What is new, app by app

• CadCraft gets plan drafting: a hatch that stays with its boundary, layer groups as folders, stacked floors in one model space, and 2D smart walls, doors and windows. Also text styles and an MTEXT editor, snap to grid (F9), all ten ways to draw an arc, and DXF R12 files that AutoCAD opens.
• BimCraft gets the wall tool (shapes, joins, edit by dimension, walls locked to grid lines), landscape or portrait sheets in sizes A4 to A0 plus your own title block imported from SVG, and a level below the lowest.
• ModelCraft gets the print stage: Library items on the bed, then Send to 3D printer over USB, Klipper, OctoPrint or PrusaLink with our own slicer. It also gets the digital twin add-on (a soft PLC on the flow model, faults, physics, layout comparison, orders from a CSV file).
• MarkupCraft gets a pasteboard around each sheet and notes you can hide and keep out of print.
• TakeoffCraft shows lengths in meters, centimeters or millimeters, takes weight and temperature units, and has 1:75 and 1:150 scale presets.
• CivilCraft gets corridor templates, GIS analysis, a 3D render view, the Point clouds add-on with LAZ export and the WaterCraft add-on.
• DetailCraft gets 976 UK steel sizes, all shop drawings in one PDF and My profiles.
• PartCraft gets NURBS fillets and blends and a solid FEM add-on.

In every app

Live co-editing shows each other's cursors and names, and the teacher's class view lets a teacher follow a student. Each app starts from a default Library collection, and 95 items were added to the Library on release day (residential items and entourage) along with four regulation packs. Language packs now list 75 languages beyond English; all of them are machine drafts until a native speaker reads them.

Add-ons

3D Print, the Bambu Lab P2S route and the PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer and Kiri:Moto slicers are separate add-ons, and so are the resin set (Resin printing, the Elegoo GOO, SL1, Chitubox and Anycubic file add-ons, and a resin exposure test), Material flow, Factory floor, P&ID, Harness and cabinet wiring, Lighting plots, Solid FEM and Roller chain sprockets. See /addons.

For developers

The developer API is at /developers: keys for licensed accounts, a sandbox for test keys, and webhooks. A public status page shows system state and uptime.

Downloads

CadCraft Studio 0.9.0 is on /download: Windows (installer, 502.2 MB, and portable zip, 644.8 MB), macOS (.dmg, 343.2 MB, universal), Linux (.deb, 164.2 MB, and AppImage, 379.2 MB) and Android (APK, 362.4 MB). The eight browser editions are there too. Each file has its SHA-256 on the page. Check it: the Studio files were replaced once on release day, so if you downloaded before 03:52 UTC on 9 November, compare the checksum and download again if it differs.

Said plainly

• 0.9 is not code-signed on Windows yet (Azure validation is pending): SmartScreen shows "Windows protected your PC"; choose More info, then Run anyway. The macOS disk image is signed ad hoc and is not notarized: open it, drag Studio to Applications, double-click it once, then System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway. The Android APK is signed with our own release key and installs by hand; it is not on Google Play. iPad and iPhone come from Apple's App Store, not from this page, and the app is not in the store yet.
• Nothing was printed on a real printer. The digital twin was tested against simulators and known answers only, with no real PLC or line, and is not a safety validation.
• Wind and seismic loads, finite elements, WaterCraft and the other engineering add-ons are checking aids that have had no engineer review.
• The HVAC and Piping add-ons use labelled example defaults and have not been reviewed by a mechanical or plumbing professional.
• SuperCad Studio is announced; it is not public and not on sale.
