Changelog

What each release of CoCAD adds, newest first.

CoCAD 1.1.0

Released November 8, 2026

Closer to how Fusion 360 works, a cleaner window, and sketch changes that reach your model.

Sketch changes reach the solid. Reopen a sketch you have already extruded, change a dimension, and the extrusion follows when you finish. CoCAD rolls the timeline back to just before the first feature built from the sketch while you edit, and forward again when you leave.
STEP and DXF in CoCAD Free. STEP export, and saving a sketch or a flat face as DXF for laser cutting, are now part of CoCAD Free.
The timeline. Clicking a feature selects what it made. Roll back by dragging the marker, with the arrow keys, or with Roll back to here on its right-click menu.
A cleaner window. Lighter ribbon tools, the sketch tool you are in shown held down, a clear action button and a close button on every tool dialog, a search box in Settings, and names instead of internal ids.
Safer. Long imports, exports and fillets no longer stop after two minutes; resetting settings or forgetting a printer asks first; installing an update asks first when work is unsaved; a window error shows a Reload button instead of a blank window.
Fusion-style selection. With Navigation set to Fusion, SolidWorks or Blender, a left-drag on empty space draws a selection window.

Released November 6, 2026

The first release of CoCAD: parametric CAD you can drive with the mouse, the keyboard or an AI assistant, all through the same commands.

Sketch and model. Constrained sketches with dimensions, then Extrude, Fillet, Chamfer, Shell, Hole and the rest of the SOLID tab. Every step lands on the timeline, so you can change a number later and the model rebuilds, or click a past step to roll back to it.
Sheet metal. Flanges, hems, bends, jogs, corner reliefs and rips, with a flat pattern you can export as a DXF for cutting.
Drawings and assemblies. Drawing views with sections, details and dimensions; assemblies held together with joints.
Scans and meshes. Import STL, OBJ or 3MF, repair and simplify a scan, and convert it to a solid where its faces are flat, round or spherical.
Freeform. Shape smooth organic bodies from a cage, with mirror symmetry.
Made for making. Check a part for thin walls, overhangs and fit; fit it to your printer and split it with dowels; add drain holes; make lithophanes, reliefs, chains and slice-and-stack layouts.
Bring your AI. Connect Claude, Cursor or another MCP client from Settings > AI, and it works on the same model you see.

One installer. With no License File it runs as CoCAD Free, for personal, non-commercial use, with no account and no sign-in.
A License File unlocks CoCAD Pro, offline: commercial use, STEP, IGES, DXF and SVG export, flat patterns, and adding a Convert to Solid result to your model. Your files are never locked: a file made in Pro opens, edits and saves in Free. CoCAD Pro was not on sale yet at this release; it went on sale on 8 November 2026.

Help > Take the tour walks you through the window, and the guide folder beside CoCAD has a ten-minute getting-started page.
After a notice the first time you run it, CoCAD checks for updates each time it starts. You can turn that off and check by hand in Settings > Updates.
