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. This command tries to fix those bad objects by recreating a new one from scratch, then copying the contents of the properties from the old one to the new one. It can be run with objects selected, in which case it will only look at the selected objects, or with no object selected. All the objects of the current document will then be scanned for errors. If no error is found, this command will do nothing.

Description

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

Because of the fast development of FreeCAD, some elements might have changed between versions, causing some objects found in old files to contain errors or not load properly when opened with a more recent version of FreeCAD. The Heal tool tries to recreate the older objects from scratch, and transfer their properties from the older version to the newer version.

Usage

  1. Select one or more problematic objects.
  2. Go to the menu Draft → Utilities → Heal.

If no objects are selected then the entire document is scanned for errors; if no error is found the tool will do nothing.
