kcl-88

Release KCL 88 (#7921)

- startSketchOn permits sketching on a normal of a face (previously, you could only sketch _on_ a face, now you can sketch _into_ it)
- Python bindings now let you take multiple screenshots at different angles when executing)

v1.0.11

Changed

• Sketching to be significantly faster with reduced lag when dragging segments
• Extrude to allow uppercase strings (e.g. NEW, MEREGE) for methods

Fixed

• Display of error message even when none is provided by the engine
• Selection of bodies from a multi-profile extrude
• KCL error messages to use the correct x = value syntax
• Browser links to open externally in the desktop app
• Orientation of "top" and "bottom" views to not be rotated

Full Changelog: v1.0.10...v1.0.11

kcl-87

Release kcl-87

v1.0.10

Added

• KCL: zAxis property getter for planes
• KCL: extrude function has a new optional argument method. It defaults to method = MERGE, which is the current behaviour (if you extrude a profile which is sketched on a face, the extrusion modifies the face, pushing/pulling the sketch into/out of the face). You can set method = NEW to instead create a new solid, leaving the original solid and its faces unchanged. The point-and-click UI supports this new extrude method too.
• Feature tree shows appearance operations
• Setting to enable touch controls (defaulting to on)
• Right-click delete on parameters
• Inner faces (e.g. created by cutting a hole in a sketch, then extruding it) can now be selected by clicking
• Inner faces can be sketched on
• Transforms (e.g. translation, rotation) in point-and-click mode now support optional arguments
• Clear button to unset optional arguments

Changed

• Sketch mode now renders at the right resolution in high-DPI screens. It should look much sharper now!

Fixed

• Array range end exclusive syntax now invalidates execution cache
• Variables pane now displays variables even if your KCL program had an error
• KCL: bad unit-of-measurement conversion for elliptics
• Coercing nested arrays to single level when type is any
• KCL: Improvements to the parser and its error messages.
  • More flexible parsing of array indices. Previously list[i + 1] didn't parse, but now it does.
  • Fixed many instances where unnecessary whitespace caused syntax errors
  • Allow if expressions to be operands in math, e.g. 5 * if x { 1 } else { 2 }.

Full Changelog: v1.0.9...v1.0.10

kcl-86

Release kcl-86

v1.0.9

Added

• Right-click context menu in feature tree for sketching
• Added undo/redo buttons to the new topbar
• KCL: New stdlib planeOf function to find the plane of a face
• KCL: Planes now have a zAxis property (planes are always right-handed)
• KCL: Experimental support for conic curves, hyperbolic curves, and ellipses
• KCL: Stdlib translate function has a new optional argument, xyz which lets you specify all axes at once. For example, translate(xyz = [1, 3.2, 0.5])
• KCL: New stdlib concat() and count() functions for arrays
• KCL: New stdlib vector module, with add, sub, mul and div component-wise arithmetic. Also cross, dot, magnitude and normalize functions.

Changed

• Allow Extrude, Sweep, Loft, and Revolve to work on variable-less pipe expressions
• Moved shared commands to a new topbar

Fixed

• Ability to pick sketch plane using the feature tree selections and right-click menus
• KCL: Rotate left-handed planes to become right-handed

Full Changelog: v1.0.8...v1.0.9

kcl-85

Release kcl-85

v1.0.8

Added

• Ability to specify the origin of rotation
• Display of units for calculated KCL values
• KCL: planeOf and rectangle functions

Changed

• Variable name linter to be less strict about casing
• Subtract point-and-click to take in multiple tools
• Upgrade plan button to be hidden for enterprise plans

Fixed

• Helix arguments that should have been hidden
• Offsetting a negative plane from flipping the sketch
• Unknown property error message on sketches and solids

Full Changelog: v1.0.7...v1.0.8

kcl-84

Release kcl-84

v1.0.7

Added

• KCL: involuteCircular can use diameter in addition to radius
• KCL: support for non-ASCII identifiers
• Edit flow for Parameters to Feature Tree
• Command bar support for optional args in sweep flows
• Improved display of KCL backtrace

Changed

• The grid is now a fixed-size 10x10 grid, where each cell's length is your KCL file's length unit (e.g. mm, inches, etc). You can toggle a setting in Settings > App to get the old grid back. The old grid got bigger as you zoomed out, and smaller as you zoomed in, which many users reported was disorienting.
• Undo/redo to now work with code pane closed
• New variables to be named camelCase automatically
• Unhandled errors to log to the console

Fixed

• Network machines indicator alignment in status bar
• Preservation of units of tolerance for CSG functions
• Coredump hotkey on Linux
• Extrude to work with mirror2d
• Restoring full screen app on Windows
• KCL: error with non-count indexing in arrays

Full Changelog: v1.0.6...v1.0.7
