This changes the file format. All previous copper layers that had a user
defined name are forced back to the canonical name and the user defined
name is stored as an optional quoted string in the layer definition and
only used for UI and plotting purposes. All copper object layer names
are now the canonical name for internal file use.
ADDED: Nine new user definable non-copper layers that can be optionally
added to the board layer stack.
CHANGED: All board layers can now be renamed by the user.
CHANGED: User defined layer names can now contain space characters.

Note: this is a fairly basic API, you can't retrieve
individual DRC items. This is intended to be a hold-over
until we write the new Python API that can expose full
functionality (since we do not want to wrap the entire
DRC system with SWIG)
ADDED: Make middle mouse button double click do a 'Zoom to Fit'
in Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Gerbview. Ctrl-MMB does a 'Zoom to Objects'
in Eeschema.

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.
1) better load-balancing for deferred zones
2) sort zones by priority before filling
3) retire BOARD::GetZoneList() which had a horrible performance profile
4) implement a zone bounding box cache
5) better checks for IsCancelled() so long fills can be exited
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5738
ViewGetLOD() returns the minimal value of a zoom to show an item.
However a zoom is a double, and using int as minimal value does not
allows setting a correct value in some cases.
If the zone fill failed, then don't add the zone to the
exported VRML because it might not be correct.
Also test that the Python command in DIALOG_SCRIPTING worked.
This dialog actually isn't used anywhere currently, so it
could in theory be removed - but it is simple enough and
it provides a decent testing dialog that it is more work to remove
it.
These settings objects could be created in a constructor/destructor
so we should catch the exception since those are noexcept.
Also change the settings trace to match the other kicad traces
as KICAD_SETTINGS
The first attempt to address this which added back in the zones
with a 0 netcode didn't pick up those with a netcode which weren't
isolated (ie: because there were unplaced footprints outside the
board edges).
The new system gives up on trying to adjust the insulated island
list and just makes a second pass.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5658
Also improves the SNR and consistency of the menu item text. For
instance, a position is rarely useful, while relative sizes can be.
Also removes some unnecessary repitition, such as "Graphic Rectangle"
when "Rectangle" communicates the necessary information.
DIMENSION is now an abstract class and we should cast to
concrete implementations instead.
Also change broken 'return none' to throwing an exception
which will give feedback about what is not supported by
the API instead of silently returning a non-object.
Also fixes a bunch of naming issues, primarily with lowercase for
protected variables, but also some for consistency with other parts
of the code.
Also changes the zone fill radio buttons in Board Setup to be more
generic referring to legacy vs. current, and to have tooltips.

