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?

Pros for Latest

  • Support for Add-ons, like ExplodedAnimations
  • Less friction with FreeCAD community
  • Easier for beginners going to FreeCAD website, rather than GitHub
