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
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.
These style properties are used by `ViewProviderDraftAnnotation`
and by the Gui Command `Draft_AnnotationStyleEditor`.
Therefore, they are moved from `draftguitools.gui_annotationstyleeditor`
module to the `draftutils.utils` module, so that they
are in a central location where they won't cause circular
dependencies.
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.
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 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.
