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
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.
This fixes some DXFs imports where unforunately CAD tools like SolidWorks
randomly decide to mirror circle definitions across the "z" axis (resulting in x or y axis flips in 2d)
Most likely live projection from 3D to 2D drawings introduces this.
However this is DXF specification to describe it so obtusely with vectors for a 2d drawing.
DXF blocks are virtual groups of items.
The insert entity is what actually places all the block contents at a given coordinate.
This should fix importing drawings from professional CAD tools like SolidWorks that will have a good bit of blocks.
The reality is the DXF file can still override the selected unit option which is totally fine.
In fact, per specification, there is a way to change units mid-file with block records :/
There is no guarantee DXF contains $INSUNIT to specify the units of the file as its optional.
This allows the user to specify the expected units via dropdown.
SolidWorks can definitely generate such unit lacking files as an example
