vocx-fc 4fb2eb663e Draft: add modules of draftmake to the proper Doxygen group
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.

def make_polar_array(base_object,
number=5, angle=360, center=App.Vector(0, 0, 0),
use_link=True):
"""Create a polar array from the given object.
Parameters
----------
base_object: Part::Feature or str
Any of object that has a `Part::TopoShape` that can be duplicated.
This means most 2D and 3D objects produced with any workbench.
If it is a string, it must be the `Label` of that object.
Since a label is not guaranteed to be unique in a document,
it will use the first object found with this label.
number: int, optional
It defaults to 5.
The number of copies produced in the polar pattern.
angle: float, optional
It defaults to 360.
The magnitude in degrees swept by the polar pattern.
center: Base::Vector3, optional
It defaults to the origin `App.Vector(0, 0, 0)`.
The vector indicating the center of rotation of the array.
use_link: bool, optional
It defaults to `True`.
If it is `True` the produced copies are not `Part::TopoShape` copies,
but rather `App::Link` objects.
The Links repeat the shape of the original `obj` exactly,
and therefore the resulting array is more memory efficient.
Also, when `use_link` is `True`, the `Fuse` property
of the resulting array does not work; the array doesn't
contain separate shapes, it only has the original shape repeated
many times, so there is nothing to fuse together.
If `use_link` is `False` the original shape is copied many times.
In this case the `Fuse` property is able to fuse
all copies into a single object, if they touch each other.
Returns
-------
Part::FeaturePython
A scripted object of type `'Array'`.
Its `Shape` is a compound of the copies of the original object.
None
If there is a problem it will return `None`.
