Can't even take a short break from 3D designing stuff. Glad I'm switching over to FreeCAD. All I wanted was to grab some dimensions from an old model.

Didn't ondsel implement a fix for toponaming as well?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

As far as I remember ondsel is working on upstreaming realthunder's approach to freecad, but it is a lot of work to polish up because it touches so many parts of the application.

Here is a nice interview with one cofounder of ondsel where I have this information from: https://shows.acast.com/ohm-podcast/episodes/ep-12-brad-cto-of-ondsel

Last I tried it, there was no fix. Their latest update on the website says:

The work on the toponaming problem is an ongoing project, and we are very grateful to the FreeCAD community for contributing a lot to that effort. But it’s not complete yet, there will be much more to say when it’s largely done. So let’s focus on the other three.

So I take it they haven't implemented a fix. They previously said they were going to work with the FreeCAD team on mainlining a toponaming fix, using realthunder's work as a proof of concept, but said fix has not landed in mainline FreeCAD yet. I believe that's the major feature they're looking to implement for FreeCAD 1.0.

Definitely excited for Ondsel though! Hopefully that fix can be integrated quickly.
