Error when rotating an object - help please

Post by falviani »

Hello All,

My setup:

OS: Windows 10 (10.0)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.19151 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: 1276920feaec772d297ebd9e50ee1ae2881f62fe
Python version: 3.6.8
Qt version: 5.12.1
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/United States (en_US)

I am trying to set up a model of an organizer stand and duplicate it so I can cut it out on my CNC router. I want the duplicate to be rotated 180 around the Z axis and re-positioned so it's close to the original, in order to use the minimum amount of material. Unfortunately, when I rotate the object I get the following error:

<Exception> Invalid type 'long'
in property binding 'AttachmentOffset'
148.352 <App> Document.cpp(3440): Failed to recompute NestedLayoutTest#Sketch001: Invalid type 'long'
in property binding 'AttachmentOffset'
Recompute failed! Please check report view.

This happens both when I copy/paste and when I use the dupicate menu item. I can translate the duplicate to a different position but rotation fails. The file is attached. Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if this is an error?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

I don't know what you copied, but something went out of whack. You could have copied the whole body, but not just the pad inside.

A far better solution would have been to create a Draft->Clone, because it is still dependent on the source object; i.e. if you change dimensions in the source they will change in the clone too.
