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).
Add native Basepoint placement and relocation, shared insertion and Test Block anchor behavior, and attribute-safe coordinate reframing. Wire native Lookup parameter placement and the Property Lookup Table editor through the existing palettes and BLOOKUPTABLE.
Stage input columns, rows, reverse lookup and audit across multiple tables; apply all drafts atomically as one undo entry. Persist native Lookup actions and graph dependencies while preserving unrelated objects and IDs. New inputs cover Linear and Polar distances; reference Lookup evaluation and geometry actions remain separate work.
Pin codec c418d92, kernel 0f6f225 and graph dcb9eda for correct R2010 inline constraint-group decoding. The codec regression uses a checked-in synthetic DWG and reproducible generator, with normal self-contained loading and edited DWG/DXF tests. Keep dock control tests independent of scene adapter warning dialogs in software snapshots.
Validation covers native round trips, all 17 research fixtures, graph preservation, insertion and attributes, staged editing, undo/cancel, and real palette/dialog controls.
Zoom Extents skips an insert's marker wire and counts solids through
their meshes, but only model-space meshes were read: a drawing whose
solids all sit in blocks had no extents and the view did not move.
The instanced block meshes now count with their placed bounds.

A block defined from objects (imported STEP products, pasted blocks,
recreated or redefined definitions) left its solids, surfaces and meshes
without the instanced block meshes they draw through, so their inserts
showed nothing until the drawing was reopened.

ACIS text files come in one object per body (3DSOLID, REGION or SURFACE).
STEP B-rep models become a block per product with component inserts at
their placements, scaled to the drawing's units; IGES manifold solids come
in as 3DSOLIDs scaled to the drawing's units with their colours. Splines
that are exactly analytic shapes are kept as those shapes. Windows
metafiles become a WMF<n> block of polylines and text fitted to half the
view, placed at its top-left corner or by WMFIN's insertion prompts. The
Import File window lists the four formats as supported.

Name clashes, DGNIMPORTMODE and prefixing as the reference names them;
V7 cell copies, unshared cells and mirrored placements as blocks;
justified text and text nodes placed at their justification points with
the reference's MTEXT contents; B-spline curves as splines and 3D arcs and
ellipses in their own planes; every V8 level as a layer; design models
only; reference attachments translated, ignored or attached as underlays.
The colour index palette comes from the codec fix it depends on.

A listed font is compared only from its .shx file or the embedded stroke
font of that name; no TrueType or alias stand-in. Objects with a diagonal
over five times the selection's mean diagonal join no group. The created
MTEXT height is the mean of the character sizes. Text styles look a bare
font name up as .shx first, and a missing .shx name never draws with a
TrueType face. TXT2MTXT measures TEXT to its last inked stroke.

- The page transform is read as 16.16 fixed point held in single precision
and each user-space coordinate as a single-precision value kept to six
decimals, so imported coordinates match the reference to the last digit.
- Paths wholly outside the page (crop box) or the current clip are left out.
- The page's /UserUnit scales the import.
- Unreadable files (no trailer, empty, not a PDF) print the "This file
cannot be opened." block; encrypted files are asked for again silently.
- Page prompt: digits only, "There is no N in <file>." past the last page;
page list prompt keeps asking with "Please enter page number or *.".
- Automation: pdf_import_pick (the path the next PDF picker returns) and
pdf_import_dialog (page / on_screen / scale / rotation / ok / cancel).

Opening a drawing no longer drops entities with its own sanity checks or
rewrites knotless splines; recovery runs the codec's repair and records
its actions and unresolved issues in the drawing's notifications. Xref
merges keep every entity. The dropped-entity counts, their command-line
warnings, recovery report rows and the automation "purged" field go with
the guard.
AUDIT now reports the codec's audit (counts plus the first 50 issues) and
asks whether to fix; Yes applies the codec repair as one undo step.
Cargo: codec 325fa98, kernel dfca391, graph 5d4e713.

Text blocks join side by side or stacked within two heights; oversized
shapes join no group; the group share counts selected objects; Latin-1,
Latin Extended, Greek, Cyrillic and the diameter sign are compared from
the font's own glyphs with look-alikes resolved to the lowest code; a lone
circle reads 0; MTEXT direction is by style. PDFIMPORT keeps drawing order.

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.

