Version 3.0.0
2024-09-25
NEW
- In this version, the Replacement feature was redesigned and adapted for both Windows and macOS. You can now use all the previous functions and much more. After the replacement procedure, all images can be applied and exported to the Bill of Materials (BOM). Use real codes and images in the final BOM report.
- From this version, the BOM becomes more advanced and feature rich. First, you can select which BOM you prefer – local (default) or web-based (as it was before). Second, the local BOM (which we call BOMapp) now has API mechanisms. This means you can create your own apps and integrations with your ERP, MRP, or any other system.
- We've listened to your feedback about dress-up and its weak points. We are thrilled to announce that from now on, you can edit previously created features. This means you can change the thickness of panels, the number of shelves, or the spacing type. All newly created designs can now be edited after they are created.
- We've added a new function – Grain Direction Refresh. This command is useful if you have already assigned materials, but after parameter or configuration changes, the grain direction needs to be recalculated and adapted to the changed situation. Please check out the "What's New" videos for more examples.
IMPROVED
- While less visible, this change is very important for us. It allows for the updating of separate modules of the system – Material Editor, Replacement, or BOMapp. Now we can ensure that you receive all the updates in the new version.
FIXED
- Some users had issues with hardware attachment when their models had many components. Now it should work faster and more reliably.
- There are many small bug fixes and improvements to enhance your experience and reduce the number of issues.

IMPROVED
- We’ve added a new keyword {Item.PartName} which extracts Part Name property from Fusion360 and can be displayed in a BOM or final report.
- For safety reasons, we’ve turned on the backup function for JoinerCAD.db file. So, now after every Save click in a Material Editor, we’ll create a backup file, which is stored in ...\WW Data\DB backup directory.
FIXED
- In a very specific situations JoinerCAD.db file has been corrupted and users weren’t able to use JoinerCAD. Now we are dealing with this issue and JoinerCAD database file shouldn’t ruin your day and projects.
- Yet another set of Hardware attachment bugfixes. More and more users are implementing hardware attachment mechanisms in their workflows, this means that we are getting feedback on how you are using Smart Hardware Attachment, and we can improve this module.
- If you are using older macOS and had problems with JoinerCAD, we have good news for you. We were able to find reasons why users with older macOS versions couldn’t use JoinerCAD. Let’s give it a try for this release if you are user with an older machine.

Version 2.4.0
2023-09-18
NEW
- Smart Hardware attachment. A new tool has been developed that allows users to quickly and easily insert, modify and update hardware components if geometry changes. This function has analysis mechanisms so that you can quickly and easily place hardware components, knobs or feet. This new function is one of the largest in the history of JoinerCAD.
- Videos indication. Users will be able to see an indication whenever a new video appears on our YouTube channel. Watch the toolbar and when the Video icon changes, click on it and you will immediately be directed to our YouTube channel where you can see the latest videos.
- Messaging platform. We have introduced a user messaging tool that will allow us to deliver important messages directly to the JoinerCAD application environment. You will always be informed when new samples are added or important version changes are made.
IMPROVED
- New Samples. The Smart Hardware attachment command would be worth very little if there were no hardware samples for you to take and use. We have added them and they will be available upon installation of our sample library. And if you have already installed it, here is a link with instructions on how to download the Smart Hardware components and install them. You can download them from here.
