Conflicts with #1573: the locale files and the catalog take both PRs'
entries (one "Insertion Point" mapping kept); the Home and Insert Block
panels take #1574's layout with #1573's Insert Block gallery.
#1573's five formatted block messages carried {}/{name} in every locale,
so the catalog never filled them and the UI printed the brace text; they
use the __ocs_fmt_0__ marker now. The Options collapse arrow, the library
up button and the folder picker are SVG icons instead of glyph text, and
the Details header drops its sort glyph. The contrast test follows the
cards to the weak surface pair and the palette test closes with
BLOCKSPALETTECLOSE, since BLOCKSPALETTE now only opens.

A Field dialog with the fields the application evaluates and the
reference format choices, FIELD placing a field as multi-line text, the
attribute definition dialogs' field buttons, field attachment on commit,
system variable / file size / regional date providers for field
evaluation, and the codec patch with the field authoring API.

Validation messages show in the dialogs, the Default value of a multi-line
definition can be edited in the multi-line text editor, "Specify on-screen"
is kept for the session, ATTDISP sets ATTMODE with the reference prompt
instead of changing the definitions, and Insert > Block gets the Edit
Attribute (Single / Multiple) and attribute display lists.

Rebuild the Blocks palette with Current Drawing / Recent / Favorites /
Libraries tabs, wildcard filter, six views, insertion options, click and
drop insertion and a block context menu. INSERT opens the palette, the
new -INSERT runs on the command line, the ribbon Insert button becomes a
block gallery, and BLOCKMRULIST, BLOCKREDEFINEMODE, BLOCKNAVIGATE,
BLOCKSTATE, EXPLMODE and INSNAME are added.

Plane and cylinder picks ask again and section extraction gives nothing
on a scan without segments, as the reference does with unstructured
scans (scan segmentation is not decoded yet). The section dialog's time
estimate reads in minutes.

Picking the cloud opens the Extract Section Lines from Point Cloud
dialog with the reference's settings and defaults: entire cross section
or perimeter only, maximum points to process (slider and field, with
the estimated time), output layer (Use Current or a layer), colour,
lines or 2D polylines with their width, minimum line length and connect
lines tolerance (each measurable by two points on screen), collinear
angle tolerance (0-10) and Preview result. Create extracts; with the
preview it asks [Accept/Settings/Undo] and Settings reopens the dialog.
The settings are kept for the session. Automation action pc_section.

A dockable Point Cloud Manager lists each point cloud of the drawing (only
the selected ones while any is selected) with Regions (disabled, region
data is not read), Unassigned Points and Scans, the scans named by their
file stems. Each switch shows or hides points: the cloud, its unassigned
points, all scans or one scan. The hidden set is the cloud's
OCS_POINTCLOUD_VISIBILITY extended data (scan names plus *CLOUD_OFF /
*UNASSIGNED_OFF markers, app id registered), written as one undo step and
kept on save. The drawn points skip hidden scans by their index ranges,
and the hidden set is part of the placed-cloud key. Collapse all / expand
all, row highlight and a search box that filters rows (keeping parents of
matches). POINTCLOUDMANAGERCLOSE closes it; the pc_manager_toggle
automation action flips a switch.

POINTCLOUDCOLORMAP asks for a cloud (or None for the drawing's default
schemes) and opens the Point Cloud Color Map dialog: intensity and
elevation tabs with the scheme list, New / Delete / Rename, number of
colours (2-25, resampled along the scheme), blend between the ends,
reverse, gradient or bands, the colorized range, the out-of-range
choice and, for elevation, the cloud's extents or a fixed range with its
band height. OK / Apply write the drawing's colour map (created under
ACAD_POINTCLOUD_COLORMAP_DICT when missing) and the cloud's colouring in
one undo step; Make stylization current sets the tab's stylization.
Values outside a scheme's range take the end colours, the scan colours
or are hidden. Automation action pc_colormap edits the dialog.

