RoadMap: Planned Features
CadQuery is not even close to finished!!!
Many features are planned for later versions. This page tracks them. If you find that you need features not listed here, let us know!
Workplanes
- rotated workplanes
support creation of workplanes at an angle to another plane or face
- workplane local rotations
rotate the coordinate system of a workplane by an angle.
- make a workplane from a wire
useful to select outer wire and then operate from there, to allow offsets
Assemblies
- implement more constraints
in plane, on axis, parallel to vector
2D operations
- arc construction using relative measures
instead of forcing use of absolute workplane coordinates
- tangent arcs
after a line
- centerpoint arcs
including portions of arcs as well as with end points specified
- trimming
ability to use construction geometry to trim other entities
- construction lines
especially centerlines
- 2D fillets
for a rectangle, or for consecutive selected lines
- 2D chamfers
based on rectangles, polygons, polylines, or adjacent selected lines
- mirror around centerline
using centerline construction geometry
- midpoint selection
select midpoints of lines, arcs
- face center
explicit selection of face center
- manipulate spline control points
so that the shape of a spline can be more accurately controlled
- feature snap
project geometry in the rest of the part into the work plane, so that they can be selected and used as references for other features.
- polyline edges
allow polyline to be combined with other edges/curves
3D operations
- rotation/transform that return a copy
The current rotateAboutCenter and translate method modify the object, rather than returning a copy
- primitive creation
- Need primitive creation for:
cone
torus
wedge
