Draw a profile, extrude it, then sketch on a face of the result: the
operations were all there, but nothing turned a solid's face into the
active drawing plane, so the second half of that loop was unreachable.
UCS FACE takes a surface pick, finds the planar face under it and
builds the plane from the face normal. X comes from the Arbitrary Axis
Algorithm, so the same face always yields the same X axis and a sketch
drawn on it does not spin when the UCS is rebuilt.
UCS OBJECT adopts a planar entity's own stored axes instead of
re-deriving X, so a sketch started from a circle lines up with how
that circle is stored. It reuses the profile extraction EXTRUDE
already runs, which means anything extrudable can also be sketched on.
Bare UCS FACE starts an interactive pick that resolves through the
same inline handler, so the clicked and typed paths cannot diverge.
MOVE: Displacement, Enter at the second point uses the base as the vector.
COPY: Displacement, mOde (Single/Multiple), Undo of the last copy.
FILLET: Undo of the last fillet (the command refreshes its entity cache
through the new CadCommand::on_document_undone hook after the host undoes
the document step). CHAMFER: Multiple and Undo. OFFSET: Erase (the offset
replaces its source), Layer (Current/Source), Undo, Exit.
POLY3D, TRACE, MIRROR and MEASUREGEOM expose the keywords they already
accepted as options, so the context menu and option buttons list them.
The pinned prompt now keeps informational bracket groups such as
"[3 objects]" and only drops real option listings when the buttons take over.

Show the styled dimension and its value while placing a dimension, using
the same builder the command commits with. Each creation command
(DIMLINEAR, DIMALIGNED, DIMANGULAR, DIMRADIUS, DIMDIAMETER, DIMARC,
DIMJOGGED, DIMORDINATE, DIMCONTINUE, DIMBASELINE, QDIM) reports the
dimensions it would commit at the current stage through
`CadCommand::dimension_preview`. The application applies the current
creation style, or the base dimension's style for DIMCONTINUEMODE=1,
and the same viewport measurement scale as commit, then tessellates the
transient entity through the normal dimension renderer.
While the second definition point is being acquired, a hovered model
snap supplies a provisional viewport scale; once both points are fixed,
hovering another viewport does not change the value. Angular dimensions
never receive length compensation. Degenerate geometry, an invalid
scale, or conflicting viewports fall back to the plain rubber-band
preview so no misleading value is shown.
DIMLINEAR / DIMALIGNED / DIMRADIUS / DIMDIAMETER / DIMANGULAR created on a
sheet now report the model measurement of the geometry seen through a
viewport, at any viewport scale, while definition points, the dimension line
and the text stay in paper coordinates and the annotation keeps its sheet
size (DIMSCALE is untouched).
A viewport frame is a similarity - uniform scale plus in-plane twist - so
projecting the model span onto the paper axis and compensating gives exactly
the raw paper measurement times 1/scale. No geometry is rewritten: the
compensation is persisted once as a negative DIMLFAC override on the
dimension and applied once by the linear formatter, so preview text,
dimension text, the properties measurement row and DXF/DWG export all agree.
User measurement multipliers fold into the same magnitude, and an explicit
text override still bypasses formatting entirely, so it is never re-scaled.
Angular dimensions are never compensated - a similarity preserves angles.
Mixed input (one point through viewport A, another through viewport B or on
the sheet) is refused rather than silently mis-measured: the command line
explains why and the dimension falls back to plain paper measurement.
A dimension measured through a viewport is left unassociated: its definition
points are projected paper coordinates, so inferring a paper-space
association would bind it to geometry that is not there. PR3 records the real
dimension -> viewport -> entity chain.
The result is one ordinary dimension entity carrying one style override, so
undo/redo works through the existing history with no new out-of-document
state.
