Entities that carry the standard PE_URL XDATA record (what HYPERLINK writes)
can now be followed from the canvas: Ctrl+click opens the link in the system
browser and consumes the click, so no box/lasso selection starts.
- scene::selection::pe_url_of() reads the record with the same rule as the
Properties panel hyperlink field; unit-tested.
- The ViewCube/compass hit region wins over a hyperlink drawn beneath it.
- Unchanged behaviour when Ctrl is not held or the entity has no link.
value toggle, and redesigned constraint-ribbon icons
Properties panel:
- New "Parameters" section (shown with no selection) listing every named
parameter with inline name/formula editing, add, and delete, backed by
new PropValue::ParamRow/ParamAddRow and command_driver handlers
(resolve_named_parameter_edit, on_prop_param_commit/_delete/_add_new).
A fresh parameter's formula now defaults to "1", not "0" — a 0-length
seed value is a genuine solver singularity for a Distance constraint
driven by that parameter, with no defined direction to grow back out of.
- New "Constraints" section (shown for a single selected entity) listing
every constraint touching it as a clickable PropValue::EntityLink that
selects the linked entities in the viewport, danger-tinted when the
constraint conflicts.
Constraint pills:
- New Options > General toggle, "Show values and parameter names on
constraint markers" (on by default, persisted). Off, every pill shows
just its bare glyph instead of glyph+driven-value/parameter-name — the
glyph alone is enough to see a constraint is present, without the value
text covering nearby geometry on a dense sketch.
Constraint-ribbon icons:
- Replaced all 18 unicode/letter glyph icons (including the plain "F",
"L", "M", "S" letters) with proper SVGs under assets/icons/constrain/,
matching the Modify section's two-color style (#B4B6B9 white / #6DB7ED
blue, consistent stroke width). Tangent reuses the Draw section's
white-arc-plus-blue-dots motif.

Resolve curve intersections through cadkernel, retain empty exact results, gather analytic candidates independently of tessellation, and bound material uploads. Preserve large MINSERT data while limiting rendering work; remove obsolete review narratives.
Selecting a whole drawing was unusable on a 186 468-entity file. Four costs
scaled with the selection where they did not have to.
Every selected handle triggered a walk of the entire document to find LEADERs
pointing at it. On the file this came from, selecting 471 583 entities in a
585 786-entity drawing did not finish inside eight minutes. A reverse index
built once per geometry epoch answers the same question; a test asserts it
returns exactly what the walk returned, including the case of two leaders on
one annotation.
Group expansion asked the selection about every group: for each selected
handle it scanned each group's own member list. Asking each group once
whether it holds anything selected turns that around.
Selecting and deselecting went one entity at a time, and `deselect_entity`
rebuilt the ordered list with a `retain` per handle, so removing N of M
walked the order list N times. Both now take a slice.
Grips were built for every selected entity. AutoCAD stops at GRIPOBJLIMIT,
and the DWG header does not carry the variable, so its default of 100 stands
in for it.
The remaining two commits are measurement: `select-commit` reports the phases
of a selection separately, which is what showed the bulk paths had been added
to the press-drag branch while a click-move-click window goes through a
different one entirely.
`view-detail` on an edit frame:
total=105.6ms chrome=105.4 [every other section 0.0]
and the edit latency measurement puts ~102 ms of a 192 ms drawn point in
the gap between the handler returning and the scene primitive being built
— which is that same `chrome`.
The status bar asks for `entity_type_names_in_layout` on every frame to
populate the selection-filter menu, and the cache behind it was keyed on
`geometry_epoch`. Every drawn point bumps that epoch, so every drawn point
walked all 444 937 handles a model space owns to answer a question the
line did not change: adding a line to a drawing that already has lines
leaves the set of type names exactly as it was.
The cache now carries the set alongside the list, and folds edits in from
the delta journal — the same incremental shape `entity_index` already
uses. Additions can only grow the set, so they are applied directly and
the existing `Arc` is handed back untouched when nothing new appeared. A
removal can retire a type and cannot be resolved from a handle that is
already gone, so those still fall back to the full walk.
`entity_type_name` returns a literal for every arm but one — `Extended`
borrows its class name from the entity — so the set holds owned strings,
and the hot path tests `contains` before allocating.
Tested: a second line of an existing type must hand back the same `Arc`,
a new type must still appear, and the folded answer must equal what a
rebuild from scratch produces.

