Re: Issue #5694 Broken View

Hi, I have tested this feature for one drawing so far, and it worked perfectly, thanks! Most useful thing to have for many practical mechanical parts; in my case it was simple square beams, for which it worked as advertised. For future development, I'd suggest that combining this with ProjectionGrou...

Thanks! Then it's not just me. I think it is only rather recent builds, I think I did not have this problem with builds 0.22dev 35xxx, at least. Let's hope it's something simple :D

[BUG?] TD Leaderline jumps to page corner after save-load cycle

Hi! It seems that TD Leaderline jumps to page corner after save-load cycle. In the attached file, the leaderline position (5.24 mm, 5.25 mm) is relative to the drawing center (as it should); but after I save the file, close FreeCAD, and open FreeCAD and reload the file, then the leaderline jumps to ...

Re: FreeCAD build requires gtest (googletest), but the build system does not check for it

GoogleTest is included in the source tree via a submodule -- you must run git submodule update --init Ahh, ok! Thanks, I completely forgot about checking for any new git submodules when something is missing. It sure would be nice to get some kind of a reminder when one runs "git fetch upstream...

FreeCAD build requires gtest (googletest), but the build system does not check for it

FreeCAD build requires gtest (googletest), but the build system does not check for it. For a recent 0.22dev compilation, I needed to install the lib with "sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev", which is totally fine, but the CMake build system did not check for that dependency. The compilatio...

Re: Assembly 4 HoleAxis broken in 36438

I only tried this newer version starting today, so I may have missed something on the forum somewhere. Is this part of a bigger problem? Hello! It's actually a part of a bigger problem in the core FreeCAD, issue 11958: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=746529#p746529 . There is not (yet) a ...

Re: Who can help if not Zolko

I suppose this statement is incorrect and should read „ This version of Assembly4 is not compatible with FreeCAD version you are running ” Not true, I think the warning in Asm4 is exactly correct. Generally, what you say might be true, but in this case the 0.22dev has introduced certain rather irri...

Re: Github Issue re ClipGroup

Now that I'm reading that @wandererfan, I wonder if ClipGroup are actually of any use. Maybe I have fixed something that actually needs to be removed altogether. Can power users of techdraw weight in to explain the usecases (if any) of the clip group? Or if this tool should be deprecated. Hi, I cur...

Re: Drawing of Assembly "Exploded Views"

@aapo You are correct it would be better to have minimal impact on techdraw and encapsulate as much as possible in the exploded view object. Now the question is, is it doable. As exploded views are App::FeaturePython we are still going to need to handle them specifically in shapeExtractor. But at l...

Re: Drawing of Assembly "Exploded Views"

@wandererfan what do you think would be the best way? Is it acceptable that techdraw has Assembly as dependency? (the above snippet is simplified and in fact needs a few utils function from assembly). I was thinking that perhaps when the user creates a view with the normal tool, we could detect tha...
