Points carry their world normal: POINTCLOUDLIGHTING lights them in the
shaded visual styles (1 lit from both sides, 2 with back faces dark),
from the view (POINTCLOUDLIGHTSOURCE 0) or the default lights (1).
The 2D wireframe style draws no cloud points: a found cloud shows its
extents and "Point clouds are not displayed in 2D visual style.",
or nothing with POINTCLOUD2DVSDISPLAY 1. While the view moves only
POINTCLOUDRTDENSITY per cent of the points are drawn; the points are
stored in an order where every leading part samples the whole cloud.
The colour map dialog lists its schemes by name.

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.

POINTCLOUDCOLORMAP asks for a cloud (or None for the drawing's default
schemes) and opens the Point Cloud Color Map dialog: intensity and
elevation tabs with the scheme list, New / Delete / Rename, number of
colours (2-25, resampled along the scheme), blend between the ends,
reverse, gradient or bands, the colorized range, the out-of-range
choice and, for elevation, the cloud's extents or a fixed range with its
band height. OK / Apply write the drawing's colour map (created under
ACAD_POINTCLOUD_COLORMAP_DICT when missing) and the cloud's colouring in
one undo step; Make stylization current sets the tab's stylization.
Values outside a scheme's range take the end colours, the scan colours
or are hidden. Automation action pc_colormap edits the dialog.

A crop is drawn on the view plane: it keeps the view's right and up
directions in the cloud's coordinates and its points in 3D, and cuts
along the view. POINTCLOUDUNCROP removes a picked cloud's crops.
POINTCLOUDLOD scales the points shown in tenths.

Scan normals are decoded from their cube-map codes and drawn as world
normal colours under the Normals stylization; project and scan rotation
angles are read as degrees.

A scheme lists its colours from the highest value down (Spectrum:
magenta at the highest intensity, red at the lowest), as the reference
colours an intensity- or elevation-stylized cloud.

POINTCLOUDATTACH opens the Attach Point Cloud dialog after the file is
chosen; its Attach button lives in the Attach Underlay list instead of a
separate Insert panel. A selected cloud brings the crop tools to the
right-edge toolbar. POINTCLOUDSTYLIZE sets the stylization with the
reference's prompts, the External References palette lists point clouds
(unload, reload, detach, path), and definitions keep the header extents.

The byte count at 110 was read with direct indexing; a truncated element
now skips like every other field read does.

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.

A DWF sheet or DGN model is drawn as world-space wires (one line wire per
colour and width, one fill wire per colour) instead of a raster rescaled
to the view, so it stays sharp while zooming instead of showing pixels
until the raster is made again. Colours go through the colour table
mapping, contrast, fade and monochrome; clip boundaries clip the wires.
The wires are drawn and plotted but neither picked nor snapped; the
underlay's own snap geometry still serves object snaps.

One-pixel hairlines keep horizontal and vertical pieces solid, but
slanted pieces and curves are anti-aliased: their pixel steps broke up
into dashes once the raster was scaled to the screen.

- V8 models are placed relative to their global origin (model header).
- A V8 model's extent is the union of its elements' stored ranges; a V7
model's text box is one text height tall.
- Files without a colour table use the standard DGN default table; colour
255 is read from the table's background entry.
- Colours from a file's colour table follow the background: near-white
colours swap with it, and over non-black backgrounds some shades drop a
step.
- DGN contrast pulls towards a pivot taken from the model's own colours,
after the fade, which is blended into the background first.
- Shared cells are read through their full 3D placement, so tilted
instances and 3D definitions are drawn in plan.
- Deleted V8 elements are skipped; lines along the model's extent stay in
the raster.

The DWF package reader, the DGN stream inflater and the new DGN
ExtendedColors scan each read a zlib/zip payload to its end, so a
crafted or corrupt file could inflate until memory ran out. Cap them:
1 GiB for a whole DWF package, 512 MiB per DGN stream, 4 MiB per
ExtendedColors record candidate - far above real files.

- Insert > Reference: the PDF Attach button becomes an Attach Underlay menu
(PDF / DWF / DGN); its face runs the last one chosen.
- DWFATTACH, DGNATTACH and ATTACH on a .dwf/.dwfx/.dgn open the Attach
dialog for that kind: sheets or models with thumbnails (one chosen),
placement, path type, file details with the sheet / model size, and for
DGN the conversion units (sub units offer 1 / sub units per master as the
scale).
- DGN V8 true colours come from the ExtendedColors record packed in the
non-model attributes stream; the colour word's high part numbers them.
- A DGN model's extent includes each text's box (its length along the
baseline and 1.5 x its height), as the reference sizes a model.
- DWFx text uses the family named in its embedded (deobfuscated) font.
- DWF contrast pivots at 0.73 once colours are turned over for a dark
background.
- Hairline strokes are drawn solid one pixel wide, and underlay rasters are
made at or below their size on screen so those lines stay unbroken.

- W2D: a stream cut off right after an extended opcode's '(' sliced its
body backwards and panicked.
- DGN V8: the compound-file header was indexed before its length was
known (a short file with the signature panicked), the sector shift was
taken on trust (0 or 1 underflowed `sector / 4 - 1` into an endless
loop), and the DIFAT chain count was unbounded. The header must now be
complete, the shift 9 or 12, and the chain no longer than the file.
Found fuzzing the #1514 readers with truncated and random input.

