Turning a 141k-entity layer off/on took 1.5-5 s; it now takes ~0.6-0.9 s.
- Off/freeze toggles go through invalidate_layer_visibility: entities on
the layer keep their tessellation memo (visibility gates them before
tessellation); only block users re-expand. No mesh recolor.
- The resident patch reuses a surviving memo entry instead of
re-tessellating, guarded by the same display-context hash as the full
build.
- The patch looked up `layout.order` linearly per re-shown entity, which
made turning a big layer back on quadratic.
- recolor_meshes_for_handles resolved materials for handles with no mesh.
- Wire arena: a hidden slab keeps its instances and sets a `hidden` flag
in its consts (collapsed in the vertex shader); an unchanged re-show only
clears the flag. Const writes are batched into merged spans.
- The `layer_visible` automation action indexed the document's layer
table instead of the sortable panel rows the Layer* messages use.

F12, the drafting dialog and restored settings each re-derived DYNMODE and
lost the mode on the way: F12 off set 0, so on came back as 3 even after
DYNMODE 1. set_dyn_input now makes off negative (temporarily off) and on
restore the stored mode, and the bare query prints the stored value.

The PR pinned the codec to its fork through [patch]; codec #75 is merged
upstream and main already points at it, so the patch section is dropped.
The two windows-sys features it adds (Globalization, Identity) stay.
The exponential camera step is the right call. `0.9 ^ delta` is strictly
positive for every real delta, in and out cancel exactly where the
subtraction lost a percent of the view on every round trip, and the file's
own header has promised an "exponential feel" since it was written. Three
surfaces were left behind it, and the wider range exposed a fourth thing.
The range of the system variable. 3 to 100 is the range ZOOMFACTOR has, and
the User Preferences page was built against it; `SETVAR ZOOMFACTOR` accepts
that and nothing else again. A faster wheel is the Options window's business
instead: the slider covers the variable's own range, the field beside it
reaches 500, and a read-out says what a notch actually does ("10.0% a
notch") so the number being set is readable rather than implied. A value
above 100 therefore lives only in this application's own configuration file,
where it is nobody else's to read, and a bare `SETVAR ZOOMFACTOR` still
reports it. The bounds and the clamp live in one place now
(`settings::clamp_zoom_factor`): four literal copies of `3, 100` are what
let a surface be missed in the first place.
A floating viewport in MSPACE. It zooms its own view through
`zoom_active_viewport`, which kept subtracting: the factor reached zero at
6.67 steps, so from ZOOMFACTOR 360 up every notch inside a viewport bottomed
out on the clamp — a tenfold jump a notch, and the top third of the slider
doing nothing at all. Exponential there too, from a base of 0.85 so the
default notch still moves a viewport the 15% it always has. Each surface
keeps its own long-standing feel rather than inheriting the other's.
The trackpad pinch. `pinch_zoom_steps` was calibrated against the
subtraction (`1 - step / 10 = 1 / (1 + m)`) so that a pinch of m leaves the
view exactly 1 + m times closer — the property docs/trackpad.md documents
and the reason the gesture tracks the fingers at all. Inverting the zoom law
by hand is what let the two drift apart, so the step is asked of the camera
now (`Camera::zoom_steps_for_ratio`), which cannot drift by construction.
`pinch_is_one_to_one` recomputed the old formula rather than the camera's,
so it kept passing through all of this; it zooms a real camera and measures
the distance it lands at instead.
Also: `zoom` had a floor and no ceiling, and zooming out multiplies. At
ZOOMFACTOR 500 a notch out is x2.4, so about ninety notches — a couple of
seconds of scrolling — ran the distance past what an f32 far plane
(`distance * 1000`) can hold, and the viewport went black on an infinite
projection. A degenerate pinch magnification of -1 or beyond reached the
same place through the other side. Both are bounded now.
Also: two doc comments quoted the linear law (`zoom_view_at_cursor` and the
one on `pinch_zoom_steps`), and docs/trackpad.md stated the pinch identity
and claimed the tests covered it against the camera. All updated, with what
a notch does and where each surface's range comes from written down.
Tests, each confirmed against the behaviour it describes: the zoom law at
every factor the application can hold (positive, monotonic in the setting,
in and out cancelling), the ceiling under a long scroll out in both
projections, the published inverse and what it does with a nonsense ratio,
the viewport factor and a real viewport zoomed three notches at the top of
the range, the SETVAR range including a value the Options field set, the
Options field (above 100, above the ceiling, cleared, not a number), its
agreement with the slider, Close putting both the value and the field back,
and the read-out's percentages. 1882 lib tests pass.
The two new Options strings are not in the locale catalog yet, so they
render in English until it is regenerated.

