(SOLVED) I can't change the grid spacing in the weekly version

Post by thomas-neemann »

If I start the weekly version with deleted configuration files, I cannot change the grid spacing.
if I start and end once 0.19.3 it works. apparently 19.3 creates a file that is required by the weekly version and is missing.

workaround

if you e.g. 0.20.26720 starts you can change the settings effectively, the weekly version adopts the values, but cannot change them effectively yourself.

IMO the commit should be reverted. I have added a comment to that effect:

Good news that it didn't solve by itself.
A first PR is here : https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/6899
Seems to be some more issues to solve in Draft itself where you can change grid size outside the preferences. Will look a bit later (hopefully).
