LibreCAD, being a fork of QCAD 2.0.5 Community Edition, for a long time had only a Points-based Grid.

Now there are settings to fully customize the Grid look:
1) with Points type its possible to set Metagrid to Continious line type (or other).
2) with Lines type its possible to fully customize both, main Grid and Metagrid line types.

Also, its possible to customize the look of Axis Lines and extend them infinitely.

:freecad: #FreeCAD's 🆕 #Curves Workbench now has two separate #analysis #tools:
First one — #Surface Analysis, for analyzing #NURBS surface smoothness visually. It has 3 modes:
1) #Zebra🦓 ;
2) #Rainbow🌈 ;
3) #Isophote🌔.
Second one — #Draft Analysis, specially for #InjectionMolding design.

:freecad: #FreeCAD's 🆕 Zebra Tool actually has 3 modes:
1) #Zebra🦓 ;
2) #Rainbow🌈 ;
3) #Isophote🌔.
Zebra Tool main purpose is to analyze #NURBS surface smoothness (curvature) and discover rough edges visually comparing representation of stripes mapped onto surface.
📝 Now this tool also could be used for #Mold Analysis to visualize #InjectionMolding Core/Cavity Split: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=694161#p694161
