FreeCAD daily 0.18 auto constraints not working

[geobruce]

Hi I'm used to the auto constraints, when you draw a line in sketcher and its horizontal / vertical / fixed to an object.
But for my freeCAD it isn't working any more, although it is enabled in the sketcher preferences.

Is this a bug or can I get this working again?
thnx

Did you try to switch it of an on? If it doesn't help you can try to reset the configuration with the button in the preferences. Another possibility is to delete your config files or to move them in case you want to restore them.

Even stranger I disabled it and now it works...

Can't confirm on Ubuntu 16.04 and self compiled Py2/Qt5 development build.

P.S. I tested with Auto constraints set to ON and coincidence was added between two lines and their points. And when set to OFF that didn't happen.

I'm experiencing a similar problem, as if auto constraints are being completely ignored.
I've tested it on Ubuntu 19.04:
* Freecad from Ubuntu repo
* App image
* Freecad Stable PPA

Also tried the PPA on Ubuntu 18.04. same behavior.
Made a screen-cast, the settings screen gets cut off in the video, there I'm going to

Code: Select all

Edit->Preferences->Sketcher

and checking Auto constraints and applying.

Before starting Freecad, I did

Code: Select all

rm -rf ~/.Freecad

Will gladly provide more debug info.

I've just noticed by accident that if I move to the draft workbench and return back to sketcher I
end up with two grids.

However the auto constraints have started working now.

Draft has its own grid. You have to switch to Draft workbench and switch off the grid.

Exactly the same as the previous comments is happening to me. I installed 0.18.1 about 3 months ago, and have now installed 0.18.3 to the same problem: Auto constraints are not working at all after I upgraded to v18.

Did you reset your preferences? Please note that this works only with new sketches. If it still doesn't work, try the newest 0.19 version.
