I will it sync tomorrow and make a screencast of that i touch all links objects. I found a software to edit the *.webm. Else it would be too long to attach.
I would send you the files, but it is too large to attach. I also have no cloud or something else (i hate that stuff). But i could send it per mail. If you sent me a e-mail adress per pm (if you trust me), i would send it.

By the way.
When it recompute the assembly, the keybord does not work, the mouse some parts of it. When try to type something or make mouse actions in other windows and when it is finnshed with recomputing, FreeCAD crashes. This is maybe Qt related.

just a suggestion to achieve small video files: you could consider Gifcam. I use it quite frequently, the files it creates are tiny in size.

I found a new an other new behavior. But this was also in the master branch yesterday.
Normally i was in the assembly, i right clicked the part, which i wanted to link (in an other file), make a simple link, and then the inks was in the assembly. Now (i do not know the reason why) the part, which i want to assemble gets the focus and the link is in the file of the part. But this issue is absolute minor.

About the retouches, here is a screencast. It also catches the faulty array behavior. Then i do two times undo (then it is as in original state) and then one undone undo, then is is ok.

Here is a screencast about the refreshing error on a real model. Here i am pressing the springs in the right tension from the the model i edited (the original model has pressing zero). But the links do not refreshing the model except the prehighlighting in the tree. When i close FreeCAD and reopen the model, than all is right.

Please sync my LinkMerge branch and try again. I've fixed recompute crash problem. The recompute touch problem you've experienced is caused by two bugs in Datum and TechDraw objects which I've fixed also. Anything showing red in the report view indicates something is wrong and should not be overlooked.

There is one suggestion. The current TechDraw workbench seems to have many problems, causing slow down in document loading and recomputing. I'll propose some fix later when I have time. But even with the fix, I would suggest you to move the drawing out of the assembly. It will greatly speed up things, especially so If your workflow has any distinctive phases, say working on assembly exclusively for some time, then working on drawings some more, and so on.

When you put the drawing inside a part container, everytime the part is updated (e.g. moved), it has too recompute all its children first, including the drawings. TechDraw update takes time, lots of time if comparing to mere placement updates in links and parts. It would be better if you put drawing in its own document, and use link to bring in any necessary parts. This way, when you modify your main assembly, and hit that recompute button, the drawing document won't get updated, because the assembly does not depend on the drawings. It is the other way round, and it should be.
Try Assembly3 with my custom build of FreeCAD at here.

Done. I worked with that approximate 1.5 hour and made some tests. I did extreme mouseclicking and typing in other windows while recomputing --> no chrash. So i think that is solved. But while recomputing, the keyboard and mouse also do not work properly. But this is not only in link containing file, this is in general. But i do not know if this was before. Also when you open an assembly (link containing file), it recomputes all. But i think this is TechDraw related. But it touches not the file.

Also when you make a link from a part in an assembly, this is now fast as hell. Also when you place a link part with placement, it does not recompute the original file. That is fine. I think this issue you have also solved.

I think that is worth to make a pull request on the master, because this speeds up many things.

I saw that. When i load a part file with a drawing inside (but do not click on the drawing), it does not recompute 3D part, but the drawing. But the file is not touched. Once i click on the drawing, the file is touched. This make no sense, but i think that was never link related. I can make a screencast about that, if you want (but i think you know the behavior).

I thought the same.

This have defintly pros and cons. To make more overview i think it should be possible to make something like an assembly file or a drawing file with different file extensions.

By the way, one suggestion. For examle my assembly (spindle) is now ready and i want to assembly this in a parent assembly. Now FreeCAD has part containers, i think with link, we need assembly containers with these links. I do not know how the core developers think about that.

All in one this all working fine.

Yes, i think you are referring about the radius in the drawing. Because of the selection bug, i was not able to delete it. But you solved this and now i was able to delete it. Now this is ok. Other red warnings or tracebacks i only report when the are reproducible. For example i got now this three in a row,

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 2, in <module>
<class 'AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setActiveObject'

or this,

Code: Select all

['Fillet053', 'Chamfer078']

[]
but have no idea how i get them. Also there are more small bug for example in the expressions. But there are minor, because expressions are working. And all bugfixing, what you do perfectly, should be done step by step.


Also the testfile above still have the update issue. When you open it and you change something in the sketch, the updates does no work correct. But i think that is only a graphical issue.

Well, before the merge, recompute will freeze the application until all is finished. What I have changed now is to show a progress bar while recomputing, and the user can abort it, by pressing the 'ESC' key. Other key or mouse press are ignored. The abortion is not very responsive, due to the nature of recomputing. It only checks for abortion after finish recomputing one object, so is GUI update. In other words, the application can still freeze if some object takes a long time to recompute.

Oh, I just remember that you mentioned trouble creating external link because of the view switching. One way is to select the source object in its document first, switch to the target document by clicking the tab under the 3D view, then click make link button. I have exposed the link button to the global toolbar for convenience, as shown in the picture below. BTW, the auto view switching function can be disabled entirely. Just unselect the 'Sync view' option, also shown below.

By the way, one suggestion. For examle my assembly (spindle) is now ready and i want to assembly this in a parent assembly. Now FreeCAD has part containers, i think with link, we need assembly containers with these links. I do not know how the core developers think about that.
I will be changing the behavior of the part container soon, including this auto link behavior.

<class 'AttributeError'>: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'setActiveObject'
Unhandled Base::Exception caught in GUIApplication::notify.
Did this happen when you edit some datum? If so it should have been fixed. Please sync my branch.

Also the testfile above still have the update issue. When you open it and you change something in the sketch, the updates does no work correct. But i think that is only a graphical issue.
_update_issue.webm
It's fixed, please sync my branch.
Try Assembly3 with my custom build of FreeCAD at here.
