While we have your attention, take a look at AstoCAD, a soft fork of @FreeCADNews. It's a new project by Ondsel's former employee @pierrelouisboy who developed the Assembly workbench and improved Sketcher and TechDraw

@TrueAmPatriot86 The company shut down in November https://t.co/mgxjoPcjRT

While Ondsel is no more, the development of Lens, the PDM system we developed, may live on under the FreeCAD umbrella. In fact, you can now apply for a grant to help develop it

We are shutting down Ondsel Lens permanently on November 22, 2024. If you still have files on Lens that you don't have anywhere else, please download them as soon as possible 💔

@c_kirkpatrick We spent the last 6 months polishing UX, adding improvements, and contributing changes back upstream. With a few UI tweaks, you will find the upcoming FreeCAD 1.0 sufficiently close to what you know from Ondsel ES

@adam2070 We made sure they will :)

@CooperZurad All changes to FreeCAD except reloadable objects have been submitted, most of them will be in v1.0. We'll submit the reloadable objects code upstream, too. We'll talk about MBD solver and Lens server code release when we are ready to

[Ondsel @ondsel]

@abdelhalimwahid All of the above

[Ondsel @ondsel]

@CodingFreedom @Peter__Ross @FreeCADNews Very few things haven't been pushed to the upstream project. Reloadable objects are probably the only major feature not submitted yet. The rest is in the upcoming v1.0 already or scheduled for inclusion once v1.0 is out

@ask_e_ladden @FreeCADNews We do use OpenTheme

New feature in weekly builds and upcoming v2024.3: reloadable STEP files. Insert a STEP file into your project from a local disk, an arbitrary server, or use the URL of an Ondsel Lens share link, update the STEP file, reload it to update the project

@stephen_hawes_ Make sure they know that some of the best creations --especially by kids-- can be simple and still be effective.

HELL YEAH

[Ondsel @ondsel]

We'll be shipping a lot of improvements in the Ondsel Lens addon as part of upcoming Ondsel ES 2024.3. Here is a quick rundown of what to expect and how you can test new features

This is taking our assembly example file into a new territory :)

[Ondsel @ondsel]

What are some of the off-the-shelf components you use in your assemblies and other projects the most, apart from nuts and bolts? And what ones are really desirable and yet the most difficult to find as e.g. STEP files?
