full changelog

This is v1.0.0 of Zoo Design Studio. To get here, we wrote our own geometry engine, programming language, ML model, and CAD GUI. We hope you build something great with it, and tell us what breaks. This is just the beginning.

Changed

  • Make Text-to-CAD Edit the default workflow in the toolbar. Text-to-CAD Create is still available in a dropdown within the toolbar.

Added

  • KCL: Added ability to import from main.kcl files within nested directories
  • Allow point-and-click Insert to suggest nested files
  • Added ability to import KCL Sample assemblies into existing projects with the “Add file to project” command
  • Add KCL importing relative to where you're importing from
  • KCL: Added ability to use named axes X, Y, Z in rotate function
  • KCL: Add diameter arg to circle function
  • Adam Chalmers completed the KCL Book, give it a read!

Fixed

  • Fixed possible looping failure of authentication
  • Fix: Esc key doesn't dismiss command palette in Text-to-CAD prompt argument field
  • Fix edit sketch for profiles with mixed units
  • Fix: creating a dir ending with .kcl panics the app
  • Fix: Enter key on final review step of sweep commands would loop to beginning
  • When loading the modeling page the user's settings for camera projection was ignored
  • Lots of testing improvements, especially how snapshot tests are run
  • Display of KCL arrays in error messages is more helpful
  • Fix race condition when exiting sketch that could result in hiding the modeling scene
