Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported sketch-example in a Windows cq-editor package, comparing the release and development versions. Check whether the 3D examples still render and document the observed 2D sketch behavior; done means the sketch is visible or the cause and required preference or version are identified.

Description

Hello,

I've tried the sketch-example

result = (
    cq.Sketch()
    .arc((0,0),1.,0.,360.)
    .arc((1,1.5),0.5,0.,360.)
    .segment((0.,2),(-1,3.))
    .hull()
   )

with several different cq-editor-packages (windows). Installation from artifacts like described.
But in no one (release version, development version from today (22.01.2023) or 1 month ago) a sketch is shown.
3d examplas work fine.

Do I have to change something in preferences for 2D/sketch-visibility?

Thanks for Feedback
Markus
