Text in Balloon is too small

[bitacovir]

Some observations about TechDraw Ballon

1) When I create a balloon in TDWB the text is too small. The Fontsize of the text in a balloon is 0.2mm
2) The start Start Symbol is missing.

Hi,

Seems like it comes from language translation and how I preset the comboBox.
In my case, it searches for "Arrow" but combo text is "Flèche" (French).

What text do you have in your comboBox ?

Code: Select all

    i = ui->comboEndType->findText(QString::fromUtf8(parent->dvBalloon->EndType.getValueAsString()));
    ui->comboEndType->setCurrentIndex(i);

    i = ui->comboSymbol->findText(QString::fromUtf8(parent->dvBalloon->Symbol.getValueAsString()));
ui->comboSymbol->setCurrentIndex(i);

Need to find another way to set comboBox here.

I'm wondering if something has changed here because I didn't do any translation work myself.
I even don't know how to do that

Thanks anyway for reporting.

Franck.

What are your settings for these settings - ArrowSize, ArrowStyle and FontSize? Do your Dimensions look right (shared parms with balloon)?

In my case, it searches for "Arrow" but combo text is "Flèche" (French).

I can't get "Fleche" in the combo box with FC language = Francais and locale = fr_Fr or fr_Ca. It always shows "Arrow".

Anyway, OP is in Australia, so probably not using French.

Use the index for setting and getting the combo box text:

Code: Select all

//    i = ui->comboEndType->findText(QString::fromUtf8(parent->dvBalloon->EndType.getValueAsString()));
    i = parent->dvBalloon->EndType.getValue();
    ui->comboEndType->setCurrentIndex(i);

//    i = ui->comboSymbol->findText(QString::fromUtf8(parent->dvBalloon->Symbol.getValueAsString()));
    i = parent->dvBalloon->Symbol.getValue();
    ui->comboSymbol->setCurrentIndex(i);
// and 
        m_parent->dvBalloon->EndType.setValue(ui->comboEndType->currentIndex());
        m_parent->dvBalloon->Symbol.setValue(ui->comboSymbol->currentIndex());

I'm wondering if something has changed here because I didn't do any translation work myself.

The translation process pulls the literals from the ui file. Then the generated routine "void retranslateUi(QWidget *TechDrawGui__TaskBalloon)" does the translation at run time.

Hi. Thanks for your attention. I fixed the problem deleting the configuration files in AppData>Roaming>FreeCAD
With a clean installation, the text and symbols are visible again.
Anyway, Balloon is working properly now.
