Can't delete a reference point #603
|
When I toyed with the measurement tool it created a reference point and nothing I've done can delete it! I've tried right-clicking on it and it only opens up the standard browser right-click menu. I've tried double-clicking, slowly-double clicking, and clicking. Nothing seems to work. Also....what is that blue workplane off the default workplane? I think that may have something to do with it. 
Attached is the but report zip file for testing. |

@Cowski4444 thank you for the pictures and the project, they made it easy to see. The blue-grey surface is your workplane: you put it on a face of the part (origin 41 / 0 / 7). Click into empty space, press Esc or use the arrow pointing down below the eye button, and it goes back to the base plate. The orange circle is a reference point from the tape measure. Clicking it should open a small card with the coordinates and a Delete button. When you click it, does the card open, or does nothing at all happen? And does it behave differently when you first leave the tape measure with Esc? That tells me where to look. |

When I click on it, the little hand grabs it to allow me to move it around. That's it. And when I leave the tape measure, nothing is left as you can see from the bug report I sent you, there is nothing there but the drawing and that reference point. And I GLADLY donated today!!! Thank you for a GREAT application!!! |

@Cowski4444 thank you for the details, and thank you for your support, I am glad you like layerling. Two things to try. First leave the tape measure completely (the red X in its bar or Esc), because while it is active a click on the point is used as a measuring point and does not open the card. Then click the point once without moving the mouse. If the card still does not open, right-click on an empty spot of the 3D view, not on the point. The menu there has "Delete all reference points (1)", which removes it. Please tell me which of the two works, or if neither does. |

Okay...this is what happened. I tried right-clicking somewhere else on the workplane and only got this: BUT....when I clicked on the object, then right-clicked on that, I got the "Delete all reference points (1)" like I should. And that did work! So, it looks like it is somewhat working. :) David Buchhauser from the Facebook group tried to help to no avail. I'll relay what we have found to him so if someone else runs into it, this is how to fix it. And I got the blue-workplane to go away too by using the icon below the eye. Worked great!! But it would be nice to know why I don't get the "click to show the coordinates" box. Dave Buchhauser showed me what I should get. I don't get that. I'm using the current version of the Brave browser. Chrome was giving me problems a few weeks ago so switched to Brave. Not sure if that matters or not. 
As always, let me know if you need me to help with anything. I'm retired, a lot of free time on my hands, and would love to pitch in. :) |

@Cowski4444 thank you, and sorry: I told you the wrong place. "Delete all reference points" was only in the right-click menu of a selected body, exactly as you found. I changed it, so with the next update it is in the menu of an empty spot of the 3D view too. About the coordinates card: a click on the point without moving the mouse should open it, and Brave should not matter. If it still only grabs the point, a short screen recording of what you do would show me what is different. And thank you for the offer. Bug reports like yours, with the pictures and the project, already help a lot. |

@Cowski4444 the change is out in 1.92.2: "Delete all reference points" is now also in the right-click menu of an empty spot of the 3D view. |
