Toponaming: issue for dimensions in TechDraw

[balrobs]

Hi realthunder,
I tried your latest LinkDaily branch to see how it behaves, as I also encountered topo-naming problems previously. Now the problems are gone, thank you very much.
A remaining problem I can report belongs to Dimensions in TD workbench. I always thought that Dimensions in TD were sensitive to the topo-naming problem and so now I expected them to work when the underlying geometries change. Unfortunately this isn't true:

Sorry if the issue isn't related to the topo-naming problem and thank you again for your great work

Investigating a little further I discovered that a recompute of the dimension object did the trick
I missed it because only view-objects were automatically updated but not dimension-objects. Nevertheless they don't get marked as needing a recompute.
However, testing further I found another possible issue. Here are the steps to reproduce it:

• Enter two sketcher segments, one horizontal, the other inclined
• Select them and press the wall command
• Select the wall and change its align-property to "right"
• Create a TD page and insert a front view of the wall
• Create two dimensions. One for the left wall segment, one for the right
• The expected result looks like this

• Now return to the align-property of the wall and set it to "center"
• After a recompute of the dimension-object I see this result:

• Obviously the horizontal dimensions were interchanged

Thanks again to everybody contributing to this great software!

I just realized that my reported issue has nothing to do with the topological naming problem.
The problem is that the horizontal position of both dimensions is displayed reversed by TD ... so probably it's a TD issue
Sorry for the noice

balrobs, I split your post out of the toponaming thread in to it's own thread in the TD subforum.

Thanks @Kunda1 for taking action.
Unfortunately I have to revise my last statement and maybe this issue would fit better to a TNP thread than to a TD thread.
I tackled down the problem to a very simple model with only one wall and one dimension and now I'm pretty sure that I got fooled by the toponaming problem.
In fact adding a second wall segment by adding another line segment to the underlying sketch causes the dimension to flip from the first to the second wall segment.
Sorry for the confusion Should I consider to change the title of the first post to better describe the bug?
Here are tow pictures to show what I mean:
Wall with one segment:

lol, yea, change the title and than x-post it back to the toponaming thread

The current design of TechDraw does not quite fit with my topo naming framework. When it projects OCC 3D shape into 2D representation, the topo naming information is striped away. I expect it would take quite some effect to get topo naming working on OCC projection operation. I'll investigate more later.
