Ver. 4.2.3 - Web version notice, inner offset, fix for the white-window startup hang and more (2026/11/11) - Leathercraft CAD

Release date: November 11, 2026
v4.2.3 is a maintenance release. It fixes the v4.2.0 startup hang on Windows, where the app could stay on a white window after launch, and adds inner offset. It also introduces the Web version of Leathercraft CAD (https://cad.coffee-craft.net/) from inside the app.

✨ Highlights

  • Fix for the white-window startup hang (Windows) — v4.2.0 could stay on a white window after launch, or take a very long time to start
  • Inner offset — with the Offset tool and nothing selected, point inside a closed area to preview a line offset toward the inside, then click to confirm
  • Web version notice — a notice at startup and "Open the Web version of Leathercraft CAD" in the Help menu take you to the Web version of Leathercraft CAD

🚀 New Features & Enhancements

  • [Web Version] A notice introducing the Web version of Leathercraft CAD is now shown at startup (you can choose not to show it again for this version).
  • [Web Version] Added "Open the Web version of Leathercraft CAD" to the Help menu.
  • [Watch Band] Choosing the Watch Band feature now tells you that it is still a work in progress and that the finished version is available in the Web version of Leathercraft CAD.
  • [Offset] Added inner offset: with the Offset tool and nothing selected, point inside a closed area to preview a line offset toward the inside of that area, then click to confirm. With shapes selected, the tool works as before.
  • [Selection] When Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on Mac) has already selected everything on the active layer, pressing it again selects the shapes on all layers.
  • [Zoom] Ctrl (Cmd on Mac) + wheel now always zooms, even with shapes selected. Rotating the selection by 1 degree with the wheel, and rotating / scaling a tracing image with the wheel, have been removed; use the handles instead.
  • [Print] The print page placement is now also saved in real size (mm), so it opens at the same position in the Web version.
  • [Smart Corner] An arc or curve between two straight lines is now always treated as a rounded corner regardless of its length (a hole is placed at the middle of the corner).

🐛 Bug Fixes

  • [Startup / Windows] Fixed v4.2.0 sometimes staying on a white window after launch, or taking a very long time to start. When another app on the PC had a window that was not responding, the app was kept waiting while registering its bundled fonts.
  • [Bezier] Fixed a control point snapped to the grid losing the snap when the mouse button was released.

The installers are available from "How To Obtain The Installers" on the Leathercraft CAD [English].
