value toggle, and redesigned constraint-ribbon icons
Properties panel:
- New "Parameters" section (shown with no selection) listing every named
parameter with inline name/formula editing, add, and delete, backed by
new PropValue::ParamRow/ParamAddRow and command_driver handlers
(resolve_named_parameter_edit, on_prop_param_commit/_delete/_add_new).
A fresh parameter's formula now defaults to "1", not "0" — a 0-length
seed value is a genuine solver singularity for a Distance constraint
driven by that parameter, with no defined direction to grow back out of.
- New "Constraints" section (shown for a single selected entity) listing
every constraint touching it as a clickable PropValue::EntityLink that
selects the linked entities in the viewport, danger-tinted when the
constraint conflicts.
Constraint pills:
- New Options > General toggle, "Show values and parameter names on
constraint markers" (on by default, persisted). Off, every pill shows
just its bare glyph instead of glyph+driven-value/parameter-name — the
glyph alone is enough to see a constraint is present, without the value
text covering nearby geometry on a dense sketch.
Constraint-ribbon icons:
- Replaced all 18 unicode/letter glyph icons (including the plain "F",
"L", "M", "S" letters) with proper SVGs under assets/icons/constrain/,
matching the Modify section's two-color style (#B4B6B9 white / #6DB7ED
blue, consistent stroke width). Tangent reuses the Draw section's
white-arc-plus-blue-dots motif.

Arcs are now full constraint participants (center/radius via the existing
Circle-shaped solver path, plus real endpoints kept consistent by arc-rules
CurveValue constraints); adds Diameter/DistanceX/DistanceY/ArcLength/Normal
constraint kinds and initial Ellipse entity support (center-based
constraints only). DWG-native class mappings and gaps (ArcLength, Ellipse)
are grounded against real ObjectARX headers rather than guessed, so files
saved with DWG-native constraints stay honest about what AutoCAD can
actually represent.
Also fixes a case-sensitivity bug where a lowercase named-parameter
reference typed at a dimensional constraint's value prompt was rejected
(the command line uppercases SingleToken input before the parameter-name
lookup), and adds a "Used by" column to the Named Parameters panel.

The application has no support-file search path — the four folders it uses
are functions returning fixed paths, not settings. Rather than build a Files
page that pretends otherwise, this one answers the question people actually
open it to ask: where does this thing keep my plot styles. Each row shows the
location and opens it in the file manager, and a row whose path the platform
could not give says so with its button disabled.
General gains buttons through to the plugin manager, the keyboard shortcut
editor and the alias editor. Those three have good dialogs of their own and
are not absorbed; Options simply stops being a place you cannot reach them
from.

The ViewCube, the UCS icon, its at-origin placement and selection cycling all
have commands and status-bar pills, and all four kept their value only on the
app struct. Turn the ViewCube off with NAVVCUBE, restart, and it is back.
Nothing failed — the setting evaporated — so a checkbox for any of them would
have been a checkbox that forgets. They are persisted first, with a
round-trip test, and only then given controls.
The new 3D Modeling page carries the three view tools plus the drawing
variables that decide how solids are tessellated: ISOLINES, DISPSILH, SURFU,
SURFV, SURFTYPE, SOLIDHIST and SHOWHIST. Those are saved in the DWG rather
than in preferences, so the page says so beside each group and hides them
entirely when no drawing is open.
Changing them also rebuilds the geometry. The SETVAR path never did, which is
why the comment beside LTSCALE's invalidation exists — the same reasoning
applies here, and without it a new isoline count does not appear until some
unrelated edit rebuilds the solid.
Selection cycling joins the Selection page next to the other two selection
modes, since that is what it is.

Two drafting preferences had no proper home. The Drafting Settings dialog
displays the drafting rotation and offers only a Reset button — there was no
way to type an angle short of `SETVAR SNAPANG`. The polar tracking increment
existed in exactly one place: a pop-up hanging off the status-bar pill.
The rotation is a text field over an edit buffer rather than the value
itself, so clearing it to retype does not snap the crosshair to zero on the
way through; the buffer is reseeded whenever the value is restored from
behind it. Angles render without a trailing `.0`, matching how the polar
pop-up has always shown them — same kind of number, same reader.
Snap modes, grid spacing and object snap stay in Drafting Settings, where
they belong; the page links to it.

