This week in FreeCAD development:

Sketcher:

• PaddleStroke added code to prevent Polar Pattern and Offset from creating reversed arcs and fixed another bug where Ctrl+A would not select points in the Geometry list.
• sparker0594 fixed a regression where the 3-point arc tool would not retain the final constraint of the 3rd point when it is a tangent constraint.

Part and PartDesign:

• kadet1090 fix misplaced preview for the Boolean operation in PD.
• FlachyJoe fixed a bug where applying MultiTransform to PolarPattern would fail.

CAM:

• tarman3 fixed a couple of minor UI issues and two bugs in the LeadIn/Out dressup.
• Connor fixed a regression that prevented the Surface operation from v1.0.2 files from working.
• davidgilkaufman fixed a minor UI issue and made the experimental adaptive model awareness feature optional and off by default.
• sliptonic removed the Split Output by Fixture command from UI as it conflicts with the primary use of fixtures in the Job setup.

Other changes:

• PaddleStroke fixed a crash that occurred when making a grounded subassembly flexible. He also fixed the bug preventing image data being pasted from the clipboard into the 3D view.
• WandererFan fixed a bug where the area annotation position would be set to (0,0) after dragging the annotation. He also patched Area Dimension to actually use unit schema values.
• Roy_043 and furgo16 fixed a dozen issues in BIM, some of them related to materials and multi-materials.
• theo-vt allowed the Measurement tool and the Quick Measure feature to calculate length for ellipse, hyperbola, and parabola.
• Various GUI fixes by tetektoza, ipatch, Syres916, and kadet1090.

Additional improvements and fixes were contributed by Syres916, LarryWoestman, captain0xff, marcuspollio, chennes, ipatch, ebswift, paullee0, OPGL, pyro9, Roy-043, kpemartin, petterreinholdtsen, and tetektoza.
