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

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.
First issue: the C++ action plugins list should be cleared so that any
plugins that fail to reload do not hang around on the toolbar.
This is fixed on the C++ side.
Second issue: inner dependencies of plugins that are modules were not
reloaded before, which broke reloading for many plugin examples out there.
This is fixed on the Python side by keeping track of dependencies and
clearing them out before reloading a module (unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be a way to do this in the standard library)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7245
You had to set the line width in the SVG export dialog in order to
change the displayed line width in the 3d viewer. The line width did
not affect the SVG export. Removing in favor of the Board design
settings for line widths
The conditions prevent use in immediate mode for common actions. While
this makes enable/disable easier in menu items, this fix is a patch
until we refactor the action framework to distinguish between immediate
mode hotkeys that should start without selections and menu items that
need a selection before running.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5333
New strategy isolates all draw/don't draw decisions to the ViewGetLOD
routines, and all dimmed/not dimmed to PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::GetColor.
The actual drawing in PCB_PAINTER is more-or-less conditon free.
Also adds new layers for pad and via hole walls so that they can be
controlled for high-contrast mode.
Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
not on the high contrast layer, just in low contrast. The hole wall
is drawn in high contrast. This actually makes things clearer to the
user (although to be honest was done to keep from having to re-render
pads when the high contrast layer changes since we have two separate
layers now that we can adjut colours on).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7328
In theory, the WM should now choose the closest size icon for its
purpose, making it easier to distinguish in space-constrained settings
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6798
When pcbnew is built with python support, the env vars defined inside Kicad
(and used mainly in paths) are rewritten for the python environment.
Unfortunately, the values are rewritten as UTF8 string, but in Kicad they are
just expected in utf32 unicode values.
This is now fixed by rewriting the initial values in Kicad env, after the
python environment is initialized.
The performance of live resizing isn't great. Windows can send mouse moves at 1000 Hz which is faster than the complex appearance panel + canvas can paint properly.
The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
Correctly hide netnames in high contrast mode
Correct highlighting for blind/buried/micro via drills
Repaint vias when needed to support stacked microvias
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2593
Two main changes: netclass values need to go through the DRC engine
so they can interact with other rules. They're also now dependent
on the layer being routed as well as the start object.
Also make the controls adjust to each other better. For instance,
copy-track-width needs to turn off when you select a particular
track width, and a particular track width needs to zero out when
you choose copy-track-width.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5951
This will always show 1 unit from each system, with the primary unit
being the current frame unit and the secondary unit being the
most recent unit used from the other system. These are saved in
the settings, so they are saved between runs.
ADDED memberOf() function for DRC rule expressions.
Also fixes a bug in several of the pickers where the event wasn't
being correctly passed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5647
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
OnBoardChanged must run after LoadProjectSettings.
Move the local overrides to PCB_EDIT_FRAME::onBoardLoaded
so that they are run after the panel is initialized.
This may affect other EDA_DRAW_FRAME objects as well but it doesn't seem
to be as noticeable in the symbol, footprint, and worksheet editors.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5248
The variables in the common settings struct are only updated on
save, so Python must use the ones from Pgm to get its values.
This does lead to the observation that Python's changes to the
variables do affect KiCad (they can break resolvers). So apparently
it can mess with us but we can't mess with it easily.
Also, improve the environment variable tracing infrastructure to capture
more changes.
Before this, the environment variables inside Python wouldn't reflect
the updates to them made after the interpreter was started in Pcbnew.
This will call into Python and set the variables when they are changed,
since Python can't synchronize itself when running in an embedded
interpreter.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5071
This isn't truely correct, because it is pointing to the
main KiCad path, but it is more correct than pointing to
the system path. This should really be pointing to the
user path
(see https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5115)
This is particularly important to keep the user from having to
enter overly verbose statements such as:
A.Type == 'via' && A.Via_Type == 'buried'
when:
A.Via_Type == 'buried'
is perfectly clear.

Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.

* Transition cvpcb to use actions for the sketch modes
* Replumb how magnetic items settings are stored and used
* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time

Migrate COLOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to remove fpedit section
Migrate FOOTPRINT_EDITOR_SETTINGS 0->1 to use new theme if created
Remove COLOR_CONTEXT that is no longer needed
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
Now only reposition a window if it is completely on a
disconnected display or if only one corner is on screen
and it is within a region close to the screen border.
CHANGED: Window position on startup should be preserved more
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
By making it quasimodal, it allows the main KiCad window and Eeschema
to be used still, if it were just modal then it blocks out all other
windows.

Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special

The pointer passing for display options is deprecated. This removes the
excess casting as the EDA_FRAME didn't need the base call with no value.
All requests for display options are now returned const and are updated
with a Set() routine after modification.
In Gerbview, this resolves an issue where the display options were not
stored because it was receiving the NULL from EDA_FRAME.
* Make the events generated by the selection of context menu items
