[Image:Std_Copy.svg|24px]] Copy, [[Image:Std_Paste.svg|24px]] Paste and [[Image:Std_Cut.svg|24px]] Cut have been removed from the standard toolbar. They can be re-added by customizing your toolbar. Pull request #7571 and commit ea9a04e
 * Commands to store and recall a temporary working view have been added. Pull request #7525
 * Value changes with the mouse wheel in 'input fields' (a widget type used to enter values in task panels, for example by Draft Line) are disabled if the widget doesn't have the focus and the ComboBoxWheelEventFilter parameter is enabled. This prevents unwanted value changes while scrolling, as was already the case for spin and combo boxes. Pull request #7561
 * It is now possible to set a default transparency for new Part or PartDesign objects in the Preferences. Pull request #7103
 * There is the new orbit style Free Turntable. It can either be enabled in the Preferences or by pressing the button in the Status bar and then using the menu ). Pull Request #8048
 * The Std SetAppearance task panel now also has a button to set the Point Color property. Pull request #7708
 * A button has been added to switch the colors of the 3D view background gradient in the Preferences. Pull request #7155
 * All transparency settings use now the uniform spin button step of 5%: One click on the button in a dialog or the property editor changes the transparency by 5%. Keep the button pressed to change several 5% steps at once. Pull request #7723
 * The Output window has been renamed to Report view for uniformity with the UI. Pull Request #7739
 * The Image Workbench has been removed. To insert an Image Plane the Std Import command can now be used. Double-click an Image Plane to change its orientation and scale. The new Std ViewLoadImage command replaces the Image Open command. Pull Request #8955



Noyau

 * The function cbrt(x) for cubic roots was added for use in Expressions. Pull request #8629

Gestionnaire des extensions


Atelier Arch

 * Plusieurs problèmes liés au mode d'édition ont été corrigés et les menus contextuels de la vue en arborescence pour les objets Arch ont été améliorés. Les objets qui peuvent être édités ont maintenant une option dans ce menu. L'option  a été supprimée pour les objets sans face ou qui ne peuvent avoir qu'une seule face. Pull request #8122



Autres améliorations de Arch

 * Arch Profile objects now support modification of the profile type after creation. Pull request #7217
 * The Terrain of an Arch Site can now also be a solid. Pull request #8444
 * An Arch Site no longer shows a phantom representation of the objects in its Group. Pull request #8444
 * Arch SectionPlane objects now handle non-solid objects the same as solid objects. Pull request #8688



Atelier Draft

 * The inaccuracy of Draft Snap Near when snapping to curves was fixed. In addition, Draft Snap Perpendicular can now also snap to faces and find multiple points. To snap to a vertex (e.g. a Draft Point) Draft Snap Endpoint must now be used instead of Draft Snap Near. Pull request #7132
 * To make working with layers easier their drag and drop behavior was modified. If you drop an object from a Std Group, or a group-like object such as an Arch BuildingPart, on a layer, it is no longer removed from the group, and vice versa. This works without holding down the key. Pull request #7462
 * The Draft PointArray command now supports more point object types. Any object with a shape and vertices, as well as a mesh and a point cloud can be used. Pull request #7597
 * The Tree view context menus for Draft objects have been improved. Objects that can be edited with the Draft Edit command, or that have a dedicated edit solution, now have an option in that menu. The  option was removed for objects without a face or that can only have a single face. Pull request #7970
 * The properties of Draft annotation objects have been unified. Draft Text, Draft Dimension and Draft Label objects now all have a Font Name, a Font Size and a Text Color property. The Display Mode options have been made consistent as well and are now: Screen and World. Issue #7861 and Pull request #8081
 * Undo/Redo did not work properly for the Draft modification commands on Windows. Pull request #8267



Autres améliorations de Draft

 * Several Draft PathArray related issues have been fixed. Pull request #7506 and Pull request #7662
 * The Draft Edit command has received several improvements. For wires, B-splines and Bézier curves a Close/Open option has been added to the edge context menu. For B-splines and Bézier curves a Reverse option has been added to the same menu as well. The task panels have been cleaned up. Pull request #7527 and Pull request #7541
 * The Draft Snap toolbar was changed to a standard toolbar. Keyboard shortcuts can now be assigned to snaps. But using them during a command only works if none of the input boxes in the task panel has the focus as they 'catch' the so-called in-command shortcuts. Pull request #7656
 * In the task panel of the Draft SetStyle command the "Texts/dims" button has been replaced by the "Annotations" button. Pressing this button will process all annotations, including Draft Labels. Several minor additional issues were also fixed. Pull request #8190, Pull request #8195 and Pull request #8196
 * Several Draft AnnotationStyleEditor bugs have been fixed and a separate Text color button has been added. Pull request #8207
 * Start and End Offset properties have been added to Draft PathArray objects. Pull request #8295
 * A Count property has been added to the arrays that lacked this property: the non-Link versions of Draft OrthoArray, Draft PolarArray and Draft CircularArray. Pull request #8433



