Summary0004123: MacOS "Datum (whatever dimension) mm for the constraint with index (whatever constraint) is invalid."
DescriptionOS: macOS 10.14
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.18.16117 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: (HEAD detached at 0.18.2)
Hash: dbb4cc6415bac848a294f03b80f65e888d531742
Python version: 3.6.7
Qt version: 5.6.2
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: English/UnitedStates (en_US)

I found a problem that had been reportedly fixed in this issue ID: 0002167

I may have more information. This is in regards to the error message:

"Datum (whatever dimension) mm for the constraint with index (whatever constraint) is invalid."

This makes the horizontal and vertical "distance" constraints unusable.
Steps To ReproduceI'm new to this application and I am following a tutorial found here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HEvhclR4-o&list=PL6fZ68Cq3L8k0JhxnIVjZQN26cn9idJrj

He has us set up a new sketch and then draw a box and add symmetry constraints in Sketcher workbench. Once done, he has us click a side and apply either horizontal or vertical distance of 200mm. If done in this order - the distance tools are not usable and teh error message "Datum (whatever dimension) mm for the constraint with index (whatever constraint) is invalid." is given.

HOWEVER - if you apply the distance BEFORE applying symmetry constraints then the distance tools work fine.
Additional InformationIf I can help or provide more info or screen recordings - happy to do so. Thanks for a great piece of software!

Hi,
Just signed in to report that this bug is still showing up on 0.19 for MacOS (10.15). On some rare situation it works, most of the time, it fails with the message reported by the OP.
A workaround is to click the formula button and enter the constant in the formula field. Then it is correctly set.

Formula based on spreadsheet works as expected too.

@Max_B please post your full About information.
Note: OP didn't create a forum thread as we requested. I will open one and x-link to this ticket.

Must add that the reported problem showed up when I reopened an old file from free cad 0.17 and after while, when the project was somehow cleaned to run under 0.19, the issue occurs very rarely. I'm not sure of the condition to reproduce.

@Max_B can you attach said file?
BTW, the most up to date version of FC on MacOS is 22284 (please update and test again)

The file is here : http://ac-mb.info/perso/turbine%202020.FCStd
I'm not 100% sure of the constraints that were refusing to work, but I think that's the 3 in the sketch 032 (poket12 of corp in part injecteur).
Now you'll find that those constraints are somehow referencing other constraint in the same sketch that I can't find.

For the record, to circumvent the refusal of a constant value, I had to click the formula button and set it there.
It seems that now, one can nil the formula and enter a value.
