[AppImage Packaging Issue] Dimensioning not working

[Gary R]

Code: Select all

OS: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid (KDE//usr/share/xsessions/plasma)
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.19.21097 (Git) AppImageDim
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: a5ab09aa0941cc945e59848897b160f8cbfc0831

All of a sudden the dimensioning in Techdraw doesn't work. I get a:

Code: Select all

File does not exist
/:/dd/icons/linearDimension.svg

I tried rerunning the appimage installation but did not clear the problem. This looks like a bug in TechDraw and makes the workbench pretty well useless. Does anyone know how to filx this.

Seems ok here with today's freecad-daily:

"dd/icons/linearDimension.svg" is from the old DrawingDimensioning workbench. It isn't used in TechDraw.

"Version: 0.19.21097 (Git) AppImageDim". What is an AppImageDim? Haven't run across that before.

OK here is some update.
First - I upgraded to a newer appimage and still got the same problem. I can only surmise that the problem resides with my debian system. Any suggestions of where to look?

Second - Appimage is not updating the $HOME/. local/share/applications/ file. So the Help -> About Freecad information is not accurate.

Third - The KDE desktop icon isn't updated so looks for the wrong version. This is a minor annoyance but would be helpful if fixed.

Sounds more like AppImage packaging issue so far. Don't know where those go.

Thanks, moved to the 'Install/Compile' > 'Packaging' subforum

Hi @Gary R

Looks like you are using Drawing Dimensioning workbench and its Linear Dimension command and not the TechDraw Dimension Length command. I would recommend for you to remove Drawing Dimensioning module altogether, as it is not a suitable choice anymore, when it comes to FreeCAD 0.19. After make sure you are in the TechDraw workbench and try out the TechDraw Dimension Length command again.