Conflicts with #1573: the locale files and the catalog take both PRs'

A Field dialog with the fields the application evaluates and the

Codec: PRs #71-#74 merged (MPOLYGON layout, multiline ATTDEF/ATTRIB DXF,
DXF MATERIAL/ACSH matrix, restorable SAT/SAB + history roots) and issues
#55 #64-#69 fixed. EntityType now boxes Surface, Extended, Table,
MultiLeader and Helix (2344 B -> 848 B per entity): construction sites
wrap in Box, the entity traits forward through Box, and the python
plugin generator converts with into(). Kernel: PR #70 (cuboid ring

Validation messages show in the dialogs, the Default value of a multi-line

Point clouds: drawn from their scans, attached, cropped and stylized.

Bug:
background_task joined the worker thread with .expect(...). Any panic
inside a background closure (decoding a malformed file, an unexpected
None) was re-raised on the main thread and took the whole application
down, even though the worker's failure was already contained.
Reproduce:
1. Run an operation that executes in a background worker, e.g. loading
or converting a deliberately corrupted file whose decoder panics.
2. Before: the process dies with the worker's panic message.
3. After: the command line shows "background task failed: <label> -
<panic>" and the application keeps running.
Fix:
The worker closure is wrapped in catch_unwind; a panic is converted to
Message::BackgroundTaskFailed(context, message) delivered back to the
update loop and surfaced as a command-line error. Each call site passes
a context label naming the operation. A failed thread join (thread
aborted) is handled the same way instead of expect().
Bug:
Message::TabClose carried a vector index captured when the view message
was built. Closing several tabs in one batch (Close All / Close Others
with unsaved-changes dialogs, or a queue of continuation updates) let an
earlier close shift the vector before a later TabClose(idx) was handled:
self.tabs.remove(idx) either panicked (index past the end) or closed a
different tab than the one the user confirmed.
Reproduce:
1. Open several drawings and modify each so they all prompt on close.
2. Use Close All, or close two tabs in quick succession so both messages
are handled in one batch.
3. Before: panic in remove(idx), or the wrong tab closes while the tab
the user chose stays open (or its work is lost).
4. After: the chosen tab closes; an id already closed by an earlier
message is a no-op.
Fix:
TabClose now carries the tab's stable u64 id, resolved to a vector
position when the message is handled, not when it is built;
PendingClose::Tab stores ids the same way. All construction sites pass
tab.id (a raw usize index no longer type-checks), and
DocTabCloseAll/DocTabCloseOthers build their queues from live ids at
handling time. A missing id means the tab is already gone, so the
handler returns Task::none().
Picking the cloud opens the Extract Section Lines from Point Cloud
dialog with the reference's settings and defaults: entire cross section
or perimeter only, maximum points to process (slider and field, with
the estimated time), output layer (Use Current or a layer), colour,
lines or 2D polylines with their width, minimum line length and connect
lines tolerance (each measurable by two points on screen), collinear
angle tolerance (0-10) and Preview result. Create extracts; with the
preview it asks [Accept/Settings/Undo] and Settings reopens the dialog.
The settings are kept for the session. Automation action pc_section.

A dockable Point Cloud Manager lists each point cloud of the drawing (only
the selected ones while any is selected) with Regions (disabled, region
data is not read), Unassigned Points and Scans, the scans named by their
file stems. Each switch shows or hides points: the cloud, its unassigned
points, all scans or one scan. The hidden set is the cloud's
OCS_POINTCLOUD_VISIBILITY extended data (scan names plus *CLOUD_OFF /
*UNASSIGNED_OFF markers, app id registered), written as one undo step and
kept on save. The drawn points skip hidden scans by their index ranges,
and the hidden set is part of the placed-cloud key. Collapse all / expand
all, row highlight and a search box that filters rows (keeping parents of
matches). POINTCLOUDMANAGERCLOSE closes it; the pc_manager_toggle
automation action flips a switch.
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.

