[Sketcher] Distance to circle

[chrisb]

Has the problem with build system has been solved?

See https://devtalk.freecad.org/t/solved-conda-compilations-are-failing-on-all-platforms-no-weekly-builds/68085/1 .

tldr: build system still broken, the “new” builds that are uploaded are just the same reuploaded.

great! unfortunately since over a month a new build is a chimera

I have just seen that the revision number hasn’t changed, but it seems to have been updated yesterday. My version dates from the 4th of march and has revision number 32198. The same was published yesterday.

yes, only the date is changing but the build is always the same, moreover the version for py3.10 is still older … 31197 dated 16 February

I just tested circle to circle distance. It works well!
Canit be extended to arcs as well? Like tangency or point-on-object it should work as if it was a full circle, so hopefully it is not too much effort.

I plane to write line to circle and point to circle too.

Do you plan to integrate this into 0.21? I want to include this new constraint into my sketcher lecture, and it would of course be less effort, if I could change it all at once.

Hi chrisb ,
Distance to Arc is here : https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/9166
and Circle to Line here : https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/9044

Thanks flachyjoe, I will describe it in the document hoping that it will make it into 0.21.

Hi flachyjoe,

I’ve noticed that the newly implemented circle to circle distance constraint doesn’t work when one of the circles is an external geometry:

Is that a known limitation ?

Is that a known limitation ?

No, it’s a bug!

EDIT: NewJoker FYI the fix is in progress.
EDIT 2: the fix is now merged.
