Since the stored text point became authoritative (85619f49), new linear
and aligned dimensions drew their text at the placeholder the commands
stored (the middle of the dimension line), so DIMTAD Above/Below and the
text offset had no effect; a style or override edit left the stale point
in place too.
reset_automatic_text_position clears the point of text the user did not
place, so it is laid out from the current settings. DIMLINEAR, DIMALIGNED,
DIMBASELINE, DIMCONTINUE and QDIM call it on creation; a DIMSTYLE edit, a
dimension override row and a style change call it for the dimensions they
touch. Loaded, untouched dimensions keep their pictured position.

Height and distance steps (PUSHPULL, CYLINDER, CONE, PYRAMID, BOX,
EXTRUDE) replaced the point with the cursor's screen mapping onto the
command axis, discarding an acquired 3D object snap. A genuine snap now
supplies its own coordinate along the axis, as axis grips already do.
Base steps after the first base point (BOX/WEDGE opposite corner and cube
size, CYLINDER/CONE/PYRAMID radius) read the cursor on the base plane
through that point. A base started on a raised face intersected the ray
with world XY instead, so in oblique views the footprint ran far past the
mouse.

Review of #1485: VPCLIP added the polygon it drew to the drawing before
checking its area, so a boundary with no usable area was refused but left
behind as a stray object. It is erased again. The VPCLIP prompts and
messages go through t! like the rest of mview.rs.

The single Attach button gives way to Attach XREF (XATTACH, the external
reference picker and dialog) and Attach PDF (PDFATTACH, the PDF picker and
Attach PDF Underlay dialog) with their own icons. ATTACH stays available
as a command. The Turkish label reads "PDF Bağla".

The chord direction step takes a typed angle and defaults to the last
segment's direction on Enter; CEnter's Angle and Length prompts carry the
direction switch hint as the reference words them.

- VPCLIP arc mode takes Angle, CEnter, Direction, Radius and Second pt with
the reference prompts, and CLose closes with a tangent arc; the arc math
is shared with PLINE.
- Viewport clip boundaries from MVIEW and VPCLIP stay visible; picking or
erasing a boundary takes its viewport along.
- XCLIP Clipdepth: a rejected front plane keeps the old front plane and
clears the back plane.

- PDFIMPORTIMAGEPATH names the image extraction folder: relative to the
PDF's folder (default "PDF Images"), absolute as given, "." for none.
- Every import of the session gets the next prefix (PDF_, PDF2_, PDF3_ ...),
also when the same file is imported again.

- CLIP continues as IMAGECLIP on a raster image and as VPCLIP on a layout
viewport, with the reference prompts and stored data.
- Image clip boundaries sit on pixel centres, OFF only clears the display
flag, and an inverted boundary cuts the image.
- VPCLIP polygon (Arc/Length/Close/Undo), clipping object and Delete; the
viewport shrinks to the boundary's exact extents, view kept.
- XCLIP Clipdepth: Remove clears only the plane asked, a front plane behind
the back one is rejected with the reference message.
- Attached and imported images carry the reference display flags.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- Unlayered raster images go with the PDF layer drawn last before them.
- Circular Bezier arcs import as arcs: bulged polyline segments with Join,
ARC entities without it; straight chains still join.
- Imported PNGs go to "PDF Images" next to the PDF; import blocks are
numbered imp31, imp32, ...
- Background darkness is its HSL lightness below one half.
- All chosen pages attach at the same insertion point.
- PDF geometry snaps as separate pieces: centre from the rim, intersections
and perpendiculars.
- Automation: snap query with an optional base point.

The codec and kernel repositories and crates are renamed opencadcodec and
opencadkernel. Inside OCS they are depended on under short keys, so code
reads `codec::`, `kernel::` and the new `graph::` (opencadgraph, the node
graph engine). File-format and protocol spellings stay as they were: the
ACIS product id `acadrust`, the ACADRUST_* switches and the plugin
version keys `acadrust_version` / `acadrust_source`.
A button left of MCP on the command line opens a translucent node graph
over the viewport, with a palette of object, input, math, logic, list,
text and geometry nodes added by click or drag. An object node owns
drawing entities and its rows are the Properties panel's own rows for
them: the single-object page is extracted from refresh_properties as
entity_property_sections, values use the control protocol's
property_json, and writes go through set_property_value with a property
target override, so the panel, MCP and the graph share one read/write
path. A list reaching an object row makes one entity per element. Each
graph action is one undo step; the canvas pans and zooms.

- The palette launcher arrow is recoloured from the theme like the other
interface icons, instead of drawing the raw SVG.
- The Frames dropdown shares one icon constant; its entries were left
misindented.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- An inverted clip's roundtrip record goes in the filter's extension
dictionary through the codec's own API (ensure_extension_dictionary /
xrecord / extension_dictionary_handle) instead of a scan of every
object, which the renderer ran for each clipped reference.
- Pin cadcodec 1c3be0c (the DXF writer now links a spatial filter's
extension dictionary, so that record is not left unreferenced) and
cadkernel deb529b; plugin crates and the Python plugin lock follow.
- The XCLIP boundary preview stays f64.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
- 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.

