Because of the fast evolution of FreeCAD, some object definitions might change over time and between versions, causing some Draft objects found in older files to not load properly or contain errors when opened with a more recent version of FreeCAD.

Description

This command tries to fix Draft Workbench objects that were created with an older version of FreeCAD, so that they can be modified with a more recent version.

Because of the fast evolution of FreeCAD, some object definitions might change over time and between versions, causing some objects found in older files to contain errors or not load properly when opened with a more recent version of FreeCAD. This tool tries to recreate the older objects from scratch, and copy the properties from the older object to the newer object.

How to use

  1. Select one or more problematic objects to heal, or nothing to scan the whole document
  2. Press the Heal button
