The MissingVerticalHorizontal functions from the Sketcher WB do not behave as expected. See #21396.
A check for redundant contraints is required if `makeMissingVerticalHorizontal()` is used. The argument for the function should be `True`. For consistency the same was done for makeMissingPointOnPointCoincident().
When checking angles Dim Auto Flip Text did not consider that angles can be almost -180 degrees and should then be treated the same as 180 degree angles.
Fixes#19993.
* To determine the `FlipText` value the normal (either the working plane Z axis or its reverse) and the working plane X axis are used.
* A new fine-tuning parameter `DimAutoFlipText` can be used to disable the functionality. Its default value is `True`.
* The `FlipText` property did not work for angular dimensions and the `TextSpacing` property of angular dimensions was not multiplied by `ScaleMultiplier`. This has been corrected.
* Draft: make_sketch.py: Use sketcher methods to add constraints
A sketch object has its own methods to add coincident, horizontal and vertical constraints. Using those methods allows to simplify the make_sketch.py code. The new code applies the mentioned constraints to the whole sketch, instead of per object. The old code would not add coincident constraints between seperate, but connected, objects. the new code does.
Note that the code for point objects (not changed in this PR) does not work properly.
* Fix 2 issues
* The Sketcher detect functions need a tolerance argument.
* obj.Shape.copy() does not work properly for a Draft_Point. As a workaround a Part Vertex is created instead.
* Draft: Draft_Fillet: fix error in #17945
In #17945 the delete option of the command results in an error if subobjects are selected.
* Command should not be available if there is no selection
* Update copyright notice
Fixes#11435
Draft_Fillet could already handle arcs, provided they were not Draft_Arcs. The `_extract_edge` function in make_fillet.py had a strange logic, and could also return a wire which would result in problems later.
Another issue was that the `fillet` function in fillets.py did not handle the order of the edges correctly if one of the edges was an arc and the other a straight edge. The arch had to be selected first to prevent this error.
Some error messages would only work if objects were supplied as strings. These would fail if objects were passed (as objects) that had already been deleted.
These messages were perhaps originally intended as a debuggin aid but now add clutter to the output panes. Remaining messges are mostly the result of methods to display attributes of an object (which one could call from the Python console) or actually provide some information which would not be obvious from the circumstances
The current make_layer function has a `None` default for the shape color and the line color. With that value the current preference is used. This, and how the function is called, results in some confusing behaviors:
* Newly created layers will only use 2 values from the preferences when they might use 5. The latter makes more sense for the end-user IMO.
* Layers created during DXF import (for example) will have a different shape color depending on the current preferences.
* The make_layer function may reapply colors that have already been set by the view provider.
To solve this all view property related function parameter have been changed to a not None value. If a None value is supplied the view property as set by the view provider is not changed. The Layer Manager has been updated accordingly.
I realize that calling a function with 6 None values is not very convenient, but think it is the solution that is least likely to break other exiting code.
Additionally:
* Removed the makeLayer function. Layers were introduced in V0.19 when the naming scheme was changed to "make_*". Maybe it was created by mistake, or before the actual renaming operation started, but it is safe to remove it now.
* Removed overly verbose messages.
* gui_layers.py had a missing import (result of a previous V0.22 PR): `from draftutils import utils`.
The function would trigger the creation of duplicate Draft Polar Arrays (only on Linux and only if the Fuse option is selected and the Link Array option deselected).

The reapply_diffuse_color function is no longer required anyway as Issue #8340 has been fixed.
* DisplayMode controlled by new pref DefaultAnnoDisplayMode. This replaces the old dimstyle pref.
* LineSpacing pref is now used when creating annotations. Will be added to prefs ui later.
* format_object no longer changes FontSize as this conflicted with the height parameter in the make_text function.
* make_text function updated.
* Import: Support DXF text rotation - fixes#10882
- Reads and supports text rotation in builtin DXF import
- Makes the builtin DXF import produce Draft texts instead of App::Annotations
- Extends the arguments of Draft make_text()
* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks
