Petru Conduraru bc1fb2a88d Bonsai: add one click copy of annotations to another drawing (#8719)
* Bonsai: move annotations between drawings when reassigning their group

Assigning an IfcAnnotation to a group that represents another drawing
previously left the annotation in both drawings at once: it stayed in
its old drawing group, its Blender object stayed in the old drawing
collection, and it kept the old camera depth, so the reassignment
appeared to do nothing useful. Issue #2966 documents the seven step
manual workaround users needed instead.

The assign group operator now detects when the target group represents
a drawing (via the new tool.Drawing.get_group_drawing, the inverse of
get_drawing_group), unassigns the annotation from its previous drawing
group, moves its object into the new drawing collection, and places it
on the new drawing camera plane. The target camera is imported on
demand when it has not been loaded yet, matching the pattern used by
the activate drawing operator.

* Bonsai: add one click copy of annotations to another drawing (#2966)

Duplicating an annotation into a different drawing used to require a
seven step manual process: loading groups in scene properties, copying
the object, fixing its group assignment by hand, and repositioning it
onto the target camera plane. A plain Blender duplicate is not enough
because the copy keeps pointing at the same IFC entity, and the Shift D
override, while it does create a genuine new entity through
root.copy_class, leaves the duplicate in the source drawing group,
collection, and camera depth.

The new copy annotation to drawing operator packages the proven recipe
already used by duplicate drawing into one action: duplicate through
tool.Geometry.duplicate_ifc_objects, unassign the copy from the source
drawing group, assign it to the chosen target group, place it on the
target camera plane at the same world XY, and file it into the target
drawing collection. The originals are left untouched and the user's
selection is restored. The target camera is imported on demand when it
has not been loaded yet.

The operator shows a target drawing dropdown and is reachable from the
annotation tool sidebar when an annotation is selected, and from the
drawings panel. Annotations already in the target drawing are skipped
and reported.

The orchestration lives in core.drawing.copy_annotations_to_drawing
with prophecy tests covering the copy, the skip, and the camera import
branches. Verified live in headless Blender 5.1: the copy is a new
IfcAnnotation with its own GlobalId and IfcTextLiteral, both texts are
editable independently, and everything survives save and reload with
each annotation loading in its own drawing.
