TechDraw losing View?

Post by drive_at_11 »

I'm hoping someone can enlighten me on why I'm loosing my views in Techdraw. Here's a perfect example where on the model panels I can recompute the Techdraw view and everything checks out but the page has a little square window view with nothing in it.

The Source property of the view is empty. Can you reproduce how it happens?

He didn't generate any anomaly, everything worked perfectly.
It would be advisable that "DRIVE_AT_11" indicates (as per regulation) with which version of FC has encountered the problem (when a problem is highlighted and always indicate the version of FC and the system on which it turns: Menu Help -> Information on FreeCAD And copy / paste the result)
Here is the image of uploading the file

Hi opening OP's file does show the square. It appears OP tried to Insert a view without selecting one. Various tries and came up with a popup error and in other instances the error shown below. Did not capture the pop up box but this one shows and closes. OP may have missed.
