I received an issue report for section view completely freezing on a large static CNC assembly file (703 step files, 260 fasteners). I've improved performance significantly in Nxt so it is now usable and responsive. #FreeCAD #Nxt

Templating out Pad/Pocket for the property inspector. It was so good, that I'm replacing the pad/pocket task panel with it. Soon I'll be working on the rest of Part Design!

The Nxt addon for #FreeCAD is now available through the add-on manager. This update also includes the new Fillet and Chamfer tools I've been working on. I put together a crappy demo reel to showcase big features!

Just updated OpenTheme with a bugfix for computers using Qt 6.12 (mostly a Linux problem). This restores the input fields in sketcher so you can see the text again.

Solving more fillet edge-cases in #FreeCAD today. I will push an update to Nxt later today. But remember, the implementation will still be very experimental and may not be reliable in all uses.
