Any output on the Report Window?
I can not reproduce that error...

Yes, we'd need the exact error message, with the right spelling... Better to copy and paste.

exact message:

local variable 'DraftTools' referenced before assignment

I have seen this before.

Hm probably something in draft initgui script... I'm without computer right now but will look into it asap.

Ok I managed to have a look, but am unable to reproduce the bug either. Can you give an exact step by step procedure to make the bug happen?

MSI install? 7Zip? Clean machine or your developer machine?
Reproducible on other machines?

As far as i can see the draft wb has no problems, probably something went wrong in the packaging... Can you check what's inside freecad_install_path/Mod/Draft?

when I compile, it still happens - so not packaging problem IMO

It appears to work on my office PC.

Crap. Now I need to figure what is wrong on my dev PC.

Sorry for false alarm.

No problem Petar,
I have often the problem of polluted Dev machines.
You install and install and at some points you can not get ride
of some stuff.

E.g. Visuall Studio is a nightmare in that. You never get fully ride of
some of the components.
There fore I have Virtuallbox with clean OS installs to test.
But any hint on a problem is important!

    		Hm i should modify a bit the initscript to bail out if some module dcouldn't be imported, but i don't understand why some piece of the draft module didn't import in the first place...

    Could you show me the contents of the draft module folder?

    I fiddled with some preference settings (among them, macro and log file) and now it seems to work.
    I assume that the module could fail if it tries to open temporary or logfiles under Windows in the C:\Program Files (x86)\ directory tree, which is forbidden as it is in some way write protected.

    It could also be that the selftests did repair something, as I have run these also several times and subsequent runs did not give the same errors (Didn't note them) with pop-ups. (Altough counters at the end stayed always at 0)

    		Your Program directory is FreeCAD0.12 ?
    Is that right? A mix up would explain that error....

    		It was the default directory that the installer FreeCAD_0.12.5284_x86_setup.msi proposed.
    The V13 I unfolded simply the 7zip file FreeCAD_0.13.1803_x86_RC_bin.7z into it, for trying to check out the new features and to see of my other reported (fillet) problems were also present in that newer unstable version (most did).
    But the draft problem was already present before I downloaded V13, but as I did not needed that workbench, I did not care at first with that error, knowng FreeCad is still a work in progress. I used only part and part design to make a curtain support. (http://www.fablab-leuven.be/?q=node/164)

    		I believe the draft problem was not present with the fresh installation, but got into it after making some additinal preferences. It could also be after using some functions inside FreeCad.
    For the moment all benches seems to be activated:
    Just Inspection complains in the report view a bit:
    Loading GUI of Inspection module... done
    Cannot find icon: mesh_pipette

    And in Arch bench, he wants a pina colada :-)
    Loading MeshPart module... done
    pycollada not found, no collada support
    Loading Arch module... done

    		Other consideration is of course, since I could crash the program several times, is that some files were left, where after restart the initialisation of the workbench stumbles on their unexpected presence or state.

    administrator   ~0002807

    		Most probably those errors are all related to installing/reinstalling with different methods (installer, zipfile, etc) and different versions (the install procedure might have changed), leaving leftover files, or removing wrong ones... But it is hard to know exactly from the info you provided. As far as I saw the Draft module currently in git master is okay, I'd just like to see if the win installer is okay too, so let's leave this open to see if more reports appear...

    The error you had with 012 is indeed a bug, but it has been solved since then.

    ghia

    2013-01-06 15:09

    reporter   ~0002808

    		I have only the 2 versions installed by the methods described above and did not install other versions or with other methods, nor uninstall or reinstall versions.

    For now, it is working. So, i tend to believe that leftovers from crashes were the most probable cause. The error occured in both versions and did go also in both.

    "The error you had with 012 is indeed a bug, but it has been solved since then. "
    But after 0.13.1803? Because that still crashes.

    administrator   ~0002809

    		These are 2 different problems... the typo error in 012 is fixed in 013, but the "unimportable" module is another problem. Anyway, the file structure of the Draft module changed drastically between those 2 versions... If you unzipped 013 in the 012 folder, as stated above, i think your freecad installation must be pretty messy, and probably all remaining errors come from that...

    		I did not state or do such things.

    The v12 is regulary installed by the msi file in C:\Program Files (x86)\FreeCAD0.12
    The V13 was a 7zip unpacked in D:\downloads\freecad\v13\ and run from there by double click on \bin\FreeCAD.exe
