During initialization the error invalid syntax (dimensioning.py, line 53) occurred in C:\Users\vosec\AppData\Roaming\FreeCAD\Macro\Mod\FreeCAD_drawing_dimensioning-d73728a75b595e3a40e749ca1d939e218d14b11d\InitGui.py

You have several errors about syntax in the Drawing Dimensioning Addon, the Fasteners Workbench, KiCADStepUP, and Part-o-Magic.

The Drawing Workbench is obsolete, so you shouldn't be using the Drawing Dimensioning Addon at all. Use TechDraw.

The syntax problems sounds like you are using Python 2 but some addons only support Python 3. You should not be using Python 2 because it is obsolete.

You really need to paste the information in Std_About to know more about your system. Remove all addons and install them again one by one until you identify one that is causing the problem.

Also, please notice that KiCADStepUp is an external workbench; therefore, you should ask the author of that workbench first if you have a problem with it. This addon is not maintained by the core FreeCAD team; none of the addons are. Their individual authors should be responsible for providing support in case something doesn't work right.

StepUp should work both with py2 and py3 but without having the feedback I asked for it is really difficult to help :lol:

I have downloaded Python v3.8 (64 bit) but
the Python Console in Freecad is still refering to Python v3.6.6

How can I implement the new Python version in Freecad ?

Your problem is not Python. Please provide the information asked by easyw-fc.

Do not use Drawing Dimensioning as it is obsolete.

Ok,
you shouldn't have issues on this FC release and OS.

Anyway here my suggestions:
1) update FC to latest 0.18.4 (it has many bug fixes)
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.18.4
2) copy your configuration files to a safe location and delete the configuration file folder to have a 'clean' installation
On Windows: Open the file explorer, and write %APPDATA%/FreeCAD as the file path. Once there, COPY the files user.cfg and system.cfg and all folders to a backup location, then delete all files and location inside your %APPDATA%/FreeCAD folder
3) launch FC and install KiCAD StepUp WB using the Addons Tool
4) close FC e re-launch it to see if you get errors
5) in case of errors please open a Command prompt and digit:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCAD\bin\FreeCAD.exe" --log-file C:\Users\vosec\Documents\FreeCAD-log.txt
and post here the log file C:\Users\vosec\Documents\FreeCAD-log.txt
