ADDED: Option to assign unique reference designators to footprints
created with the array tool [pcbnew]
CHANGED: Array creator dialog no longer displays pad numbering properties
when in the board editor. [pcbnew]
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2354
Also hides the net selector when in the footprint editor as it has
no meaning there. (We still only grey it out for the board editor
when the pad type has no net to keep things from coming and going too
much.)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9317
Just wanting a SMD pad isn't enough -- the user may have already
set SMD settings into the master pad and changing the SizeX is
then very unexpected. Make sure the settings directly conflict
before making any "do what I mean" adjustments.
Also fixes the parent-footprint info when no parent exists.
Also gives a better title to the dialog when used to edit the masterPad
properties.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9427
The rebuildLayerStackPanel() reads from the current board to setup the
panel. We maintain the board swap until after the setup is completed
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9370
Also cleans up the dialog a bit.
Also changes the workings of NormalizePath to return the input if
it couldn't be shortened which saves open coding that behaviour in
all its callers.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9036
It is useful to be able to tell which layer you are selecting. The
checkboxes, on the other hand, provide no information when dealing with
a single layer selection
On Windows, FILENAME_RESOLVER::ValidateFileName() always returned a illegal filename test,
because the separators ('/' and '\') are in list of illegal chars in filenames on MSW.
Mac already uses diverse font sizes (for instance, smaller fonts for
radio button groups), and the anti-aliasing is a lot better. The
other platforms need a more limited range of sizes.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8608
It appears that both strategies in the last commit worked, leaving us
with squared scaling. The dialog pixel architecture seems safer than
our icon scaling stuff, so this version attempts to use only it.
Also works around a bug where wxELLIPSIZE_MIDDLE doesn't work on Mac.

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.

Seems to cause issues on Windows where the animation locks the screen.
Doesn't effect Linux, possibly because wxWidgets uses a native GTK
infobar that doesn't animate anyway.

The checkboxes for copper layers should probably also be removed
but leaving them for now since they direct the user to the right
place to disable copper layers.
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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8963
When pads having a similar name but some were not on a copper layer
(aperture pads) the net info update from old footprint to the new footprint
was incorrectly transferred. Now, only pads on copper layers are considered.

6.0 will be in the field for a long time, and the better the debugging
tools we have available the less costly it will be to maintain.

1) improve spacing in copper zone properties.
2) improve spacing and naming in dielectric material properties.
3) clearer naming in board setup > constraints.
4) remove over-exuberant stretching in board setup > mask & paste.
They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
This adds an icon to the left of the row with an error symbol if the
file can't be found or opened, and shows a tooltip over the icon with
and error string.

Note that the dialogs which have mutliple options were not moved over

Calling wxDialog::EndModal() directly from inside the dialog is a
potential bug if the dialog is shown in the modeless or window modal
(quasi-modal). Use the internal button events where possible and
check for the appropriate mode before calling the correct end dialog
function.
* Changed the net sorting mechanism make it similar to the 'Net Inspector' window
* Replaced the 'Show All Nets' check box with 'Hide auto-generated nets' check box
* Replace the warning label with wxInfoBar
* Removed unused controls and renamed controls where applicable
* Re-arranged the Copper Zone Properties dialog layout to improve user experience
* Minor code refactoring of DIALOG_COPPER_ZONE class

The algorithm relied on the assumption that the points were
ordered anti-clockwise. When ordered in a clockwise fashion, the
result was correct but negative.
Refer to https://www.mathopenref.com/coordpolygonarea2.html

It's tempting to say that we don't need to exclude filename chars
from symbols, but we might regret that decision down the road. Better
to just escape them.

Remove schematic from the completion message as it can no longer be
updated though the dialog.
Add a warning to synchronize the schematic with the annotation changes.
2x track width was too constraining in some scenarios
Also better wording "Min Spacing" to indicate to the user that
the actual spacing could be larger if there are any constraints.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8172
This allows us to avoid the monospaced font (along with the tab-stop
handling), and process a <return> as an OK rather than just <shift> +
<return>.

(The current one keeps pulling the Kicad Manager window to the front
on OSX.)
I also removed the UpdateUI stuff which was probably causing:
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5049
The max-char-width impl was buggy and never applied to PCBNew anyway.
Plus the stroke font has a max-char-width of 2.8 time the space width,
so it made for really wide tab spacing.
Also fixes a bug where the Scintilla editors weren't getting a
monospace font on Mac. (This bug may also exist on the other
platforms, but each would need its own fix.)
Also moves more of the Scintalla customizations to SCINTILLA_TRICKS
where they can be shared.

When exporting STEP model, warn the user if one of their footprints has
a non-unity scaled model as this compromises the integrity of the STEP
export.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1781
Makes model substitution (VRML->STEP in STEP Export) optional. This can
prevent nasty surprises where the user doesn't see/can't affect the
outcome
Also, when substituting models, do not maintain scale factor. So a VRML
model with non-unity scaling will not be export as a STEP file (of the
same name) with non-unity scaling. This is the first step to address
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/1781
This involved adding some extra infrastructure to be able
to handle the case where a track that is sitting in the
router's commit waiting to be added to the board actually
needs to be deleted instead.

