Making Grid Useful

[wmayer]

Actually the ViewProvider2DObject does nothing else that adding a grid (and its management) on top of ViewProviderPart.
So couldn't be a solution that Draft objects inherit ViewProviderPart instead of ViewProvider2DObject ?

Yes, but Part2DObject is heavily used in Draft and the associated view provider is ViewProvider2DObject. So the easiest is to basically rename the current ViewProvider2DObject to ViewProvider2DObjectGrid and add an empty ViewProvider2DObject instead.

Indeed. Would that be possible instead to rename ViewProvider2DObject to ViewProvider2DGrid and add an empty ViewProvider2DObject.
I.e I guess your proposal is :

Code: Select all

Part <- 2DObject <- 2DObjectGrid <- Sketch

While I'm thinking about :

Code: Select all

Part <- 2DObject <-\
                    |- Sketch
            Grid <-/

git commit da5bd6594

Technically more elegant would be to implement the grid handling as an extension but this is much more work and changes the XML layout of GuiDocument.xml so that achieving backward compatibility is more difficult.

Great, thank you. I'll test it.

Make sure to also fetch git commit 6cf5119b5. I forgot a few changes before pushing the previous commit.

Quickly tested right now, works great. Nice to see the View properties more tidy.

Just read the first answer of the topic you pointed...

I have downloaded "FreeCAD_0.19.22209_x64_LP_12.1.6_PY3QT5-WinVS2015.7z"
and extracted it. I clicked on "FreeCAD.exe"
and received the error message "12:04:11 <string>(1)<class 'ModuleNotFoundError'>: No module named 'Show.TempoVis"

First the good news. Thickness seemed to operate better. I think it has responded to the thickness setting of 5 where version 18 ignored it and would only give a wall thickness of 1 mm.

Now the not so good news. In Sketch004 I cannot select the red dots at the corners of my construction rectangle so that I can position the rectangle.

How do I fix this?

In Sketch004 I cannot select the red dots at the corners of my construction rectangle so that I can position the rectangle.

Is this only with Sketch004? What is your Preferences->Display->Colors->PickRadius set to? Try increasing it. You can try to coompletely 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.

[Vagulus]

Changing the pick radius from 5 to 10 pixels seems to have done the trick.
Thanks

IIRC, resetting your configuration as chrisb said should clean this error.
