Property cache conflict - 0.98 - 1.0

[Dragonfly]

I am not sure the bug is actually me

What I've done is copy the style library from v. 0.98P to v. 1.0-a11. And I get constant warning about drilling MOP's in 1.0 while opening 0.98 created files. Where there is a Spiral Drill method v. 1.0 says the existing one is a Canned Cycle (in v. 0.98 defined as Spiral Drill).
Even if I do change to Spiral Drill explicitly using the 'Property cache conflict' dialog buttons and save the file, on next open v. 1.0 again shows the conflict dialog.
If I open the same file saved in v. 1.0 in v. 0.98 the latter issues the same warning (i.e. what is set to Spiral Dril in one version appears as Canned Cycle in the other). The difference is that if I change again the MOP method manually and save the file in v. 0.98 no more warnings come out on consequent open actions.

It seems that in the two versions drill methods are with interchanged index. But again, maybe there are differences in style definitions for each version.

Hello,

In my case, if I open a file with spiral mill that comes from 0.9.8 in 1.0, my problem is that if Hole diameter is set to 'auto' in 0.9.8, it is not set to auto when the file is opened in 1.0, but no problem if the hole diameter is set to a value.

also, if as me the styles are common for both versions, and if both v0.98 and 1.0 are loaded at a time, so if you change something in a style in one version, you need to 'reload' the style in the other version so it take the changes in account.

Hi David,
I made a comparison between the two XML files by content. They are fully identical. Each is placed in the corresponding folder for the CB version.
I made a mistake not to make a copy of the original style library (millimeters) of v. 1.0 to test its behavior when the styles are not the same.
May I suggest original style and tool libraries, and also the settings file, are made available for download separated from the install package in case a restore is needed. I really wouldn't like to run install again (reinstall) only to restore one single file.

They are fully identical.

No, the 0.9.8 file the drill section starts with <drill>, the drill section in 1.0 file starts with  <drill Enabled="true">.
Also the order of the values is different.
This has nothing to do with this message but if the files are identical for you there is a mistake.

The message you get means that you have a different default value in your 0.9.8 version then in the 1.0.
You have to look at the styles in your versions. Start with changing the value for "Drilling Method" to standard in the CAM style "without name" in both versions. If you set both to "standard" you don´t get the message.
It is only a message and no error.
The message tells you that the basic settings in your versions are different. I mean this is not a bug.

I have tracked down this problem.

It looks like it has been in all versions since the property cache was added and was caused by the 'cached' DrillingMethod being lost during file load.  It wasn't related to any style differences.

This will be fixed in the next update. Thank you for flagging it!

May I suggest original style and tool libraries, and also the settings file, are made available for download separated from the install package in case a restore is needed. I really wouldn't like to run install again (reinstall) only to restore one single file.

One thing I am planning soon is to set up a github repository for things like the system libraries and also new things like script entity libraries.

Thanks, Andy!
Happy New Year and happy coding


@David
I meant they are identical after I copied the old over the new one (and lost the latter it in the meantime).

The github idea is very good, maybe also for the Translations and maybe for translated manuals and so on, (I have an done an Italian manual for 0.9.8, along with a revised italian translation plus some Linux helpers file hosted on my github site a while ago)
