(SOLVED) Draft error in 28193?

[thomas-neemann]

if I am in 28193 e.g. draw a 10 mm line, it is 1000 mm long. Can anybody confirm this?

I confirm!
Very strange indeed. To me draft creates a 10.000 m rarther then 10 mm, as in your video. It appear like if he don't understand the unit (mm => m).

This is an undesirable side-effect of the new handling of the decimal separator.

If the FreeCAD interface language is German (or any other "comma separator language" I suppose) you can fix the problem by checking the new "Use selected language number format" preference.
See Preferences_Editor#General.

Not sure how to solve this if the interface language is English.

Nope. Locales with comma as decimal separator and period as thousand separator (AFAIK).

Maybe fix. Please test and report.

If one having the problem is able to compile, you can test https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/6640 to see if it fixes issue.

It'll work if you change the language, but I reeeeeaaaaally don't want to do this; it makes searching for solutions harder, because I first have to check for the correct English phrases.

Also, if I try to check "English" and "Use selected language number format", it seems to clash with my system settings and leads to all kinds of unwanted behavior:

In Sketcher, commas get ignored.

In Path, periods get ignored, which, among other things, leads to defaults being 100.00 mm instead of 1.00 mm at first opening. And if I open the dialog again, all my settings are off again, because on top of that, commas will be automatically changed to periods.
