FreeCAD 16 vs Latest
We currently use FreeCAD 16 because of its simpler interface to be inclusive to beginners and because OSE has developed a workflow specifically for this version over many years. This page is to document what customizations can be made in the latest version of FreeCAD, currently 19, to better support this OSE workflow and to integrate OSE with the larger FreeCAD community.
Pros for 16
- Most OSE files are already created with 16.
- Less confusing parts tree?
- Converting the library to 19 will introduce features incompatible with earlier versions.
Pros for Latest
- Support for Add-ons, like ExplodedAnimations
- Less friction with FreeCAD community
- Easier for beginners going to FreeCAD website, rather than GitHub
Better scripting systems for memory efficiency and concurrent engineering
Support for more sophisticated assemblies (still experimental, but we can help to finalize)
Migration to Python 3
OSE Workbench
There are a number of custom OSE workbenches designed for different tasks already available, written by OSE community members.
