CHANGED: When doing cross-probe zooming, KiCad zooms the selected
component to fill the screen. This makes it hard to understand the
part in context so users would have to always zoom out manually. This
commit uses the default text height in Eeschema and Pcbnew as a
constant to compare the height of selected parts or components against.
This lets the code determine how big the part is and scale the zoom
wider accordingly. Big parts get less scaling and small part get more.
NOTE: There is a little bit of debug code present. There are #ifdefs
to let developers easily swap in the original KiCad zoom for comparison.
There is also a bool added that can force each program to always perform
the new calculated zoom since KiCad ignores zooms that are close to the
current value. This debug code can be removed later as desired.
CHANGED: Remove wire and bus formatting GUI elements from "Schematic
Setup" dialog panel. Wire thickness is handled by netclasses now
and this was a leftover from before that change.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5815
CHANGED: If you start the interactive delete tool and the mouse pointer
isn't near anything, Eeschema tries to use a null EDA_ITEM pointer
which throws an exception. This commit checks if the pointer is null
and exits if it is.
in most of files, including wx.h is not necessary, when only 2 or 3 wx files must be included.
Moreover, on windows, including wx.h sometimes create compil warnings about
shadowed vars defined in some specific windows headers.
CHANGED: When the "Show Details" button on the "Project Load Warning"
dialog is clicked, it reveals text that has odd formatting of when
lines split. This commit fixes the text for the dialogs that warn
that schematics will be saved in the new file format, and that Symbol
Libraries defined in the project file symbol library list are no longer
supported.
Fix compile error
Fix string format to use %ld instead to work on clang in CADSTAR Archive importers
Add virtual destructor to CONNECTION in CADSTAR_ARCHIVE_PARSER
Fixed missing tokens that weren't parsed before:
- Danglers (in NET_SCH)
- Pin numbers (in SYMBOL)
- HidePinNames in both PART and PART::DEFINITION, defaulting it to false
plotter.h contains now only a header common to all plotters.
The code does not actually change, but it allows modifying a specific plotter
without recompiling most of kicad files.
CHANGED: GetDocumentExtents() in 'eda_draw_frame.h' now has a bool
parameter "aIncludeAllVisible" with a default value "true" which makes
it behave as it did before adding parameter. If "aIncludeAllVisible"
is false, the returned bbox ignores some items depending on which
program it is running in.
CHANGED: Made "Zoom to Objects" use only PCB edge in Pcbnew. This
allows text, notes, etc outside the PCB edge to be excluded in the
zoom calculation.
CHANGED: Added "Zoom to Objects" to Pcbnew main menu, and to RMB context
menus for Eeschema and Pcbnew.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5787
CHANGED: SCH_VIEW::GetItemsExtents() returns a bbox of all visible items
but ignores the page and border. It was taking invisible strings into
account when calculating the bbox, and now it doesn't. Makes "Fit to
Objects" work correctly with all components that have hidden text.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5726
CHANGED: Pin position is now incremented properly in the Pin Table
dialog. The Pin position is ussing Internal Units insted of mils, so
the hardcoded 50/100 mils spacing has to be converted to IU before
adding.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5730
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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1988
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.
CHANGED: When moving a footprint, Eeschema was always warping the mouse
when moving an item 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 schematic items.
NOTE: Issue 5279 originally only mentioned Pcbnew, but after the fix
for Pcbnew was submitted, a user pointed out it also happened in
Eeschema. Becuase of this, there are two MRs that "fix" the same issue.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5279
CHANGED: The margin used in 'Zoom to Fit' is now 2% instead of 10%.
ADDED: Added 'Zoom to Objects' to Eeschema which does not include
the page and border in the bbox calculations.
CHANGED: Removed pre-existing code that tweaked the center to account
for the scrollbars. It actually made the view off center. Removing it
results in perfectly centered zooms.

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 separates the two options (drag/move) into different actions. Drag
will drag all graphical lines connected. Move will disconnect the
graphical lines when moving.
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.
1) use SCH_COMPONENT::GetRef(), GetValue() and GetFootprint() when
instance-specific info is needed
2) update UpdateAllScreenReferences() to handle value and footprint.
3) BACKANNO is CvPcb's handler, not back annotation's handler. Which
means it needs GUI behaviour, not back annotation behaviour.

