After applying this change: https://github.com/mlampert/FreeCAD/com ... 3c9d3901f7

Pressing drilling betton causes this:

Code: Select all

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Data1/kostia/Bin/git/FreeCAD/build/Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathOpGui.py", line 94, in setEdit
    self.setupTaskPanel(TaskPanel(vobj.Object, self.deleteObjectsOnReject(), page, selection))
  File "/Data1/kostia/Bin/git/FreeCAD/build/Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathOpGui.py", line 602, in __init__
    self.featurePages.append(TaskPanelBaseLocationPage(obj, features))
  File "/Data1/kostia/Bin/git/FreeCAD/build/Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathOpGui.py", line 157, in __init__
    self.form = self.getForm()
  File "/Data1/kostia/Bin/git/FreeCAD/build/Mod/Path/PathScripts/PathOpGui.py", line 409, in getForm
    if QtCore.__version_info__[0] == 4:
<type 'exceptions.AttributeError'>: 'module' object has no attribute '__version_info__'
Searched a bit by myself, found this: https://github.com/mottosso/Qt.py/issues/40 very well explained. Nice. But it looks that on later Qt5 __version_info__ and __version__ was removed, or placed somewhere else?

Tried to change "if" line to "if QtCore.qVersion()[0] == 4:". Now that's worked for me. But will it work on Qt4? :)

Second problem. Now It doesnt' produce path for drilling.
Extruded sketch with holes, added Job, Tool, selected top face, Drilling, but pressing Ok does nothing. in output I see

Code: Select all

Drilling Select Mode
PathCircularHoleBase(224).setDepths(Drilling, 10.0, 10.0, BoundBox (2.59374, 2.84076, 0, 89.2986, 68.7958, 10))

Hm. opened drilling operation again, removed this top face from BaseGeometry list, then all holes appeared.

And a question, what Base location does at all? Tried to input there something,butcouldn't understand. And I can't close drilling operation after that :)

The base geometry for drilling and helix are the actual holes. So when you add the top face as a base geometry the algorithm can't figure out how to drill that one. If you don't use "Reset" (which will try and find all drillable features in Base) you can select cylinder faces or circular edges and add them to the base geometry list - the operation will perform a drilling op on the center of each of them.

I cannot reproduce the not being able to close the dialog - would you have some more details on what you did?

Thanks for testing the QT version and also for finding an approach that works ;) I've updated the branch.

Yes, thank you. I played a bit with it, my alarming here was to early :)

First - I don't have any clue, what this "Base Location" in drilling operation dialoque does. So when I successefuly created Drilling operation, I opened it's dialofuq again and found

And if I press "Save" button, nothing happens."Close" button I can'tchange, on top buttons are grayed out to. In console no errors or anything aboutit.

No "thanks", I deed a very little. I wish I could make more, still laying in the bed and have plenty of time, but ny head is killing me, aand I'm lazy to.

But you, guys, are my real heros. You are doing so much... You are making so much valuable job.

P.S. Make a poster with all FreeCAD devs, I will put it on the wall :)
P.P.S Do you have some conferences, or some kind of meetups somewhere in europe?

Right, this is the feature roivai added a few weeks ago. When the dialog with "Global X" and "Global Y" is up and you can either click somewhere on your model with the mouse, or enter coordinates directly into the input fields - and the operation will drill additional holes there. So if you need an additional hole to screw down your model or last minute you want some more vent holes ....

I am (re-)building the paths of an object using ShapeStrings. Using "Pocket from face" I get unexpected results:
  • Pocket from face contains all numbers from the upper line, alas, 6 and 0 are missing. I guess it's the already known problem from the U-shape.
  • I get an error message in the report view:

    Code: Select all

    Exception (Sun Aug 27 08:00:07 2017): failed to get bound box  
    {'swhat': 'failed to get bound box', 'sfunction': '', 'btranslatable': False, 'sfile': '', 'sclassname': 'N4Base10ValueErrorE', 'breported': True, 'sErrMsg': 'failed to get bound box', 'iline': 0}Something unexpected happened. Check project and tool config.
  • Using the Line pattern I get lots of vertical rapids - which is probably correct; the islands inside of the 8 are pocketed as well

  • Using Offset pattern creates a path for the 0 respecting the island. The islands inside of the 8 are still ignored

  • Switching back to linear: now the path for 0 is created.
  • Spiral pattern respects the islands in 8 and 0,but not in 6.

If I use "Profile from Faces" with "Process Holes" I get a Path as desired.

Edit: The paths for the letters with islands are fancy: In the first go all the insides are processed in the second go all outsides.

On Ubuntu 0.17.11919 I can edit an existing Drilling object, i.e. remove or add elements etc. Same version on MacOS I get only the Transform panel which allows to move an Element in the coordinate system. The other panels I tried don't have that problem. It might be a locale or Qt 5 problem. (I like having the locale in the FreeCAD info).

I am sorry for buzzing so much around, but I found something more: I have added a PocketFromFace for the outer frame (no letters at all). The generated path contains very small bits of the letters, which happen to have the same depth as the outer frame.
The letters themselves have ProfileFromFaces paths.
