New to this forum. Comming from Fusion360 after the stunt from Autodesk.

I don't know how to get this information to the correct person to change this in the next release, but this is what i found.

Learning the Path/Helix function.
When creating the Helix, a step over percentige for the tool is asked for.
If we look at the data after creation, the step over percentige is given in mm. (100 % gives 100 mm)
I don't think thats correct.

Is it one of the tickets listed here: https://tracker.freecadweb.org/search.p ... ring=units ?
By the way please always try to keep up to date with version 0.19. You're using an obsolete version

No.

This appears to be a real bug, but it probably has gone unnoticed since the task panel is correct. Only the property panel has the error. Users typically would work only with the task panel.
