Problems with Draw Style on Arcs

Post by elsordo »

I have a strange problem. I have a model, called house.fcstd, that contains two arcs in addition to other geometry. The arcs disappear when I set the Draw Style Property to anything other than "Solid". In the same model, I created a Line object and had no problems setting the Draw Style property to dashed.

This seems to be related to the configuration of data in my model. I discovered this when I created another model, called TestArc.fcstd, that contains a single arc object. With this one, I do not have any problems setting the Draw Style property to Dashed.

So what is wrong with the house.fcstd model.

My freecad installation information is

Maybe something wrong with your graphic drivers? Everything is up to date?

Indeed, the problem is with my platform. I tested the behavior on a Windows box and a different Ubuntu box and found that the Draw Style worked correctly.

I tried updating the open-source drivers but the problem persisted which is not surprising given that the Mobo/Processor pair dates back to 2011.

Thanks for the help.
