K-Factor in the sheet metal workbench when unfolding

Post by andrigtmiller »

OS: "Fedora release 30 (Thirty)"
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.Unknown
Build type: Unknown
Python version: 3.7.3
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 3.1.3
OCC version: 6.9.1.oce-0.18
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

I recently have done a sheet metal project, and its been awhile since I last did one, and I have noticed some new features. When you unfold, you now get a prompt that allows you to specify certain attributes. One of those is the K-Factor. To be honest, I didn't know what that was at first, but I did a little research, and discovered what it was, and that it was actually fairly important. So, I calculated it manually for my project, and it came out to .48. The setting page let's you specify the value, but only to one digit, so I could put in .4 or .5, but not .48. It would be nice if you could specify to 2 decimal places. If I'm missing something here, just let me know, but it doesn't let you type more than one digit, if you try to type in the field, and the up and down arrows increment by .1, so it sure seems like you can't specify a two digit value.

I can specify 3 decimals. Check the decimals in your preferences.

Btw OP, fedora 30 is lagging dependency-wise.
