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
This includes `make_arc_3points`, `make_array`, `make_bezcurve`,
`make_block`, `make_bspline`, `make_circle`, `make_circulararray`,
`make_clone`, `make_copy`, `make_dimension`, `make_drawingview`,
`make_ellipse`, `make_facebinder`, `make_fillet`, `make_label`,
`make_line`, `make_orthoarray`, `make_patharray`, `make_point`,
`make_pointarray`, `make_polararray`, `make_polygon`,
`make_rectangle`, `make_shape2dview`, `make_shapestring`,
`make_sketch`, `make_text`, `make_wire`, `make_wpproxy`.
These are added to the `draftmake` Doxygen group
so that the functions contained in each module are listed
appropriately in the automatically generated documentation.
A single `make_dimension` handles three types of dimensions,
(1) simple linear, (2) linear linked to an object, and (3) linked
to a circular edge.
So, we provide a new function, `make_radial_dimension_obj`,
to handle the third case. In this way we can check the input
parameters much better.
We adjust the `Draft_Dimension` Gui Command accordingly.

So, we provide two new functions, `make_linear_dimension`
and `make_linear_dimension_obj`, to handle the first two cases.
In this way we can check the input parameters much better.
We adjust the `Draft_Dimension` Gui Command accordingly.
Previously the `make_dimension` and `make_angular_dimension`
functions were in `draftobjects/dimension.py`.
Now they are moved to `draftmake/make_dimension.py`.
The original `makeAngularDimension` function requires angles
in radians which is counterintuitive for most cases. Also
the order is `[big, small]`.
The new function `make_angular_dimension` accepts angles
in degrees, and the order is `[small, big]`. The older
function is retained for compatibility purposes.
Also perform several improvements such as PEP8 cleanup,
writing complete docstrings, type checking the input arguments,
and depreacting the older call.
The `Draft.py` module, Gui Command, unit test, and test script
are updated accordingly.
