Latest Win LP Builds - Part_SectionCut Warning on Draft Wb Loading/Activation

[kisolre]

When run this code in python console I get a pop-up window

Just as a reference build it works here:

I'm on a Release build

Code: Select all

>>> dump = FreeCAD.ConfigDump()
>>> dump['Debug']
'0'

Having merged my Win config files with Linux paths, I'm now able to reproduce the Warning on Linux as well and therefore I can now Git Bisect to prove if/which recent commit has triggered the Unknown Command Part_SectionCut. Further Report later this afternoon.

Alternative:

Code: Select all

App.ConfigGet('Debug')

@heron -- do you have non ascii characters in your username on your computer?

Code: Select all

App.getUserAppDataDir()

By the way, if you want to try out the Part_SectionCut command, enter into the python console:

Code: Select all

Gui.runCommand("Part_SectionCut",0)

You should have some solid object to use it on. It is similar to view -> clipping plane, but does it with boolean cuts and you get a keepsake souvenir object.

Looks like the root cause has been found and hopefully a PR will be raised, see https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic. ... 44#p569244

OK, my mistake, I registered the new feature accidentally to all WBs instead of only to the Part WB:

Since I am currently abroad, I would be happy if someone could make a PR to register it only to the Part WB but keeping it in the View menu. I can the merge this PR or another developer can do this.

Not sure I got it right. Haven't tested it. Also had no idea if added Part_SectionCut to the location in the menubar

Thanks, however, this is not right. The cutting feature must be in the View menu and visible no matter what workbench you are in. Otherwise it is not that useful - the main application would be assemblies. So In fact, I was right to add it to the general Gui Workbench.cpp. It seems it needs more thoughts.

do you have non ascii characters in your username on your computer?

Thank you very much, I managed fix it. My username has all ascii characters, but one path of system "Path" environment variable had a non ascii character, i fixed it and voila, now I get the same result as Kisolre and Kunda1. Sorry for the OT and the noise.
