Cube menu

[chrisb]

With the latest dev. versions 0.20, Menu commands : Isometric, Dimetric, Trimetric not working.

Just little bad, this addon is very cool

It works here. You can try to reset the configuration with the button in the preferences. Another possibility is to delete your config files or to move them in case you want to restore them.
If the problem persists, create a new topic, because it has nothing to do with the Cube, and add your full FreeCAD info.

Minor point on wording: This is not an addon it is buildin into the core system.

Sorry Chris but you're incorrect, the report is genuine regarding the CubeMenu addon. I'll look into it as @triplus hasn't been too active recently so any fixes will be posted here. I'm in the minority in hating the NavCube just as much as I hate the gizmos in Blender but I'll try and help.

I'm afraid this is beyond my capabilities to determine why these specific commands nolonger work and the others still work as before. I've tried numerous small changes on the C++ side to find the culprit, sorry.

Sorry, my fault.

Yes, that's the reason why I rolled back to 0.20-24511. After that, it's broken.

Thank you for having tried anyway

One thing I have determined is the exact commit that has introduced the issue : git commit f525904

[Tanuki44]

Alas, I do not have the skills to understand that.

One thing I do not understands, in the python console, the commandline (for example):

>>> Gui.activeDocument().activeView().viewDimetric() works correctly

But with the menu that sends the same command (Finally that's what is displayed in the console) :

>>> ### Begin command Std_ViewDimetric
>>> Gui.activeDocument().activeView().viewDimetric()
>>> ### End command Std_ViewDimetric

does not work ...

It seems that sending this commandline : Gui.runCommand('Std_ViewDimetric') works but how to change the menu ? ...

[zisoft]

I have made some analysis here. To make a simple test, I added a call to Std_ViewDimetric just when the cube menu pops up:

Code: Select all

def onShow():
    """Populate menu on show."""

    Gui.runCommand('Std_ViewDimetric')

    cpcmd.populateTop()

This works as expected. Immediately when the menu opens, the view is set to isometric. But when the menu closes, the previous view is restored.

That means, no matter what action is called in the cube menu, after any action the previous view is immediately restored.
