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)
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
For instance, we get things like high-contrast-mode from the pad
dialog when rendering a pad preview, but we want the colours from the
parent PCB_BASE_FRAME.
This commit applies display origin transforms to all Pcbnew
dialog classes that use UNIT_BINDER for their formatting:
* DIALOG_CREATE_ARRAY
* DIALOG_FOOTPRINT_BOARD_EDITOR
* DIALOG_GRAPHIC_ITEM_PROPERTIES
* DIALOG_GRID_SETTINGS
* DIALOG_MOVE_EXACT
* DIALOG_PAD_PROPERTIES
* DIALOG_POSITION_RELATIVE
* DIALOG_TEXT_PROPERTIES
* DIALOG_TRACK_VIA_PROPERTIES
This commit adds support for the Display Origin Transforms preferences
selection panel. This panel allows the user to select the desired
coordinate origin, and the direction in which the axes increase.
Display warning infobar in the board/schematic setup when no project
is loaded, since most of the settings in those dialogs are saved in
the project and not in the board/schematic file.

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.

Added the wxExpand flag to all wxStatic Text widgets to prevent
text from being wrapped awkwardly under Linux (and possibly other
operating systems).
Made sure all sentences ended with a period.
Corrected some spelling mistakes.
Simplified tooltips to read and display better.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/5168
~Also in this commit:
~Rephrased main warning note at top to emphasize get clearance
~settings from your board house.
~Moved two notes at top into tooltips for entry fields
~Removed note that solder mask and paste only apply to copper pads.
This introduces layer handling to a lot of the geometry routines.
Many of them don't do much with it now, but it does help multi-layer
zones and will help when padstacks are implemented.
Had to get rid of the regex as Search actually changes the user's
selection, which is not what we want. (It wasn't earlier because
the search would always fail due to the typo.)
It's much faster now that we're not scanning from the beginning every
time.
This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1835
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.
Note, this requires wxWidgets 3.1+
When importing settings from a board with more copper layers and applying it
to a board with less copper layers, if the user has ticked the checkbox
"Layer settings", then KiCad will delete the inner copper layers. Only
when the user clicks OK does it then warn that it found deleted items on inner
layers. The message is too generic and comes after the layers have already
been deleted.
This Merge Request tries to address this by warning them early. The changes are:
1 - Added code to check if user is trying to import settings from a
board with less copper layers than the current loaded board. This
results in KiCad deleting inner copper layers. Now it presents a
warning dialog that explains the current settings will result in deleted
inner layers, and lets the user stop the import process before making any changes.
2 - Made "Import Settings" dialog disable "Import Settings" button
until at least one import option checkbox is checked.
3 - Made "Select All" button on "Import Settings" dialog toggle
between "Select All" and "Deselect All" on each click.
Items 2&3 were added to improve the overall import settings usability
experience.

There are cases where you will want to keep vias that only connect to
one layer but still want to cleanup tracks. As distinct entities, they
are given their own checkboxes and actions

1) don't add 10 -and- include 'M's in the strings; they're both for
margins
2) take scroll bar width into account when sizing columns
3) make sure margins are added to temp variables that we're going to
use to size column 1

Due to the fact basic primitives for custom pads are now managed by
a list of pointer, the default copy ctor and default operator = do not work
(the basic primitives list must be duplicated).
It fixes issues related to primitives list id pad edition, footprint edition
and undo/redo

ADDED Eeschema-specific netclass settings including wire and bus
thickness, color, and line style.
Netclasses override individual wire & bus colors and line styles.
If that proves an issue we might look at something more sophisticated
with inheritance.

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

ADDED new rectangle graphics tool for PCBNew and Footprint Editor.
Also adds rectangle tool to both Footprint Editor and PCBNew Place
menus.
The Aux Origin tool can come back once we have multi-select toobar
buttons.
Also collapses an unnecessary level out of the auxOrigin and gridOrigin
settings.

Remove extraneous use of FLAG0 from tracks cleaner (it was checked but
never set).
Fix issue in expand connections where two parts of it couldn't agree
on the same flag (BUSY vs SKIP_STRUCT), and where the second part was
clearing the flag instead of setting it.
Remove obsolete HIGHLIGHT infrastructure (we now use selection).
Remove extraneous use of BUSY flag in several places (it was never
set).
There were a lot of plotters, exporters, etc. that were rolling their
own implementations.
This also introduces a lazily-built set of SHAPE objects for doing
collision detection and some forms of rendering (and later DRC).
BuildConnectivity updates the ratsnest after it completes. By compiling
the ratsnest before connectivity, we update it twice with the dirty flag
being reset after connectivity updates.
It's currently only supported in the Footprint Editor. It could be
easily added to the board editor (all the code is there), but the board
editor is a little short on room in the drawing tools toolbar.
- fix many wxWidgets alerts.
- ensure pad offset wxTextCtrs are shown or not according to the wxCheckBox state.
- ensure there is room in dialog for some wxTextCtr when switched from Hide to Show
(resize it if it is too small)
This was due to use of a not yet calculated of a bitmap button.
At least on msw just after setting the bitmap of a bitmap button
the actual size is not yet calculated: it is calculated after calling Layout()
both Ucamco and Eurocircuits.
Update message in plot dialog about best solder mask clearance value.
Show warning in plot dialog if these values are no 0.
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.
You can now choose the behavior of dragging with the
middle and right mouse buttons.
You can also choose which modifier keys to use for
panning and zooming with the scroll wheel or trackpad.
You can also customize the zoom speed, which makes
it possible to have a good zoom experience on a wider
range of input devices.
You can also now zoom by dragging with the right or
middle button if desired.

Note: this is a basic implementation but it could be
improved once we include bus information in the netlist
and pcbnew can natively keep track of buses and nets
instead of just nets.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4158
CHANGED: Cvpcb fpviewer and the pcbnew fpviewer no longer have an options dialog
ADDED: Add a side toolbar to the pcbnew footprint viewer (and the measure tool)
This also cleans up some of the settings structs in the viewers, since
it was somewhat confusing before.