Zoom direction and factor, whether TEXTEDIT ends after one object, whether
continued dimensions inherit the base dimension's style, which points QDIM
measures from, and which annotative objects pick up a newly set scale. All
six work today; none had a control.
Two of them needed their meaning worked out rather than copied.
ANNOAUTOSCALE stores the mode in the magnitude and on/off in the sign, and
the four modes are not documented anywhere in the app — the command prompt
just says `[-4..4]`. Reading `add_annotation_scale_to_objects` gives them:
1 skips layers that are off, frozen, locked or frozen in the viewport, 2
keeps the locked ones, 3 skips only locked, 4 takes everything. The dropdown
names them instead of showing bare numbers, and choosing Off negates rather
than zeroing, so the mode survives being switched off and back on — which is
the convention the status-bar pill already follows.
The QDIM origin priority had no system variable at all; it could only be
reached through a keyword inside the running command.
Drawing units stay in their own dialog; this page links to it.

Three settings that work, persist, and could only be reached by typing their
name: TEXTFILL, CLIPROMPTLINES and COMMANDLINEFADETIME. The last two govern
how much of the command window is prompt and how long its history lingers —
the kind of thing people fiddle with once and then leave, which is exactly
what a settings dialog is for.
One fix rides along. TEXTFILL is a process-global, so changing it invalidates
the text in every open drawing; the SETVAR path rebuilt only the active tab,
leaving the others rendering the previous setting until an unrelated edit
happened to rebuild them. Both paths now go through
`invalidate_text_everywhere`, so the checkbox and the command cannot disagree.

General had become three unrelated controls: a language picker, a save format
and a file association. The last two move to an Open and Save page, where
they join the two saving preferences that have never had a widget.
Automatic save has worked since the SAVETIME command was added and is
persisted; the only way to change the interval was to type it. Same for the
`.bak` copy from #205 and its ISAVEBAK command. Both are settings people
expect to find in a dialog, and neither was in one.
The page also carries a button through to the Plot dialog. Options holds the
preferences; the plot device, paper and plot styles stay where they already
work well. Note that the modal stack shows one dialog at a time, so the
button replaces Options rather than stacking on it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <[email protected]>
The dialog laid its pages out as a row of buttons across the top, which is
what AutoCAD does and what fits while there are four of them. The pages this
series adds take it to nine, and the names are translated into 21 languages —
a row of nine German or Russian page names does not fit at any dialog width
worth having.
The rail is now a vertical list down the left, the dialog is 880×620 rather
than 540×560, and the content pane scrolls on its own.
Which page was open is now remembered. With four pages, reopening on General
was a shrug; with nine it means hunting for the one you were last in.
The ribbon's Options tool has existed all along — `ToolDef`, icon and all —
but was marked `#[allow(dead_code)]` and never added to a group, so the
dialog could only be reached by typing OPTIONS or from the start page. It
now sits in Manage ▸ Application, beside About.
No settings change in this commit; it is only the shell the rest needs.

Brings in 54 commits from origin/main: a selection-performance overhaul,
surface thickening, GPU-native wide/tapered stroke rendering, continued
ocs_doc_api evolution, and assorted fixes/polish (block double-click
editing, DWG hatch/database repair, clipboard, collapsible Properties
sections).
Six real conflicts, all where this branch had independently re-applied
a fix upstream later revised or already carried natively:
- src/app/automation.rs, src/app/command_driver.rs: combined both
sides — kept this branch's sketch-constraint/named-parameter loading
on "new"/"open", adopted main's Scene::clear()/material_base_dir and
its newer rebuild_derived_caches() over the older bump_geometry().
Scene::clear() (src/scene/entity.rs) now also resets
sketch_constraints/named_parameters, so every caller gets this for
free instead of each call site repeating it.
- src/io/mod.rs, src/scene/render_graph.rs: adopted main's design
outright (commit 973af87d, authored by Hakan directly) — a large
MINSERT is no longer purged as "corrupt" at load, only its rendering
is bounded, preserving the source data. This branch's own earlier
design (reject at load) predates that revision.
- src/scene/pipeline/mesh_gpu.rs: adopted main's valid_rgba_size()
guard (a real robustness improvement over this branch's version).
- src/snap.rs: replaced wholesale with main's version — this branch's
copy was an explicit verbatim snapshot from an earlier upstream PR
(commit 4c264b8c) with zero constraint-system-specific content, and
main has since evolved it considerably further.
Also removed two now-dead duplicates the merge surfaced without a
conflict marker (both branches had independently fixed the same
things): the OPTIONS/OP command dispatch/autocomplete entries, and
automation.rs's open_finalizes_and_purges_like_the_ui_open_path test
(kept main's version, which covers strictly more: solid_models/
material_base_dir reset on "new").
Full workspace suite passes (812 lib tests + this branch's own 24
constraint/persistence integration tests) except the one pre-existing,
unrelated font-test failure already present on main. Zero clippy
findings in the hand-written merge resolution itself; the ~1,171
warnings clippy reports are pre-existing in the 54 absorbed commits,
not introduced here.

