| Summary | 0002792: Negative distances measured in feet/inch calculated incorrectly | ||||
| Description | When specifying a negative distance in <ft>'<inch>", such a -7'3", FreeCAD actually calculated the following distance: -7' + 3" = -6'9" This is obviously wrong... | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | - Set units to ft/inch - Create an object - select move object - select relative / copy - specify second point as -7'3" In the python console, you'll see the following: >>> Draft.move([FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.Rectangle001],FreeCAD.Vector(0.0,-2057.4,0.0),copy=True) -2057.4 = -6'9" instead of -7'3" | ||||

Part of a larger issue: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7182 Problem with negative values in InputField |
|
|
The problem is that the unit parser currently has problems understanding these complex unit notations... The 7'+3" is a (bad) workaround I found provisorily. The unit parser actually needs to be extended to understand things like 7'3" or 7'3 1/4"... |

Keep in the 0.17 roadmap or bump to 0.18 ? |

Fixed in https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/commit/46acd2f6a2ad32cb3ed56b551925dd483e8a55bc This is somewhat of a "hack" (notation now is -7'-3") but at least it works and is mathematically consistent... |