Atelier FEM


Autres améliorations de FEM

 * When performing analyses using the [[Image:FEM_SolverCalculixCxxtools.svg|24px]] CalculiX solver, there is now also a results pipeline created to visualize the results. Pull request #8525 and Pull request #8903
 * It is now possible to perform transient analyses when using the [[Image:FEM_SolverElmer.svg|32px]] Elmer solver. Pull request #9056
 * The [[Image:FEM_ConstraintInitialPressure.svg|24px]] initial pressure constraint was added to set the initial internal pressure of fluids. Pull request #7364
 * The [[Image:FEM_ConstraintCurrentDensity.svg|24px]] current density constraint was added to set current densities for bodies and faces. Pull request #8348
 * The [[Image:FEM_ConstraintMagnetization.svg|24px]] magnetization constraint was added to set magnetizations for bodies and faces. Pull request #8393
 * The [[Image:FEM_ConstraintFlowVelocity.svg|24px]] flow velocity constraint and [[Image:FEM_ConstraintInitialFlowVelocity.svg|24px]] initial flow velocity constraint were completely rewritten. It is now also possible to specify a velocity via a math formula (to define a velocity profile). Pull request #8963 and Pull request #8964 Note: This is a breaking change. Analyses with existing flow velocity and initial flow velocity constraints will not work anymore. You have to create new flow velocity constraints in the analysis to make existing analyses work. Also note: until FreeCAD 0.20.3 the results of the flow solver were wrong (fluid density and viscosity were a factor 1000 too high). Therefore the necessary recreation of the velocity constraint also assures the results will be correct.
 * It is now possible to define in the [[Image:FEM_ConstraintDisplacement.svg|24px]] displacement constraint displacements as equations (displacement according to the current solver time).
 * The [[Image:FEM_ConstraintBodyHeatSource.svg|24px]] body heat source constraint has now a task panel and it is possible to set the heat for several bodies or to use several constraints for different bodies in one analysis. Pull request #7367
 * The [[Image:FEM_ConstraintSpring.svg|24px]] spring constraint was not used by any solver. Now it can be used by the Elmer solver via the equations Deformation and Elasticity. Pull request #9005
 * The result mesh cut function [[Image:FEM_PostCreateFunctionCylinder.svg|24px]] Filter function cylinder was added. Pull request #8735
 * The result mesh cut function [[Image:FEM_PostCreateFunctionBox.svg|24px]] Filter function box was added. Pull request #8825
 * It is now possible to open (and this way visualize) *.pvtu files (partitioned VTK unstructured grid data). A *.pvtu file is also the result of an Elmer simulation, when more than one CPU core is used for calculations. Pull request #7159
 * Critical Strain Ratio has been added to the VTK result pipeline. It gives an indication of ductile rupture for materials with a "MaterialMechanicalNonlinear" object. Pull request #7467
 * [[Image:FEM_FemMesh2Mesh.svg|24px]] FEM mesh to mesh has the new parameter scale to define the scale of deformed mesh using Python. Forum thread and Pull request #7715
 * The preferences have a new option to define which solver should automatically be added when creating a new analysis.
 * Usability improvements:
 * If you are in the FEM workbench when loading a FreeCAD file containing an analysis, the analysis gets activated automatically (you have immediate access to all FEM toolbar buttons).
 * The toolbar only has buttons for solvers installed on your system. Unavailable solvers are no longer displayed.
 * New example files for the following equations are available via the FEM Examples: Deformation, Flow, Flux, Heat, Magnetodynamic and Magnetodynamic 2D. Pull requests #8550, #8569, #8579, #8597, #8630 and #9004.
 * New material card for carbon dioxide and a titanium alloy. Pull request #8332 and Pull request #8636

Mesh (Maillage)


Autres améliorations de Mesh

 * Permet d'ajouter des transparences à un maillage. Fil de discussion du forum et Commit f88305e.