POINTCLOUDATTACH opens the Attach Point Cloud dialog after the file is
chosen; its Attach button lives in the Attach Underlay list instead of a
separate Insert panel. A selected cloud brings the crop tools to the
right-edge toolbar. POINTCLOUDSTYLIZE sets the stylization with the
reference's prompts, the External References palette lists point clouds
(unload, reload, detach, path), and definitions keep the header extents.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Scans (.rcs) and projects (.rcp) are read and their points drawn as
screen-sized dots, coloured by the cloud's stylization. The cloud's
placement carries its scale and rotation; its extents and crops stay in
the scan's coordinates. A missing scan shows the extents with the saved
path. -POINTCLOUDATTACH / POINTCLOUDATTACH, POINTCLOUDCROP and the
POINTCLOUD* settings follow the reference's prompts and messages, the
Properties list is the reference's, and a locked cloud is left alone by
edits.

- Insert > Reference: the PDF Attach button becomes an Attach Underlay menu
(PDF / DWF / DGN); its face runs the last one chosen.
- DWFATTACH, DGNATTACH and ATTACH on a .dwf/.dwfx/.dgn open the Attach
dialog for that kind: sheets or models with thumbnails (one chosen),
placement, path type, file details with the sheet / model size, and for
DGN the conversion units (sub units offer 1 / sub units per master as the
scale).
- DGN V8 true colours come from the ExtendedColors record packed in the
non-model attributes stream; the colour word's high part numbers them.
- A DGN model's extent includes each text's box (its length along the
baseline and 1.5 x its height), as the reference sizes a model.
- DWFx text uses the family named in its embedded (deobfuscated) font.
- DWF contrast pivots at 0.73 once colours are turned over for a dark
background.
- Hairline strokes are drawn solid one pixel wide, and underlay rasters are
made at or below their size on screen so those lines stay unbroken.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- PDFOSNAP, DWFOSNAP and DGNOSNAP are separate; UOSNAP sets them all and
reads 2 while they differ. Enable Snap switches the selected kind's.
- DWFCLIP / DGNCLIP clip their own kind with the kind's prompts and message;
CLIP routes DWF and DGN underlays there; Enter at a corner asks again.
- The right-edge underlay tools show for DWF and DGN too (import is PDF
only).
- Underlay layers: DGN levels (V8 level table, "Default" listed as "0"; V7
used levels named from the level name table), hidden through the layer
override data with the DGN placeholder string first; a plotted DWF has
none.
- V8 colour read from its colour word (by level, index, or a true colour
drawn as its nearest index); 3D V8 elements drawn in plan (lines, line
strings, ellipses and arcs by their orientation, text); a model's extent
includes its text.
- DWF 6 TrueType text (font, height, rotation from the font opcode) and DWFx
glyph runs are drawn; the default W2D colour map is the measured one.
- Contrast pulls lightness towards a per-kind pivot as measured (PDF 0.5,
DWF 0.243, DGN 0.65).
- Zoom extents includes raster images and underlays whose frames are hidden.

Properties… in the Plot dialog froze the application on Windows.
`on_printer_properties` called `DocumentPropertiesW` with `DM_IN_PROMPT`
from inside the closure handed to `iced::window::run`, and iced runs that
closure synchronously on the winit event-loop thread. The driver's
property sheet wants to run its own modal message loop on that same
thread, so the two loops collide: the sheet is never created at all, the
window stops painting, and the thread spins at 100% of one core with no
way back.
Measured on Windows 11 x86-64: the pinned thread is the window's own UI
thread, and compstui.dll plus the driver's PrintConfig.dll are loaded
into the process, so execution does reach the driver's property-sheet
code and never leaves it. It reproduces with a physical printer as
readily as with Microsoft Print to PDF, so the mechanism was broken for
every printer, not only the virtual one named in the report.
The system's own printing-preferences UI is now started as a separate
process, which pumps its own messages and leaves ours free, so the
freeze is impossible by construction rather than merely unlikely. The
command that does it already existed for the case where no printer is
selected; it now serves a named printer too, and the in-process modal
path is gone. Preferences still reach the job: the sheet writes the
per-user DEVMODE that the plot path reads back through
`DocumentPropertiesW`, which was confirmed by changing the orientation
in the sheet and watching the value the plot path reads change with it.
The new test pins down that the printer name must reach `printui` as a
single argument: split across several it matches nothing and the process
exits 0 without drawing anything, which would be a failure with nothing
to show the user.

