this option was possible only by modifying the way display options are managed.
before these changes, display options were a global DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Now each EDA_DRAW_FRAME(and derivated classes) includes its own DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
As a consequence, some duplicate display option variables in these classes have been removed, because there were just duplicate variables of the DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
BOM dialog: remove a not very useful button, and merge its function with an other (not perfect, need more work)
Add message box to show info added in BOM python scripts (See scripts/bom-in-python/README-bom.txt about this info)
- Removed the friends MODULE and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME from TEXTE_MODULE
(as in the @todo comment)
- Refactored the Rotate/Flip/Mirror for text in modules into the
TEXTE_MODULE class itself (members RotateWithModule, FlipWithModule,
MirrorWithModule)
- New behaviour in coloring text on screen: reference and value still
take the color from the MOD_TEXT_FR_VISIBLE and MOD_TEXT_BK_VISIBLE
visibles; other text takes the color of the layer containing it
(except when hidden, obviously) but still get its visibility
controlled by those visibles (probably the most intuitive and useful
behaviour)
- Still need to decide: should text on a layer be hidden when the layer
is? Probably yes (still to be implemented);
- Some comment fixed and many cast converted to static_cast
- DIALOG_DXF_IMPORT works with PCB_BASE_FRAME instead of PCB_EDIT_FRAME
- imported items are not immediately added to a BOARD
- imported items are held in a list, instead of vector
- imported items are instantly visible in GAL view
- added DIALOG_DXF_IMPORT::GetImportedItems()
- code formatting
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY. Now any major
frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
in the whole KIWAY. Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.
*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives. The function
KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.
*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.
*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
quickly. It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
relationships.
*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.
*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.
*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
modal wxFrame.
On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.
- SEGVIA becomes VIA
- Drill size moved from TRACK to VIA
- Removed shape from TRACK, becomes ViaType in VIA
- GetTrace becomes GetTrack, for uniformity
- Some minor constification and typo fixes
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
*) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().
*) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.
*) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.
$ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/
Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us.
*) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.
*) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.
if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager.
*) Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted
when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a
specific project.
*) Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files. They still have to be
in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty
when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still
in their original build directories. For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface
to build/kicad/.
*) Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading
_pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager. Got that working for one
specific invocation just for proof of concept. Surprise, it works.
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
Renamed BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::SetNet() -> SetNetCode()
Added BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet() for accessing NETINFO_ITEM* of a given item.
Fixed module editor crash when launched to edit a module from a PCB.
Replaced some BOARD::FindNet( item->GetNet() ) calls with BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet().
Renamed BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::SetNet() -> SetNetCode()
Added BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet() for accessing NETINFO_ITEM* of a given item.
Fixed module editor crash when launched to edit a module from a PCB.
Replaced some BOARD::FindNet( item->GetNet() ) calls with BOARD_CONNECTED_ITEM::GetNet().
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).
comment for GITHUB_PLUGIN which should flow into Doxygen output.
*) Rewrote:
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library(): now uses fp-lib-table and PROPERTIES.
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard(): now can archive to any writable library type.
PCB_BASE_FRAME::SelectLibrary(): is now generic for selecting a library, not just the active library.
Fix an annoying issue about not named nets:
now, these nets are named from the component references and pin names which are connected.
therefore, unless the net or the footprint references are modified, the net name is not modified between 2 netlist calculations.
(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)
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
To do: fix issues in active layer selection when creating a track and layer pair selection dialog
Netlist dialog: add option to report only most important messages. Useful for large boards.
class REPORTER: add features to allow a basic message filtering (flags to report all/warning/error messages)
Fix Bug #1214599 ( tools are deselected on Move command )
*) add hotkey for setting the grid origin as 'S', in board editor, module editor.
*) re-position the function interface for cursor movement from BASE_SCREEN into
class EDA_DRAW_FRAME. This is a prelude to getting rid of BASE_SCREEN or
splitting it up.
* Add footprint library table loading to footprint editor.
* Overload FOOTPRINT_INFO::ReadFootprintFiles() to read footprints from the
footprint library tables.
* Fix a bug in FP_LIB_TABLE::IsEmpty() when the table has a fallback table.
* Add code to FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME to use footprint library tables.
* Add an optional build time version of PCB_EDIT_FRAME::loadFootprints() to
populate netlist footprints from footprint library table.
* Remove adding footprints to board whenever GetModuleLibrary() is called and
move loading locally as required.
* Add missing source file license comments and coding policy fixes.
* Add code for loading, modifying, and saving the global and project
footprint library tables.
* Add code to load MODULE objects using the footprint library table to
the footprint viewer.
* Add static methods to FP_LIB_TABLE to support loading footprint library
tables.
* Complete encapsulation of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Fixed a bug in the EDA_TEXT::Format() default effects behavior due to
improper conversion to internal units and missing test for default
thickness.
* Improved grammar of some Pcbnew context menu strings.
* Moved some more cleverly hidden BOARD object methods into class_board.cpp.
* Lots of coding policy and documentation fixes.
* Encapsulate most of the MODULE class.
* Start encapsulating the DIMENSION class.
* Lay some groundwork for EDA_TEXT encapsulation.
* Move cleverly hidden MODULE functions into class_module.cpp.
* Use std::swap to exchange TEXTE_PCB values for undo/redo.
* Remove unused members from MODULE class.
* The usual coding policy and documentation fixes.
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Encapsulate BLOCK_SELECTOR class member variables and add access methods.
* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.
* Remove Doxygen copydoc statement from objects derived from EDA_ITEM
since the comments are automatically copied to the derived object.
* Removed copy and pasted Doxygen comments from objects derived from
EDA_ITEM.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of
destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
Lee algorithm replaced by a Minimun Spanning Tree algo (using Prim's algorithm ).
Tested on a 5350 pads board, it is more than 100 times faster.
Also fix a crash when clicking on tool "delete selected items" (main horizontal toolbar),
and remove this tool (currently, no code in Pcbnew for this tool)
* Grammar and spelling fixes in Eeschema, CvPcb, and Pcbnew path and
library dialog tool tips.
* Translate the French file name subrill.cpp to highlight.cpp.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Move various locate functions into the appropriate board item object.
* Unified best zoom for all frames derived from PCB_BASE_FRAME.
* Remove track.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Dead code removal.
* Remove scary frame window pointer member from board item objects.
* Add draw bounding box to gerber draw item for debugging purposes.
* Changed <wx-2.8/xml/xml.h> to "xnode.h" in pcbnew_config.cpp to fix bug
when building against wxWidgets 2.9 and above.
* Convert broken wxXmlNode code to use XNODE.
* Overloaded XNODE constructor for creating child nodes.
* Translate French naming conventions.
* Translate French comments.
* Remove tabs from several source files.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* Add hotkey "P" - place item
* Add record and play macros for sequence hotkey.
Macros set to numeric key 0..9.
<Ctrl>+<numkey> - start record macros
<hotkey> <mouse move> ... <hotkey>|<mouse place>
<Ctrl>+<numkey> - end record macros
<numkey> - play macros
* Add menu save/read macros to/from xml-file
* Add configure rotate angle for rotate module: 45 or 90 deg.
* fix segfault when move/drag segment if disconnected to pad
