FreeCAD hangs / freezes making edits

Post by paulvella »

Hi all,

With the attached model FreeCAD hangs when making a change. Doesn't seem to matter what the change is - could be performing a transform, setting feed rate, spindle speed, etc.

The hang lasts for 5-10mins and FreeCAD does start working again, but will hang at the next change.

The problem appears to go away if I delete the Job, so I suspect it has something to do with that.

Any ideas what might be the problem?

Paul

The model in general is a mess.

You have used Part workbench tools on features of Part Design Body solids.

Always use the Body in Part workbench operations.

That may, or may not, be part of the problem. But, every change causes a recompute. Select the document in the tree and select "Skip recomputes". Then you can control when it recomputes. It will still a lot of time since you have splines and tool paths.

Hi Shalmeneser, the error on the ShapeString you are seeing might be that the font file is missing for you (I don't see any errors)

I have added the font file as a zip to the original post (the forum wouldn't allow me to attach a .ttf file directly).
