Summary | 0001608: Part and cross hairs disappear in Sketch Workbench | ||||
Description | This is very repeatable on my machine. When starting FreeCAD, using Sketcher, the circle function fails to display the circle. After doing a few tests, if you sketch a circle first, the circle and grid disappears. If you draw a line first, then draw a circle, it seems to work ok. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1) Start FreeCAD 2) Close the Start Page 3) Using Toolbar, drop list box and choose Sketcher 4) Click Create Empty Document icon 5) Click Unnamed in the Project window to the left 6) Click on icon for Create or Edit new Sketch 7) Choose XY-Plane sketch orientation, the grid and cross hairs correctly appear 8) Click the "Create a Circle" icon 9) Click on the origin, then move upward 40mm (also tried with 4mm) and click a second time. At this time the circle will disappear, the grid disappeared, and all that is left is the cut off version of the cross hairs with a "Create tangent Constraint between two entities" If you click anywhere in the screen outside of the circle, the cross hairs also disappear. | ||||
Additional Information | I just noticed the "tool tips" do not pop-up anymore, but do appear in the bottom status bar of the window. | ||||

Hi CDFacets, I noticed a similar version of this bug recently too, or at least a very similar sounding bug. The problem with the circle comes about because of the automatic tangent constraint - essentially the solver is trying to make the circle's centre stay on the origin, while simultaneously keeping the Y (same works for X) axis tangential to the circle. I imagine that the grid issue follows on from this, but haven't investigated. A workaround for FreeCAD 0.14 is to untick the "automatic constraints" box in the sketcher task view, or don't put your second click as close to the axis. I'm currently working on keyboard shortcut for disabling automatic constraints (and snap-to-grid with a different key), and hope to have it ready for testing within a few days. The current version will compile and gives you Ctrl to disable auto constraints; it's not done, but feel free to pull it and test ;) : https://github.com/ianrrees/FreeCAD_tinkering - branch sketcher-cancel-auto-constraints . More permanent fixes might include: * Prevent suggestion of constraints for obvious degenerate cases like this, or better attempt to solve a sketch before suggesting constraints. * Have Sketcher report an error/warning message when this situation occurs. * Suggest the perpendicular constraint when it's a better fit than the tangential. |

Since it's a duplicate of the fixed 909 this can be closed, too. |