New ConstraintKind variants — Concentric, CenterPoint, Colinear, Midpoint,
Fixed, PointOnCurve, EqualDistance, Symmetric — each built entirely from
existing ocs_gcs (FreeCAD planegcs) primitives, no new solver math needed.
build_constraint now returns Vec<Rc<dyn Constraint>> instead of
Option<Rc<...>>, generalizing the old Coincident-only "needs a second
system-level constraint" special case to every kind that needs one.
Wired into the ribbon (7 new buttons), a new point+pre-selected-entity
command for CenterPoint/Midpoint/PointOnCurve, a new 4-point command for
EqualDistance, and the existing DWG-native class-name mapping (all 8 reuse
the same generic "plain Geometrical node" path already built for
Coincident/Horizontal/etc.). Deliberately not modeled: Normal and
EqualCurvature, which for this app's Line/Circle-only entity model would
just be Perpendicular and Equal wearing different DWG class names.
Also makes DWG-native constraint persistence opt-in (Options > General,
off by default) rather than unconditional: a scope that doesn't yet have
the native graph is only given one when the setting is on, but a scope
that already has one — from an earlier save, or a file that came from
real AutoCAD — keeps getting it resynced regardless of the setting, so
toggling it off never freezes a stale graph in place.

Named parameters (docs/named_parameters_design.md, stages 3-4):
- ParameterTable (src/scene/named_parameters.rs): a document-wide table of
named formulas, each resolved through a shared expression evaluator with
cross-parameter references, cycle detection, and division-by-zero/parse
error reporting. SketchConstraint::driving_param becomes DrivingValue
(Literal | Named) instead of a bare f64, resolved at solve time by
sketch_solve::build_constraint via Scene::named_parameters.
- Persistence (src/scene/named_parameters_persist.rs): same lazy XRecord
model sketch_persist.rs already established, synced around open/save.
Bumps the sketch-constraint XRecord's own format version (1 -> 2) since
DrivingValue's shape doesn't line up with a version-1 blob's bytes.
- PARAMETERS command and its editor (src/ui/window/named_parameters.rs):
add/remove/edit rows, live validation, duplicate-name detection: Apply
defines the table and re-solves every constraint scope with a
named-parameter-driven constraint (command_driver.rs). Distance/Angle
constraint prompts (modules/draw/constrain/value.rs) now accept either a
literal or an existing parameter's name, mirroring how the constraint's
own value prompt already worked.
- Undo scope-down carried over from this project's own established pattern
(constraint-system stage 9): the geometry an Apply moves is one undo
step, but the parameter table edit itself has no undo entry yet — a
documented follow-up, not a silent gap.
UI scale setting (src/app/settings.rs, app/mod.rs, ui/window/options.rs):
a whole-interface scale percentage (50-200%), wired directly into iced's
own per-window scale_factor hook rather than per-panel font-size
plumbing, so it applies immediately to every panel, dialog, and the
ribbon at once. Persisted alongside the existing lineweight-display-scale
setting.
OPTIONS/OP command dispatch (app/commands/view.rs, app/commands/mod.rs):
OPTIONS was registered for autocomplete but had no dispatch arm — the
Start-tab welcome screen's own button was the only way to reach it.
Found live-testing the UI-scale setting, unrelated to that feature
itself. "OP" is AutoCAD's own short alias.
help/: a new self-contained static user-help manual (manual.md as the
authored source, tools/build_help.py splits it into the committed static
HTML pages plus search index) — not yet wired into the application.
64 new/updated tests across the named-parameters and constraint-prompt
changes.

