A reference to a block with a visibility parameter gets a Custom row named
after the parameter, listing its states with the one shown selected.
Picking a state applies it the same way as the reference's visibility
grip, one undo step.

Parameters and Move/Scale action markers were drawn as overlays with no selectable authoring objects. Pick their points, labels or graphics in BEDIT to display editable definition, endpoint, reference and label grips using the existing selection overlay and point-input commands. Show the selected object's coordinates in the Properties panel.
Write edits to the native parameter/grip/action records while preserving graph identities and target bindings. Maintain Rotation radii and oriented grip directions, synchronize visibility lookup data, and retain Basepoint attribute relocation with recorded entity history. Escape cancels edits or clears selection; editor undo/redo and save/discard preserve the native changes.
Validate with self-contained viewport-input and native DWG/DXF persistence regressions, all ten parameter types, action bindings, cancellation and Basepoint attribute undo. Checks: 3 focused, 323 block (6 existing opt-in ignored), 39 dock and 23 viewport tests passed; counts overlap.
Ordinary drawing-reference grips and per-instance saved action evaluation follow in the next milestone.
Add BACTION/BACTIONTOOL workflows for compatible parameter endpoints, selected geometry and native action markers. Persist Move/Scale records, target handles and evaluation graph bindings; reuse shared adjacency editing with Lookup and the existing palette, tooltips and selection UI.
Evaluate endpoint changes in the disposable Test Block document from immutable starting geometry, with geometry/grip undo, source isolation and transformed-reference support. Preserve visibility representations and their native Basepoint anchor. Refuse unsupported options, value constraints and shared test references.
This milestone supports default Move and uniform Scale on basic drawing entities. Other actions, custom options, live preview and ordinary drawing-reference evaluation remain pending.
Validation: self-contained synthetic DWG/DXF roundtrips, graph adjacency, command cancellation/history, Test Block isolation/undo, transformed references, visibility/Basepoint and real-view palette/viewport input checks; broader block and dock suites.
Keep action object selection active across mouse picks/removals and advance only on Enter. Cover empty selection, multiple targets, Shift removal, marker placement and Move/Scale Test Block evaluation using viewport mouse events. Verified 10 focused, 320 block and 39 dock tests (6 existing opt-in block checks ignored).
The codec now holds wide EntityType variants boxed (MText, Helix,
Dimension, Hatch, Viewport, MultiLeader, Surface, Table, Ole2Frame,
Light, Extended). Constructors box their entity; nested patterns reach
a dimension through entities::dimension::as_dimension(_mut). Also
follows BlockAction::action_ids, LineTypeComplexData::source_flags and
the decimal tab stop with an explicit character.

Opening a drawing added all 50 catalog linetypes to it, so PURGE found
and removed them again after every save and reopen. Opening now only
repairs the catalog linetypes a drawing already has. The linetype
pickers (layers, properties, ribbon, attribute editor, layer states)
offer the missing catalog ones after the drawing's own, and the one
picked, or named in LINETYPE SET, is loaded on first use.

