Hi all,

today I commited some code in pcb-rnd to improve arc editing:

https://archive.org/details/pcb_rnd_arc_end

- when a non-endpoint of the arc is grabbed, it's the traditional move (or 
copy) of the arc

- when grabbing an endpoint, it's possible to change the angles

- if shift if pressed after grabbing an endpoint, the radius is changed

- snap works properly on off-grid arc endpoints

- the usual snap also works while moving an arc endpoint

- cycledrag (default key 'x') can switch to an arc endpoint

- even the rubber band works with arc ends  (more or less)

I've also renamed the gui dialog based exporter action Export() to 
ExportGUI() and introduced a new Export() action in core. It's now 
possible to execute Export() actions in batch mode which makes it easier 
to use pcb-rnd to automatically combine or edit designs and then export 
them in the same go.

It also makes the user able to create new menus or hotkeys to rapidly 
export the current design in their favorite format with their favorite 
settings, without having to choose an exporter of fill in dialogs.

Regards,

Igor2