There was a regression in v6 where the zoom to selection toolbar
item wasn't canceling the tool when pressed and the tool was active

Using wxFileName::GetPath( wxPATH_WITH_SEPARATOR ) does not include the

Eeschema was the only application showing the file path. This is of
limited use and prevented other information from showing in the
shortened menubar display. Also combined strings for better translation
GitLab issue #5068 only affected the 5.1 branch. The same issue could
also affect master if for some reason a context switch occurs due to
changes. Moving the auto save feature before setting the current screen
to null should mitigate any potential future issues.
A subsheet may have more than one instance of a hier label,
but it's generally a mistake if there is no matching hier label
for a port on the parent sheet.
This is harder to do today now that we don't have manual tool
for placing hier ports, but it's still possible if you place
ports but then rename the label on the subsheet.

Display warning infobar in the board/schematic setup when no project

Short net names are not unique; full names with paths must be used.
Added a grid cell renderer that does the escaping, to make it easier
to display net names in grid cells.
Once you unescape a net name, you can't go back to the escaped form
because you can't assume which `/` should be {slash} and which `/`
Because of this, we cannot use Unescape/Escape on the data model in
the netclass setup panel, and instead do the Unescape in the view.

when the taskbar indicator is used (causes an uused variable warning
on wx<3.1)
* Remove unused dry run variable in pcb_netlist.h
* Remove unused forceDropAnnotations from the paste special dialog
since the dialog only controls keeping them.
CHANGED: When the output path is set in the plotter dialog, the user is
asked if they want to make the path relative to the project. The old
code would ask the user if they wanted to do this, and then if it
failed would present an error dialog. The new code tries it first on
a copy, and only if it works does the user get asked if they want
to do it.

The use of printf, wxLogDebug, and std::err/std::out causes excessive
debugging output which makes finding specific debugging messages more
difficult than it needs to be.
There is still some debugging output in test code that really needs to
be moved into a unit test.
Add debugging output section to the coding policy regarding debugging
output.
* Frames moved: cvpcb, cvpcb footprints frame, gerbview, pagelayout editor
This also introduces new EDITOR_CONDITIONS that are used to set the
conditions of very common editor settings.
Also, some IDs were converted to tools in the pagelayout editor.
This allows for the tool framework to keep track of a universal
set of conditions for the UI state (enabled/checked/shown) for
controls of actions. It removes the need for the main menubar
menus to be CONDITIONAL_MENUs and be rebuilt on each open,
and instead makes the updates of the check and enabling of
items handled in the native wxWidgets way.
This commit switchs the 3d viewer and kicad project manager window
over to this system.
EDA_ITEM is a child of VIEW_ITEM, so a static_cast is not appropriate,
since in some cases it could be called with a non-EDA_ITEM argument.
This was triggering an ASAN heap-buffer-overflow in GerbView.
Cross-probing from Pcbnew to Eeschema revealed that EEschema was
including all fields, visible or not, when calculating the bounding
box of the probed componentt. This caused problems with long strings
such as URLs that were not set as visible. The cross-probing code
tries to minimize 'Zoom to Fit' operations when it's not necessary,
and the overly large bbox values often resulted in zooms not being
performed and components displayed very small.
This code adds a version of 'GetBoundingBox' that takes a boolean
to tell it to include invisble fields or not.

This ensures the colors used by the status text pane in the preview
widget are the same as the canvas, so there is a seemless transition
between the two.
Additionally, remove the scrollbars from the symbol preview widget
in the place symbol dialog - they are pointless.
This is the proper fix for the symbole preview widget. It will ensure
there are no size changes between the two panels (preview and status),

ADDED: Progress indicator in the taskbar
This adds a progress indicator to the Windows and macOS taskbar
icons to display the progress of some operations.

PROJECT objects will be deleted by SETTINGS_MANAGER::UnloadProject
so we need to make sure that this is called at an early enough point
in the closing process that anything needed by the PROJECT dtor

Also fix an issue where the schematic worksheet was depending on
the project existing after the schematic had been reset.
By default KiCad will now print each polygon point on its own line.
This adds to the vertical distance for large polygons but makes revision
control much cleaner as single point addition to a polygon does not
propagate to a diff over the full polygon.
Users/developers who want to save the files using the 4-points per line
have the ADVANCED_CONFIG setting 'CompactSave' which will provide the
original save method
This way, when the user changes their color theme, any sheets
that did not have a specific color set will change with the theme.
Also add a button to clear color overrides from a sheet, because
any schematics that have been saved before this change will have
the colors set to something other than UNSPECIFIED.