CHANGED: When moving a footprint, Pcbnew was always warping the mouse
to the origin of the moved object regardless of the state of the "Warp
mouse to origin of moved object" checkbox. This MR now honors the
state of the checkbox when moving footprints.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5279
Initialize Python scripting even if this directory cannot be created
It is not a mandatory dir, and not initializing python scripting can create crashes.
Fixes#5667https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5667
CHANGED: 'GetBoundingBox' has a variant that accepts a boolean that
determines if invisible text is included in the Bbox calculations. The
'IsVisible' function for the value and reference strings doesn't
factor in if the layer it's on is visible or even in the PCB stackup,
so 'GetBoundingBox' returns a bbox that factors in invisible text
regardless of what it's passed. This MR fixes that problem.
CHANGED: Refactored the original 'GetBoundingBox' function that doesn't
take a parameter. It now just calls the variant that does take a
parameter and passes it 'true'. The two versions had a lot of
duplicate code and this eliminates it.
Note: Issue 5629 might be better solved at the PCB module level, but this
does fix the known problems caused by it which were discovered in
'GetBoundingBox'.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5629
Right now we can't track the intended item to deselect
when there's an active selection already.
Having this feature available just from the appearance panel
should be fine.
This removes the threading from the SWIG interface (it was supposed to
be off by default) and adds support for Python3 bindings when supported
by the system
The snap obeys only the Ctrl key and not the global preference setting
for drawsegments because rectangles are _always_ on H/V lines when drawn
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5607
Improves implicit rule reporting.
Makes some internal names more consistent.
Moves DRC_REPORT to the test framework.
Removes priority (which isn't supported in the grammar)
Also processes constraints in correct order for priority (reversed)
and removes multiple-expression-conditions for a single constraint
(which is not supported in the grammar).
The snap range needs tuning to preference and monitor resolution. This
shifts the default range down for users until the customization bits are
implemented.
This is a board file format change to account for the new properties.
Also, we now only store the critical information about the dimension's
geometry in the board, rather than storing every drawn line.
The DIMENSION object is now an abstract base, and ALIGNED_DIMENSION
is the implementation that exists today (we will add more dimension
types in the future)
1) For a while now we've been using a calculated seg count from a given
maxError, and a correction factor to push the radius out so that all
the error is outside the arc/circle. However, the second calculation
(which pre-dates the first) is pretty much just the inverse of the first
(and yields nothing more than maxError back). This is particularly
sub-optimal given the cost of trig functions.
2) There are a lot of old optimizations to reduce segcounts in certain
situations, someting that our error-based calculation compensates for
anyway. (Smaller radii need fewer segments to meet the maxError
condition.) But perhaps more importantly we now surface maxError in the
UI and we don't really want to call it "Max deviation except when it's
not".
3) We were also clamping the segCount twice: once in the calculation
routine and once in most of it's callers. Furthermore, the caller
clamping was inconsistent (both in being done and in the clamping
value). We now clamp only in the calculation routine.
4) There's no reason to use the correction factors in the 3Dviewer;
it's just a visualization and whether the polygonization error is
inside or outside the shape isn't really material.
5) The arc-correction-disabling stuff (used for solder mask layer) was
somewhat fragile in that it depended on the caller to turn it back on
afterwards. It's now only exposed as a RAII object which automatically
cleans up when it goes out of scope.
6) There were also bugs in a couple of the polygonization routines where
we'd accumulate round-off error in adding up the segments and end up with
an overly long last segment (which of course would voilate the error
max). This was the cause of the linked bug and also some issues with vias
that we had fudged in the past with extra clearance.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5567
You can now enable and disable snap to grid when drawing/editing across
all apps. You can also tie snap to grid to the visibility of the grid
to allow rapid enable/disable via grid display.
Since the commit e8b11c911e, the menu tools->external plugins is empty.
This is because on new system, an added submenu is cloned when added. So any update on the object
after Add it as no effect. The menu stay empty.
With this commit the menu filling is made before adding submenu.
Change error displayed when a Library .cpa file is opened (instead of a Layout file)
Add warning if variants exist in original design.
Parse LAYERHEIGHT in LAYER (same thing a MAKE but without the MATERIAL_ID)
Parse PADEXCEPTION in COMPONENT
Add DESIGN as one of the valid UNITS
Loading speed fixed by changing the way CADSTAR_ARCHIVE_PARSER::InsertAttributeAtEnd works (we now have a new attribute in each node to keep track of how many attributes there are). Now loads a 30,000 line file in 10seconds instead of 25 minutes!
code refactoring:
- Renamed CADSTAR_COMMON to CADSTAR_ARCHIVE_COMMON
- Renamed CPA_FILE to CADSTAR_PCB_ARCHIVE_PARSER
- Made CADSTAR_PCB_ARCHIVE_PARSER a derived class of CADSTAR_ARCHIVE_COMMON
- Moved all structures in cadstar_pcb_archive_parser.h/.cpp to be defined inside CADSTAR_PCB_ARCHIVE_PARSER class
On wxWidgets 3.0.5, in some cases calling ReCreateParameterList() generates
a EVT_GRID_CMD_CELL_CHANGED that call ParametersUpdated() and creating
an infinite loop
Note also it happens **only for languages using a comma** instead of a point
for floating point separator
It does not happen on wxWidgets 3.1.4
In 3D settings panels, due to a bug in wxWidgets 3.1.4, the checkboxes
controlling the 3D model visibility were not correctly put at the right Y position
My only guess is the old code predated the introduction of
GetLayerSet(). In any case it was long-winded and still didn't
catch the case of being on copper layers other than front or back
(which might be hidden).
