Patch to extend Report NetLength Action

[nobody]

This patch adds support for doing Report(netlength,net_name) instead of having to click a net.

Currently, it seems that my patch is not working for nets terminating in arcs. Looking into this.

any progress on making it work with nets terminating in arcs?

[Bert Timmerman (bert-timmerman)]

I applied this patch with the help of Maciej Pijanka.

Subsequently changed "True" into "true", and "False" into "false" as to remove some bit rot.
I have not looked into the correct calculation of the length of the nets, and do not know (yet) whether arcs are calculated/included in a correct way.

Can anyone reproduce the "nets terminating in arcs" bug? Seems to work for me. If nobody can reproduce it, we can close this bug.

What is the launchpad number number of the "nets terminating in arcs" bug?

[KaiMartin (kmk-familieknaak)]

OK. I just tried report(netlength) on variations of nets connected to arcs with different angles. The results were all consistent. That is, I can't reproduce whatever the bug was.

Not seeing anyone who can reproduce the arc length bug, let's close this. If someone sees a bug later, open a new bug report with a test case.
