Rather than moving the netname around, we want to keep the correct
number of netnames on a track such that there is always at least one
displayed on long tracks even when panning.
This reduces calculation time while keeping the netnames visible
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/12436
When panning, we should only redraw the netnames when they come into
view or go out of view. Caching the LOD provides this preventing
unneeded redraws while still redrawing on zoom changes

dropping files to Kicad manager :
*.kicad_pro, *.pro -> open project;
gerber and job files -> open in Gerbview editor;
Eagle and Cadstar files -> open project.
dropping file to schematic editor -> append schematic;
dropping library file to Symbol editor -> add library;
dropping board file to PCB editor -> append board;
dropping library or footprint file to Footprint editor -> add library or import footprint;
dropping ZIP file or gerber files to Gerbview editor -> open files;
dropping sheet file to Drawing Sheet editor -> open sheet.

No longer used by modern PCB processes.
Only the code to add the target to the board has been removed. Parsing
code for existing designs with targets is left in place.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/10006
The condition that the board must have elements on it before allowing
the rotate command is invalid as we allow rotating new elements before
placement
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10581
(cherry picked from commit c1dcfdffb1)
This is for the out-of-box experience for novice users. It is presumed
that folks with larger more complicated boards will turn it off.

The 3D mouse support is moved from PCB_EDIT_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME.
This allows all PCB_BASE_FRAME derived windows to have 3D mouse enabled
2D navigation support.
Fix violations of 4.2.2 Function Definitions and 4.2.3 Control
Statements.
Set the minimum CMake version required to build to 3.1.
Removed the Visual Studio solution and project files.
Added full support for using a 3Dconnexion device in PCB_EDIT_FRAME. Commands are exported and can be assigned to 3D mouse buttons. Any limitations to the functionality are limitations of the installed 3Dconnexion driver for the device and OS.
Use build option KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION (default = ON) to control whether the SpaceMouse support is compiled into the solution.
Also fixes a bug where zones meeting at a point would get merged
resulting in a self-intersecting zone.
Also fixes a bug where undo would not be handled correctly when zones
could not be merged.

The value of this rotation was store in 2 places: the config and the editor frame.
So after changing the rotation angle from the preferences, the value in editor
frames were not updated, and the rotation angle not modified.
Now only the config value is used.
We cannot resolve the Canvas type without the canvas being initialized.
But saving settings sometimes requests canvas access. This protects the
calls against failure by checking for canvas before saving
canvas-specific settings
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9729
Also removes the message bar display of assigned netclass for
buses and bus-to-bus entries.
Also fixes a bug where assigning a netclass via the canvas only
looked at the first level of bus members (and not any nested
members).
Also fixes a bug where the bus name validator tried to validate
a vector bus first -- which doesn't work as a vector bus may be
nested in a group bus.
Also fixes a bug where we were failing to check for illegal
chars in bus definitions which otherwise passed the bus parsers.
See additional comments in the bug report.

This assigns the "Tab" key to a general pcbnew 45° limitation. Limit
can be enabled/disabled using context menu as well.
Removed the user preference for 45° limitation on graphic lines as that
is overlapping with the general limitation, which is not an editing
preference so much as a temporary adjustment to tool action.

Moves all of the find dialog control out of the selection tool similar
to the schematic editor. Dialog is also non-modal now to match the
schematic editor.

1) Don't wait for UpdateUserInterface to build the (global) list of
layer names.
2) Report clearance resolution between a silk layer and a mask layer.
3) When writing DRC reports, include info about the violating rule.
4) Report "no relevant layers" if we fail to find anything to write
a clearance resolution report about.

MacOS wxWidgets implementation of wxPrintf/Format suffers from some
issues when mixing string types. We avoid this by manually formatting
the string ourselves.

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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8250
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.
REMOVED: Update schematic option from geographical annotation dialog due
to potential issues with incomplete and/or broken updates. Use "Update
Schematic from PCB" tool to update reference designation changes.
Forcing the footprint reference designator changes back to the schematic
without checking any other board changes in the schematic could leave the
schematic in a undefined state. The update schematic from board tool is
the correct method to sync any changes from the board.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8042
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.
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.
Action plugin authors can specify alternative icon path for dark theme.
If it's not specified then standard icon will be used for both light and
dark themes. If neither icon is specified then the default puzzle piece
icon is used.
Fixes#7984
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.
