Clone placement disapear
Hi, after making a part clone, it has all the placement properties but when the file is saved and reopened it disapear. It is no longer possible to change the position nor use expressions.
After fresh clone:

Re: Clone placement disapear
What kind of clone is it? From what I can see in the tree it does not look like the Dolly icon but rather like a BaseFeature. That doesn't have it's own placement.
Edit: I see, it clearly says, that it's a BaseFeature

Re: Clone placement disapear
I can confirm the behaviour. To be honest: I am a bit worried that the PartDesign Clone creates a BaseFeature which is called Clone and is in the tree positioned outside of the body. Perhaps there is something unfinished yet.
What is it what you want to achieve with this clone?

Re: Clone placement disapear
I wanted to use clone to make a identical object that update itself if the source change (shape and rotation). I used draw->clone and draw->array instead and it worked fine for the part object

No, it is on purpose to keep the clone out of the body because it actually doesn't perform any operation, i.e. add a feature to the body.chrisb wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:22 am I can confirm the behaviour.

Re: Clone placement disapear
In my drawings, I use clone function for visualisation of repetitive parts, like on this one (slipring on fencing reel).
Most left brown, magenta and blue parts are bodies. Rest of them are clones. It will be realy nice feature te have them able to move around.
