Summary0001576: Slow performance using trim tool ([s]due to Solver[/s])
Descriptionhttp://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4276&start=10#p53823

Also after doing the trim on the left arc the trim on the right arc always gives unexpected results.

Using 0.14.3647 the trim doesn't take 18 min for me but it still takes around 30 sec which is still too much for this simple sketch.

@Abdullah is the FC or OCC related?

I downloaded the file and tried it with:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10993 (Git)
Build type: None
Branch: master
Hash: bf5f3484f6f5506795b6e9b86288c75ab7357291
Python version: 2.7.12
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0

There is no time problem at all (it executes under 1 second). What happens, as in other tickets, is that the trimming support in the Sketcher has a way lots of room for improvement. I would dare to say, it needs a good redesign. In presence of Point on Object and tangency constraints it generally fails.

To be clear, generally the result is not the expected one, lines from the wrong side of the semicircle get removed and contraints get added.

Trimming calculations are done in the sketcher, OCC only handles the values provided by the sketcher. This is the relevant function:

int SketchObject::trim(int GeoId, const Base::Vector3d& point)

I am not sure when the solver improvements got merged, but I would say anything like 18 minutes wait time must be related to the solver not being able to reach a solution for the involved constraints. We had similar tickets in the past (for the solver). The agreement with solver improvements was to default to 100-200 iterations no escaling due to size in number of geometric elements in the sketch (though this configuration may be overriden via the by default hidden "Advanced solver dialog"). If a solution can not be reached by then, then it exits. Therefore, it is very unlikely not to say impossible to have the solver running for 18 minutes nowadays (the dossier should be huge so that each iteration requires some 10-20 seconds).

Unless somebody can reproduce the slow behaviour with 0.17, I would just merge this ticket with the other "trim support provides unexpected results". Hopefully, somebody will dedicate some coding time to this issue before 0.17 is released ;)

Tagged as part of the Solver tickets.
Thanks Abdullah!

The remaining of this ticket is sketcher, as solver improvements solved the time problem.

I think this can be closed as it's not reproducible any more that it takes a lot of time.