Reuse the application library from the binary entry point instead of compiling the module tree twice. Keep desktop-only transports and caches out of web builds, remove unused test code, and check executable targets in CI.
Pan and even plain cursor movement over the canvas ran at ~8 fps on a
large drawing. Nothing rendered was responsible: the GPU idled at 0-8%,
encoding no scene at all changed nothing, and vertices, pixels and draw
calls could each be cut without moving the number. `view` was the frame
-- 110 ms of it against 3-6 ms on a small drawing -- and inside `view`
it was the status bar.
The status bar builds the selection-filter menu, which asks for the
distinct entity type names in the layout. That call cloned the layout's
entire handle list (1 166 357 handles, ~9 MB), then did a map lookup, a
String allocation and a BTreeSet insert for each one. About 107 ms of a
110 ms frame, to produce roughly twenty names, for a menu that is only
visible when opened.
Cache the result against geometry_epoch and the layout block, since it
only changes when entities are added or removed, and make the scan
itself borrow the handle list rather than clone it and collect &str,
allocating only for the names it returns.
The immediate-mode UI rebuilds every widget on every mouse move, which is
fine as long as nothing in that path is O(document). This was.

Resolve ByBlock alpha independently from color and keep explicit opaque values from falling back to layer transparency.
Pin the matching cadcodec API across desktop, plugin, and web targets.
Refs HakanSeven12/cadcodec#2
Sync current main and companion codec changes before preserving unsupported frame rows, rendering in the entity plane, and sharing final layout metrics with placement preview.
Enable in-place editing of inherited properties in the Properties panel:
- Transparency: Switch to PropValue::EditChoice with ByLayer and ByBlock presets to allow direct typing of any numeric percentage value (0..90%) without combo_box autocomplete interference.
- Select-all-on-click: Integrate EditChoice text inputs into build_field_key_map with dedicated widget IDs, preserving click-to-select-all across editable fields.
- Material: Provide bounded preset choices (ByLayer, ByBlock, Global, and active custom material) to avoid scanning large drawing dictionaries.
- Plot style: Implement mode-aware behavior with interactive Choice in STB mode and ReadOnlyWithTooltip in CTB mode.
- Read-only tooltips: Introduce PropValue::ReadOnlyWithTooltip to provide contextual explanations for locked fields while preserving mouse text selection and clipboard copying.
- Dropdown alignment & unified borders: Fix EditChoice internal input/caret background clipping so the container's 1px neutral/active border surrounds the entire control identically to Lineweight and text inputs.
- Document defaults & aggregation: Synchronize document header defaults when editing with No selection, and aggregate heterogeneous multi-selections (*VARIES*).
Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
Replace full-document snapshots with Arc first-touch deltas and batch cache invalidation. Reuse interaction and GPU category caches across unrelated edits.
- Block reference Name (Misc) is editable: the dropdown re-points the
insert to another definition; typing a new name renames the definition
everywhere (record re-key, Block marker, every INSERT reference).
Anonymous (*) and xref blocks stay read-only, with the same guards
added to Scene::rename_block.
- Custom single-control dropdown (text field + caret) built on the
shared floating_below overlay so the list always opens downward,
unlike iced's space-based menu placement.
- Consecutive "<Base> X/Y/Z" rows (Position, Scale, Start, Center, ...)
collapse into one expandable summary row across all entities; the
expand state persists across rebuilds and selection changes.
- The BEDIT block tab no longer offers the layout Rename/Delete
context menu.

