How tu quote FreeCAD in a publication

Post by maurel »

Hi,

Could you please tell me what is the best way to refer to FreeCAD in a publication ?

Is there a particular sentence or should I mention only version and internet site ?

FreeCAD software Open Source parametric 3D CAD modeler version 0.14 (www.freecadweb.org)

not sure of the full answer here but one important point, when quoting the version number, you should include the last four digit group as this is often important. e.g version 0.14 is almost meaningless where as 0.14.3703 is the 0.14 "official release version"

Thanks for this information.
