A2+ V0.4.39a decimal number offset not working

Post by unit1 »

Hello, FreeCAD'ers

a long time using FreeCAD. But I've encountered some issue with A2+ V0.4.39a WB plane to plane offset constraints. In the dialog menu I can set the offset distance only by even numbers i.e. 1,2.. etc. I don't why I can set needed offset something like 0,5, 0,75... mm or so?

Looks like the input dialog box does not support the decimal point numbers? Or I do not know how to enter them. Because when trying to enter some decimal numbers i can enter only one number and decimation symbol "," and nothing more. I thought I could change the unit of measurement from milimeters to um and etc. But that didn't worked either.

Going to change part's position over model three selected item's data->position I can change part's position, but when tried to change a constraint's data->offset i can enter decimal numbers but that doesn't overwrites firstly entered number and thus the part position is the same as firstly was set by plane<->plane offset constraint.

Yes indeed, i can confirm this issue. (wondering why this has not been reported before)
I will have a look at this problem shortly.

For now, you can edit the offset within the combo view and hit the "solve constraints" button. This way all values are accepted.

Thanks for reporting!
