[solved] Incorrectly displayed working level when starting the program?

Post by thomas-neemann »

the working level auto displayed after the start (the working level will adapt to the current view each time a command is started) corresponds (if I have recognized this correctly) to the setting top / top. this is very confusing in the learning phase.



suggest that the displayed setting be changed to top / top when the program starts.

Hast du dazu auch ein Bild? Ich sehe nur ein schwarzes Vorschaufenster.

Sorry, I somehow thought this was posted in the German section. Here is my translation:

Do you have a picture showing what you've described? I'm only seeing a black screen for the video preview.

Not here.

Maybe look at:
Edit > Preferences > Draft > General settings > General Draft Settings > Default working plane

Note: 'plane' not 'level'.

With a newly installed system it only happens until the configuration is changed and saved for the first time.

Confirmed. There is a mismatch when there is no value for defaultWP in user.cfg.

DraftGui.py:
defaultWP = Draft.getParam("defaultWP",0)
This value (None) is displayed in the draft Tray.

DraftTools.py:
defaultWP = Draft.getParam("defaultWP",1)
This value (Top) is used to change the actual WP.

Note that this PR only resolves the mismatch. The default for the defaultWP will be 0 (=None=Auto).