Frequent entity-only edits (MOVE/ROTATE/SCALE/MIRROR/ALIGN, COPY/ARRAY,
draw-add, ERASE) captured a full ~800k-entity CadDocument clone (~46ms) on
every edit — the last big per-edit cost after the incremental-render work.
They now record only the touched entities' before/after images:
- Scene self-records through the five mutation primitives when a recording is
open (UndoRecording + is_recording_undo guard, zero cost off-path).
- apply_entity_delta installs one side per handle (in-place / re-insert with
the original handle / remove) plus a per-handle cache reseed, then a single
bump_entities so the incremental caches patch instead of a full re-tess —
undo/redo of a small edit is fast too, not just the edit.
- HistorySnapshot is now Full | Delta; a Delta is self-inverting and moves
between the undo/redo stacks without re-capturing. Commands that touch
non-entity state (new layer, group, *D block, viewport) fall back to the
full snapshot via per-command predicates, and a poison flag debug-asserts
any mis-scope.
remove_entity leaves the handle dangling in its owner block record's
entity_handles (harmless on its own, a lookup miss is skipped), so a
re-insert strips stale entries first — otherwise add_entity would list the
handle twice and the DXF/DWG writer would emit the entity twice.
Round-trip tests cover transform/erase/add/copy (do->undo->redo equality,
handle preservation, no duplication).

Every geometry mutation previously bumped a monotonic geometry_epoch and each
derived cache compared its stamp and, on a miss, re-walked the whole document —
so drawing or moving one line rebuilt every hatch / image / mesh / wipeout model
even though none of them changed.
Add a per-mutation delta journal: bump_entities(&[(Handle, ChangeKind)]) records
exactly which handles changed (Added / Removed / Modified), folding the memo drop
and the epoch bump into one call a site cannot forget. A bounded ring keeps the
recent deltas; replay_since(last_epoch) coalesces the changes past a consumer or
returns None (full rebuild) when a spanned delta is `full` or the consumer fell
off the ring. bump_geometry / bump_geometry_no_blocks push a `full` delta so the
journal is never missing a step.
Route the common single-entity ops through it: add (Added), update (Modified),
erase (Removed), move/rotate/scale/mirror (Modified), copy (Added). Gate the four
per-category model caches on category relevance — an edit whose handles are not in
a category leaves that category cache warm; a removal is treated conservatively
(the erased handle can no longer be classified), and the mesh cache also
invalidates on any INSERT edit since it carries the instanced block meshes.
Net: a plain-entity edit no longer rebuilds the hatch/image/mesh/wipeout model
sets. The resident wire clone-all and the GPU re-upload are still whole-set — the
journal is the groundwork for making those per-entity next. Adds 6 journal unit
tests (replay, coalescing, full-fallback, ring overflow, category gate).

The Current Vertex row is now a ◀ / ▶ stepper (new PropValue::Stepper)
showing "i / N". Stepping it moves the panel's focus through the
polyline's vertices — Vertex X/Y and the per-vertex start/end widths show
and edit the focused vertex instead of always the first — and the focused
vertex's grip is drawn hot (filled) in the drawing so it's visible while
navigating. Focus wraps around and resets to the first vertex when the
selection changes. Adds Area and Length to the LwPolyline Geometry group
(Polyline2D already had them). Applies to LwPolyline and Polyline2D.
The focused vertex is threaded to the per-entity property builder/editor
through a dispatch thread-local (like the curve-tolerance override), so
the PropertyEditable trait signatures are unchanged.

Groundwork for making the Properties panel conform to the per-entity group/row
spec (PROPERTIES.md). The panel already renders a Vec of sections, but each
entity could only express a single geometry section.
Change PropertyEditable::geometry_properties (and the EntityTypeOps enum
dispatch) to return Vec<PropSection>, update the two impl macros, and flatten
in properties_sectioned so the panel shows [General] + the entity's groups.
Every entity builder is wrapped to return its existing section as a one-element
Vec — pure mechanical change, no rows or titles altered, panel output identical.
Enables Phase 2: rewriting each entity's groups/rows to match the spec.

Locked-layer objects were fully editable. Now they stay visible and
snappable but are otherwise protected:
- Not selectable: the five interactive pick paths (box, lasso, single
click, cycling, box-release) plus SELECTALL and QSELECT skip locked
entities.
- Not modifiable (defense-in-depth even if a handle slips through):
transform_entities, erase_entities, apply_grip and the Properties
commit all skip locked entities.
- Faded: entities on a locked layer render dimmed toward the background
(render_style + wire tessellation); toggling lock re-tessellates.
- Snap still works: locked entities are intentionally kept in the wire
set (visibility_ok untouched), so object snap keeps finding them.
- Feedback: a small padlock is drawn by the crosshair when hovering a
locked object, and clicking one prints "Object is on locked layer …".
New Scene::is_layer_locked / locked_layer_name helpers centralise the
check (mirroring layer_hidden).