The ribbon definition beside each command stays the one source of its
label and icon. One cached lookup (modules::registry::ribbon_commands)
walks the core ribbon and the expanded Draw/Modify panels; the shortcut
list, the right-click menu, the grip menu and the command-line
suggestions read it.
- Context menu: command rows carry their ribbon icon; Undo/Redo and
Isolate use interface glyphs, Draw Order its ribbon icon; icons and
the caret fade on disabled rows.
- Grip menu: Stretch, Move, Rotate, Scale, Mirror and Copy icons.
- Suggestions: an icon column, aligned when a command has none.
- Shortcut list: dropdown entries were read as (label, command) though
the ribbon stores (command, label), so they never got a label or icon.
Reworked from #1449.

The operations docs/automation/API-SPEC.md (PR #1383) describes, brought
over from huaninstratech/OpenCADStudio so the specification no longer runs
ahead of the code:
- entity CRUD: entities_create, entities_delete, entities_transform,
entities_copy_to, and `where` filters on query
- blocks and export: block_define, block_delete, a normalised wblock
- publishing: layout_create, page_setup_set, plot (per_page included)
- metadata: sysvar, xdata_set / xdata_get, file_identity
- collections: group_create, selection_set_save / load
- control plane: batch, events, view_focus, close
- the REST transport: `--http <port>`, the /api/v1 routes and their
OpenAPI 3 description
- person-in-the-loop picks: user_select and getpoint, hosted by the GUI
over the same REST routes, with on-screen pending signals
Taken from the fork's commits b7a7ed80, 69396b42, 64f1cf6a, c3aafc8e,
bb5a7bfa, 52317a5c, 50d293ba, b90e194f, 517c6397, 53a5c4c9, a49ac045,

fd5bc14d, 485fac61 and 2c5fc994.
Left out on purpose: 37de5a46 also removed the donation surface (the
Patreon fetch, the donation prompt, the Start-page supporters rail, the
DONATE command and its locale strings) and replaced the About dialog's call
to action; that is the fork's own product decision and stays out. The
fork's version bump and its unrelated IFC/BIM work are not part of this.
Adapted while porting: the REST server and the GUI bridge are desktop-only
and a template start is refused in the web build, so the wasm target still
compiles; the two plot tests read the PDF through the shared stream helper,
because exported streams are Flate-compressed; the benches set the new
crosshair field; comments and docs describe each operation in its own
terms rather than by another product's API names.

The reference follows the cursor while its insertion point, scale or
rotation is asked (preview-only PScale/PX/PY/PZ/PRotate included); a
relative path chosen before the drawing had a file becomes relative on the
first save, and relative paths start from "./" at or below the drawing's
folder; -XREF name options report "No matching xref names found.".

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.

The command deleted the dimension and left a literal constraint behind. The
reference keeps the dimension, drives it with a new parameter and gathers
only associative dimensions, saying how many objects it dropped.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
The second line kept its midpoint and turned around it, so it settled at a
different offset than the reference, which keeps the line's start along the
first line and moves it to the distance the picked point had from it.

Implement the complete Block Definition dialog window launched via BLOCK
and BMAKE commands, featuring standard CAD layout, workflows, and entity
creation pipelines.
- Dialog UI & Layout:
- 2-column compact CAD grid with synchronized vertical heights (580 × 390px).
- Editable combobox with existing block names, invalid character validation,
and inline redefinition badge.
- Multi-line text editor widget for block descriptions (replacing single-line input).
- Quick Select (QSELECT) button integration restoring dialog state upon completion.
- Confirmation guard when attempting to redefine an existing block definition.
- Centered radio buttons, clean coordinate inputs, and accessible keyboard shortcuts.
- Base Point & On-Screen Workflow:
- BlockOnScreenCommand strictly enforces prompt sequencing: Base point is
prompted before object selection.
- Dynamically recalculates world_to_block and block_to_world affine transforms
when base point is specified on-screen, preventing stale (0,0,0) normalization.
- Supports Retain, Convert to block (INSERT placement), and Delete modes.
- Explode Enforcement:
- Guarded EXPLODE command to prevent decomposing blocks flagged as non-explodable.
- Dynamic Themed Icons:
- Added pick_point.svg, select_objects.svg, quick_select.svg, and warning_triangle.svg.
- Routed all icons through the semantic theming engine so line work (#B4B6B9)
and accents (#6DB7ED) adapt automatically to the active theme.
- Tests:
- Added unit tests for retain/convert/delete modes, redefinition, explodable flag,
on-screen base point transform recalculation, and command sequencing.
#1447 branched from the same commit as #1443 and rewrote the radial
dimensional constraint a second time, so the two designs had to be
reconciled rather than stacked. #1447's is the one kept: it covers
DCRADIUS and DCDIAMETER through one command, places the dimension by the
direction the location was picked in rather than storing a text point,
and names the parameters `radN` / `diaN`. #1443's radial command result,
its entity builder call and its follow-up code are gone; its own
independent work stays — the ribbon's small-button grid and tool
descriptions, the magnitude reading of a negative radius, and the centre
anchor a parameter edit resizes a circle about.
The DIMCONSTRAINT default follows #1443: running DCRADIUS or DCDIAMETER
directly leaves it alone, and the Dispatch arm sets it when DIMCONSTRAINT
is what asked for the command.
The second commit's radial drawing — the dimension line broken around the
text, the elbowed leader, the centre-mark and arrowhead rules — applied to
every radius and diameter dimension, not just a constraint's, and three
layout-parity tests said the old layout was the measured one. It is now
scoped to a dimensional constraint's own dimension, as #1443 scoped its
version, and ordinary radial dimensions draw as they did.

