Confused by DraftGeomUtils.isPtOnEdge behaviour (a bug?)

[kwahoo]

Hi,

Those two scripts draw two arcs and find their intersection. isPtOnEdge should return true in the both cases, but it's not:

Code: Select all

p1 = Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = Vector(5, -10, 0)
r = 10
pl = FreeCAD.Placement(p1, Vector(0,0,1), -90)
pl2 = FreeCAD.Placement(p2, Vector(0,0,1), 180)
arc = Draft.makeCircle(radius=r,placement=pl,face=False,startangle=-90,endangle=90,support=None)
arc2 = Draft.makeCircle(radius=r,placement=pl2,face=False,startangle=-90,endangle=90,support=None)
intersect = DraftGeomUtils.findIntersection(arc.Shape.Edges[0], arc2.Shape.Edges[0])
inters = intersect[0]
is_point = DraftGeomUtils.isPtOnEdge(inters, arc2.Shape.Edges[0])
print inters, is_point

returns:

Code: Select all

Vector (-4.916198487095665, -8.708099243547831, 0.0)True

While

Code: Select all

p1 = Vector(0, 0, 0)
p2 = Vector(5, -5, 0)
r = 10
pl = FreeCAD.Placement(p1, Vector(0,0,1), -90)
pl2 = FreeCAD.Placement(p2, Vector(0,0,1), 180)
arc = Draft.makeCircle(radius=r,placement=pl,face=False,startangle=-90,endangle=90,support=None)
arc2 = Draft.makeCircle(radius=r,placement=pl2,face=False,startangle=-90,endangle=90,support=None)
intersect = DraftGeomUtils.findIntersection(arc.Shape.Edges[0], arc2.Shape.Edges[0])
inters = intersect[0]
is_point = DraftGeomUtils.isPtOnEdge(inters, arc2.Shape.Edges[0])
print inters, is_point

returns:

Code: Select all

Vector (-4.114378277661477, -9.114378277661476, 0.0)False

Good catch, that code was indeed a bit buggy... I just found and committed a much more efficient method... It should work OK now. git commit b0c157a

Great! Finally my chain generator script works as intended.

Thanks Yorik.

These days forgetting to post FreeCAD info doesn't nearly annoys me as much as people posting help requests in the Part Design forum. Even with a big honking topic "Please do not post help requests here" staring right at them.
