Re: MultiTransform on PolarPattern → Traceback

According to the manual it is possible. And in case the manual is wrong, this should be handled more gracefully e.g. by greying out the icon if a non-compatible object is selected or a dialogue box to inform the user what's the issue, rather than a traceback. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issue...

MultiTransform on PolarPattern → Traceback

When a MultiTransform is applied to a PolarPattern then the following error appears: pyException: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> <class 'AttributeError'>: 'PartDesign.Feature' object has no attribute 'OriginalSubs' I believe this could be better han...

Good question. I'm curious myself.

Re: Total sheet number is filled out incorrectly

Are you using a macro or something to fill in sheet number? No. TD can do that natively since fddbac8f324c98235726fe58fefaf3edb1b73df4. AFAIK there is no logic in TD to calculate a sheet number or total sheets. It calculates it automatically when one of the two templates A4_LandscapeTD.svg or ANSIC...

Total sheet number is filled out incorrectly

The sheet number is filled out automatically. However, the total sheet number is always equal the current sheet number as far as I can tell:
sheet2.png
sheet2.png (6.18 KiB) Viewed 516 times
sheet1.png
sheet1.png (6.04 KiB) Viewed 516 times
I expect SHEET 1/2 and SHEET 2/2 instead of SHEET 1/1.

Code: Select all

Re: Extend centerlines + undo → segfault

Should be fixed by 10b9229492 . I can confirm that the segfault is gone in master. Note that cosmetic actions are not in general "undo-able" as they are not document objects. That's an implementation detail the general user is blissfully unaware of. And after the cat walked over the keybo...

Re: Orientation Vertical/Horizontal uses “Aligned” in function “Add Centerline Between 2 Points”

If there's just one option (aligned), the choice to use different orientations should be removed.

Re: TechDraw align diameter dimension

Sorry I can't help with a solution.

Many other programs (Inkscape, Gimp, LibreCAD) use a modifier (e.g. <shift>) and when depressed, snapping to common angles (0°, 45°, 90°, etc.) is activated. This would make for an intuitive UI for FreeCAD as well.

Re: Add cosmetic line through 2 points - deselectable radio buttons

I'd like to file a bug report to get this fixed. But I want to understand the function first. Can someone enlighten me what the 2d/3d buttons actually do? I did a few tests and it didn't matter what I selected, the result was always the same. What's the use-case to select either one, both or none of...
