[ Issue #7125 ] [ Bug ] Changing Draft snapRange on-the-fly breaks FreeCAD.Units.Quantity?

Post by Roy_043 »

Changing the Draft snapRange on-the-fly seems to break FreeCAD.Units.Quantity.

Test scenario:
  1. Start FreeCAD.
  2. Switch to the Draft WB.
  3. Change the gridSpacing to 1 mm (Edit → Preferences... → Draft → Grid and snapping → Grid → Grid spacing)
  4. Open a new document.
  5. Paste: FreeCAD.Units.Quantity("1,00 mm") in the Python console.
  6. Result: 1.0 mm. OK.
  7. Make sure the grid is visible (Draft_ToggleGrid)
  8. Start the Draft_Line command.
  9. Pick the first point in the 3D view.
  10. Click the "[" key to increase the snapRange (see Draft_Snap#Preferences).
  11. Move the cursor a little bit.
  12. Result: the grid disappears.
  13. Pick a second point to finish the command.
  14. Paste: FreeCAD.Units.Quantity("1,00 mm") in the Python console.
  15. Result: 2.2250738585072014e-308. Bug?
