This allows to measure between features on a PCB. It uses a preview
EDA_ITEM in common, but due to the use of the IDs, it's currently
Pcbnew/Modedit only.
This also adds several "utils" for graphical functons useful when
drawing preview items on GAL canvases.
Fixes: lp:1467313
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1467313
Import becomes apply and export becomes copy.
The term "push" to apply settings globally has not been renamed.
Swap the order of the copy and apply in the context menu.
This plugin mechanism is enabled only if option -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON (it is off by default)
It imply -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=0N
This is currently for testing purposes only for developers, not yet for users.
* The exchange dialog can be now called from the footprint popup menu.
* It can be (as before) called from the footprint properties menu, but in this case, the footprint properties menu is closed before calling the exchange menu.
* Changes in exchange dialog to avoid truncation of long FPIDs
* Changes in exchange dialog to make some texts translatable (Previously, the same English sentence was used in very different contexts)
Rename eeschema/dialogs/dialog_sch_find.fbp to dialog_schematic_find_base.fbp, to be consistent with other dialogs.
Pcbnew run from the project manager: add menu Save Copy As..., which is the same command as Save As ... in stand alone mode, but with the constraints of a project (no cwd change, no board filename change, and keep project settings)
wxUpdateUIEvent events can be sent to parent frames, when opening a menu in a child frame, if parent and child frame share same ID fro menuitems (or tools)
The wrong menuitem can be used in some cases ( because there are more than one menuitem with the same identifier), by a wxUpdateUIEvent event function run in a parent frame.
Most of the GAL tools are activated by corresponding buttons on the right toolbar.
Removed menu entry for PNS router (as it is activated as the usual "Add track" tool).
Now footprints, after loaded by reading a netlist are grouped by sheets by the footprints spread function, and the grouping is better.
Rename 2 files. Fix minor issues. Clean code
(useful for boards having more than 2 layers)
Eeschema:fix compatibility with old schematic files, when they contain ERC markers.
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
Fix minor bugs in cleanup dialog options and plot solder mask function (thanks to Lorenzo to locate these bugs)
Moved switching canvas routines to pcbnew, as they are used only there right now (otherwise libgal would have to be linked to every Kicad application).
