Give these features a try and let us know how they support your work in the comments below.
Regarding rendering, firstly, whether the shadow cast on the ground can be adjusted for its intensity, secondly, whether the rendering lighting can be increased or adjusted 360 degrees up, down, left, right, instead of 360 degrees from the front, and thirdly, whether it supports custom HDR or texture, which is beneficial for personalized and fast rendering
Version 5.730 has COMPLETELY bricked exporting on my M1 iMac! I cannot export ANY parts in ANY format. I either get a message saying âExport Failedâ if I use the new quick export menu (File - export to - STL) or if I export the using the traditional menu, STL files automatically get a .s put on the end of the file name and will not open with any 3D printing slicer! Please support me on this issue as I rely on this for prototyping and manufacture and this is an HUGE problem for me!
Files that are saved using the traditional menu are saved as âPlain text filesâ
I am sure project versions will save my ass many times, thanks a lot
Customizable keyboard shortcuts are just as awesome. However, they donât seem to work for zoom to item and zoom to selection: no matter what I bind to those, it does not happen, even though the same action can be performed from the context menu or command search.

Also, itâd be great to have the possibility to bind âView to normalâ to a shortcut.
And while I am at it, itâd be awesome to have a âToggle regular/constructionâ setting in sketching, itâs annoying that I can only change the state of lines I drew, even if I know up front that Iâd want to sketch a construction line.
Yeah, I found that, but there are two major problems with it:
It only allows me to turn an existing sketch line into construction or regular, and does not allow me to change the mode before Iâd sketch a line. So if Iâm in the wrong mode, I need to first sketch the line, then select it again and then use my shortcut â as opposed to simply changing to the right mode before sketching. To be honest, Iâd prefer that mode of operation even without shortcuts, the make construction/regular selector in the constraints side menu could be a mode switch instead of an action.
Itâs two separate actions & shortcuts, Iâd prefer a single one that toggles between the two â one less shortcut to remember or conflict with others.
Hi,
But anyway by selecting your line, you go directly to sketch mode. You just need to type the shortcut. I chose Shift Q for Construction and Option Shift Q for Regular. Ainsin only Option changes. It remains simple.
But I know in advance which lines I want to draw as construction lines and which as regular. Itâs a pain in the ass that I have to select them again just to change their mode, regardless of whether I need to enter sketch mode again or not. Itâs not the end of the world, but customizable shortcuts are productivity improvements so Iâd like to be more productive
thanks a lot. I am going to play with that
