@pieterhijma Are properties ASCII-only in FreeCAD by design?

It works here

1. Good -----> Unicode
2. Bad -----> ASCII

Thank you for reporting! Properties can only contain ASCII characters (digits, uppercase and lowercase letters, and underscore). I believe the reason is that they should be used as expressions as well. The optional Sketcher name for the constraints allows unicode characters as input and that seems to me a bug. @free777cat, do you want to create an issue in upstream FreeCAD? I can do this as well if you prefer.

Do you want to remove UNICODE?

[free777cat]

To be honest, I don't really like that you can't use your own language :((

[pieterhijma]

@free777cat, sorry, my explanation may be a bit unclear. Let me try to clarify: Currently in FreeCAD and Ondsel ES, properties can only consist of ASCII characters. The Sketcher allows Unicode characters as input for named constraints, but this is not aligned with the restriction in FreeCAD and Ondsel ES that defines that properties can only consist of ASCII characters. In that sense, Sketcher has a bug and it should be resolved. So, Sketcher should not allow unicode characters as input for named properties.

However, I fully understand that you would like to be able to create properties with unicode characters. This would not be a bug, but a feature request. I don't think it is very difficult to support this in FreeCAD and I would invite you to create an issue in FreeCAD asking for the feature to support unicode as properties.

I will be grateful if you create this "issue".