Resolve entities' XDATA class-identity keys through the live plugin manager
(new `src/plugin/entity_labels.rs`) and qualify display types as
"<Label> (<Native>)" wherever the bare native type is shown today.
- The single-entity Properties panel title (and the node graph, which shares
the same computation) becomes e.g. "Linear Element (Line)". Host-owned
classifications (xref, dynamic constraints, underlays, surfaces) keep the
native parenthesized part, so nothing they tell the user is lost.
- The records API's `entities` collection: `display_type` carries the
qualified label; the raw `type` / `record_type` fields stay native so
existing scripts, type filters, and by-type grouping keep working.
- The automation entity summary gains a `display_type` field with the same
semantics; `type` stays raw. Exposed by `query`, `user_select` sessions,
and `get_selection`.
Semantics: the identity (a stable class KEY like "CVIFC-CLASS:LINE") lives
in the entity's XDATA and round-trips the drawing; the display LABELS live
in the declaring plugin's manifest. Keys only — no display text is ever
written to the file, and the label never governs behavior (display-only: it
does not affect snapping, selection, filtering, or grouping). Gating rides
live manager state at query time, so without a loaded declaring plugin every
surface here is byte-identical to today, immediately after any reopen, with
no re-assert pass. The command-line LIST output deliberately stays on the raw
dxf name. An app id claimed by more than one loaded plugin resolves through
the first-loaded declaration and debug-logs the ignored duplicate; a
prefix-only value, an unknown key, or an empty label mapping fall back to
the native type.
Tests: resolver core (known key, foreign app ignored, record without an
identity value ignored, prefix-only / unknown key / empty label fallback,
duplicate app id first-wins), the empty-manager gating end-to-end through
`with_manager`, the "<Label> (<Native>)" form, and the byte-identical
fallbacks asserted at the panel, records, and query layers for entities
stamped with a perfect identity record.
The dimension style, multileader style and Properties pickers listed
every block of the drawing as an arrowhead, and nothing else. They now
list the 19 standard arrowheads (Closed filled, Open, Dot, Architectural
tick, Oblique, Right angle, Datum triangle, …), followed by any user
arrow block the dimension or style already uses. Picking one creates
its block (`_Open`, `_ArchTick`, …) with the geometry the reference
program writes, so other programs draw the same arrow; ODA reads the
saved file cleanly.
`_Small` now draws as the reference's "Dot small blank", a hollow circle
half the arrow size, instead of a small filled triangle.
Also drops a duplicated "DGN Import" catalog entry left by #1810/#1812.

Add the no-selection Block section with annotation, orientation, scaling, exploding, units, description and hyperlink controls. Integrate definition edits with editor history, save checkpoints and discard, and keep staged text tied to its definition.
Persist annotation and hyperlink metadata on the block record, migrate legacy marker values on edit, and honor orientation and hyperlink descriptions during block creation. Cover native DWG/DXF roundtrips and replacement after reopening.
Annotative text in DWG/DXF holds the model height of its default
(native) scale representation; other scales draw it at the ratio of the
two. OCS read the stored value as paper height and multiplied it by the
annotation scale again, so text from AutoCAD came out far too small
(#1734), and annotative text OCS wrote came out too small in AutoCAD.
- Rendering uses the active/native context ratio (1 when the object has
no representation for the displayed scale).
- TEXT with an annotative style asks for the paper height, stores the
model height of the creation scale and gets that context; MTEXT
starts from the model height; ANNOUPDATE converts a fixed style
height the same way.
- Properties: the Height row of annotative TEXT and MTEXT is the paper
height at the displayed scale, with the model height beside it, and
an edit converts back. MTEXT shows Annotative when it has contexts.

- True Color opens in RGB; the gradient field, hex and nearest index sit
at the bottom so CMYK's fourth slider doesn't move them; slider rows
closer together.
- Document tab: grid or list view (list drawn like the colour-book bars),
and Name A–Z / Z–A sorting (translated in all locales). Swatches of
colour-book colours show the colour's name.
- A colour-book colour picked as the current colour (nothing selected)
keeps its BOOK$NAME on the objects drawn with it.

An associative array is an AcDbAssocAction with an
AcDbAssocArrayActionBody, dependencies on the array INSERT, the block
holding the item references and the block holding the source objects,
and value parameters (Items, ItemSpacing, Rows, …). Selecting the array
INSERT now shows its counts and spacings in Properties; changing one
places the items again and rewrites the item references, the body's
item records and the parameter values together, in one undo step, so
the drawing stays associative when saved.
Rectangular arrays follow their RowProfile axis, AxesAngle and base
normal; polar arrays turn about the centre recovered from their first
item, Radius and StartAngle. Both match the stored items of the
associative arrays in the sample drawings (122 of 123 rectangular, all
polar items of the polar samples). Path arrays are shown read-only.

