| Summary | 0002621: Exporting with File Type *.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf should be prevented if not in Drawing WB | ||||
| Description | While I'm testing with v.17 daily build I have the same issue in V 0.16 If a user is not in the Drawing WB and doesn't have a drawing to export the Export logic should not allow them to attempt to export using the Drawing export File types. *.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf Currently there is no warning message presented and it appears as if the operation has succeeded unless you have started the program from the command line and are watching the terminal window. When attempting to export a *.dxf file you either get an empty dxf file or no file at all. From a usability point of view the software should at the very least inform the user that it cannot process the export. Better yet it should block the attempt to export the file if there is no Drawing object associated with the request. The software does output some information in the terminal window if you are running from a terminal but this needs to be presented in the GUI so that the users can easily see it. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Create a project with NO Drawing objects in it. Make a new model in Part Design WB Change to Draft and generate a 2D representation. Select the 2D View object just created Do File->Export and select the *.svg, *.svgz, *.dxf export File Type and enter foobar.dxf for the file name Save the exported file. Note that either there is NO foobar.dxf file produced or there is a 0 byte foobar.dxf file produced. | ||||

This should not have been created under the Path project, this is an issue affecting the global UI. Path refers to the workbench of the same name. |

Sorry I missed that it was still on the Path project... In the future I'll triple check if posting a buglet. Thanks... |

https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/8faa9f38bb70a598afc2bc39ea1645d416ab057e now pops up an error dialog in case of a failure to better inform the user. In the past the error was only reported in the output window which the user may easily overlook. |
