Thank you for your answer.
1. I try find info about this Marks in Wiki before this posts. What I found:
" ShowCenters: Circle/arc center marks on/off" on https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/TechDraw_NewView
but my FreeCAD have not this "ShowCenters"...

2. I create new task in BugTracker:
https://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=4227

P.S. May be you can help me with DMS (Angle format)?
I use this format any time, but change units to US (inch) and see Angle in decimal format now.

Can I add task in tracker about selector "23°30'00""/"23.500"?
"Format Spec" field of my Angle have "%.2f" only.

The Wiki is very outdated and we are aware of this. As first step we renamed and uniformed menu names, tooltips etc. Now we are fixing small issues and errors and also start updating the Wiki.

Please ask this in the main Help Forum:
https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewforum.php?f=3
since there might already be a solution or bugtracker entry.

What version are you using? This is an older feature. Look on the View tab of the property editor, not the Data tab.

I believe "Imperial Civil" is the only units schema that supports DMS.

A given schema can only support 1 form of angle display, so you'd have to ask for a new schema (US Inch with DMS?).

Here is the rather massive PR for the renaming of tools and menus for the Wiki:
PR 2694
About this. Can you make a list of all commands that changed name? Ideally it would be

Code: Select all

old_name -> new_name
Then we can rename the wiki pages with the new name so that the Std_WhatsThis tool works correctly.

Hi,

have you corrected the bug "Balloon annotations move when Lock Position is true" ?
I have a same bug :
create a small project in tech draw and add balloon annotation and move it at a specific position.
then you close the project and reopen the annotation have moved.
if you reclose en re-open the annotation doesn''t move.

Perhaps it is linked with the fact : when you change the annotation position (x,y) in data window, the annotation position is not uppdated.

bye.

Lidiriel

PS : you can test on the small project in attachment.

I couldn't find a view nor a balloon in the uploaded file, so I created them myself, hoping they act as yours. I observe:
- Setting lock position of the view and of the balloon to false -> Balloon keeps the position on reload
- Setting lock position of the view to true and of the balloon to false -> Balloon keeps the position on reload
- Setting lock position of the view and the balloon to true -> Balloon text keeps the position while the error moves:

My solution would be: not to set LockPosition of the balloon.

No. It is moving up the list, but there are still tasks ahead of it.

This is probably related. Balloons have a number of positioning issues at the moment.

Thank you for the patch. It looks good. I'll look deeper after Christmas.

Joyeux Noel!
