Feature: offset tool in sketcher

[Piero69]

I too get this error ...

some help?

I'm getting the following error when trying to use the macro:

Code: Select all

23:23:02  <class 'IndentationError'>: ('expected an indented block', ('/home/___________/.FreeCAD/Macro/SketcherOffset.FCMacro', 28, 1, '""" \n  read selected items and show the offset distance\n""" \n'))

Would just love to have this one work for me. Constraining every little corner for tolerance just destroys my little soul

Please attach a preferably simple sketch, so edi can have a look at it.

I get this error when trying to offset a simple rectangle or a line. Not sure a sketch is necessary.

I can confirm:
- Select a line
- call the macro
-> The error shows before even the Popups shows up asking for the offset.

I guess this error is a result of Abdullah's recent Sketcher changes

I am unsure about this: I checked an older version of the macro, when it still was called OffsetInSketcher.py and that works.

Just checked the older version as well and it works fine. I will use that one until things are figured out. Unfortunately I cannot help more then test the updates

Thank you everybody for your posts in the last days. I have fixed the bug and will try to initiate updating the source in master-github in the next days.
Please use meanwhile the source published in this thread.

What happened ?

The original macro includes many "green" comments (# comment). But macros published in the master must have only "white" comments (''' comment'''). I do not know why.
When changing the comments from one kind to the other, python-syntax errors (indentation errors) occured. And nobody tested.

Other macros installed via AddonManager have "# ... " comments. You may ask in the Python subforum about how to use them.

Source in master-github
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-macr ... et.FCMacro
has been updated. Hope it's now without issues.

Works again, thanks. It seems that at least some of the redundancies could be avoided. I will have a closer look and report back.
