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
Scroll-to-show on GTK relies on the idle handler but this is interrupted
by a Raise and not revisited. Since the Dialog is always on top of the
editor, Raise is not needed to view the referenced error

This should not run if the action is "Cut". Additionally, we need to
transfer the expanded selection to selectionCopy in order for it to
proceed with the deletion. There is also no need for this to be limited
to the Hover action, so this section was removed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9385
Makes usage cleaner. If the user specifies that they are creating an
SMD, they should get SMD pads by default so that they don't have to
change them later.

Added hotkey for cycling through net & netclass color modes.
Added hotkey for cycling through ratsnest layer visibilities.
Added code to display hotkey (if set) on the above and on high-contrast
cycle.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9312
If we do a real drag, the timer will be cancelled. If we don't, then
the user is still holding the mouse button down and would probably like
to see the menu. Otherwise it appears the action is dropped.
The other drawing tools allow drag selection while idle. Also, it makes
it more obvious to the user when accidentally drag selecting while
routing than just doing nothing on a drag with the routing tool selected
and idle.
We were already checking zones separately (after tracks and pads); we
just weren't setting the flag that causes the COLLECTOR to also test
zone fills.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5924
Moving points should not be overrided by disambiguation menu, so we
track where the disambiguation event started and only trigger the menu
if the mouse hasn't moved a full unit in x/y
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9132
Previously, we were checking if the selection tool was the top of the
stack but this ignored many other "secondary" tools that might be
running such as the point editor. These still allow the selection tool
to handle events such as clicks. This change allows the selection tool
to handle clicks when it is the primary tool on the stack rather than
the top
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9110
This requires enabling the space key to be bound with shift, which was
disabled based on an overbroad limit of only allowing shift to be mapped
with letter keys
Move tool works slightly differently from other tools when figuring out
new locations. This uses the global 45 enable flag to set proper item
locations when the user is requesting a 45° constraint on movement
This standardizes selection tools in SELECTION_TOOL class to be able to
handle a long-click as asking for a non-heuristic disambiguation menu.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8490
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.

When placing a stitching via for a bypass capacitor, it is common to
place it close to the relevant pad. If the via does not have the
correct net, this will violate DRC and be prevented.
Checking for zone-based net assignments allows the workflow to proceed
This function attempted a poor-man's natural compare but it assumed
specific structure of the string. This broke for strings with
numberings that looked like decimals.
Instead, we use our natural string comparison function and remove the
references to this older function and its similar elements.

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.

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.

6.0 will be in the field for a long time, and the better the debugging

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.
Note that the dialogs which have mutliple options were not moved over
as it seems perahps not the right choice to have them save state between
sessions.

When two segments are approximately parallel, we shouldn't look to find
their intersection. It will never be the nearest point and it overflows

Locking is not a concept in the footprint editor. The signature for
checking is slightly different in the alignment tool, so we need to move
the check higher to allow aligning items in fpeditor
Do not remove footprint objects from list of selected objects when there
are no drawable objects other than the reference and value text.
Increase the minimum size rectangle for footprints from 0.025mm to 1mm
when the footprint has no drawing objects so that it is easier to select
the footprint in this case.
Add some pretty colors to the footprint bounding box and hull outline
so that it's possible to tell the difference between selection areas.

We need to ensure that boards do not have duplicated KIIDs, so we repair
the duplicates when opening an existing file. This does not change the
file on disk until saved
CHANGED: Highlight net tool changed to highlight display toggle; moved to left toolbar
CHANGED: Multi-net highlight is now accessible when using the highlight net action
ADDED: Highlight Net and Clear Highlight actions to Net Tools context menu
ADDED: Default hotkey (Ctrl+`) for toggling net highlighting
The current and previous net highlight state are now stored and can be toggled
on or off with an action (no hotkey by default).
Highlight is now treated as a persistent state rather than a tool that is entered,
meaning there is no longer a special tool to enter in order to highlight nets.
Highlighting can be controlled while any other tool is active using the hotkeys
or context menu on a net object.
Tweak the icons for highlight net and layer display mode to better disambiguate them.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8250
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.
After drawing a graphic, allow the control points to persist when
exiting the tool.
The effect of this is to make the first "Esc" press a
"return-to-select-tool" event without modifying the selection or control
points from within the drawing tools. The section "Esc" press, when in
the selection tool will clear the selection and the control points
called inside the board editor.
Fix also a broken behavior: the current action was not cancelled, and if it is
called during a move items (when typing the 'T' key), items were broken.
The actual bug is the fact it is called also in fp editor and footprint wizard frame,
because it is part of EDIT_TOOL action list, common to fp editor, and should not.
But a full change is much more costly than just a filter.
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Duplicates are reannotated on paste in the same way in pcbnew and
eeschema such that when copying and pasting the same block in the
pcb and schematic, the reference designators will match.
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
Also removes a bunch of old implementations of pad locking and
filtering which are no longer needed. (They're now handled by the
uniform locking code.)
Also removes some of the auto-promotion logic. Rotating a footprint
when a pad was selected is going to be surprising whether the pad
is locked or not.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8322
This code was shared between the footprint frame and
pcb edit frame, so push it into the base edit frame.
Also remove the dummy wxUpdateUIEvents that weren't
actually being used.
Use the connecting straight tracks even if not exactly parallel - allow
an error margin configurable in ADVANCED_CFG (default 1 degree). Also
be less strict about end point matching and use the width of the track
as the criteria to determine suitability.
Finally, delete any short lengths of track at the end of the operation
and amend the arc end points to keep connectivity.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7967
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
After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
Loading this advanced configuration option statically will cause it to
show up in the hotkey list even when the option is disabled. Creating
the tool action at run time resolves this issue.
This is hidden behind an advanced configuration setting and is primarily
useful for developers trying to troubleshoot the netlist payload sent
from the board editor to the schematic editor.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8051
The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
Saying "Import/Export" on the labels when the submenu has "Import"
or "Export" in it is redundant.
Note that we can't just update the action text with the new name,
because that is used in the hotkey list and would become too confusing
without the "Import"/"Export" text.
SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys were handled in 2 different codes, one for
the selection tool and another to modify the mouse cursor shape, with 2
different configs.
Now the modifiers are managed from only one function.
Pcbnew: group also SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys management to a specific function.
Fixes#8021https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8021
We were discarding shapes too aggressively for having a
larger area than a shape underneath.
Let's also try showing fewer disambiguation menus, in particular
always preferring items on the active layer when the candidates
include overlapping items of similar area on other layers.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7949
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.
CHANGED: add corner and repeat last command now default to 'I' instead
of '<insert>' on Mac.
1) wxWidgets doesn't currently display the correct graphic in the menu
for the insert key
2) Mac laptops don't have an instert key
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5016
The move tool can stack on others, so when we re-enter the previous tool
this caused another immediate action. We flag re-entry in the tool
stack to check for this and avoid unexpected tool starts
When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"
icon, they want to add the item. Requiring an extra click on the screen
before selecting the component/footprint is not needed.
