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.
Move `make_layer` to `draftmake`; `Layer` and `LayerContainer`
to `draftobjects`; `ViewProviderLayer` and `ViewProviderLayerContainer`
to `draftviewproviders`.
The make function and the classes are imported in `Draft.py`
to support the usage of the older `VisGroup`.
These functions were previously in `draftutils.utils`,
and are related to grouping objects and finding objects
inside groups. These include `get_group_names`, `ungroup`,
`get_windows`, `get_group_contents`, `get_movable_children`.
These are imported in the main `Draft.py` module, so compatibility
is retained.
Modules which use these functions are updated; these include
Gui Commands like `Move`, `Rotate`, `Scale`, `AddToGroup`,
as well as objects like `DrawingView` and `Shape2DView`,
and `ViewProviderClone`.
The code inside the `importDXF` module is also updated.
The Arch Workbench uses many of these functions
but it does so from the `Draft` namespace, so these edits
don't change the situation for these commands.
The functions `getDefaultUnit`, `makeFormatSpec`, `displayExternal`
are used to get the default unit schema for lengths and angles,
and display a string with a particular format.
They aren't used in `DraftGui.py`, but are used by the
viewprovider of the Dimension objects. Therefore, they are moved
into a separate module, so that they can be imported without
using the entire `DraftGui` module.
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.
Also perform several improvements such as PEP8 cleanup,

Update `Draft.py`, the Gui Command, the unit test, and test script
as well.
Also perform several improvements such as PEP8 cleanup,
write complete docstring, type checking of the input arguments,
accepting a full placement to modify the position,
and deprecating the older call.
Update the Gui Command as well.
New package for organizing the geometrical utility functions of
the workbench, `draftgeoutils`.
The first submodule is one that deals with general operations.
Previously they were in `draftobjects`, but since they
don't define new objects, just create objects,
they are moved to `draftmake`.
Also ajust the `CMakeLists.txt` and the corresponding Gui Commands
which use these make functions.
These functions internally use the `Draft.makeArray` function.
We will put comments as reminders so that when this function
is moved to its own module, we can update the derived functions.
The original code was in `DraftFillet.py` which is split
into a different modules like the rest of the workbench.
The object code is in `draftobjects`, the viewprovider
is in `draftviewproviders`, and the function to create it
is in `draftmake`.
Also import it in the `Draft` namespace so that is available
as `Draft.make_arc_3points`.
Use this new function in the unit test `drafttests.test_creation`,
in the GuiCommand `draftguitools.gui_arcs`, and in the
`draft_test_objects` script.
