FreeCAD Topological Naming (toponaming) Branch

About

This branch is dedicated to integrating code that improves the topological naming problem in FreeCAD. There have been several attempts to address it over the years within FreeCAD. In reality, toponaming is an issue that no modern CAD software is fully immune to. This is because the solutions are complex.

Thanks to an independent developer named Zheng Lei ('realthunder'), who has gone the farthest in the effort of fixing toponaming in FreeCAD, and has provided a proof of concept fix in his own branch named 'Link' branch.

• @Realthunder's Link branch: https://github.com/realthunder/FreeCAD
• Official FreeCAD main ('master') branch: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/
• Official FreeCAD toponaming git repository: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/tree/development/toponaming

Objective

Per the FreeCAD developer meetings that occurred during the pre-release of v0.20, 'toponaming' was identified as one of the main targets for merge in the v0.21/v1.0 release cycle.

Contributing

During this development cycle there will be nightly builds provided for testers to test and report results back to the developers.