Selecting an INSERT with attributes now adds an editable "Attributes"
section to the Properties panel — each tag is a row whose value can be
changed inline (Enter commits, undo works, the attribute text repaints).
Previously attribute values could only be reached through ATTEDIT, which
didn't let them be changed (#192).
Attribute tags are runtime strings, so they can't ride the geometry
edit path whose field key is `&'static str`; a dedicated PropValue::
AttrText variant plus PropAttrInput/PropAttrCommit messages carry the
tag. Values are stored verbatim (no expression evaluation, since
attribute text is free-form).
Also guard the panel's in-progress edit buffer: it now only carries
across a rebuild when the selection is unchanged (a commit-triggered
refresh), so a typed-but-uncommitted value can't display or commit onto
a different entity — e.g. two title blocks sharing a REV1 tag. This
closes a latent stale-buffer leak that affected geometry fields too.

Break up the four giant files (~29k lines total) into focused submodule
directories, one concern per file. Pure mechanical moves — behavior is
unchanged.
- app/update.rs (9650) -> app/update/{mod,viewport,command,style,file,
dynamic,dialog,util}. The 384-arm update_inner match stays in mod.rs
with thin delegating arms; the 66 fattest arm bodies move to topic
methods. Arm set preserved exactly (384 -> 384).
- scene/mod.rs (9017) -> scene/{mod,entity,tess,hittest,layout,paper,
mspace,project,selection,modify,group_layer,preview}. The impl Scene
body is split across files via inherent-impl-per-file; struct, ctor,
fields and load-time helpers stay in the root. fn count 123 -> 123.
- app/commands.rs (6082) -> app/commands/* grouped by command family.
The 233-arm dispatch match becomes source-ordered per-family
dispatch_* handlers, preserving first-match precedence (233 -> 233).
- app/view.rs (4686) -> app/view/{mod,overlay,modal,viewcube,controls}.
Largest file drops from 9650 to 3343. Builds clean; app launches and
loads plugins with no panic.

Move the 30 flat modules under src/scene/ into six folders by role:
convert (entity→geometry), text (fonts/shaping), model (render models),
pick (hit-test/selection/grips/xclip), view (camera/transform/render),
cache (block + property caches). pipeline/ is unchanged.
Full path migration — all `scene::X` references become
`scene::<group>::X`, no compatibility re-exports. render.rs items that
were `pub(super)` (parent was scene) become `pub(in crate::scene)` to
keep their original scene-wide visibility.
No behavior change; build and tests are green.

DRAWORDER now affects rendering immediately (bump geometry epoch so the
sort cache rebuilds) and front/back anchor to the block's full effective
sort range instead of only existing table entries, so bring-to-front
actually lands on top. The render fallback sorts table-absent entities by
their own handle.
Draw order now applies across entity types, not just within a type. A
per-entity draw-order rank (SortEntitiesTable override or own handle,
ranked per block) is encoded as a small signed clip-z bias in the wire,
hatch, image, and 3DFACE pipelines. The shared LessEqual depth buffer then
orders fills, lines, rasters and 2D solids against each other regardless of
pass order — without touching model coordinates. 3D meshes keep real
geometric depth; wipeouts stay always-on-top.
Adds a Draw Order submenu to the viewport context menu (Bring to Front,
Send to Back, Bring Above/Send Under Object). The above/under items run an
interactive reference-object pick, then reorder the captured selection.

- ribbon.rs → ribbon/mod.rs + ribbon/widgets.rs
Extracted all rendering helpers, button styles, colour constants,
layout constants and dropdown position calculators into widgets.rs.
- scene/mod.rs → scene/mod.rs + scene/selection.rs + scene/render.rs
Moved SelectionState into selection.rs; moved CameraState, Primitive,
shader::Program/Primitive impls, render_style and resolve_pattern
into render.rs, reducing mod.rs from 1323 to ~1030 lines.
