This week in FreeCAD development:

• bgbsww, CalligaroV, and chennes made more progress with mitigating the toponaming issue.

• The latest work by paddle on integrated assembly workbench has been merged: linking and grounding parts, functional joints (Fixed, Revolute, Cylindrical, Slider, Ball, Distance), dragging support for Slider and Revolute joints.

• paddle patched the parallel constraint code to ignore points and non-line geometries. He also added Translate tool that also works as a replacement for Rectangular Array / Move / Copy / Clone.

• AjinkyaDahale implemented general tangency with B-splines in Sketcher.

• Rexbas contributed a patch fixing rotation for some navigation styles in Sketcher.

• maxwxyz further improved contextual right-click menu in Sketcher: preselection and external geometry are now taken into consideration, Fillet and Trim commands have been removed (they can’t work with a selection), Cut/Copy/Paste commands have been added.

• FlachyJoe added a “Passthrough” boolean property in PartDesign so that it would be possible to disable a feature without removing it. He also made it possible to use equal radii in Part and PartDesign cones and implemented 1D intersection for attachments.

• LemonBoy added an option to dim the navigation cube when it’s not in the focus. He also fixed the extrusion behavior when the height is zero.

• Zolko-123 improved the LCS representation in the window to make it easier to select the point/vertex on which the LCS is attached.

• marioalexis84 made further improvements in the FEM workbench: added support for cyclic symmetry and fixed several issues.

• chennes and rostskadat made various improvements in the Addon Manager code.

• Roy-043 made several fixes and small improvements in Draft and Arch, he also fixed the path for off-line documentation.

• mark-dev added subvolume property for roofs based on a solid shape in Arch.

• pavltom implemented adding “Owner” property to all Symbols in TechDraw.

• kadet1090 made axis label color configurable for better theming capabilities.

• wwmayer fixed 3MF exporting with clones, contributed to the Python 3.12 port, improved the port to OpenCascade 7.8.0, and contributed more fixes.
