Link arrays in assemblies make move tools inaccessible

[shyblower]

When I use link arrays inside of an assembly I cannot utilize any of the move tools (move part, axial move part, quick move) for any part in the same assembly. They become greyed out and inaccessible.

I can't reproduce the problem. Can you please post an demo file showing the problem. A screen cast will be better, too.

[shyblower]

It happens when you constrain an array element, regardless of the constraint type. After that the three tools become greyed out and inaccessible for every part in the assembly. Using the "transform" command from the context menu on a part in the tree view, works, though. As long as you just constrain non array parts everything works as usual.
If you still need a screen cast I can provide one, but I believe you will be able to reproduce it now.

[realthunder]

Please post your FreeCAD about information here. And yes please post the screen cast. Maybe I misunderstood what you're saying, but I still can't reproduce the problem.

Did you manually install Assembly3 workbench before by cloning this repo to your user FreeCAD directory? If so, please delete the directory and restart FreeCAD. I suspect you're using an older version.

That's whats in my ~/.FreeCAD/Mod folder:

3D_Printing_Tools
BIM
CurvedShapes
FCGear
Lithophane
MeshRemodel
Silk
dxf_library
lattice2
parts_library
Assembly4
BOLTSFC
Curves
LCInterlocking
Manipulator
Reinforcement
ThreadProfile
fasteners
library
sheetmetal

... no Assembly3, so it should take the one from the AppImage.
Next I'll try with an empty ~/.FreeCAD folder.

[shyblower]

Works ok with a fresh ~/.FreeCAD folder, so it may be an interplay with one (or more) of the other addons or some configuration I did. I will investigeate this.

[realthunder]

Oh, now that I rewatched your video, I can see where the problem is. You have the Lock mover option enabled. It seems there is a bug in that option for Link array. I'll fix it soon. You can disable that option for a work around.

[realthunder]

Clearing the .FreeCAD directory clears all the settings, including the Lock mover option.

[shyblower]

Indeed, it was the lock mover. Thank you for investigating this, and for your efforts regarding FreeCAD development.

You're welcome. It's been fixed by the above commit.
