Bugs in Dimension Distance Tool

Open Trakyan opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

The new dimension between arcs/circles feature of the "Dimension Distance" tool is constraining properly, and showing up in the constraints list, but the dimension does not show up in the 3D view. This is present in both 2023/07/29 and 2023/07/30 link tip builds.

I can only confirm this one with the Linux system detailed at the bottom of this post.

The "Constrain Distance" tool also ignores the first keypress input for the dimension if "ask for value after creating dimensional constraint" is ticked in preferences>sketcher>display.

If the dimension is manually selected/opened by double clicking it to edit/set the dimension, the first keypress registers fine. This bug is not present in the Constrain Vertical Distance, Constrain Horizontal Distance, Constrain Auto Radius/Diameter or any of the other constrain tools I tested.

It's present on the linux appimage, as well as the windows release (at least up to 2023/05/21 I believe). The issue exists in the 2023/07/30 tip release, but I've noticed it as far back as 2023/01/31 but unsure as to when exactly it appeared.

Sorry, not trying to be an ass with the bug reports, really appreciate the work you do RT. The Link branch is what finally brought me over to freecad after years of being frustrated it and dropping it.