Frames: follow the drawing state, DWF/DGN frames, image frame profile, frame-only picking
The codec [patch] to ramox81/cadcodec@ea5edaa is dropped: that commit landed as opencadcodec#63 and main already pins ad16215, which contains it.
DWFATTACH / -DWFATTACH and DGNATTACH / -DGNATTACH attach a DWF / DWFx sheet
or a DGN (V7 or V8) model with the reference's prompts; ATTACH routes the
file types to them. The sheet or model is read into vector paths, drawn as a
transparent underlay raster (contrast, fade, monochrome and background
adjustment apply) and offers its geometry to object snaps. Definitions are
kept in ACAD_DWFDEFINITIONS / ACAD_DGNDEFINITIONS, the External References
palette lists and reloads them, and image textures get line-keeping mip
levels so thin underlay lines stay visible when zoomed out.

An image's transparency flag decides whether transparent pixels show what
is behind the image or draw in their stored colour: the image pass and PDF
plots now follow it (it was ignored, so every PNG alpha showed through).
TRANSPARENCY selects images and asks for the mode, defaulting to the first
image's current one.

- The Frames list shows the drawing's frame state (hide / display and plot /
display but not plot / frames vary), follows commands, undo and document
switches, and lists the mixed state as a disabled item.
- DWFFRAME and DGNFRAME are frame variables of their own, kept in the header,
and FRAME sets them with the others.
- Out-of-range frame values say "Requires an integer between 0 and 2." and
ask again; a set value reports "Regenerating model.".
- IMAGEFRAME is stored in the image variables as bits (2 is written as 3) and
a drawing without them uses the profile value, which setting IMAGEFRAME
updates and the settings file keeps.
- Raster images, PDF underlays and wipeouts are picked on their frame only;
underlay snap geometry is never picked.

- Pin cadcodec upstream at d290dbe (the merged underlay change) and
cadkernel at 4134ae3, which follows it; drop the fork patch, move the
plugin-API and web-worker crates and the Python plugin lock to the same
codec so one copy is built.
- "Import as block" with raster images left IMAGE entities without an
image definition: block definition now creates it like add_entity does,
through one shared helper.
- The three preview outlines (attach frame, clip boundary, import area)
stay f64 instead of casting world points to f32.
- Page size / total / PDF scale entries use the catalog's positional
placeholder; the bare {name} form failed to format in 20 locales.
- The Underlay Layers bulb is the SVG layer icon, not a text glyph.
- PDF dialogs use the shared dialog buttons and radios.
- Options opened from a PDF dialog clears its saved state on return.
- Paper-space underlay background reuses the model block handle already
resolved; dead `let _ = i` lines and a misplaced doc comment removed.

- `XREF <args>` runs whole: probing the bare verb first now opens the
External References palette, which refreshed every entry and toggled
the palette before `XREF Reload A` / `XREF ?` ran.
- Update the two tests that encoded the old behaviour: `-XREF ?` prints
the reference table, and attaching a missing file is rejected.
- Drop the duplicate "Specify On-screen" catalog entry that shadowed the
translated common key, with its unused ftl keys.
- Move `remove_pipe_symbols`' doc comment back above its function.
- Note in `document_for_save` that resolved xref content stays out.
- Gate the desktop-only preview cap and tab index for wasm.

- Add Fluent strings for all 41 keys across all 21 supported locales
Attach External Reference dialog after XATTACH / ATTACH; ATTACH routes
drawings, PDFs and images; placement prompts and messages follow the
reference (presets, Corner/XYZ, nonzero check, existing definition reuse,
missing file, self-reference); name keeps the file's case; overlay and
path type at attach; one undo step for definition and INSERT; -XREF option
prompt and `?` table; XREF opens the palette; ER alias; xref Properties
rows; dependent symbols flagged and remapped and resolved content left out
of the saved file; dialog_ok automation action; localized labels.

Tables copied from other applications into the plot styles folder were
listed but refused on selection, showing as "missing" with the reason
lost on a console: the loader failed hard on a checksum or a text length
that did not add up and on any non-UTF-8 byte — and those files carry
their descriptions in Windows-1252.
- decompress_ctb reads the file as it is: a checksum or length mismatch is
reported and read past (a genuinely cut-off file is still an error), a
zlib stream with a bad trailer is retried as raw deflate, and text that
is not UTF-8 is read as Windows-1252 (pens and colours are numbers and
unaffected; other code pages only show wrong characters in descriptions).
- PlotStyleTable carries load_warnings; every load site reports them on the
command line, so a table that needed tolerance says so.
- load_named explains itself: a .stb name says named tables are not
supported yet, a .ctb missing from the folder says which folder to copy
it into (instead of "Unknown built-in plot style").
- The Plot dialog shows the reason under the Table row (style_error) —
from a selection, from a page setup that names a table, and from the
Load… picker, whose error used to be swallowed.
- A table picked with Load… from outside the plot styles folder is copied
into it (unless a file of that name is already there), so it is listed
from then on and page setups naming it resolve after a restart.
Tests: flipped checksum, text length off by one, a short payload field,
Windows-1252 descriptions, a truncated stream, .stb and missing names.