The commands ask for the circle or arc themselves, report the measured
size, take a dimension line location and then the value or name and
value, creating a radius or diameter dimension as the constraint's
dynamic dimension with a radN/diaN parameter, refusing a second radial
constraint on the same object and any non-positive value.

Select arc or circle / Dimension text / dimension line location / value or
name prompts with a radN parameter, invalid-selection, miss, duplicate and
invalid-expression messages, negative values as magnitudes, a dynamic radial
dimension on the constraints layer drawn as the reference does (mid-radius
text on the center-to-rim line, no hook, no center mark, one text grip), the
stored text position following the radius, center-anchored resizing, the
Properties title and Constraint section, DIMCONSTRAINT's Radius default,
the small-button Dimensional ribbon grid and tooltip descriptions.

Three-point angular dimensions take their sweep from the two rays and the
arc point (extension lines follow their own rays, straight and reflex
angles draw), dynamic angular dimensions store no text point so DIMTAD
places the text beside an unbroken arc, and dynamic dimensions carry a
DIMGAP override of a quarter text height.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
DCANGULAR picks two lines, an arc or three points, takes the dimension
line location to choose the sector and the value or name, and creates the
dynamic two-line or three-point angular dimension driven by an angN
parameter. Reference messages for invalid, repeated and parallel sides,
existing names and invalid names; angle values display within one turn at
the angular precision; the first side (or vertex and first point) stays
when the value changes; the ribbon Dimensional panel follows the reference
order.

Point & line and 2Lines take a text baseline or an ellipse axis as the
line; a zero value folds the points onto the first one; 2Lines turns the
second line about its start. The Properties Constraint section edits
Constraint Form (Dynamic on the *ADSK_CONSTRAINTS layer, Annotational on
the current layer), Reference (driven constraint in parentheses whose
parameter follows the measurement) and Description (stored with the
parameter and the native variable). Dynamic dimensions keep a 12 px text
and 8 px arrows at any zoom, drop trailing zeros and show formulas as
`fx: len=d1*2`; the hidden constraints layer stays out of the layer lists.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
DCFORM sets the annotational or dynamic form and continues into the
DIMCONSTRAINT option prompt, whose wording and last-used default match the
reference. -PARAMETERS manages parameters from the command line; a
double-clicked constraint dimension opens its value prompt. Dynamic
dimensions rescale on every camera change and their display overrides stay
out of the saved file. A driving dimension between an entity's own ends no
longer has its length retained, so a new value moves the second point along
the dimension axis; parameter edits hold the first constraint point.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
DCALIGNED opens with `[Object/Point & line/2Lines] <Object>`. Point & line
asks `Specify constraint point or [Line] <Line>:` then `Select line:` (or the
line first and `Select constraint point:`), measures perpendicular to the
line from the constraint point to the line end nearest to it, and stores a
directed distance with the line as direction reference. 2Lines asks
`Select first line:` and `Select second line to make parallel:`, adds a
Parallel constraint solved with the first line pinned, then measures on the
solved geometry between the nearest ends. Unsupported line picks report the
reference's message; the same measurement again reports `The constraint
already exists on the selected objects.` and ends the command; an invalid
expression reports both reference lines and asks again.
The offered default and seeded expression carry twelve significant digits;
a typed value moves the second point (or the other object) while the first
point and its measured line stay, negative values keep their sign in the
parameter and use their magnitude, zero folds the points together, and the
dynamic dimension's origins follow every solve. The lock mark sits after the
text, a selected dynamic dimension shows triangle grips at its points and the
text square, and its Properties show the Constraint section (Name and
Expression editable) plus Text rotation.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <[email protected]>
The dynamic dimension of a dimensional constraint is now linked in the
drawing file (AcDbAssocDependency + AcDbAssocDimDependencyBody on the
constraint node), reread on load, hidden by DCHIDE/DYNCONSTRAINTDISPLAY
and never plotted; it carries a lock mark before its text. New
CONSTRAINTNAMEFORMAT and DYNCONSTRAINTDISPLAY variables and the
DIMCONSTRAINT option front end. A transformed entity whose own end points
a driving dimension measures keeps only the first constraint point, so a
scaled line returns to its dimension value.
