V19 formula editor not showing constraints

Post by Cryptonym »

In my project I have a master sketch with my dimensions defined. I reference the constraints values in other sketches. Works great in v18.

In 19, the names come up listed in <<>> brackets, and if I then suffix with .constraints, I don't get any values, or if I start typing it filters to unrelated items. If I type the full correct name, ok enables and it allows the value.

Am I missing some design change in how to properly use expressions???

Master Version 0.19 rev 23323 git on windows 10.

Auto complete is broken, you have to enter the formula manually.

Should be fixed when 0.19 is released.

Does anyone know an update on this? I just tried it in 0.19.2 (current windows download) and the formula editor auto-complete still appears to be broken as @Cryptonym describes.

Unfortunately because of the nature of FLOSS things can't always be predicted.

Unless you can review the new RT code to help with it's merge to main, it's done when its done.

Regarding the auto-completion, there is a dedicated PR, IIRC separated from "the Big Merge" introducing Link. https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=43412