Host side of HostApi::set_reference_only: plugin-owned display geometry that
renders and snaps normally but must not be edited or picked by the person at
the screen, while the owning plugin keeps full write access through the host.
- Storage: a human-readable marker value in an XDATA record under the
host-owned OCS APPID (registered on first use; foreign values survive
verbatim; stale verbatim DWG EED is dropped on rewrite), so the flag
round-trips DWG and DXF with the entity and cannot collide with plugin
APPID namespaces.
- Grips: refresh_selected_grips yields none for a reference-only entity and
an active grip edit on a newly designated target is cancelled like a
locked-layer one.
- Picking: a reference-only wire flag extends the snap_only skips in every
hit test, so a click passes through to the editable entity underneath, and
box, window, lasso, fence and select-all gathers skip the designation;
fills, solids and instanced meshes are excluded through the shared
candidate handle set.
- Write policy: built-in user paths treat a reference-only entity like a
locked-layer one (Scene::update_entity / update_entities refuse,
erase_entities skips), while the plugin-owned variants
(update_entity_plugin / erase_entities_plugin, mirroring the
remove_entities editor split) and the whole HostSession surface write
through. The MCP entities read exposes a top-level reference_only boolean
and set_properties refuses with the reference_only failure code.
- Undo: the entity-write contract - a change joins a plugin-opened push_undo
scope, a scope-less change is one undo step of its own, refusals and
idempotent re-marks record nothing.
- Known limit: entities nested inside block instances (the block cache
rebuilds instance wires without the flag).

props_asym_scale was app-global keyed by raw handle values, but fresh documents restart numbering at seed 1, leaking one tab's unchecked Uniform box into another tab reusing the value. The set moves to DocumentTab; all uses tab-scoped. Also removes a dead destructure left in overlay.rs. Test: asym_scale_opt_out_does_not_leak_across_tabs with handle-reuse premise assert (RED first). Full suite: 2025 passed / 0 failed / 25 ignored, zero warnings.

SelectionState now holds view, gesture, input, menu and orbit sub-structs; all 450 access sites updated mechanically with no behavior change. Deletes three write-only dead fields (box_last, box_last_crossing, poly_last_crossing). Hand-rolled clears in commands and dim_viewport route through the new clear methods; bench fixture updated. Full suite: 1976 passed / 0 failed / 25 ignored.
- Place on Sheet gives its viewport a unique id (shared
`Scene::next_viewport_id`, also used by the normal viewport commit).
- Renaming a sheet's layout in an open tab records undo and marks the tab
modified; in a closed drawing the previous file is kept as `.bak`
(ISAVEBAK) before it is written back.
- New Sheet saves the drawing before the `.dst`: a failed save leaves no
sheet behind.
- Rename & Renumber Previous/Next no longer panics on an empty list.
- Leftovers: unused binding, a hard-coded localized Documents path.

A lone unlocked point cloud selected in a 3D visual style shows a move
gizmo at its insertion point: X/Y/Z arrows and XY/YZ/ZX squares. Dragging
an arrow moves the cloud along that axis, a square moves it in that
plane; the hovered part is highlighted and each drag is one undo step.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
Scans (.rcs) and projects (.rcp) are read and their points drawn as
screen-sized dots, coloured by the cloud's stylization. The cloud's
placement carries its scale and rotation; its extents and crops stay in
the scan's coordinates. A missing scan shows the extents with the saved
path. -POINTCLOUDATTACH / POINTCLOUDATTACH, POINTCLOUDCROP and the
POINTCLOUD* settings follow the reference's prompts and messages, the
Properties list is the reference's, and a locked cloud is left alone by
edits.

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 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.

Dynamic dimensions carry DIMEXO/DIMEXE/DIMASZ overrides in text-height

its sides, a selected dynamic angle shows triangle grips at the arc ends
with squares at the arc point and text, and the constraint dimension's
Properties follow the reference: kind titles, General before Constraint,
angular-precision Value and Measurement, drawn text position, reference
row order for Fit, Primary Units and Tolerances, and text/dimension line
alignment rows reading On as the aligned state.

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.

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.
