A DIMENSION references the block "that contains the entities that make up
the dimension picture", and that block is the picture: AutoCAD requires
it and draws it, BricsCAD draws it when present and only renders from the
dimension variables when it is missing. OCS re-derived the picture from
DIMVARS every time and ignored the block entirely.
That works while a style agrees with what the drawing actually drew. A
Revit-exported schedule here does not: its style stores DIMTXT already in
drawing units beside a DIMSCALE meant to scale it, so the text came out
three hundred times too tall, and each dimension carries a DIMFXL
override that is likewise already in drawing units, so the extension
lines ran nearly a million units past the points they measure.
Neither is guesswork about units now. The block holds the geometry the
drawing was authored with, so it is drawn: the contents are already in
world space and the block's base point is the origin, and the identity
instance that carries them exists only to reuse the scene graph's
ByBlock / layer-0 colour resolution. Every wire answers to the dimension,
so a pick still selects the dimension rather than one of its pieces.
Re-deriving stays as the fallback for a dimension with no block.
Annotative dimensions keep the old path: their several representations
are separate blocks and choosing between them is what the annotation
machinery already does, while the doctrine above assumes one picture.
A picture is only good while its inputs hold, so it is dropped when they
change: editing a dimension's properties, and saving the dimension style
it is drawn with. Entity edits already dropped it.

Replace the raw sentinel input with typed CAD lineweight options so special
values display correctly and unsupported values cannot be entered.
Refs #522
Property edits on a hatch were invisible: fills render from the
prebuilt model cache, which move/copy refreshed but the properties
path never did — so a pattern-scale change (which must also rescale
the stored final pattern lines by the ratio) changed nothing on
screen (#415). invalidate_property_targets now rebuilds the edited
fill's cached model via Scene::refresh_fill_model.
The background row gains an on/off box: off removes the
HATCHBACKGROUNDCOLOR record entirely (the colour could never be
reverted before), on seeds ByLayer. The codec covers the full
colour-method range (ByLayer / ByBlock / RGB / ACI) and the backdrop
resolves ByLayer / ByBlock through the style chain. "More Colors…" on
the background picker now opens the palette window targeting the
background colour — it used to just close the picker.

Double-click rename did nothing and ratio edits were lost when switching
scales — and on drawings saved by other programs nothing could be edited
at all.
- Fallback scales were virtual (no Scale objects), so edit/rename no-oped;
materialize the standard set into real staged objects when the manager
opens, reverted on close unless applied.
- On third-party DWGs the mutators walked the root named-objects dict ->
ACAD_SCALELIST, which can be unreachable, and matched dictionary keys
that are internal ids (*A1, A0) rather than scale names. Locate the
scale-list dict robustly and match scales by object name + handle.
- Rename rows inline via double-click; repair a dangling current-scale
header pointer on staged rollback.
- Stage text/mleader style-manager edits on switch so they persist like
the scale manager.

Rewrite the in-app MTEXT editor to run on acadrust's structured
MTextDocument model end-to-end: load via parse_mtext, edit a flat Cell
model, serialize via to_mtext_string. Retires the hand-rolled format-code
string handling, the parallel visible_spans parser, the composed_value
prefix, and the Edit-raw-code tab.
Selection and copy:
- double-click selects the word, triple-click selects all (click-counting)
- Ctrl+A selects all text
- Ctrl+C copies the selected text to the clipboard
Formatting:
- per-selection Bold/Italic/Underline/Overline/Strike/Case/Alignment
- Bold renders as a visibly thicker SDF pen, keyed (family, char, bold)
through the whole text pipeline; the resolved style font name is stamped
so the \f...|b1; code survives serialization
- per-selection font and color changes
- editor color dropdown reuses the Properties panel color selector
Global toolbar defaults (font/color/oblique/width/tracking) fold onto the
document as real span properties instead of a leading code prefix; a
trailing empty paragraph is preserved so Enter at the end keeps its line.

Replace the custom model_tiles tiling with iced 0.14 pane_grid as the layout
source of truth, while paper-space floating viewports are left untouched (they
overlap/free-place, which pane_grid cannot model).
Each Model pane is its own shader widget rendering its camera into the pane
bounds; the renderer Primitive carries a base_slot so several shader widgets
share the type-keyed MultiPipeline storage on disjoint slots. A second pane_grid
of transparent mouse_areas (plus on_resize) layers above the crosshair overlay
to receive input — the overlay's Hidden cursor interaction otherwise levitates
the cursor and starves any layer beneath it. The active pane follows the cursor
(hover-activate), and grid / crosshair / UCS icon render per pane while the
ViewCube and render-mode picker stay on the active pane only.
Split / close / VPORTS presets and the VPort table round-trip now drive
pane_grid (guillotine reconstruction on load). Adds drag-to-swap via a controls
bar handle with a ghost-card preview, visible pane dividers from the pane_grid
split regions, a default model background of RGB(33,40,48), and removes all the
superseded custom-tile code.

Break up the four giant files (~29k lines total) into focused submodule
directories, one concern per file. Pure mechanical moves — behavior is
unchanged.
- app/update.rs (9650) -> app/update/{mod,viewport,command,style,file,
dynamic,dialog,util}. The 384-arm update_inner match stays in mod.rs
with thin delegating arms; the 66 fattest arm bodies move to topic
methods. Arm set preserved exactly (384 -> 384).
- scene/mod.rs (9017) -> scene/{mod,entity,tess,hittest,layout,paper,
mspace,project,selection,modify,group_layer,preview}. The impl Scene
body is split across files via inherent-impl-per-file; struct, ctor,
fields and load-time helpers stay in the root. fn count 123 -> 123.
- app/commands.rs (6082) -> app/commands/* grouped by command family.
The 233-arm dispatch match becomes source-ordered per-family
dispatch_* handlers, preserving first-match precedence (233 -> 233).
- app/view.rs (4686) -> app/view/{mod,overlay,modal,viewcube,controls}.
Largest file drops from 9650 to 3343. Builds clean; app launches and
loads plugins with no panic.
