Line command

Post by paulye »

Dear friends,
I am new to FreeCad.
Try to draw a line, but only two points appeared on the workbench, the solid line appears only when cursor moves over it.
Please kindly advise to resolve this issue.
Thank you.

There's many ways to create a line. What workbench? Part? Sketcher? Draft? Please explain in more detail exactly what you are doing.

This sounds to me like a graphics card issue. Some are mentioned in the Known OS specific issues, and you can always upgrade the driver.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

Thanks for your input.
Just downloaded the latest version of FreeCad 0.20 and also watched some demonstration from Youtube. Very exited to start to learn FreeCad.
I was using Sketcher workbench. I tried to use line command to draw a line but only 2 points appeared on the workbench, I also tried other commands, results are the same, solid line appears only when cursor moves over it.
Without solving this issue, I'm not able to proceed further.
Please kindly advise.
Thank you.

I myself really want to help but it's no good description.
I draw lines all the time and never have such problems, so provide a detailed exact description of how you are doing the line, as said above include some screenshots.

You can attach files.
