[FIXED] Dimensions repeat their Arbitrary labels

[aapo]

Hi!

I noticed that whenever I change a dimension format to "Arbitrary" in a recent TechDraw version, the text entered into the Format Spec box repeats twice. Also, setting "Arbitrary" to false causes any other characters than the numeric value (e.g., "%g") to have no effect, i.e., only the raw number is shown in the actual dimension. I also get a lot of warnings, even though the there is a format specifier in Dimension001, and the number actually shows in the dimension:

Code: Select all

Warning - no numeric format in formatSpec - Dimension001

therefore it is possible that commit https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/90fad81 may have caused the regression.

should be fixed by git commit a1de871e93

Thanks! This indeed fixes the bug with Arbitrary labels, the word "Text" in the screenshot below with build 18567 is shown only once, as it should. However, the smaller bug with formatted labels still exists with the latest master, which has your patch. If I put a Format Spec value of

Code: Select all

(%.2f) x2

to the dimension, the result is shown in the screenshot below. Note that the value "10.00" shows in place of %.2f, but the braces and the text "x2" are not shown. Sometimes I use braces around helper dimensions in order to indicate that these are secondary dimensions, which can be calculated from other dimensions.

Now it works for me, after I compiled the very latest master. Apparently you had committed a new patch today, which solves the problem for builds larger than 18590. Thanks!

Just sat down to put out a notice, but you beat me to it. Thanks for testing!
