Building the vertical walls around shapes to show layer tickness is very
time consuming. It can be disabled for copper layers but was always enabled
for other layers.
Now layer thickness is enabled or disabled for all layers.
inside the EDA_3D_CANVAS, it was initialized before settings are read,
and can be set to raytracing, although we always start 3D viewer in opengl mode,
thus creating a incorrect (not working) initialization.
The zoom level was being incorrectly calculated. When zooming in on a
PCB, the zoom function can become disabled if you get too close. At
which point you need to use the mouse wheel to zoom back out.
ADDED: with cmake KICAD_MACOSX_APP_BUNDLE option the user can disable
the macOS app bundle creation when compiling on macOS. This permit to
use/install KiCad like any other *nix platform (/usr/bin, /usr/share,
ecc.). By default, cmake build the app bundle.
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.
Full support for using a 3Dconnexion device in the 3D viewer has been added. Full 3D navigation is available for both the orthographic and perspective projections. 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.
ADDED: A build option KICAD_USE_3DCONNEXION (default = ON) has been added to the main CMakeLists.txt. The option controls whether the SpaceMouse support is compiled into the solution.
Instead of the mouse pan and drag algorithms calculating the new
position or rotation values relative to a starting value, the new values
are calculated relative to the current values. This allows the user to
use a second input device to move or rotate the view at the same time
without its change being undone by the mouse.
The CAMERA_FRUSTUM structure values for nw, nh, fw and fh to always mean width and height for both perspective and orthographic views instead of half-width and half-height in perspective.
The orthographic / perspective view toggle has been modified to keep the viewed plane at m_camera_pos_init * m_zoom the same dimensions in both projections.
Also fixes a bug where outline fonts weren't being handled for footprint
text in 3D Viewer, and a copy/paste error in stroke font handling for
both PCB and footprint text in 3D Viewer.
