Crash when opening cutout tool (with fix)

[Jacob]

Hi there, I’m new to FlatCam but I’ll try to give as much usable detail as possible.

My install details:

OS: Arch Linux (installed via the flatcam-git AUR package)
Python: 3.10
FlatCam: 8.994 Beta

‌

I am getting the following traceback when clicking on the ‘Cutout Tool’ button, after selecting a Gerber file and going to Properties:

WARNING: Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/flatcam/appTools/ToolCutOut.py", line 154, in run

    self.setChecked(val)
TypeError: setChecked(self, bool): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
/usr/bin/flatcam: line 3: 86852 Aborted

To fix this, on my machine I have simply changed the file appTools/ToolCutOut.py on line 236 from

self.ui.mpass_cb.set_value(float(tool_dict["tools_cutout_mdepth"]))

to

self.ui.mpass_cb.set_value(bool(tool_dict["tools_cutout_mdepth"]))

The modification is to simply change the cast from float to bool.

I couldn’t actually find that file in the source code for this repo, otherwise I would have submitted a pull request to fix it.

Hi,
This is my fork of FlatCAM where I work on it: https://bitbucket.org/marius_stanciu/flatcam_beta/branches/
I only push changes here when I’m ready for a release. And I think this issue has been fixed a while back.
But thanks for the report!
