Label display issues

Post by mwlandolsi »

Hello everybody.
Here I want to report some issues related to label display that I faced :
1- text size : the default value is very small, 0.2 mm : not readable text.
2- Text font : could not be changed
3- label type : only custom label is updated on change. For example, when choosing label type as Volume for two objects or bodies, the first can be displayed, the second, no, even when changing the text size.
4- question : how to set the units for labels : for example, volume in cm3 instead of ml.

Code: Select all

OS: Linux Mint 20.1 (X-Cinnamon/cinnamon)

Version: 0.20.

Cannot confirm, for me everything works fine... But it seems to me you are having the famous default coin text issue... can you check if the normal Draft text shows the same behaviour? (Unable to change text settings, and it uses a default serif, times new roman-like font).

That's the first time I see it on Linux, though. That bug usually appears on Windows. Usually it's because there is some problem between the graphic driver and the coin3D library, which is responsible for displaying the FreeCAD 3D view...

#1: Known issue. See: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=60483. Just set a different size in the preferences.

#2: Can't confirm, see Yorik's comment.

#3: This not completely clear, but you cannot select multiple target objects.

#4: This is currently not possible.

Okay then it is indeed our famous coin3D text bug.
What is your graphical setup? Do you have a dedicated 3D chip (nvidia, radeon)?

I'm in Linux too, and I have the "famous" coin_text bug. This is the post in the past thread:

After #ElonMuskBuyTwitter I'm no more on Twitter, that's really enough :-(

That's strange, I have the exact same nvidia driver in use here...
The only difference I see is that you have a Quadro chip. @ragohix769 what's your platform and graphical setup?
