Opening Techndraw page causes Error no respond

[wolD]

Hi Guys!

I have a project with A2plus. The Assemply has a few Parts and a few parts that where originally STEP Data from a manufacturer.

These STEP parts i opened first in FreeCad alone and saved as a .FCstd-File, so that i can imported it to the assembly regually.

Than i made a drawing of the assemply by creating a page in Techdraw make a BOM and all is fine. That was a few days ago.
Today i reopened the The File with the page active and every time FreeCad freezes in "no respond" and i have to cut off with task manager.

Via a tryout with a second assembly that contains the same parts also the imported STEP-File converted in FCstd-Files, i find out that there have to be any issue with the importet STEP/FCstd parts.
From this assembly i wanted to make a drawing too, but every time i create a view, FreeCad freezes. So i tryed a bit and change the selection of parts that have to be in my view. All works fine, till i select the STEP/FCstd Part. Than it freezes again.
Only after i deleted the faulty parts and added them new in A2plus, i was able to create a view in Techdraw with all selectet parts.

Now my problem is that in the original assembly there is a active (faulty) page and i had saved is this status. So when i open my CAD-Data, FreeCad tryes to open the embedded page too and its freezes.

Is there anything i can do?

I will attach the CAD-Data and screenshot



Here you the the massages from Python.

Please retry with the latest 0.20 version. I'm not sure if this is rather an Assembly issue? Should I move the topic?

Could it be that it just takes time to calculate? This can happen with more complex TechDraw sheets. Unfortunately the "FreeCAD doesn't respond window" likes to pop up in such situations (at least with Ubuntu Linux). Can you let it run over night?

Good morning Guys!

after my testing here my opinion is, that there is something wrong with the Step converted File to the FCstd-File. Or there have to be a interaction between the converted file and TD workbench.

Had enyone of you tryed to oben the assembly?

I can do an update to 0.20. But my feeling is not to good for that. Is there an final release version of it? Bc I think 0.19 is the official release version atm?

M4x yes I can run it over night. But I don't think that there will be an advantage for that.
I wrote that I have a second assembly which is littery the same. There I had reimported the faulty parts and then iam able to create views on a page. The calculation time there is about 15 sec.
So I think when I will run the system over night I don't get any proper results.

Another idea of me was to delete the embedded page. Is there a way without open the whole CAD-File to delete some object in it?
I read about a Funktion in the tool Bar - > Edit Menu. But don't try it yet.
My idea is, to delete the page than, open my assembly and fix it. Than doing the drawing again.

Thanks in advance guy!

Have a nice weekend!

The FreeCAD file is a zipped archive. You can edit the Document.xml inside, but that's not an easy task. Since it is an assembly I would rather recommend to keep the component files and redo the assembly.

Try the attached file, I corrected the invalid geometry (see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 10#p513734) and tried to match the colours as best as I could, no promises though.

Hi Guys,

What do you think, is the Funktion in the edit menu a chance to delete page object from FreeCAD File?

Because when it will be an error with a geomitry like Syres will habe detected than it wouldn't make sense to install 0.20 or run over night.

Or is there an other solution?

@Syres
Very, very thanks for your effort!
I would try, but iam even not able to open the file, because of the active page Objekt. Freecad try to load the Page but freezes than.

Greetings to all