Str2Double assumes current locale. We usually switch the locale when
reading files but we should be using the function that explicitly gets
the C-locale conversion.
We used to have to open a PCB_EDIT_FRAME to get the settings for
the footprint editor and footprint viewer. This necessitated some
special processing when opening a PCB_EDIT_FRAME to actually edit

footprint viewer to init themselves we no longer need the special-
case code.

A note to developers, please do not set the minimum and/or size of bitmap
buttons. It causes bitmaps to get clipped using GTK on Linux. If the
bitmap button size is not acceptable, then supply an appropriately sized
bitmap rather than attempt to force the wxWidgets sizing mechanism to do
what you want. This almost always causes platform differences that do
not work well.
This provides a method to add symbols that represent footprints on the
board that do not have an associate component such as mounting holes,
fiducials, logos, etc that should be excluded from the bill of materials.
It also prevents those footprints from being removed from the board
accidentally when updating the board from the schematic.
ADDED: Support to exclude schematic symbols from bill of materials
export.
CHANGED: Derived library symbols will inherit optional fields defined by
their parent symbol and override existing optional fields.
CHANGED: The symbol editor will now only display the fields defined in
derived symbols rather than show mandatory fields inherited from the
parent symbol. Showing fields that cannot be edited would be confusing.
CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited. This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.
Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years. The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.
In order allow the new file format to support derived symbols with
field properties that are different than the parent symbol, the code
that copied the parent field properties to the derive symbol field
properties had to moved out of LIB_PART::SetParent() into the legacy
symbol library plugin and the symbol library editor add new symbol
code to preserve the current behavior and not overwrite derived
symbol field properties.
This lays the ground work for allowing field properties of derived
symbols to be different than their parent symbol.
CHANGED: The symbol library save menu entry is now only enable when the

Apparently at some point in our development history, we allowed aliases
to be saved in the cache library. The rescue code was only looking for
root symbols in the cache library which caused missing symbol rescues.
Flattening the symbols ensures the rescue library will have a unique

when rescuing from the symbol library table.

In order to avoid confusion when loading legacy schematics, updating time
stamp UUIDs is no longer performed. If users where not experiencing issues
with time stamp clashes with shared schematics then this was probably a
case of me being overly cautious.
The original conversion code has be moved to
SCH_EDIT_FRAME::ConvertTimeStampUuids() so the working functionality is
not lost. This function should not be used until a way is found to update
the board from the schematics with the appropriate settings.
Move updating the pin maps from external code to the SCH_COMPONENT object
when changing the symbol body style (DeMorgan). This is a vein attempt
to make the SCH_COMPONENT object self contained so we don't have to depend
on the caller needing to figure out how to keep internal objects synced.
SCH_SCREEN::UpdateSymbolLinks() should only be called when working with
the legacy schematic file format. Add schematic symbol library symbol
links should be set using SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol() which updates
the symbol link and pin map accordingly.
Change the schematic symbol LIB_ID edit dialog to properly use the new
SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol() function.
Use flattened (root) library symbols to prevent broken library symbols
in schematic files.
Remove the edited symbol from screen before making changes to the symbol
to prevent potential orphaned symbol libraries being saved in schematic
file.
Add some defensive programming to let developers know that an invalid
library symbol link was used when calling SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol().
Removed some rogue calls to SCH_SCREEN::UpdateSymbolLinks() which should
only be called the last time the schematic is loaded from the legacy file
format. After that, all symbol library links should be changed using
SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol() which will prevent the pin maps from ending
up with broken symbol library pin links.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4318
There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
Some items (tracks and footprint graphic items) when reading were added in reverse order
of the initial file, creating useless differences and breaking source comparisons.
Also fixes a bug where a bunch of eeschema settings weren't getting
loaded because it looked like they were larger than the max value
(which wasn't being scaled from mils to internal units).
