TechDraw: file opening time

[wandererfan]

What does it mean?

This is a standard message box that FC produces when ever you ask to delete an object that is linked from another object. Despite the "might break" warning, I haven't had any issues with deleting objects since v0.16(?).

Text for linear dimensions is supposed to be above or left of the dimension line. If you have a file where this is not happening it is probably a bug. Please post the file. Thanks.

The main file is "printer.fcstd".
You should have A2Plus.
Drawings/dwgBottom2.

There is a preference setting "Keep Pages Up to Date". If you uncheck this, pages will not do any processing and your load time should go down.
Once you are ready to produce drawings, recheck the option and recompute the pages.

I tried it... But I was some scared because I had got empty drawings...

Would it be possible to add a functions(read buttons) that do something like “make drawing(s) active” and “manual recompute”so as user there is no need to switch the recompute option all the time.
I can even imagine that the buttons were only visible when the config option is False…

wandererfan, it seems, the position of the text depends on an order of point selection...

I found out as I can change the Font name and Font size.
They are at the "View" tab.

Definitely a bug. If the points for a Distance-X have different Y coordinates, then the selection order affects the text location. This shouldn't happen.

Thanks for finding this.

Right mouse button offers "Toggle Keep Updated" but it only applies to the current Page.

Could have a button that puts TD to sleep or wakes it up for all pages. Something for the v019 list.

My pleasure! Thank You and your colleagues!

It is from Wiki:

Do not cut, copy and paste TechDraw objects in the tree view as this generally does not work out well.

Can You tell me, I may cut/copy/paste objects (views, labels) between pages?

Several Dimension's texts are above the dimension's lines and several texts under dimension's lines. Why?

Should be fixed by git commit 9207e2ef7d1d.
