Draft Annotations 0.18 fails in 0.17

Post by Geoplace »

Hi I'm just encounter an issue of backward compatibility, I don't know if it is an expected bug with no solution or must be addressed.

This is the workflow.

1.- Open FreeCAD v0.18 and switch to DraftWorkbench.

2.- Create an Annotation.

3.- Save the File.

4.- Open FreCAD v0.17 and open de File we've just saved.

5.- The Annotation get's corrupted. The "Display Mode" property get's blank and don't show anymore.

  • I test the reversed workflow from 0.17 and modify it in 0.18 and reopen in 0.17 and the annotations get's no problem.

Here are the versions and screen shots.

Please do not post these in the Developers corner. Topics discussing possible bugs should go in the Help on using FreeCAD forum, as explained in the Bug submission guidelines topic, unless you are providing a patch (code) to fix the bug.

Indeed the new Draft annotations in 0.18 are not backwards compatible with 0.17. But since 0.17 is at end of life now, I don't think it's worth backporting...

Thank you for your guidance and explanations.

Maybe is worth to include a comment in the Release notes of v0.18

Great Day
