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.

INSERT enumerated all block names in a single prompt string, causing unbounded overlay growth and full-screen occlusion in drawings with many blocks. Replace prompt enumeration with a ranked, incrementally filtered suggestion model: BlockPicker maintains precomputed lower/upper caches and usage ranks (MRU/frequency), filters via O(n) substring scan and partial sorting (select_nth_unstable) to O(k), bounded to CLIPROMPTLINES.
Introduce CLIPROMPTLINES (Integer 0-50, Registry, default 3) for the number of temporary prompt lines above the command window; persist in UserSettings, expose via SETVAR and direct entry, enforce in CommandLine::view. Suggestion count is in direct relation to CLIPROMPTLINES (limit = clip, capped to 50).
Make search live without requiring Enter: add CadCommand::on_live_input, implement for INSERT/MINSERT via picker.set_needle, and wire to command-line input paths (Message::CommandInput, on_command_append_char, on_command_backspace). Updates use upper/lower caches and partial sort for <0.2ms per keystroke on 10k blocks, with debounced block-usage persistence (MRU cap 20, freq cap 200) to avoid I/O thrash. Correct tri_count test helper to use display_from_solid.
Change CadModule::ribbon_groups() from -> Vec<RibbonGroup> to -> &[RibbonGroup],
backed by a per-module OnceLock cache. The ribbon group tree is static data
(&'static str, Copy enums) that was being fully reconstructed — Vecs, String
clones, enum discriminants — on every call, including all three per-frame
call sites (view(), dropdown_overlay(), style_combo_overlay()).
- 7 built-in modules + 2 plugin templates cache via function-local OnceLock.
Safe because each is a unit struct with exactly one instance per process
(plugins run in isolated child processes; see PluginProcess::spawn()).
- SharedCadModule avoids the static pattern entirely, storing groups in an
instance field (owned.rs).
- IPC runner converts &RibbonGroup -> OwnedRibbonGroup directly via new
From<&T> impls, avoiding an intermediate clone.
- render_small/render_large and the two make_tool_row closures now borrow
(&RibbonItem, &[ToolDef]) instead of taking ownership, so the view loop
doesn't need to clone items to satisfy the old by-value signatures.
- Various match-ergonomics deref fixes (*id, *default, *icon, etc.) from
the &RibbonItem pattern change.
Integrate a large batch of standard CAD commands and fix several
name/behaviour mismatches, with no product references in code.
3D solids (reusing the truck B-rep pipeline):
- SLICE, INTERFERE, PRESSPULL, POLYSOLID, PYRAMID, SECTION
- 3DROTATE, 3DMIRROR, 3DALIGN (cached-solid transforms)
Annotation / text:
- ARCTEXT, SPLINEFIT (Catmull-Rom to Bezier), DIMJOGGED, OBJECTSCALE
(XData markers honoured by the existing geometry-gen / tessellator)
Blocks / misc:
- NCOPY (block-content extraction via explode_entity)
- OPTIONS, SYNCPVIEWPORTS, THICKEN, plus earlier toggles, aliases,
system variables, and layer/style/view commands
POINTCLOUD/RECAP and UNDERLAYLAYERS/UOSNAP are intentionally left out:
they require a proprietary binary / PDF-layer parser, a GPU point
renderer, and real test files.

Broad pass over the command set: integrate missing commands, wire
previously-unreachable ribbon/menu buttons, and correct name/behaviour
mismatches. Every UI command token now resolves (real handler where the
infrastructure exists, an honest "not yet implemented" status otherwise).
New commands:
- Draw: 3DPOLY, 2D solid (SO/SOLID2D), HELIX, TRACE, SKETCH, DIMCENTER
(DCE/CENTERMARK)
- Modify/inquiry: REVERSE, MEASUREGEOM (MEA), DBLIST
- Data/manage: BASE, OVERKILL (exact-duplicate removal), AUDIT (read-only
integrity report), SETVAR (system-variable get/set), SCRIPT (.scr runner),
FINDNONPURGEABLE
Behaviour fixes:
- LINE and SPLINE gain Close/Undo; AREA computes area/perimeter in f64
(correct at large coordinates)
- ATTEDIT/ATE unified so the alias and the ribbon button open the
interactive editor; -ATTEDIT is the command-line form
- Linear/aligned/radius/diameter dimensions gain a text override (Text) and
text angle (Angle) option
- INSERT gains Scale/Rotate options; COPY gains an Array option
- LINETYPE SET sets the current entity linetype; SETBYLAYER resets overrides
- UNDO accepts a step count
Integrations: standard dimension/block aliases (DLI/DRA/DAN, BMAKE,
EXPORTPDF, DDIM), drafting-aid and screen toggles (GRID/SNAP/POLAR/OSNAP/
DSETTINGS/CLEANSCREEN/QUICKPROPERTIES), viewport tiling
(CASCADE/HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL/VPJOIN), and customization entry points
(CUI/ALIASEDIT).

Each item below was gated by #[allow(dead_code)] and has zero callers
across src/ — none of them are part of any public API consumed by
external crates (this is a binary, not a library):
* modules/insert/underlay_frames.rs + edit_aliases.rs — toolbar stubs
whose `tool()` registrars were never wired into the ribbon; the
parent mod.rs inlines its own include_bytes! for the SVGs, so the
files were orphan dead weight.
* ui/snap_popup.rs:snap_marker_color — never called.
* ui/ribbon/mod.rs:last_dropdown_cmd — never called.
* ui/scale_popup.rs:anno_scale_for_label — never called.
* ui/layers.rs:color_name_to_aci — inverse of aci_color_display
with zero call sites.
* linetypes.rs:name_list — never called.
* scene/pipeline/wire_gpu.rs:new_ghost — never called.

- Redesign Insert ribbon tab with 6 groups matching screenshot layout:
Reference (Attach/Clip/Adjust large + Underlay Layers/Frames/Snap small),
Point Cloud (Attach), Block (Multi-View Block/Insert large + Create/Edit/Base small),
Attributes (Define/Edit large + Manage/Sync small),
Import (Import/Land XML), Content (Content Browser/Design Center)
- Remove Primitives group and dead box_prim/clear/cylinder/sphere modules
- Fix all compiler warnings with #[allow(dead_code)] on unused-but-intentional items

BOX, SPHERE, and CYLINDER build truck topology solids and tessellate
them into MeshModels stored alongside a Solid3D placeholder entity so
the GPU mesh pipeline renders them immediately.
EXTRUDE picks any closed 2D profile (Circle, LwPolyline, etc.),
attaches a planar face via try_attach_plane, and translational-sweeps
it (tsweep Face → Solid) along Z by the given height.
REVOLVE picks a profile, two axis points, and an angle (default 360°),
then rotational-sweeps the wire (rsweep) around the axis.
Three new CmdResult variants drive the operations:
CommitSolid3D, ExtrudeEntity, RevolveEntity.
Scene::layer_color() added to retrieve the active layer's RGBA color.

- src/modules/insert/wblock.rs: extract_block_to_doc() copies a named
block's entities into a fresh CadDocument; extract_entities_to_doc()
does the same for a selection set; layer definitions are carried over
- WBLOCK <name> writes the named block; WBLOCK * writes selected entities
- WblockSave / WblockSaveResult messages drive the async save-dialog flow
- ROADMAP.md: 1.10 WBLOCK marked ✅
