Hi Reece-I've had a chance to test this a bit. It works really nicely. Thanks for the good idea here.
I only noticed one spot where it wasn't transformed so far: the Measurement tool. When used, it displays a sign with the distance, which doesn't match the increasing/decreasing convention.
The second part is mostly a question. Where do I set this in Eeschema and page layout? The setting is in the panel under pcbnew, so I would assume it is a per-application process. However, there is no other application that has that panel for setting.
I don't have a strong opinion on whether this should be a KiCad-wide preference or not. I can't imagine someone wanting to set it one way in Eeschema and another in pcbnew. If that was your intention, the panel should be at the top level rather than under pcbnew. If it wasn't, can you give some more insight into why it would be good to split between the applications?
Lastly, and this is a bit fundamental, I have reservations about passing this parameter around when it is not needed. This is more of a C-style convention. Where functions inherit the frame with the preference, that should be used by a Get() method rather than passing down in a parameter chain.
In some cases (UNIT_HELPER), this should either be incorporated into UNIT_HELPER or written as a class that inherits UNIT_HELPER. The class then gets the current setting (as Unit helper does with the units) and applies it in one place only.
The problem with the current solution is that it becomes very difficult to maintain as the parameter count increases.
Overall, this is an excellent piece of work. I look forward to using it and flipping my perspective around. :)
