Problem description

When using the Clipping Plane feature, it seems to only affect the document that was active when it was opened, and must be closed and re-opened in order to affect a different active document.

The code and UX say "Toggles clipping plane for active view."

Does this imply a set of clipping parameters per view?

The way Gui::StdCmdToggleClipPlane interoperates with Gui::Dialog::Clipping sort of allows this, but needs to track a set of dialogs per view, and handle hiding and showing them as the active view / document changes. Otherwise, these two will need to change; I'm not sure if there's another similar per-view state pattern that could be referenced/lifted.

I hope this will be resolved by a general new approach of clipping planes https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A"Topic%3A+Clipping+Planes"
