Delete - Restore Stock plugin

[dh42]

Hello

This plugin allow to delete and restore the current stock definition. (only the main stock in the machining folder)

Two items are available in the plugin menu.

- Delete Stock > store the datas of the current stock in memory, then erase all stock data (except the colors)

- Restore Stock > restore the erased values. This item is disabled until a stock as been erased with Delete Stock.

for CamBam 1.0 only ; not tested on linux nor on Windows 64bits version of CamBam, feel free to give some feedback if you test it on one of this versions.

Hello

Even if this is not the goal of this plugin, it can also be used to copy a stock from a project to another.

- on the source project, delete then restore the stock so it is saved into the memory.

- without closing CamBam, open the file where you want to copy the stock (or a new blank file), then use "restore" to get a copy of the copied stock in the new file.

I finally had a need for it again and tested it.  I've been up to my back side in alligators the last couple weeks or I would have tested sooner.  Equipment problems, vendor problems, mostly just me problems.  I apologize for not trying this sooner.  Especially since you went to the effort to create it for me. 

I notice two things. 

Not related to the plugin:  If stock is set in a part then setting the values to zero DOES set the stock to undefined unlike setting the stock values in the machining parameters. 

About the plugin:  The plugin works perfectly on only the machining parameters for stock.  I am running 64bit CamBam.  No bugs noted so far.   

Thank you, and again I apologize for not trying it and giving feedback sooner.
