What's new in GSketch

The browser version updates by itself; the desktop apps tell you when a newer version is out. Newest first.

Desktop 0.1.3 on the download page: everything below, the window icon on Windows and Linux, and the Help › Donate / Download / sign-in links that did nothing on the desktop now open the browser. The web app can be installed from the browser's menu and gets its own icon.
Sheet Layout: every panel laid out in rows on 4 × 8 (or 5 × 5, 4 × 4, 2 × 4, or your size) plywood sheets with a saw-kerf gap, per thickness, printable, with the sheet count. The Cut List picks the sheet size. Instant for hundreds of parts.
Notes and dimensions on the cut sheet: a text note or a dimension placed on a panel is printed on that part in the cut sheet and the sheet layout.
Cabinet builder: overlay doors, a toe kick (notched sides and a kick board), or a drawer bank with a box behind every front; Entity Info › Edit Cabinet rebuilds a cabinet with new sizes where it stands. The sample model opens with a cabinet beside the house.
Parts library: File › Import Model as Component brings another .gsk in as one component; Save Selected Component As writes a group out as its own .gsk; the Components panel can Replace selected groups with a component.
Tape Measure resize: measure two points, type the real length, and the whole model scales to match.
Typed moves and sizes: Move takes x,y,z steps and [x,y,z] positions; Scale takes a size with a unit (24", 600mm) instead of a factor.
Make Faces: loose lines that close a flat loop become faces again (Edit menu or right-click).
Color by Tag with a colour swatch per tag; a Snaps menu in the status bar to switch midpoints, axes, parallel / perpendicular, guides or point tracking off.
Cloud autosave for models kept in your account; smooth camera flights between views and scenes; the Eraser also takes dimensions, notes and guides; a welcome card on first run.
