Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
A little bit more info to hopefully help clarify: the problematic operation is "DressupTag" which is now at the same top level as the job itself.
Hi,
I've accidentally moved an operation out of the path job where it belongs. And I can't drag/drop it back to the Operations list. It keeps trying to link it there. Unfortunately I don't know how/when it happened- I must have been moving something and didn't notice.
Is there a way to get it back in to the Job or should I delete and recreate it where it belongs? And is there a way you can recommend I can avoid doing this in the future? (or just be more careful and save/backup more often?)
Thanks!

Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
I have seen such broken Jobs after trying to change the sequence of operations by dragging. I couldn't repair the model then. It seems you have only one operation, nevertheless I guess that you accidentally dragged something with the mouse.
Can you upload the file?

Unfortunately I already deleted and started over. If it happens again I'll try to save everything I can about the file and steps leading up to it, and get back in touch. Thanks anyways.
Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
I strongly recommend to increase the number of backup files to a ridiculously high value of 10 or 20. Save often. Delete the backup files when you have finished the model.

Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
I'm having the same issue. When I open the path job to edit it the processor select list is blank, I change it to grbl, then click OK and all the operations fall out of the job (as shown in attached screenshot). The first time this happened I was able to move them back in, but now when it happens it doesn't let me.
Not sure if it's related, but this is logged to the Report view when I open the path job:
As a workaround for what I need to do, I can just change the job properties in the data tab without opening the job.
The FreeCAD file is 7 MB, so I can't attach it here, but if it would be useful I can upload it somewhere else. It is a bit of a mess since I'm fairly new to FreeCAD.

Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
Can you remember which postprocessor you had originally? For some time there were different grbl postprocessors and at some point they were unified.Joe_J wrote: ↑Sat May 01, 2021 4:36 pm When I open the path job to edit it the processor select list is blank, I change it to grbl, then click OK and all the operations fall out of the job (as shown in attached screenshot).

Can you upload the file before the setting the postprocessor?

Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
Quite sure the postprocessor was always set to grbl, and I don't remember there being multiple grbl choices. Of course now it's behaving well without any problems.
It's possible that at one point I tried re-ordering the path operations directly in the tree view; maybe that led to the problem.
Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
Yes, I've found that attempting to reorder ops like that will break things. This is particularly confusing because the mouse cursor changes in the UI indicating that DnD is supported and possible when it is not.
This should either be fixed so it does work or disabled in the UI so that it does not mess up people's work.
It would be rather nice if this did work in the treeview and this would mean there was no need for the clunky Workplan tab in the job Edit dlg.

Re: Path Workbench Repairing an Operation Moved Out of the Job
This was discussed before. it is not easy to fix, because drag and drop cannot be easily disabled.