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.
Depending of Window managers, some texts were truncated.
Also avoid to write a sentence with the beginning in one widget,
and the end in another widget: it makes the sentence not translatable
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
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
Keeping them in base_units means that we can't introduce
any dependence on these functions to anything that needs to
compile without one of the unit defines (EESCHEMA, PCBNEW, etc)
VIEW::GetBoundary() returns the entire view area, not the visible area.
Surprisingly, we had no API for this, so I added one.
Also, changed the dragger behavior to toggle between optimizing just the
modified area and optimizing the visible area, i.e. we will now never
optimize off-screen portions of the dragged track.
CHANGED: The interactive router settings now include a switch to
enable or disable optimization of the entire dragged track,
which is now disabled by default. When enabled, the router
will reroute the entire track (from the dragged segment to
the closest pad/via in each direction) to be more optimal.
When disabled, only the area around the dragged segment
will be modified.
CHANGED: The "optimizer effort" slider is removed from the interactive
router settings dialog, as this setting did not have any
meaningful impact in most cases and was a source of confusion.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5918
Instead of enabling/disabling the controls on every possible
UI event in these dialogs, only do it when the actual control
wants to know if it should change status.
This is under the supposition that we can't set the column widths
on some Mac instances because the host controls haven't yet been
created. This is primarily conjecture based on looking at things
that have the *possibility* of going wrong. Why this only happens
in some installs is beyond me.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5479
It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7739
For some reason, the footprint UUID was being prefixed to the sheet path
which caused the symbol look up by sheet path to fail. An option was
added to not do this when the geographical back annotation to the schematic
is performed.
If we keep doing design validations at two different places, they can
only start to drift apart. Board Setup should validate for malformed
data ONLY; everything else is the business of DRC.
This also fixes a bug where implementation validations would not allow
OK in the dialog, but wouldn't put up a message to say why. We now use
the InfoBar impl from Jon's commit for that.
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.
We auto-size them in the code and doing both produces nothing but a
mess.
Also improves the auto-sizing for the layers drop-down (particularly
needed for the new, somewhat longer, layer names.

Each symbol unit in eeschema has a unique identifier. But we don't have
a unique identifier for the entire symbol. So changing which symbol
instance was unit A (our default base for matching), changed the UUID
that we were using to match the footprints.
This commit adds all UUIDs to the netlist, allowing us to match symbol
to footprint without worrying about which unit is referenced.
This still does not handle changing different units on different sheets.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7604
This change is mainly due to the fact Modal dialogs do not work when our
current tool is the tool used to create new item (text, zone, graphic).
If when this tool is active, one try to edit the properties of the new item
being created (or being placed) the modal dialog does not capture the event tool
and hangs (cannot be dismissed)
Our quasi modal dialogs have their own event loop and work.
Fixes#7585https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7585
For some kinds of issues, we want a way to point them out but
we don't need to keep the user from being able to close the
dialog. A separate Validate button lets the user check for
issues if desired, but these issues are not "fatal" and can
be ignored if the user wishes.
Keep Through Hole pads on external layers should be ON by default, because
such a pad does not allow soldering/unsoldering, if this option this option is OFF
Also rename dialog_enum_pads.fbp as dialog_enum_pads_base.fbp, as usual
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
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
CHANGED footprint positions files -> component placement files.
Not all footprints get placed, so component is a more neutral word.
Use of "placement" instead of "positions" removes the double-plural
that makes footprint positions files such a mouth-full.

Also removes the "tip" icon which doesn't work on OSX and isn't as
important as the graphics which actually convey information. Replaced

including wx.h is useless for this file, and include wx.h in a lot of other files.

ADDED a new pin electrical type "free" for internally unconnected pins.
CHANGED the "unconnected" pin electrical type is now represented by
"no_connect" in files and netlists. (The legacy syntax is also accepted
in files.)
It's no longer used for dimensions so doesn't need the line thickness
controls.
The spacing was a bit wonky.
Changed to disabling rather than hiding visibility checkbox. The less
the GUI moves around the better.
Before this, "Searching..." prompt will not go away if nothing was found
in a search session. A bug I noticed while working on !611. After this
fix, "foo not found" will be displayed when Pcbnew cannot find the
given text.
(Surprisingly we used to in 5.1, so this is a regression.)
Also had to go back to the nag dialog as on a small screen the infobar
comes up behind the dialog. A lot of the errors have also been turned
into warnings, so the overall effect should still be to reduce nagging.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6992
These dialogs don't have growable features but do have conditional
features, so the size is better adjusted automatically by the code
then by the user.
- The default value is 0.01 mm (according to comments and similar to the 3D viewer
settings that uses 0.02 mm)
- The export dialog has now 3 values 1 micron, 0.01mm (default) and 0.1 mm
The 0.1 micron option is removed: it makes no sense for a mechanical tolerance.
Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
When editing a new footprint from the board editor, if the Footprint editor has the pad editor

Also don't load the footprints up front. The whole purpose of the
footprint-info stuff is to have enough info about the footprints to

This attempts to fix performance when importing large changesets from schematics.
The appearance control is a BOARD_LISTENER that would otherwise redraw per item imported which may cause lockups

So the new steals-focus protection stuff works well when there's a
focused control, but not as well when there's a modal dialog up which
happens not to have a focused control (or worse, a focusable control).
This adds a second mechanism for also checking to see if a modal dialog
is up (something that wxWidgets, true to form, makes very difficult).
