FC019: problem exporting to Wavefront .obj format
Hi, trying in Part Design to export any Body in Wavefront (.obj) format, I noticed that FC019 ignores the value set in tab View --> Deviation.
The export is always done using Deviation=0.500% whatever the value set in the tab View --> Deviation.
My configuration is:
OS: Linux Mint 19.3 (MATE/mate)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.22756 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: ce87f586ee36ffe8ebcdcd3947ced4ab389ae795
Python version: 3.8.6
Qt version: 5.12.5
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.4.0
Locale: Italian/Italy (it_IT)
Instead with FC0.18:
OS: Linux Mint 19.3
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.16146 (Git) AppImage
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.18.4)
Hash: 980bf9060e28555fecd9e3462f68ca74007b70f8
Python version: 3.6.7
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: Italian/Italy (it_IT)
everything works.
Has the way to set the deviation for export to .obj changed in FC0.19 compared to what was done in FC0.18?
Thanks .

Re: FC019: problem exporting to Wavefront .obj format
There is an independent setting used for mesh export. You will find it in the preferences under Import/Export -> Mesh formats. In order to show this tab you must have loaded the Mesh workbench beforehand.

Re: FC019: problem exporting to Wavefront .obj format
Wmayer, thanks for the indication, I didn't know there had been this change from FC0.18 to FC0.19 .
But there is a problem in this window:
As soon as I press the OK button (or Apply), I get this message in red:

Re: FC019: problem exporting to Wavefront .obj format
I forgot to say that:
1) as a result of the error message, the subsequent mesh export operation is not affected by the new value set for "Maximum mesh deviation";
2) the error message appears whatever .FCStd file is open;
3) the error message appears even if no file is opened.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
3.1) switch to Mesh Design WB;
3.2) go to Preferences--> Import-Export --> MeshFormats tab;
3.3) press the OK button (or Apply).

Re: FC019: problem exporting to Wavefront .obj format
There is a bug in the appimage version it looks like, related to the checkbox to automatically check for updates. A workaround is to make the changes via the parameter editor:
Tools menu -> Edit paramaeters. Then navigate to the section in the image below.
