| Summary | 0001149: Imposible to use wacom tablet | ||||
| Description | I have a wacom intuos4 wl. FreeCad, in sketch editing mode, seems to be handling clicks ("left mouse button") in a special way, because it's impossible i.e. to select element using single click. When I click on an element in the drawing area cursor changes from arrow to hand, but instead of selecting an element the element if being moved. | ||||
| Additional Information | It might be related to "click & release" distance. Freecad seems to be expecting that click & release are in exactly the same point, which is impossible with tablet. Please let me know if you need more information about my system. | ||||

You want to do CAD on a tablet by touch? Not a very common use case ;) |
|
|
Not really - the tablet doesn't handle touch. I'll provide more info soon. I'm using the tablet instead of mouse (including autocad/microstation/dialux on windows and blender/gimp/inkscape on linux). I actually don't use the mouse at all, so I hope we can fix the problem. |

It's odd that the revision number does not appear correctly. Did you compile yourself, or installed a pre-compiled package? |
|
|
Yes, that's strange. It's from Fedora Fusion repository: bash-4.2$ LC_ALL=c rpm -qi freecad Name : freecad Version : 0.13 Release : 1.1.fc18 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Wed May 22 20:43:44 2013 Group : Applications/Engineering Size : 128420621 License : GPLv3+ with exception Signature : RSA/SHA256, Thu Mar 7 12:56:54 2013, Key ID 90ce094be31b30ca Source RPM : freecad-0.13-1.1.fc18.src.rpm Build Date : Mon Mar 4 17:15:13 2013 Build Host : builder1.ovh.rpmfusion.lan Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : <http://nonfree.rpmfusion.org/> Vendor : RPM Fusion URL : http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/free-cad/ Summary : A general purpose 3D CAD modeler |

I've seen the same thing with the Mac OS X build, so it's a build configuration problem somehow. If I'm not mistaken this Fedora package is not quite up to date... It's impossible to know without the revision number or the git commit. |

I confirm the same behaviour with my Wacom Intuos3 9x12 tablet using a STYLUS pen. I can't select any element by the pen tip (left mouse click). Freecad compiled by myself from GIT repository a few days ago and here is a listing from Help -> About Freecad. OS: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (squeeze) Platform: 64-bit Version: 0.13.2041 (Git) Branch: master Hash: fe19cb09cc7a07629ae224a64f58167780284987 Python version: 2.5.5 Qt version: 4.6.3 Coin version: 3.1.3 SoQt version: 1.4.2a OCC version: 6.3.0 The same issue (I can't click by pen tip) I have with Krusader version 2.2.0-beta1 if I try to sort column listings. But any other software I use does not have problem with Wacom pen. So I think that there is problem with Freecad and Krusader as well in handling the left mouse clicks (too accurate mouse coordinates handling = ???). Because if you use tablet pen the cursor position changes before you just click on tablet because of hand is too curved and tablet has some proximity feature :-) For example. If I use touchpad or trackpoint of my notebook (first move mouse cursor over an element and then click without any other cursor moving) selection works well. If I use Wacom pen to move cursor over the element then freeze my hand on that position and select the element by using touchpad or trackpoint left button the selection also works well. Finally if for moving and selection I use only the Wacom pen the moving works but selection doesn't. But it is strange that I can use drag&drop feature with Wacom pen. Only single click used for element selection does not work. Recently I tried the Wacom tablet to be sure it works well at other CAD software. I used friends PC with Windows 7 + Autocad + SolidEdge and there wasn't any problem with it. So this looks like a bug in Freecad. |

Not in FreeCAD per se but in one of its third-party libraries. You said you have the same problem with Krusader which is a KDE-based package. Then it may be something with Qt libraries. I suggest you try to use it in another app that relies on Qt for its GUI. If that's the case then it's out of FreeCAD devs power to fix. |
|
|
Thanks for quick response. Before the moment I tried to select some elements (lines and circles exactly) at LibreCAD. I think it is also QT based application. Here I provide LibreCAD details from its About section: LibreCAD Version: 1.0.1 SCM Revision: 1.0.0 Compiled on: Mar 15 2012 Portions (c) 2011 by R. van Twisk Program Icons Supplied by Pablo: LibreCAD Argentine Splash and Logo supplied by Diego Daltom Designer Modules: None Main Website : http://www.LibreCAD.org In Kursader I have that problem at one concrete situation (sort of file listing) otherwise the Wacom pen (its left mouse button click) and Krusader works together quite well. Do you have any other suggestions or software I would have to test? |
|
|
Just update of information related to reported bug which can help. The problem in FreeCAD appears only if I try to select something (line, arc, point, distance etc.) in opened Sketch. If I try to select some edge at Part or Part Designer it is possible with Wacom tablet. |
|
|
Ok, its right, the selection of the sketcher is to fiddly. It goes to move-element if you move the mouse only one pixel while pressing left. Thats to eager, even if you use a standard mouse. I think we need at least a two pixel threshold before moving starts.... |
|
|
Hi all does this issue still exist in current FreeCAD? I don't have a Wacom pad to test it. Jim |
|
|
IMO, this ticket should stay open. |
|
|
Please leave it open. My current system is fedora 21. Version: 0.14 Revision number: $WCREV$ Release date: $WCDATE$ Word size: 64-bit (Fedora still have the rev/rel problem) $ rpm -qi freecad Name : freecad Version : 0.14 Release : 5.fc21 Architecture: x86_64 If you can point me (roughly, any variable or function name would be great) to where the problem might be in the code I'll try to fix it. |
|
|
Have a look at: ViewProviderSketch::mouseMove ViewProviderSketch::mouseButtonPressed To check if the cursor hovers a geometry: ViewProvider::getPointOnRay |
|
|
Selecting in the latest git version (f2d8fc91ec37081f3f0c283f43671573c4f58e70) works fine, but unselecting does not work as expected. Left click on an empty area using mouse causes deselection, but the same action with tablet does nothing. I'll try to narrow it down, but if you have any tips, please le me know. |
|
|
Does your tabled allow you to hover with cursor? |
|
|
Yes. Hovering is like moving mouse, touching the surface with the tip of the pen is like the left click and there is a rocker button oon the pen that works as right/middle click. I can't find the place in the code where unselecting after "empty" left click takes place. |
|
|
I did some more tests and the problem is now narrowed down to the sketch editing mode. In non-editing mode selecting/unselecting works fine for 3D objects and sketches. |
|
|
I would suspect that there is a mouse movement in between button1 press and button1 release. In this case you would enter rubber band selection mode. https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD_sf_master/blob/master/src/Mod/Sketcher/Gui/ViewProviderSketch.cpp#L1108 maybe we need to add a threshold for the distance to active the rubberband mode, instead of enabling it on the first move event. |
|
|
could you please test if git://github.com/5263/FreeCAD sketcher-rubberband ( https://github.com/5263/FreeCAD/compare/sketcher-rubberband ) solves the problem for you. Perhaps you might want to slightly increase the dragIgnoredDistance as well, if it does not work with the initial value. |
|
|
Yes, that's it! There is no need to change te distance (at least for me with wacom intuos4 wireless), adding "case STATUS_SKETCH_StartRubberBand:" solves the problem. Thanks! |
