dependency graph

Post by cedric52 »

The option dependency graph in the tools always return a window: graphviz have not been found on this system, indicate the path. I followed the given link= https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Std_DependencyGraph wich leads to= https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Downl ... ndows.html. I have installed and executed graphviz-2.38.msi directly in the root of the Freecad18 directory. I have also tryed the .zip version. When I try to indicate the path information, the searching window is not even showing any file present in any directory nor subdirectories, even when using *.* so it is impossible to indicate the path, and I do not know wich file is the good one.

I guess you are using windows - which I don't, so this is mere guessing. The graphviz package should contain a program dot.exe, which is what is called from FreeCAD. Can you run this dot.exe manually?

Hi cedric52,
With the MSI installer :
  • let the default install path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\"
  • Click Next until finish then Close
Next, under FreeCAD :
  • click Yes on the "graphviz have not been found" form
  • Browse to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Graphviz2.38\bin\" You don't need to select a file!
  • Click OK
