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!

I've added cycle-time information to the tree for CAM operations in Nxt. Make sure you're updating your addon regularly!

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.

surface blends for the junctions is very robust but are very compute intensive.

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.