Options → Selection already carried the pick box, the selection-area effect
and the grip visuals. Four settings behind it were finished, persisted and
reachable only by typing a system variable, and one more was a constant.
**Four that only needed a widget.** `SELECTIONEFFECT`, `SELECTIONPREVIEW`,
`PICKADD` and `PICKDRAG` are all wired end to end already. `SELECTIONEFFECT`
was the odd one: the card's own "Restore Defaults" button resets it, so it
could be turned off by a button and only turned back on from the command
line.
`SELECTIONPREVIEW` is a bitmask and gets one checkbox per bit, which is why
`set_preview_bit` exists rather than two inline expressions — the bits are
the thing this change is most able to get backwards.
The `PICKADD` checkbox is worded as AutoCAD words it, "use Shift to add to
selection", which is the *inverse* of the stored flag. That inversion is
commented at both ends; it reads as a bug otherwise.
**`GRIPOBJLIMIT`.** The limit past which a selection gets no grips arrived
with the selection work as a hardcoded 100, matching AutoCAD's default. It is
now a setting, a slider and a system variable, following `PICKBOX`'s path
exactly. AutoCAD's 0 means "no limit", which the old `>` comparison could not
express, so the read now guards on it — with a test, because zero is the one
value that would otherwise suppress every grip instead of allowing all of
them.
The slider covers 0..=1000, where every useful value lives; the sysvar takes
AutoCAD's full 0..=32767, and a larger value set from the command line parks
the handle at the end while the read-out keeps showing the real number.
**`SelectionPrefs`** replaces the `pick_box` parameter rather than adding
three more. `view_window` already took seventeen positional arguments, and
`pick_add` / `pick_drag_rect` are two adjacent `bool`s that would swap
silently at the call site.
**Two fixes found on the way.** `OPTIONS` and `OP` were registered for
autocomplete but never dispatched, so typing either answered "Unknown
command" and the dialog could only be opened from the start page. And the
`SELECTIONPREVIEW` doc comment had its bits the wrong way round — the code
reads `& 1` for the idle rollover and `& 2` for the in-command one, as
AutoCAD does — which would have put the two new checkboxes' labels backwards.
**Not done, deliberately.** `PICKFIRST` and `PICKAUTO` exist but are always
on, with no variable. `PICKSTYLE` is stored in the header and read by nobody
— group expansion decides from the group's own `selectable` flag — so an
"object grouping" checkbox would control nothing. Associative-hatch selection
does not exist as a selection behaviour. Each needs a behaviour change rather
than an exposure.
Of the ten new strings, en-US and el-GR are translated; the other nineteen
locales carry the English text. Composing them from existing keys, the way
el-GR composes the neighbouring labels, only works for one of the ten —
there is no existing key for "limit", "unlimited", "shift", "rectangle" or
"lasso", and "Grips: Objects" as the label of a numeric limit would be worse
than an untranslated string.

Ports FreeCAD's planegcs 2D geometric constraint solver to Rust as a new
crates/ocs_gcs workspace member, and wires it into the document/scene model
as a persistent SketchConstraintSet: Coincident, Horizontal/Vertical,
Parallel/Perpendicular, Equal, Tangent, Distance, Angle and Radius
constraints that re-solve live (including mid-drag, not just on release),
render glyphs and a DOF badge, flag conflicts with a one-click resolver
pill, and round-trip through save/load via an XRecord blob.
Also includes docs/command_reference.md (a statically generated reference
of every registered command and its prompt sequence) and
docs/named_parameters_design.md + docs/backlog.md, which hand off the next
queued feature (a named-parameter/expression table) and consolidate every
deliberate scope-down and open gap found along the way, so a fresh session
has a complete starting point.

