How to make 0.125 be smaller than 0.1875

[LXC]

Open FreeCAD
Part workbench
Solids toolbar: click Tube button

Set dimensions, in radius, even though diameter makes more sense

Click 'Okay' button

Get error message saying that .125 is larger than .1875



Please advise.

Check outer radius expression (blue icon).

I just did this and got the same result you did. then I started looking at what was happening. the default is 5 for outer and 2 for inter try putting in the inter dim first then the outer. I no long got an error that way. even when I did it the other way an got the eroor it did the tube OK it was little so I had to zoom to see it.

Please upgrade to 0.19.3 using https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/releases/tag/0.19.3 , navigate to the bottom of the page for the section Assets (expand the list if not done by your browser) and click on the FreeCAD-0.19.3-WIN-x64-installer-2.exe (note the number 2 after installer, it's important to use the correct one as number 1 has a missing library)

@Yorik, sorry to trouble you but is there something you or Kurt have to do in order for this Homepage commit https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-Home ... 73e0229325 to get propagated to the webserver(s), it's quite important.



I cannot replicate the bug using 0.19.3:

Oh thanks for notifying, I had missed that... It's done!

Did you set an expression for the outer radius? I think this is a bug that was recently reported (https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=64050 https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull ... 1008426985) that an expression without unit is shown with in as a unit in the spinbox. In reality expressions without units are interpreted as FreeCAD's internally used units, in this case mm. Explicitly set your expression as 0.1875 in or don't use an expression at all in that field to get the correct result.

inviting to discuss

File ?

File ?

feature can't be created due to the error so it's not possible to have a file with the issue. I forgot to mention but I was able to reproduce the bug here:

Code: Select all

OS: Windows 10 (10.0)
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.20.26761 (Git)
Build type: Release
Python version: 3.8.12
Qt version: 5.12.9
Coin version: 4.0.0
OCC version: 7.5.3
Locale: Spanish/Paraguay (es_PY)

To reproduce:
-change units to inches
-click Create Tube
-set a expression for outer radius to 0.1875 (no unit), this is incorrectly displayed as 0.1875 in but it's actually 0.1875 mm so the error "Inner radius must be smaller than outer radius" is shown
the underlying bug is not in Part Tube, in the thread I linked this was observed in sketcher.
