For the try-except blocks we should trap a specific `Exception`,
not just any type. It seems string handling was an issue
with Python 2, so the string needed UTF8 decoding.
When the software no longer supports Python 2, these
blocks can be removed.
The added functions are test_scale_part_feature_arcs, test_scale_part_feature_lines, test_scale_rectangle, test_scale_spline and test_scale_wire.
When comparing vectors and floats a tolerance of 1e-8 is used, but only for the midpoints of the arcs in test_scale_part_feature_arcs is this tolerance required. Scaling a part feature is not possible with the Draft_Scale command, but Draft.scale does support it.
As suggested by @Vanuan. and already implemented in new experimental BIM Wall: 1084a4b0a9
Draft: updated Draft Edit
thanks to the suggestions by @Vanuan
Draft: further bugfixing and improvements in Draft_Edit
Draft: moved Draft_Edit preview code into respective GuiTools
Small fixes where the `get_svg` function is used, for example,
in the (obsolete) `DrawingView` class and `Arch_SectionPlane`.
Also update the unit tests accordingly.
It takes a `Shape` and replicates it around a path, while at the
same time adding a rotation to each copy. This can be used to create
a twisted "ribcage" from a frame-like object, which can be used
in a more complicated `Shape`, for example, a tunnel or bridge
object.
Also rename `getSVG` to `get_svg`.
Instead of testing `obj.isDerivedFrom('Part::Feature')`
we test for a Shape, `hasattr(obj, 'Shape')`.
This is to support the SVG generation of `App::Links`.
This follows from the migration of the Layer code
done in 831e517717.
In the older `makeLayer` function, the parameters `drawstyle`
and `transparency` could be `None`; in the new `make_layer` function,
`drawstyle` must be an explicit string, and `transparency`
must be a number. If not provided, they use default values.