Model space appearance now follows the active UI theme instead of a
hardcoded dark background. Canvas mode is user-selectable (Match Theme /
Classic CAD Dark / Custom RGB), with matching controls for the paper
sheet and desk surround backgrounds and grid opacity.
Implements industry-standard CAD system variables, all settable via
command name, SETVAR, and the Options dialog:
- COLORTHEME (0/1 dark/light UI scheme, preserves custom palettes)
- COLORSCHEME (interactive named-theme selection)
- BACKGROUND (THEME/CLASSIC/DEFAULT/DESK presets, RGB triplets)
- SELECTIONAREA, SELECTIONAREAOPACITY (translucent marquee fill)
- WINDOWSAREACOLOR/WINDOWAREACOLOR, CROSSINGAREACOLOR (ACI or theme)
- SELECTIONEFFECT, SELECTIONEFFECTCOLOR (GPU highlight pass, driven by
selection_generation invalidation — no retessellation)
- SELECTIONPREVIEW (bit 0 = idle rollover, bit 1 = in-command hover)
- GRIPSIZE, GRIPCOLOR, GRIPHOT, GRIPHOVER (grip overlay styling)
Replace manual key entry with per-row capture cells: clicking + Add
inserts a draft row at the top with its key cell armed, and the next
key combination is recorded and normalized (Ctrl+Shift+S →
CTRL+SHIFT+S). While armed, a dedicated keyboard listener swallows all
input so recorded shortcuts do not execute in the drawing.
Draft rows are transient and confirmed only through an explicit accept
button, so the table never retains empty rows. Duplicate keys and
unrunnable commands are flagged in danger styling with a persistent
warning naming the conflicting command. Added reset-to-defaults with
confirmation, apply-and-exit, a shortcut count, and an unsaved-changes
guard on close.
The status-bar units button wrote INSUNITS, which nothing on screen reads.
INSUNITS only tells the drawing how to scale content arriving from
elsewhere, so picking a unit relabelled the drawing and changed nothing
visible — the selector looked broken because the variable it moved was
invisible.
Point the button at LUNITS instead, the setting that decides how every
coordinate and distance is written, and give the three questions the word
"units" runs together a place each:
- The button offers the five length formats, each shown beside a sample of
itself, so Engineering and Architectural are told apart by sight.
- UNITS / DDUNITS opens a real dialog: length and angle format and
precision, the direction angle zero points, whether positive angles run
clockwise, and the insertion unit. Its sample comes from the same
formatters the drawing uses, so it cannot drift from the readout.
- DWGUNITS converts. Model geometry, viewport framing, the header's length
defaults and each dimension style's scale all move together in one undo
step; paper space is left alone, since the sheet is still the same sheet.
Locked layers are converted too — a half-converted drawing would be at
two scales at once.
The coordinate readout formatted at four decimal places whatever the
drawing asked for; it now goes through the same format_length the
properties panel uses. That made the angle formats reachable in turn, so
degrees-minutes-seconds now carries the d/'/" marks that say which
convention it is, and surveyor's units are written at all.
Typed input is still plain decimal: a length the readout writes as
5'-6 1/2" cannot yet be typed back. ANGBASE and ANGDIR are stored but not
yet applied to displayed directions.

Registering as the .dwg/.dxf handler was reachable only by typing
FILEASSOC, which is also the only thing that installs the icons the
desktop shows — so a user with no reason to know the command had no way
to arrive at either.
The checkbox makes the same two calls the command does, so the stored
setting and the actual registration cannot drift apart. A registration
the system refuses puts the checkbox back rather than leaving it showing
a state that is not true.
The line under it says the icons come with it, since that is what sends
people looking for this in the first place.

Drawings arrive from elsewhere carrying someone else's layer names, and
folding them into a set of house layers meant renaming and merging by
hand, one layer at a time.
LAYTRANS reads a layer set out of another drawing and moves this one onto
it. Given a file it maps every name the two already share and translates
at once, which is all most incoming drawings need. Bare, it opens a
translator: the drawing's layers on one side, the loaded set on the
other, mappings built up between them and applied only on Translate, so a
mapping can be reconsidered and the whole translation is a single undo
step. Mappings can be saved and read back, objects can be forced to
ByLayer so the target layer's properties are what actually shows, and the
result can be written out as a log.
The move itself is the one LAYMRG already made for a single pair, so
LAYMRG now goes through it too rather than keeping its own copy.
Three things fell out for free or nearly so. A standards file is a
drawing, so .dws and .dwt need nothing but a place in the file filter.
The entity list is flat and holds block definitions, so objects inside
blocks travel with everything else instead of being stranded on a layer
that no longer exists. And a target layer that this drawing already has
is left alone: the drawing has an opinion about it, and restyling it
would reach past what was asked for -- only newly created targets take
the standard's properties.
Mappings are saved beside the drawing rather than inside a DWS. That is
where AutoCAD keeps them, but putting them there would mean inventing a
place in the drawing that nothing else reads back.