EED names its application by APPID handle. Copying between drawings
(paste, COPYTO, block palette insert, REFEDIT) kept the source
drawing's handles, so the saved DWG named APPIDs it did not have and
the reference program refused to open it (xdata.cpp eInvalidInput).
The copy now carries the APPID records its XDATA names, registers the
missing ones, and re-points the EED at them.
COPYTO also skipped every layer the target lacked (the check tested
the source) and filled the target with the whole linetype catalog; it
now copies the missing layers and loads only the linetypes used.

codec 85bb5a2 fixes the BLOCKVISIBILITYPARAMETER DXF defect: AcDbEvalExpr
ends after 90/98/99 when the eval has no value instead of emitting a stray
70 -9999. Readers rejected that group 70 ('Unexpected DXF group code: 70')
and discarded every visibility-bearing drawing on open.
Homebrew dropped --no-quarantine and installs casks only from a tap, so
the README's direct-URL install no longer worked, and the cask still
pointed at v0.4.8.

A block whose content is only 3D solids leaves a marker wire carrying
its insertion snap, and that point counted as drawing extent: a
georeferenced block inserted at the origin made ZOOM E frame the
origin and the model together, 860 km wide. Extents now skip those
markers; the solids count through their meshes. The marker's snap also
took the insertion point straight from the OCS, so a mirrored insert's
snap sat on the far side of the origin.
ZOOM All fitted the limits alone. In a 3D view it is now Zoom
Extents, and in plan it frames the limits together with the extents.
Instanced solids summed their rotated point and translation in f32
before meeting the eye, which cost up to half a metre at survey
coordinates; the large terms now cancel first.

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.

The layout tab's right-click menu gains New Layout, Copy, Page Setup
and Plot beside Rename and Delete. Copy makes "<name> (2)" with the
source's page setup, sheet view and every paper-space object,
viewports included, and opens it.

Options > Selection gains "Selection highlight opacity" and "Selection
highlight extra width". Below full opacity the object's own colour
shows through the highlight. The selection overlay draws with its own
copy of the frame uniforms: transparency on, and every line widened by
the extra width. Drawings opened at startup now get the selection
colour settings too; they used to keep the defaults until a setting
changed.

Drafting Settings > Snap and Grid gains "Display grid axis lines",
kept with the other grid settings; the grid itself stays as it is.

Only the definition's entities crossed drawings: its record's object
graph (parameters, visibility states, grips) stayed behind, and a
reference showing an evaluated copy lost the link to its definition.
The clipboard now captures the graph and the dynamic definition of an
evaluated reference, and paste and the block palette's insert-from-file
recreate them on the new records, re-pointing members and element tags.

COPY cloned the reference's AcDbRepData without its handle, owner or
representation index, and both references kept sharing one evaluated *U
block, so a state picked on either changed both. The clone now names
itself and is indexed; a state change gives a reference whose *U other
references share its own copy first.

Each picked region matched every edge of its rings against every
boundary source of the drawing, twice: with 65,000 sources a click took
over 30 seconds. Sources are now narrowed to those reaching the rings'
box first, once per hatch and once per ring: the same click takes 9 ms.
Objects on layers that are turned off (not frozen) now bound a hatch, as
in the reference. Drawings switch off the layers that close the regions
to be hatched; without them a click between columns found the outer
frame instead. (#1813)

The kernel fills hatch rings whose holes touch (a column against a beam)
by the even-odd rule instead of dropping the whole hatch. A pick-point
hatch with 222 such loops was saved but never drawn. (#1813)

- plugin-architecture.md: new "Entity class display labels (API v10)"
section documenting the split (stable identity keys in XDATA, display
labels in the plugin declaration), the live-loaded-plugin gating (missing,
disabled, cap-excluded, failed, removed, or dead → bare native type), the
"<Label> (<Native>)" display rule, that raw schema fields (`type`,
`dxf_name`, `record_type`) and LIST are unchanged, and that the label is
display-only. `plugin.toml` deliberately does not carry the table: it is
the pre-load discovery file and labels must activate on live manifests.
- Template v2 demonstrates the whole convention: declares
`SURVEY-CLASS:POINT -> "Survey Point"` and stamps the identity key in
MARK_FIRST_SURVEY_POINT, so marked points show as "Survey Point (Point)"
while the plugin is loaded. plugin.toml's api_version is bumped to 10 (keep
in sync with ApiVersion::CURRENT) with a NOTE on where the class table
lives. DESIGN.md documents the flow.
- Template v2's stale `acadrust` pin (8a28c21, predating the host's codec
bump to 278c49a) is realigned with the host's pin: without it the template
no longer compiles on main — its `acadrust::EntityType` and the host
re-exports are distinct types when the revisions disagree (verified the
same four type errors occur before and after this feature's template edit).
- changelogs/unreleased.md entry (Plugins section).
