Hi I am new to FreeCAD.
I have problems trying to generate dressup tags for a pretty simple model, which is just a pad on a 2D profile. The only thing unusual about it is that the pad is in the negative direction.
When trying to generate dressup tags, the profile path gets messed up and I see a bunch of warnings
22:32:40 PathGeom.WARNING: <class 'Part.Hyperbola'> not supported for flipping
22:32:40 PathDressupHoldingTags.INFO: replaced edge with 2 straight segments
I have attached my FreeCAD file if anyone can take a look and tell me what is going wrong?
Here is what I am seeing, unwanted wacky tool paths peeling away from the part profile.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
If I use Autogenerate with 14 points it works as usual and looks the same as yours.

Right so I guess you are seeing the same issues?
I also tried 14 automatic points and have some bad path geometry with some tool paths wandering away from the profile.

OK sounds great if you have it working on 0.21.
Could you share a link to that version? I tried the latest daily appimage but that didn't seem stable (could not generate any DressupTags), so I guess that is not what you are using.
I was just going to try and mill out the file you sent me but sadly 0.20 vomited when I tired setting feedrate (for some reason 0.20 could not generate gcode with feedrate, although I did see it specified in your updated file from 0.21).
Cheers!

@chrisb So I've given 14 auto-generated supports a try with the 0.21 weekly build that came out about a day ago https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Bund ... 0.AppImage.
The steps I took were to remove everything in my FreeCAD file except the sketch and redo padding as well as the contour job and dressup.
Although things are a lot better, I still see some undesirable path artifacts and an Exception "No connection to Vector" after applying the DressupTags operation. So, something weird is going on... I guess these artifacts may be OK in some applications but I don't want to trash any mill bits unnecessarily, plus it does seem to be a bug.
Here is an image of what I am seeing I've also attached my FreeCad file from using 0.21 to do the dressup operation

I was able to work around my issue, but I am quite positive there is a bug with the DressupTags.
I still see geometry issues in the path with my original settings in ver 0.21, but my workaround was to change my z axis step down increment to 1mm (previously it was 0.7 mm).
I expect the bug relates to geometry calculations for the tabs, which I imagine are somewhat convoluted. Since 7 is a prime, I guessed a "nice" number like 1 mm would help and it did.
I also changed the number of automatically generated tags to be 10. Although I did not notice bad geometry with 14, I did see console errors about disconnected vertices, and selecting 10 made this problem go away.
If needed I can file a bug report and upload the example FreeCAD file that caused issues, along with the one that does not (attached here as Experiment)
