A scale across a revolution's axis keeps the face a surface of revolution and is written as one; any other refusal from the writer is an export error, not a panic.
An Edge Flange feature can set the shape and size of the relief at the corners its flanges make, in place of the sheet metal rule's. Design format 24.

FreeCAD .FCStd and Rhino .3dm files open, insert and drop like STEP and IGES:
cadmpeg (Apache-2.0, pinned =0.6.1, native builds only) detects the format,
decodes it under its service resource caps, validates the model and writes it
as STEP AP214, which becomes an Import feature in a new component named after
the file, with the up and names options.
Only the fcstd, rhino and step codecs are compiled in (no default features).
ACIS is left out: cadmpeg's sat codec is a ShapeManager stream decoder.
native_cad.rs is the single importer seam. Self-made FreeCAD and Rhino box
fixtures, hostile-input, ZIP-bomb and cap tests, engine tests for the
component path; the browser build reports these formats as not supported.
A note under design format 23 says an Import's file can name these formats.

Thin extrude caps are certified by the curves the wall follows, so a sketch attached to a cap survives switching between solid and thin (#1519).

glTF files open, insert and drop like 3MF/STL/OBJ: a component named after the file, the node tree as nested rigid components, repeated meshes as occurrences, metres to mm, Y up turned to Z up by default (up: z keeps axes), materials as PBR appearances. Bounded, hostile-input tested reader; no new persisted data. Closes#1505.

* Copy, cut and paste sketch geometry (Ctrl+C/X/V, context menu)
Sketch geometry had no copy or paste: Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V arrive as
clipboard events that nothing handled, and the sketch context menu had no
Copy, Cut or Paste.
- sketch.copy / sketch.cut / sketch.paste: lines, arcs, circles, ellipses,
splines, conics, points and text. Constraints and dimensions wholly among
the copied entities come along (each dimension gets its own parameter
with the same expression); ones that reach outside, fixes and pattern or
offset relations are dropped. Paste goes centred at `at`, by
`translate`, or offset from the original (same sketch) / at the same
coordinates (another sketch, on its plane). One undo step; the pasted
geometry is selected.
- Ctrl+C / Ctrl+X / Ctrl+V in a sketch (paste at the cursor), and Cut,
Copy and Paste in the sketch context menu. Outside a sketch Ctrl+C /
Ctrl+V copy and paste the selected timeline features. A copy also puts a
line of text on the system clipboard so the next Ctrl+V is delivered.
Fixes#1480

A sketch text's height, place (x and y) and angle can each be an expression over the design's parameters, and the text follows parameter changes, undo and reopening. Closes#1362.

A motion link's ratio is read in b's units per a's (mm per degree, degrees per mm) when an angle and a distance are linked; stored values stay per radian, so saved designs are unchanged. Follow-up to #1415.

The continuity core (kernel bridge: Hermite control rows reproducing a support surface's position, tangent, curvature and change of curvature, G0 to G3), surface.blend between two edge chains (#764), and a crown for fitted patches. Existing patches and fillets are unchanged by default (crown 0 is the plain patch bit for bit). SurfaceBlend and Patch.crown are noted under format 22.
A point within the point tolerance of a boundary curve's end is that end in the boolean, whatever its parameter, so text cuts no longer leave unmatched sliver vertices (#391). Robustness goldens re-recorded for seeds 0, 34, 39, 41 and 57 with reasons.
* Sketch: the first dimension scales a sketch drawn by eye (#1365)
Lines drawn by eye have no size of their own until a dimension gives them one, but the first
dimension kept every other drawn length and distorted the sketch to fit (a free construction
line through the origin turned instead of the shape moving). The dimension tool now scales
the whole sketch about its origin to the first length dimension, as long as nothing in the
sketch fixes a size yet: no other driving length dimension, nothing fixed, projected or
patterned. Every geometric constraint and angle holds on the scaled sketch. Later
dimensions size what they measure as before; sketch.dimension does this only with
scale_sketch: true, so scripts are unchanged.
Fixes#1365

startup_steps_survive_a_rebase_and_running_ends_startup reads the open journal through a clone of its own handle (read_journal_file), as read_live_journal does, instead of opening a second handle that Windows' mandatory lock refuses. Test-only. Fixes#1448.
joint.motion_link offset is read in the linked value's units (degrees or mm, or an expression); links are still stored in radians, so saved designs open unchanged. A new joint whose values fall outside its limits starts at the nearer limit, stores it, and says so in warnings. Loop dof also counts at a nearby pose, so a part at a dead point of its loop keeps its mobility. The mechanisms skill is updated to match.
New command inspect.compare {a, b, tolerance?}: measures of both and their differences, two-way surface deviation from a bounding-volume tree, regions beyond the tolerance clustered by side (only_in_a / only_in_b) with integrated volumes and faces, a verdict, optional face colouring as one undo step, and warnings for open meshes. Geometry in solidcraft-geom (compare.rs), command in the engine. Closes#1363.
* Imports become components: a STEP assembly's tree as nested components (#1386)
Every imported file (STEP, IGES, 3MF, STL, OBJ: inserted, dropped, opened as a
design, or file.insert_step / file.insert_mesh / doc.open from scripts, the CLI
and MCP) now comes in as a new component named after the file, with its Import
feature inside it. A STEP assembly's products become nested components; a part
placed more than once is one component with an occurrence per placement, and
the Import feature skips the file's later copies (`skip`, format 21 note). The
contents are held as one rigid group (rigid joints, glyphs hidden); moving an
inner part is refused until component.unlock ("Unlock Contents") releases it.
Y up turns the import's component. Replies report component, component_name
and occurrence. Undo is one step; designs with loose imports are unchanged.

component.insert_design (a saved part as a linked component) had no button, so an
assembly of separately saved parts looked impossible. It is now on the ASSEMBLE panel
of every tab and in the File menu; it asks for the file, and a STEP or mesh file picked
there is inserted as Insert STEP or Insert Mesh would.

Measure now reads the picked item's exact shape (cylindrical faces, circular and arc edges,
sketch circles, arcs and lines, profiles, planes, points):
- A circle, hole or arc shows Ø, R and its length (circumference, or arc length and angle).
- A slot (a sketch profile, or a half-cylinder end of a slot in a solid) shows its width,
centre-to-centre length and overall length.
- Two items where one is round measure from the centre or axis by default (axis to axis,
axis to plane, edge or point), with the closest and farthest distances listed too; the
panel switches between centre, min and max, and the canvas line follows.
- inspect.measure and MCP `measure` (new `items` argument) add diameter, radius,
center_distance, min and max; existing fields are unchanged.
