Tiled view imposed

[alberich]

Latest, for me, FC daily:

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13509 (Git)
Build type: None
Branch: master
Hash: 0258808ccb6ba3bd5ea9312f79cd023f1a8671b7
Python version: 2.7.12
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

Every time I import a new part into Assembly I get jumped from full window to tiled view and have to toggle back. Didn't happen with previous daily.

Edit: Update Parts causes the same jump to tiled view.

Would you please give more details than that...

Detailed process to make it happen. Please.

I cooked up a minimal test case.

1. Create a Part - just a default cube

Save file.




2. Open new file. Select Assembly 2 WB

3. From Assembly 2 dropdown, click Import Part and select the above created bugTestCube. Upon import, display jumps to tiled

Assembly2 is an external module that is not part of official FreeCAD. Its development has stopped because its author abandoned the project, and the person who took it up after him died last September (see announcement at the top). Nobody else claimed it. Therefore it is not currently fully compatible with v0.17.

I quoted your edit, thinking you were mentioning another way to get the bug, but without using Assembly2.

I hadn't realized Assy2 was orphaned. Nevertheless, this is a thing that worked properly up until this latest daily. Something happened between 13509 and the previous that caused it.


Btw, what, then, is the correct way to handle assembly in 0.17? I thought I had this grokked.

I switched from 0.17 daily to the 0.17 release version

Code: Select all

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13509 (Git) AppImage
Build type: None
Branch: master
Hash: 0258808ccb6ba3bd5ea9312f79cd023f1a8671b7
Python version: 2.7.6
Qt version: 4.8.6
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

and the problem is gone.

I consider the problem solved but I justed want to note that the release version uses Qt 4.8.6, vs 4.8.7 in the daily build I had been using.

Yes this part is usually a bit exaggerated. That is Assembly 2 workbench is known to work in both FreeCAD 0.16 and FreeCAD 0.17 (Py2/Qt4) just fine.

and the problem is gone.

Good to hear that.
