Cannot get into edit mode when double clicking on line endpoint in the Draft Workbench (osx)

Post by maxagaz »

I was watching the video tutorial below:
https://youtu.be/bGfD0KsnlP8?t=9m22s
And saw that this guy is entering an edit mode for nodes.

Unfortunately, I couldn't reproduce it in the Draft Workbench on my system. When I double click on a node mark (tiny black square), I can only see the selection view switching between Unnamed.Line.EditNode0 (Line) and Unnamed.Line (Line), as you can see on the screenshots in attachment.

Did I miss something or is it a bug in FreeCAD ? I couldn't enter the Edit mode both with 0.17 and 0.18 on macOS.

This video is more than 20 minutes long. Where should we look?

When you click on the provided link, it should bring you right to the 9m22s when the node is being edited.

On my system, for some reason, I cannot move the nodes of the line shown in the screenshot in attachment.

The double click is performed on the element in the tree to the left. It's only for entering edit mode. Once you are in edit mode it is only a single click on a node and then you can move it.

It might be a bug in the macOS version of FreeCAD then, because can't move any of the nodes in Edit mode as in the screenshot attached below.

Can you create an animated gif? I cannot see anything different in this image from the screenshots before.
You can see in the video when the mouse buttons are pressed. What happens if you do nothing else but single click on an endpoint - without holding the mouse? Which mouse model do you use? Do you use the track pad?

It all works flawless here with gesture mouse model and trackpad.

I doubt that it will help in this case, but 13509 has some nasty bugs. You should upgrade to 0.17.13519 - or current 0.18 development version.

Thanks (just updated it after reading your post). I looked last week and only the Windows version was updated at that time.

I just tested a single line in Draft and could not grab end node or tweak the line...

I'm using the trackpad embedded in the laptop. I tried changing the 3D navigation but I still can't grab the nodes in Draft workbench Edit mode.
