* Book: sketching step by step, with three clips and a numbered screenshot The sketching page now opens with a first sketch in four steps: start a sketch on the Top plane, draw a 60 x 40 rectangle and a 12 mm circle with typed values, dimension the circle until the sketch is fully constrained, and finish. Each step has a short clip, and the last a screenshot numbering the Sketch tools, a constraint, a dimension, the sketch's state and Finish Sketch. doc_shots.py gains what these needed: a setup that runs before recording, so a clip starts where the last one ended; sketch framing; Enter sent as two input frames; and clips that keep their pauses (hovering a plane).

All the sketching figures are made again on SolidCraft 0.29.0, with the clips keeping a moment on each result. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Book: solid features step by step, with four clips The solid features page now opens with the sketch from the sketching page made into an open box in four steps, each with a short clip: extrude it 12 mm, shell it with the top open, round its outer top edges, then make it 20 mm tall from the timeline while the shell and the fillet rebuild. The panel table and what follows get a heading of their own. doc_shots.py: the feature shots share their steps with the setups that lead up to the next shot, and fail when a feature on the timeline carries a warning or an error, so no figure shows one. Shell comes before Fillet for that reason: shelling through the rounds needed the kernel's boolean retry. trim_idle.py takes --hold, the seconds of each idle stretch to keep (default 0.1 as before); the doc clips keep 0.8 s, so a reader sees each result. The app gets up to three minutes to answer on a busy machine.

The edit at the end now rebuilds all of it. The parameters page gets a screenshot of the Parameters dialog numbering apply as you go, user parameters, model parameters by feature, an expression and its value. The features clips are made again on SolidCraft 0.29.0.

What follows gets a heading of its own. doc_shots.py builds the leaves from commands, with Leaf B lifted and set back so the joint visibly brings it into place. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Book: assemblies add Drive Joints; the assembly clips again on 0.29.0 A fourth step drives the hinge with Drive Joints: the slider swings Leaf B while a ghost shows where it started, and OK keeps the new angle. The assembly clips are made again on SolidCraft 0.29.0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * Book: getting started, sheet metal and import/export get pictures Getting started gains a section on the start page: a numbered screenshot (new design, open, import, recent, samples, the File menu) and a clip opening a sample from it. Sheet metal opens with a tray in three steps, each with a clip: a base flange from a sketched rectangle, edge flanges from two top edges, and the flat pattern with its bends. Import and export opens with the File menu, numbered. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
