Re: can not determine correct page

Post by damib »

Hi to everyone,

sorry but the problem is still there:

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.13541 (Git) AppImage
Build type: None
Branch: releases/FreeCAD-0-17
Hash: 9948ee4f1570df9216862a79705afb367b2c6ffb
Python version: 2.7.6
Qt version: 4.8.6
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.3.0
Locale: Italian/Italy (it_IT)


At the moment seems to be impossible to have more than one TechDraw page in a project, as I add a second page I cannot put anything on any page because of "Cannot determine correct page" error.

your first post, welcome to FreeCAD.

well it would be since you are talking about 0.17, try the latest 0.18 snapshot and please report if that version has a bug, almost always development and bug fixes happen only in the development version, generally the release versions are static (with some recent exceptions).

FreeCAD 0.18dev is getting close to being the next release version now.

Whenever you think you have found a bug, please always first test it in the most recent development snapshot or PPA or self compiled etc. version of FreeCAD, you will often find its already fixed.

Are you selecting the Page and the Source? If you have multiple pages, you have to tell FC which page to use.

I have no issue here with FC 0.17.13541.

BTW what wandererfan wrote is also mentioned in the wiki.

TechDraw NewView
TechDraw NewProjGroup

the wiki wrote:2. If you have multiple drawing pages in your document, you will also need to select the desired page in the tree.

Not sure if this is still relevant but I found clicking the part and then ctrl+clicking the page worked.

That's how multiple object selection works (except in Sketcher). You could have also clicked the page first, then Ctl-click on the part.

I had this problem for a while. It seems that the correct way to insert a view is to click the page you want to insert it into, then hold down the multi-select button (Command on a Mac, not sure about Windows) and select the item you want to insert (either a body or a sketch, typically). With both selected simultaneously, you should then be able to click TechDraw -> Insert View and it will know which page you want it on.

Anything to add beyond jezeer's and wandererfan's two years old posts above?
