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 objects might have changed between versions, causing some elements found in old 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 transfer 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

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.
