Plot dialog:
- "Units" (millimetres / inches) is the page setup's own unit: the offsets
and the custom scale are shown in it, the stored ratio converts with it
so the plotted result and the paper space's unit stay the same
- "Custom: [paper] mm = [drawing] units" spells the picked scale in that
unit and accepts a typed ratio, which selects the list's name for it or
becomes a ratio entry of its own
- "Hide paperspace objects" is the page setup's plot-hidden flag; it is no
longer derived from the "Hidden Line" shade mode
- "Save changes to layout" (paper layouts, on by default) writes the dialog
into the layout when a plot is sent; previews never touch it
- offsets are labelled in the page-setup unit and kept in millimetres in
the file
System variables (typeable, through SETVAR, listed by SETVAR ?):
- PLOTOFFSET, PAPERUPDATE, PLOTROTMODE, PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE and
BACKGROUNDPLOT live with the persisted plot preferences: the plot origin
counts from the printable corner unless PLOTOFFSET says the paper edge;
a printer that does not list the sheet either warns or switches to its
default sheet; transparency can be forced on or off; BACKGROUNDPLOT bit 1
is the dialog's background switch and bit 2 drives batch plots
- CTAB and TILEMODE read and switch the current layout
Tests cover every new control and variable; six new strings in all 21
locales; the Plot dialog grows to 940×690 for the two extra rows.

Retaining a line's length added a P2PDistance constraint, whose gradient
divides by the current distance. For a zero-length line the solver got a NaN
Jacobian and its SVD fallback never returned, freezing the editor (e.g.
ECONSTRAINT on a line drawn by clicking one point twice). Hold coincident
endpoints together with per-axis differences instead.
Control-point splines read without knots are given a degree their control
points can carry (at most n - 1) and a clamped knot vector when a drawing
loads. Generating knots for fewer points than the degree underflowed during
DWG write: a panic in debug builds, an unbounded allocation in release, and
reachable from autosave. A lone control point with no knots or fit points is
purged as corrupt.

Right-to-left line reordering walked each atom's byte range and sliced the
line at every byte, panicking when a neutral multi-byte character such as a
guillemet preceded the first strong character. Walk characters instead.
FIND/FINDALL located the REPLACE keyword in a Unicode-uppercased copy and
sliced the original with that offset; uppercasing can change byte length
(dotless i, ligatures). Uppercase ASCII only, which keeps offsets aligned.
FILLET and CHAMFER inline R/D shorthands now test the original text before
slicing past the first character.

The Display page could only take a typed #RRGGBB, which is precise but
no way to choose a colour by eye. The swatches are now buttons that
open a wheel.
The wheel does not replace the hex field, it sits beside it: typing an
exact value stays the quickest way to reproduce a known colour. On
submit it hands a hex string to the existing ModelSpaceBgChanged and
friends rather than writing the config itself, so the two routes
cannot drift apart on validation, persistence, or the MatchTheme
fallback an empty field triggers.
Also stops the Browser shipping in the default dock layout. It was
added to the right edge, which shifted the block palette to index 1
and broke four dock tests that encode the existing arrangement. Those
tests were right and the change was wrong: the earlier commit claimed
to leave the layout alone. BROWSER now docks the panel on first use,
so nobody's edges rearrange on upgrade for a panel they never asked
for.
CREATESKETCH opens a sketch on the current UCS, or on one of the three
origin planes with XY, XZ or YZ. FINISHSKETCH closes it again.
Nothing here is new machinery: the plane is a UCS, the square-on view
is PLAN, the drafting aids are the snapper. What the pair adds is
holding them together and putting them back afterwards, including the
snap master state, so a user who works with snapping off gets that
back rather than silently keeping it.
Squaring the view up is not cosmetic. Drawing on a plane seen nearly
edge-on is the main way geometry lands somewhere the user did not
mean, because a few pixels of cursor travel cover a long way in world
space.
A sketch is a mode rather than a document object, so what it produces
is ordinary model-space geometry and the file stays a DWG other
software can open. Whatever was drawn becomes the Previous selection
set, so EXTRUDE then Previous consumes it without making the user
reselect a profile they just finished.
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.
Comments and the Options help text describe the behaviour of commercial
solutions without naming any product. The command menu puts the command's
keywords directly under Enter / Cancel, with Recent Input and Snap
Overrides below them, so the choices that change from step to step are the
closest to the pointer.

