Re: a2plus/a2+ bug? freecad crashes when duplicating external object

Post by Laurie Hartley »

I decided to uninstall V18 and was able to run the V19 appimage. All my files open now without crashing FreeCAD. I have A2Plus, Assembly 3 and Assembly 4 set up in V19.
The only snag remaining is I get an error message report when I open one of my old files even though I can move the assembled parts.. See image attached.
If I could solve that problem I would be even happier than I am now so any help would be appreciated.

The error messages are not very severe, as they are caused by some restructuring of the workbench and most things will still work.

There is an upgrade tool for old files within the A2plus menu:

A2Plus/Misc/'Migrate Proxies of imported Parts'

Be sure to have a backup. Open an old file, use the tool mentioned above, save and reopen the file. The error messages should be gone.