Atelier OpenSCAD


Atelier Part


Autres améliorations de Part

 * La commande Part Points à partir de maillage a été étendue pour accepter n'importe quel objet géométrique. Pull request #8730

Atelier PartDesign
<span id="Further_PartDesign_improvements">

Autres améliorations de PartDesign

 * In the Hole dialog, the deprecated screw head types (cheese head, cap screw etc.) have been removed. They were deprecated since FreeCAD 0.19. Holes using these types are transformed to custom countersinks/counterbore holes with the diameter and depth used by the types. Pull request #7654
 * In the Additive Loft and Subtractive Loft dialogs, the previously non-functional option Closed does now create a closed loft (like a ring). Pull request #8748
 * The Validate sketch command was added to Helper toolbar. Pull request #7700
 * The unusable Leave sketch and View sketch commands were removed from the menu. The Edit sketch, Merge sketches and Mirror sketch commands were added to the menu. Pull request #7700
 * The involute gear profile has new properties to change the tooth length. This now allows adjustments for certain types of interferences and to use the profile to create involute splines too. Pull request #8184
 * The involute gear profile now offers profile shifting. Issue #5618 and Pull request #8934

<span id="Path_Workbench">

Atelier Path

 * Intégration de Camotics. Si Camotics (version 1.2.2 ou ultérieure) est installé, une nouvelle icône sera ajoutée à la barre d'outils Path. Sélectionnez une Path Tâche et appuyez sur le bouton pour ouvrir la boîte de dialogue Camotics. Faites ensuite glisser le curseur pour générer un solide simulé en tout point du travail. Vous pouvez également lancer l'application Camotics complète pour exécuter la simulation animée. Cela entraîne un post-traitement silencieux de la tâche et la création d'un fichier de projet camotics. Pull request #6637


 * Des chaînes de substitution supplémentaires pour le nommage automatique des sorties. Si la sortie est divisée en plusieurs fichiers, les noms de fichiers peuvent automatiquement substituer le label du contrôleur d'outil, WCS, ou le label de l'opération. Ceci s'ajoute aux autres chaînes de substitution existantes comme la date, le nom du travail, etc.


 * Implémentation de l'option de brise-copeaux (Chipbreaking) pour les cycles de perçage de type débourrage. Le brise-copeaux émet un cycle G73 qui amène la commande à effectuer un très petit mouvement de rétraction pour casser le copeau sans rétracter complètement la mèche du trou. G73 est supporté nativement par LinuxCNC. D'autres postprocesseurs devront interpréter le G73 et émettre les codes de contrôle appropriés ou décomposer la rétraction en mouvements G1/G0. Le support des postprocesseurs pour la décomposition G73 a été ajouté aux postprocesseurs "refactorisés". Pull request #7469.

Autres améliorations de Sketcher

 * The toolbar button for Constrain refraction (Snell's law) has been removed. Commit ef62fc3
 * The Dimensional Constraints and Quantity Spin Boxes now support the same math as Expressions (Evaluated in place). Pull Request #7124
 * The toolbar buttons for Select redundant constraints and Select conflicting constraints have been removed. Pull request #7568
 * The toolbar button for Stop operation has been removed. Pull request #7569
 * The 'Edit controls' section in the Sketcher dialog has been made optional. Pull request #7572
 * The toolbar button for Select unconstrained DoF has been removed. Pull request #7603
 * The Sketcher toolbar has been split in two: 'Sketcher-edit-mode' and 'Sketcher' (i.e. 'not edit mode'). The Sketcher toolbars that are only for edit-mode are hidden in non-edit-mode, and those only for non-edit-mode are hidden in edit-mode. The Structure toolbar is also hidden in Sketcher. Pull request #7655
 * Carbon copy if possible now uses constraint names in the expressions it creates instead of an index based reference, making it more reliable. Pull request #7688
 * The Sketcher 'Solver Message' taskbox has been simplified. The auto-remove-redundant checkbox has been moved to the Constraint taskbox setting button menu. The auto-update checkbox has been moved to the menu of the update button. Pull request #8864
 * Split now supports more curves (ellipses, parabolas, hyperbolas and B-splines). Pull request #6971

Compilation
Since this release FreeCAD can only be compiled using Qt 5.x and Python 3.x. The lowest supported Python version is 3.8 according to the FreeCAD 1.0 development goals.

To compile FreeCAD see the instructions for Windows, Linux and macOS.

The supported operating systems are:
 * Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11
 * Linux Ubuntu Focal Fossa (20.04) and newer
 * macOS: 10.12 Sierra or newer

32bit Windows
Since FreeCAD 0.19 we no longer officially support 32bit 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.
