Testing the Drawing Module

Post by triplus »

It appears there is a demand for testing the Drawing Module. It's in the stage where I any testing would be quite helpful, mainly to get feedback on the user interface and push this into the master for testing. I am aware there are some deficiencies both in missing features and bugs, but I need some motivation to finish up the GUI to make it more user friendly. Input on this would be helpful. In particular GUI mocks - hand drawings on tissue paper are accepted!

Note: Windows testers would be helpful
http://freecadamusements.blogspot.com/2 ... art-1.html

On Ubuntu 13.10 (32bit) for successful compile i had to use:

Code: Select all

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DFREECAD_USE_EXTERNAL_PIVY=true ../FreeCAD_sf_master
And just a side note:
Cloning FreeCAD shouldn't take too long (it's about a 70mb download).
If i am not mistaken it is about twice that much.

Anyway after i compiled successfully i opened Part Design workbench and created single Box. I opened Drawing Workbench and tried to create drawing of it. In about 10 attempts trying different options (3 buttons) to insert a view only once was i successful everything else crashed FreeCAD. I did not see the template itself in that try just single view but trying to test the features i eventually crashed FreeCAD too.

The most common output in the terminal i got was:

Always after the start:

Code: Select all

void DBusMenuExporterPrivate::addAction(QAction*, int): Already tracking action "Toggle visibility" under id 228
Or inserting A3 Template and trying to insert new View:

Code: Select all

Section Plane doesn't intersect part
Unhandled Base::Exception caught in GUIApplication::notify.
The error message is: Sectional View Result is Empty
After doing everything else usually this happens as end result:

Code: Select all

*** Abort *** an exception was raised, but no catch was found.
	... The exception is:SIGSEGV 'segmentation violation' detected. Address 6400a9
P.S. This is it for now. Tomorrow i can try on Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit) to see if it behaves better!

Well i had some spare time and struggled for a while but could not figure out how to successfully compile it on Ubuntu 13.10 (64 bit). For now i guess is for others to try and report back what they achieved.

Hi triplus, I'v built the Drawing branch on my Kubuntu 64 bit machine and had no troubles with the build. As usual, I built with external pivy as that package is already installed and sense I have zipos installed, I flagged that to be used external as well. Compiled as release build.

I'm getting crashes at several points but the most common one is when I go to the Drawing WB, select a drawing template, then try to select the part to be used in the Drawing. Right at the point of clicking on the part is where the crash occurs. I have yet to see this branch produce a Drawing no matter which way I try to get at it. Looks like there is still a bit more work to do. The back trace below.

Looks like there is still a bit more work to do.
Yes this i guess confirms what i have seen currently there is too much FreeCAD crashing to do any tests. Will wait for Luke to confirm we should try again and then try to compile and test and hopefully give some useful feedback again.

Re: Testing the Drawing Module

hi guys,

Please be patient. I only put that guide up because a few people were asking how to test it. I need to do a second part of the guide because the user interface (task view / toolbar) hasn't been set up yet. This is mainly because nobody has helped with feedback/ideas, so I've been putting it off...

For example:

0x00007ffff70b5d00 in App::PropertyLink::getValue() const () from /home/mark/Build/Drawing/lib/libFreeCADApp.so
(gdb) bt
#0 0x00007ffff70b5d00 in App::PropertyLink::getValue() const () from /home/mark/Build/Drawing/lib/libFreeCADApp.so
#1 0x00007fffc45ff688 in Drawing::FeaturePage::getPageWidth() const () from /home/mark/Build/Drawing/Mod/Drawing/Drawing.so

This i'd imagine is because a template hasn't been loaded. This i need to explain in part 2.

Ideally I need help with ideas for the GUI. This also includes Icons too...

No worry Luke do not feel the pressure. We will wait for part 2 of the tutorial.

Yes i do believe i was facing this (template not being loaded) based on my impressions trying different things.

Did you have also a look here: http://freecad-tutorial.blogspot.de/201 ... qus_thread
Here Normand explains how to load a template.
It might be, that also the osifont is needed. This font was used, when I tested Lukes Drawing workbench. From the 4 buttons shown, for me only the first two produced something useful, not crashing.
I was able to make a view from a cube and give it a dimension after some trials.

Adding an angle dimension to the cube gave: The angle could not be calculated.

Hi Luke
I'm happy to make the icons if you like? I suggest you just don't have an icon at first for all the places you want one, such that the default white box with black cross shows up, then I will go through it and make something for all those spots, if you like?

I see. I assumed two available options in drop down menu do have real templates saved under Mod/Drawing/Templates for custom build but this is not true. Indeed i will investigate next time and try to load one manually. Quick test when i wanted to load custom A4 template from default FreeCAD location (usr/share...) crashed it. Maybe new SVG templates need additional "code snippet" or something else is the cause. I am not sure i will have time to play with this before weekend. Anyway there is no rush and i do believe much will get sorted out when playing more with it.

Re: Testing the Drawing Module

In order to avoid a crash after adding a page, a doubleclick onto the page icon in the document tree is needed. Then a drawing view is generated and a template can be specified.

There is may be something wrong with the document update mechanism.