The plot dialog asks CUPS printers for their sheets and margins; on Windows
the query was a stub, so every printer showed the paper catalogue with
unverified margins. The driver is now asked the way the plot dialog expects:
- windows_media (compiled and tested everywhere): the three parallel
DeviceCapabilities tables (ids, sizes in tenths of a millimetre, 64-WCHAR
names) become one PrinterMedia per distinct size — a rotated or
borderless twin folds onto its sheet, catalogue sheets keep their name,
unknown sizes carry the driver's — with the device's margins on every
entry and the driver's default sheet found by id or by user size.
- print_to_printer (Windows): DeviceCapabilitiesW for the tables, the
default DEVMODE for the default sheet, one portrait printer DC for the
unprintable margins (physical offsets and extents, per device — a
documented approximation). The DEVMODE fetch is shared with the print
path (with_printer_devmode).
- A direct print now asks the driver for the plot's own sheet (by id, or
as a user-defined size), so an A3 plot prints on A3 rather than shrunk
into the driver's default; a driver that refuses the sheet is asked for
the orientation alone.
- The capability cache remembers printers that could not be asked, so a
slow failing query runs once per session, not on every dialog open.
- PRINTERS <name> reports a printer's sheets, margins and default sheet.
Tests: names (NUL trim, full slot, lossy), media folding and dropping,
default by id / user size / none, DC margins, paper id lookup.

On Windows a plot with no printer chosen went to the PDF application's
bare "print" verb — whatever that application considered its default —
and a viewer without a "printto" verb (Edge, store readers) silently
dropped the printer the dialog had chosen. The dialog also never named the
system default, and a failed printer enumeration left only "Default" and
"PDF" with the reason written to a console nobody sees.
- The default printer is looked up by name (GetDefaultPrinterW) both for
the dialog's "System default printer (…)" entry and before every job.
- A pure route decision (plan_print_route) resolves "Default" to that
name and uses the PDF application only when it registered a "printto"
verb for .pdf (AssocQueryStringW); otherwise the job goes straight to
the spooler through the existing GDI path. The report says which:
"Sent to printer: NAME (direct print | via the PDF application)".
- list_printers reports the system's own error; the plot dialog shows it
under the printer row and the command line warns once. A desktop without
CUPS is an empty list, not an error.
- PRINTERS command: default printer, listed printers (or the error) and,
on Windows, the print route — a report to paste into an issue.
- Properties… on the Default entry opens that printer's preferences sheet.
- GDI path: the driver's dmSize is kept (its private data lives behind
it), the print raster is no longer memoised for the session, and a
spooled temporary PDF is removed.
Tests: route planning (named / blank / no default / printto or not), the
PRINTERS command; the two Windows-only GDI tests pass the resolved name.

- PSETUPIN / -PSETUPIN: with no arguments a file picker offers the chosen
drawing's named page setups in the Plot dialog; `PSETUPIN <file>` opens
the same chooser on that file; `PSETUPIN <file> *` or
`PSETUPIN <file> name,name` import straight away. Same-named setups are
replaced, the import is one undo step, and the report counts both.
- The Plot dialog's page-setup list gains "Import…": the chooser shows the
source drawing's setups with a tick each, All, Import and Cancel, and
selects the first imported setup afterwards. The source is read off the
UI thread with the same reader the editor uses for its own setups
(`scene::document_page_setups`), and handles that only meant something
in the source drawing (plot view, visual style) are dropped on import.
- Options → General → Plotting: "Show the page setup for new layouts"
opens the Plot / Page Setup dialog whenever a layout is created
(persisted with the plot preferences).
Tests: the document reader, the command (all / named / unknown / missing
file / undo) against a drawing saved by the app, the chooser flow, and the
new-layout option. Nine new strings in all 21 locales.