DWFATTACH / -DWFATTACH and DGNATTACH / -DGNATTACH attach a DWF / DWFx sheet
or a DGN (V7 or V8) model with the reference's prompts; ATTACH routes the
file types to them. The sheet or model is read into vector paths, drawn as a
transparent underlay raster (contrast, fade, monochrome and background
adjustment apply) and offers its geometry to object snaps. Definitions are
kept in ACAD_DWFDEFINITIONS / ACAD_DGNDEFINITIONS, the External References
palette lists and reloads them, and image textures get line-keeping mip
levels so thin underlay lines stay visible when zoomed out.

- The Frames list shows the drawing's frame state (hide / display and plot /
display but not plot / frames vary), follows commands, undo and document
switches, and lists the mixed state as a disabled item.
- DWFFRAME and DGNFRAME are frame variables of their own, kept in the header,
and FRAME sets them with the others.
- Out-of-range frame values say "Requires an integer between 0 and 2." and
ask again; a set value reports "Regenerating model.".
- IMAGEFRAME is stored in the image variables as bits (2 is written as 3) and
a drawing without them uses the profile value, which setting IMAGEFRAME
updates and the settings file keeps.
- Raster images, PDF underlays and wipeouts are picked on their frame only;
underlay snap geometry is never picked.

#1481 skipped the shortcut whenever any text input had focus. The command
line is focused almost always, so copied drawing objects no longer pasted
with Ctrl+V. The probe now tells the command line apart from other fields:
another field keeps Ctrl+V to itself; over the command line copied objects
start PASTECLIP and plain text is left to the input's native paste; with
nothing focused text goes to the command line as before. PASTECLIP goes
through Message::Command again, which also closes the context menus. The
tests use the codec crate name and cover the command-line case.

The PDF Underlay and External Reference ribbon tabs are gone. While only
PDF underlays are selected their tools (Display in Monochrome, Create
Clipping Boundary, Remove Clipping, Show Underlay, Enable Snap, External
References, Edit Layers, Import As Objects) sit on the right-edge toolbar,
the switches drawn as on while on; while only xrefs are selected the xref
tools do. Contrast and fade stay in Properties. Toolbar tooltips are
translated.

Every message that makes another document active (switching, opening,
creating or closing a tab) resyncs the contextual tab with that document's
selection, so a tab offered for one drawing no longer stays on another.

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.

- 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 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,

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.

Attach External Reference dialog after XATTACH / ATTACH; ATTACH routes
drawings, PDFs and images; placement prompts and messages follow the

The bundled `opencad.python` plugin drives OCS through plugin API v7: all
43 canvas entity kinds, the drawing tables, and OCS's own commands run
step by step. RustPython stays in the plugin process — the plugin crate is
outside the workspace with its own lock file, so the application's own
dependencies are unchanged.
Reconciled with the plugin command work that landed as #1425, which the
branch was written before:
- Both added `impl Drop for PluginProcessInteractiveAdapter`, which git
merges silently into two impls that do not compile. One body now
cancels the command and then drops it from the runner, in that order: a
plugin waiting on a step has to be released before the runner forgets
the command.
- `execute_command` (#1425) and `run_command` (#1423) are both routes from
a script to the command line, and only the second was guarded. The
SCRIPTCOMMANDS switch and the denylist are shared now, so neither route
is the unguarded one.
- `run_command` dispatched with plugin dispatch still enabled, so a script
naming a plugin command re-entered the plugin that was blocked waiting
for it. It sets the suppression flag for the length of the dispatch, as
`execute_command` does.
The denylist read the command as typed, while the dispatcher resolves
aliases: a user-defined `Q` for `QUIT` (ALIASEDIT writes those) walked
past it. It resolves the alias first.
Also: the active-command comparison ran on every message, a mouse move
included, allocating two strings for names that are already `&'static
str`; SCRIPTCOMMANDS' own messages go through the translation macros; and
`docs/.DS_Store` (now ignored) and an unrelated RTF note about constraint
commands are out of the tree.

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.
