Video Description

FreeCAD 1.1 is finally here!!! And it’s packed with workflow upgrades that will make your everyday CAD modeling noticeably faster and smoother. In this first-look video, I walk through the biggest and most useful changes in FreeCAD 1.1, including: - Redesigned Start Page & improved navigation - Brand new Settings Search - Better 3D lighting and real-time dimension feedback - Interactive 3D drag handles & clearer attachment modes - The powerful new Clarify Selection tool - Major Sketcher upgrades (constraint selection, multi-element dragging, cleaner dimensions, new external geometry tools) Plus, you can now install FreeCAD 1.1 safely thanks to versioned user configuration folders, no risk to your current setup. If you use FreeCAD for 3D printing, product design, or mechanical work, these changes are worth checking out.
