CHANGED: Highlight net tool changed to highlight display toggle; moved to left toolbar
CHANGED: Multi-net highlight is now accessible when using the highlight net action
ADDED: Highlight Net and Clear Highlight actions to Net Tools context menu
ADDED: Default hotkey (Ctrl+`) for toggling net highlighting
The current and previous net highlight state are now stored and can be toggled
on or off with an action (no hotkey by default).
Highlight is now treated as a persistent state rather than a tool that is entered,
meaning there is no longer a special tool to enter in order to highlight nets.
Highlighting can be controlled while any other tool is active using the hotkeys
or context menu on a net object.
Tweak the icons for highlight net and layer display mode to better disambiguate them.

Differentiates better between the EDA_ITEM IsModified(), referring to
items themselves changing and the EDA_SCREEN IsContentModified(),
referring to whether we have made any unsaved changes.
After drawing a graphic, allow the control points to persist when
exiting the tool.
The effect of this is to make the first "Esc" press a
"return-to-select-tool" event without modifying the selection or control
points from within the drawing tools. The section "Esc" press, when in
the selection tool will clear the selection and the control points
called inside the board editor.
Fix also a broken behavior: the current action was not cancelled, and if it is
called during a move items (when typing the 'T' key), items were broken.
The actual bug is the fact it is called also in fp editor and footprint wizard frame,
because it is part of EDIT_TOOL action list, common to fp editor, and should not.
But a full change is much more costly than just a filter.
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
Also removes a bunch of old implementations of pad locking and
filtering which are no longer needed. (They're now handled by the
uniform locking code.)
Also removes some of the auto-promotion logic. Rotating a footprint
when a pad was selected is going to be surprising whether the pad
is locked or not.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8322
This code was shared between the footprint frame and
pcb edit frame, so push it into the base edit frame.
Also remove the dummy wxUpdateUIEvents that weren't
actually being used.
Use the connecting straight tracks even if not exactly parallel - allow
an error margin configurable in ADVANCED_CFG (default 1 degree). Also
be less strict about end point matching and use the width of the track
as the criteria to determine suitability.
Finally, delete any short lengths of track at the end of the operation
and amend the arc end points to keep connectivity.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7967
It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7739
After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
Loading this advanced configuration option statically will cause it to
show up in the hotkey list even when the option is disabled. Creating
the tool action at run time resolves this issue.
This is hidden behind an advanced configuration setting and is primarily
useful for developers trying to troubleshoot the netlist payload sent
from the board editor to the schematic editor.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8051
The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
Saying "Import/Export" on the labels when the submenu has "Import"
or "Export" in it is redundant.
Note that we can't just update the action text with the new name,
because that is used in the hotkey list and would become too confusing
without the "Import"/"Export" text.
SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys were handled in 2 different codes, one for
the selection tool and another to modify the mouse cursor shape, with 2
different configs.
Now the modifiers are managed from only one function.
Pcbnew: group also SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys management to a specific function.
Fixes#8021https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8021
We were discarding shapes too aggressively for having a
larger area than a shape underneath.
Let's also try showing fewer disambiguation menus, in particular
always preferring items on the active layer when the candidates
include overlapping items of similar area on other layers.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7949
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
CHANGED: add corner and repeat last command now default to 'I' instead
of '<insert>' on Mac.
1) wxWidgets doesn't currently display the correct graphic in the menu
for the insert key
2) Mac laptops don't have an instert key
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5016
The move tool can stack on others, so when we re-enter the previous tool
this caused another immediate action. We flag re-entry in the tool
stack to check for this and avoid unexpected tool starts
When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"
icon, they want to add the item. Requiring an extra click on the screen
before selecting the component/footprint is not needed.
Also remove an implicit zone merge that was happening when the user
edited the zone parameters. This appears to have been a feature but it
happened without a) telling the user and b) having the option to prevent
it.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7661
CHANGED: If the user made a selection and then tried dragging it, the
drag would only succeed if the selection contained at least one
footprint. Selections with only tracks and vias would instead make
KiCad drag a new selection box.
This MR allows routing of selections of a single track or via, while moving
selections containing more than one item, whether or not they also contain
a footprint.

Fixes#7578https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7578
This simple commit makes the Pcbnew copy to clipboard operation snap the
obtained cursor position to grid before the anchors are calculated. This
is also the way the move operation has been apparently working so far.
To be clear, this will not remove all cases where the copy reference
point is not aligned to the grid (see the linked Gitlab issue for
details about the problem). This will still occur for zone outlines that
are not axis-aligned. But such behavior has been so far also present in
the moving operation, so this may be as designed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7507
The automatic wire tool was not working in the gridless mode because the
grid snapping on/off logic present in `EE_GRID_HELPER`, based on the
value of `m_enableGrid`, was not taking into account that another check,
but for the global KiCad setting, would be performed in the `Align()`
method, which is inherited from `GRID_HELPER`.
I've modified all tests of `m_enableGrid` value to also take the global
setting into account, and moved checks for it to `Align()` method, as
it's more consistent this way.
I've also removed an override of the `Align()` method in the
`PCB_GRID_HELPER` class, as it was made redundant by my changes.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7402
Some differences are due to difference between libraries being files
in symbol editor and directories in footprint editor, but this unifies
most of the rest.
It also dispenses with the save-to-library vs save-to-document distinction
in the GUI because it makes for too much variability in the GUI, was
implemented differently between the two editors, and isn't needed as much
anymore now that we have the highly visible infobar.
There was also an issue that the save-to-board icon occupies the same
location and has the same size/shape/colours as the Board Setup icon in
PCBNew.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7215
Physical layer test needs to be board-visible-layers, not pad-layers.
Also cleans up the tests so that LOD factors in. (When things
disappear due to zoom level they should not be selectable.)

For some reason the post-pinned local variable references were replaced
with calls to the points themselves (which are the pre-pinned values).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7291
One way to do this would have been to keep the Uuids in the editor
copy. However, this opens us up to errors if we forget a Save As or
export path and end up writing the Uuids out somewhere else.
In the end, it felt safer to store a map of the original Uuids and
restore them if we happen to save the editor footprint back to the
board.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7312
... because that's where we do hole-to-copper clearance testing.
Also augments the Clearance Resolution reporter to report on said

And changes the interpretation of HOLE_CLEARANCE_CONSTRAINT to include
local pad clearance overrides.

CHANGED footprint positions files -> component placement files.
Not all footprints get placed, so component is a more neutral word.
Use of "placement" instead of "positions" removes the double-plural
that makes footprint positions files such a mouth-full.

Show the dragging tools in the context selection menu when a single
component is selected. Prevent the dragging tools from appearing when
more than one object is selected, as they will not activate anyway.
