Recurring cad-rust-app (JonasMerrell) errors, by impact

  1. 1Before this fix a sketch silently stayed on its old plane after a parametric edit, and one missing edge dropped a whole fillet; now face and edge references are named and an unresolvable one is an error. Sweep, loft, imported STEP and pattern copies still resolve by point.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report74
  2. 2A DXF $INSUNITS of micrometres came in 1000x too big, elliptical arcs crossing zero imported as the opposite half, mirrored entities flipped X, and one bad ASCII STL vertex shifted every vertex after it.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  3. 3In a PCB GUI bug sweep, drill sizes 0.8 and 0.8004 both printed as C0.800 but stayed separate tools. References past a quarter turn printed upside down on silkscreen Gerbers, and tall boards were cropped in PNG renders.ECAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
  4. 4STEP import in cad-rust-app dropped part names and colours, and the project needed a colour.py script to put the Onshape colours back. Bodies came in grey and named Part N. Colours were written as linear RGB, so #ff8000 showed up as #ffbc00 in other programs and on re-import. The fix reads names and colours through OCCT's XCAF reader and never overwrites names set by hand.MCAD · Agent failure · 1 report66
