this PR is the first step for new Pad features.
It implements 3 features requested by users:
1. an option to measure the pad length along its direction if there is a custom direction
2. when there are two lengths, the reverse feature should be active
3. the pad dialog shows now always the used pad direction, no matter if it is a custom one or the sketch's normal
- Furthermore there are some code improvements (avoid rounding and blocking signals)
- Also adapt TestPad.py because its test used the case two lengths + reversed but this was not possible before this PR - the reverse option was not take into account for two lengths in FeatureSketchBased.cpp)
Now it is and therefore the test must be updated:
In the test the second sketch has the normal vector 0, -1, 0. As the reverse option is set the pad direction is 0, 1, 0. So in y direction is the length (1mm) and in -y direction is length2 (2mm). This gives together with the other pad of volume 1, a total volume of 4.
- fix UI issue: either reversed or midplane
As noticed by @chennes, when the pad uses symmetric, reversed is not sensible and vice versa.
This commit fixes the missing Gui side for the case midplane is checked and the App side.
- the PR also fix two typos
as reported in https://tracker.freecadweb.org/view.php?id=3818
we treat the blind hole depth not according to the conventions. The size of the drill point due to the angle is normally not taken into account but FC does this in any case.
This PR adds therefore an option, that is by default off, to take the drill point size into account.
Without the option, (the new default) the depth is calculated according to the conventions.
The PR also removes unused widgets and restored the tab order in the .ui file. The thread parameters were never used. In case we made in future the decision to carve into holes real (modeled) threads, we need a special UI for that solution anyway so having the dead code in is not helpful at all.
The given parameters return an invalid shape. This fails with occt7.4 but doesn't with occt7.3. If the angle is 45 degree the cone is self-intersecting as Hole.Depth > Hole.Diameter/2. Changing the Hole.TaperedAngle to 60 degree solves this issue.
This is the first feature that used GeoFeatureGroupExtension and required links to the groups inside as well as to things on the same level. Hence a few modifications to link scopes have been nesseccary.