The command menu now follows the commercial solutions' layout row for row: Enter, Cancel,
Recent Input ▸, the command's keywords, Snap Overrides ▸ (every object snap
with its glyph, Mid Between 2 Points, None, Osnap Settings…), then Pan and
Zoom. Pan / Zoom run transparently while a command is active ('PAN,
'ZOOM …): navigation modes leave the command untouched and an interactive
ZOOM Window parks it and resumes it afterwards. Rows carry an icon gutter
so labels align; the Enter row shows a default value ("<0.5000>") as its
hint instead of a second finish row.
ARC gets the commercial solutions' prompt flow with all keywords: start [Center], second
point [Center/End], end; after Center: end [Angle/chord Length]; after
End: center [Angle/Direction/Radius]; Enter continues tangent. The
previous default (Center/Start/End with method codes) stays as ARC_CSE.
Object snaps gain a one-shot "None" override. New strings in all locales.

The viewport context menu is now built from a pure model
(ui::popup::context_menu) rendered by the overlay: while a command runs it
offers Enter / Cancel / every keyword of the command's options() with the
keyword shown as a hint, a Recent Input submenu and M2P; when idle it offers
Repeat, Recent Input, Clipboard, Undo/Redo with history labels, the edit
block (Erase/Move/Copy/Scale/Rotate/Mirror/Draw Order), Isolate, Pan/Zoom,
selection tools, Properties and Options. The default row is anchored under
the pointer and the menu is keyboard-navigable (arrows, Enter, mnemonic
letters; any other key closes it and types into the command line).
Right-click behaviour is a user preference (Options → User Preferences,
SHORTCUTMENU / SHORTCUTMENUDURATION): shortcut menu (commercial solutions default),
time-sensitive, or the previous Enter-first cycle.
LINE gains options() (Close/Undo/eXit).

- IMAGEEMBED: pack raster images into OLE2FRAME entities so a .dwg is
self-contained; 'Embed Image' entry in the XREF attach menu; control/MCP
op embed_image for external tools; dxf_name for OLE2FRAME queries.
- Scene: populate_images_from_document now rebuilds OLE2FRAME and PDF
underlay models too (they used to vanish after any XREF op).
- Printing: add PRINTER_ENUM_NETWORK pass when listing printers; GDI
spooler fallback (hayro raster at 300 DPI + StretchDIBits) for hosts
whose PDF handler registers no print verb; DEVMODE orientation with a
90-degree raster rotation fallback for v4 drivers; fix the fit-scale
precedence bug that printed blank pages.
- PDF export dialogs on Windows use the async file dialog so the native
overwrite confirmation no longer deadlocks the UI thread.
- Plot dialog: persist the chosen printer (saved on selection) and the
picked plot window across sessions; page setups with no device no
longer reset the output device.
- Community fonts: detect unresolvable .shx references on open and offer
a download from the repository's fonts/ folder (contribution guide in
fonts/README.md); custom font source URL setting for intranet font
servers; downloaded fonts resolve from the per-user fonts directory.
Refresh associations after complete SpaceMouse camera updates and recognize imported paper-space owners without Layout objects. Use kernel containment, intersection, perpendicular and spline tangent solving; pin cadkernel 7ce27f2 and add regressions.
XREF command with status, reload, unload, detach, path, pathtype, bind, overlay, and attach options, plus guided XATTACH with unique naming and placement prompts.
Point input now keeps an `AcceptedSnap` alongside each point a command
collects: the paper point, the model point it came from, the viewport and
frame it was seen through, and the geometry identity the snap engine
attributed. Interactive picks record in the click handler, typed / dynamic /
headless points record in `feed_command`, and the list is cleared whenever a
command starts or the active space changes. Commands that don't care keep
consuming the plain paper point unchanged; PR2 reads the model point and
frame, PR3 the source.
Dimension association inference is suppressed when the dimension's points came
through a viewport. Inference matches geometry against the dimension's own
definition points in whatever space it is handed, so paper definition points
projected from a viewport would associate with unrelated paper-sheet geometry
at those coordinates, or match model geometry using paper coordinates. An
empty source list makes `attach_dimension_association` a no-op. PR3 replaces
this with real viewport-aware associations.
