Pcbnew: Code cleaning and bug fix in autoplace functions
Dialog exchange footprints has now a separate button to update the .cmp file, only on request.
* Replace all occurrences of the word "part" with "unit" when referring to
multiple unit components for improved consistency.
* Replace "shared by" with "common to" when referring to objects (lines, arcs,
pins, etc.) that are common to all units.
* Improve wording in library component properties dialog.
Eagle plugin: filter and replace not allowed chars in FPID(-':' and '/') by _ or -, if they are used in Eagle footprint names (otherwise, boards converted and saved under kicad_pcb format are not readable by Pcbnew).
* Fix replace bug to handle case sensitivity properly.
* Fix replace bug where the item index was getting updated incorrectly.
* Fix replace infinite loop bug on replace all.
* Make find/replace view update code a separate function.
* Rearrange find/replace trace string to add tracing to EDA_ITEM::Replace().
* Add IsComplexHierarchy method to SCH_SHEET_LIST for future find/replace
improvements.
* Create a generic yes/no/cancel dialog from DIALOG_EXIT.
* Make DIALOG_EXIT return wxID_YES instead of wxID_OK so it is consistent
with the standard message dialogs.
* Add missing license to confirm.h and confirm.cpp.
* Change Eeschema message dialog when loading a schematic if the current
schematic is modified to be more consistent with the exit dialog.
* Change Pcbnew message dialog when loading a board if the current board
is modified to be more consistent with the exit dialog.
* Remove some Eeschema block debug logging code left over from my last
commit.
* Merge HandleBlockEnd() and HandleBlockEndByPopUp() into as single block
end function HandleBlockEnd().
* Replace all instances of HandleBlockEndByPopUp() with HandleBlockEnd().
* Change block hot keys to send command events instead of directly calling
end block handler.
Remove KICAD_GOST option because it is now useless: the 2 GOST options are now selectable at run time and are:
* specific page layouts (now user definable, and the GOST page layouts are available in template folder)
* notation for multiple parts per package (made in eeschema, preference menu)
Enhancement in Excellon file reader: accept Feed Rate and Spindle Speed definitions in Tool information line (but does not use them)
Eeschema: better name for m_SheetList (changed to m_SheetPath) member of class NETLIST_OBJECT.
Fix an annoying issue about not named nets:
now, these nets are named from the component references and pin names which are connected.
therefore, unless the net or the footprint references are modified, the net name is not modified between 2 netlist calculations.
Pcbnew: better test for allowed layers when creating/editing Dimensions and some other Graphic items
Drc: fix comments and messages for some drc tests.
To do: fix issues in active layer selection when creating a track and layer pair selection dialog
* Use a regular expression to enforce more stringent bus label testing.
* Add validator to edit label dialog to prevent space character from being
used in labels.
dialogs which allow editing of component properties. The button
is active when the table row cursor is on the DATASHEET field only.
When active, and your datasheet is a URI, then your default
browser will be launced to show that datasheet if it can find it.
This incentivizes use of http:// links for datasheets.
was simply a pointer to an object on the display list. At times this object
would disappear from the display list, in the test case because of a concatonation
of two wires, and if you then tried to clone the non-existent object you'd get a
crash. This was not merely a bug, but a naive design choice. IMO.
Now the item to repeat is cloned, so will never also be on the display list.
*) add hotkey for setting the grid origin as 'S', in board editor, module editor.
*) re-position the function interface for cursor movement from BASE_SCREEN into
class EDA_DRAW_FRAME. This is a prelude to getting rid of BASE_SCREEN or
splitting it up.
* Force search when wrap past end of list option changes state.
* Fix SCH_FIELD::Matches() for bug in user defined fields which have an ID
of -1.
* Minor improvements to the find data names to improve source code readability.
sometimes, the modified flag was set for these components just when switching from a sheet to an other sheet.
Pcbnew: fix Bug #1197414 (dragged track segments does not show clearance area)