- PDFOSNAP, DWFOSNAP and DGNOSNAP are separate; UOSNAP sets them all and
reads 2 while they differ. Enable Snap switches the selected kind's.
- DWFCLIP / DGNCLIP clip their own kind with the kind's prompts and message;
CLIP routes DWF and DGN underlays there; Enter at a corner asks again.
- The right-edge underlay tools show for DWF and DGN too (import is PDF
only).
- Underlay layers: DGN levels (V8 level table, "Default" listed as "0"; V7
used levels named from the level name table), hidden through the layer
override data with the DGN placeholder string first; a plotted DWF has
none.
- V8 colour read from its colour word (by level, index, or a true colour
drawn as its nearest index); 3D V8 elements drawn in plan (lines, line
strings, ellipses and arcs by their orientation, text); a model's extent
includes its text.
- DWF 6 TrueType text (font, height, rotation from the font opcode) and DWFx
glyph runs are drawn; the default W2D colour map is the measured one.
- Contrast pulls lightness towards a per-kind pivot as measured (PDF 0.5,
DWF 0.243, DGN 0.65).
- Zoom extents includes raster images and underlays whose frames are hidden.

Frames: follow the drawing state, DWF/DGN frames, image frame profile, frame-only picking
The codec [patch] to ramox81/cadcodec@ea5edaa is dropped: that commit landed as opencadcodec#63 and main already pins ad16215, which contains it.
A page shown small was drawn from its full-size raster and thin lines broke
up into dots. Once a zoom settles on another quarter-octave step, PDF, DWF
and DGN underlays are rasterised again near their size on screen (never
above the full-size raster), frames are requested until that happens, and
the adjusted-pixel memo is kept per raster size. V7 element weights no longer
widen strokes, matching V8 models.

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.

An image's transparency flag decides whether transparent pixels show what
is behind the image or draw in their stored colour: the image pass and PDF
plots now follow it (it was ignored, so every PNG alpha showed through).
TRANSPARENCY selects images and asks for the mode, defaulting to the first
image's current one.

- 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.

Review of #1484:
- The underlay's snap geometry became one hidden wire per segment, but
every piece took the whole page's bounding box, so each cursor move
visited every piece. Each piece now gets its own box.
- Assigning unlayered images to the last layer compared Debug strings of
every layered path and text per drawn item (quadratic, formatted anew
each time); the owners are keyed once in a map.
- The `snap` automation op used (0, 0, 0) for a missing point; it now
answers invalid_point. It also left the live snapper's base point set
to the query's; the base point is restored.

Raster image textures use nearest magnification; PDF pages and OLE
pictures keep bilinear filtering.

- CLIP continues as IMAGECLIP on a raster image and as VPCLIP on a layout
viewport, with the reference prompts and stored data.
- Image clip boundaries sit on pixel centres, OFF only clears the display
flag, and an inverted boundary cuts the image.
- VPCLIP polygon (Arc/Length/Close/Undo), clipping object and Delete; the
viewport shrinks to the boundary's exact extents, view kept.
- XCLIP Clipdepth: Remove clears only the plane asked, a front plane behind
the back one is rejected with the reference message.
- Attached and imported images carry the reference display flags.

- Unlayered raster images go with the PDF layer drawn last before them.
- Circular Bezier arcs import as arcs: bulged polyline segments with Join,
ARC entities without it; straight chains still join.
- Imported PNGs go to "PDF Images" next to the PDF; import blocks are
numbered imp31, imp32, ...
- Background darkness is its HSL lightness below one half.
- All chosen pages attach at the same insertion point.
- PDF geometry snaps as separate pieces: centre from the rim, intersections
and perpendiculars.
- Automation: snap query with an optional base point.

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 reference follows the cursor while its insertion point, scale or
rotation is asked (preview-only PScale/PX/PY/PZ/PRotate included); a
relative path chosen before the drawing had a file becomes relative on the
first save, and relative paths start from "./" at or below the drawing's
folder; -XREF name options report "No matching xref names found.".

On Windows a plot with no printer chosen went to the PDF application's
bare "print" verb — whatever that application considered its default —
and a viewer without a "printto" verb (Edge, store readers) silently
dropped the printer the dialog had chosen. The dialog also never named the
system default, and a failed printer enumeration left only "Default" and
"PDF" with the reason written to a console nobody sees.
- The default printer is looked up by name (GetDefaultPrinterW) both for
the dialog's "System default printer (…)" entry and before every job.
- A pure route decision (plan_print_route) resolves "Default" to that
name and uses the PDF application only when it registered a "printto"
verb for .pdf (AssocQueryStringW); otherwise the job goes straight to
the spooler through the existing GDI path. The report says which:
"Sent to printer: NAME (direct print | via the PDF application)".
- list_printers reports the system's own error; the plot dialog shows it
under the printer row and the command line warns once. A desktop without
CUPS is an empty list, not an error.
- PRINTERS command: default printer, listed printers (or the error) and,
on Windows, the print route — a report to paste into an issue.
- Properties… on the Default entry opens that printer's preferences sheet.
- GDI path: the driver's dmSize is kept (its private data lives behind
it), the print raster is no longer memoised for the session, and a
spooled temporary PDF is removed.
Tests: route planning (named / blank / no default / printto or not), the
PRINTERS command; the two Windows-only GDI tests pass the resolved name.

Grid snap locks to SNAPUNIT instead of magnetizing; snapped 3D points keep elevation instead of flattening to z=0. New SnapTypes Vertex/EdgeMidpoint/FaceCenter/Knot/FacePerpendicular/NearestFace with their own F4 master toggle and mode set, tiers, and markers, fully independent of the 2D master. Solid B-rep corners/edge-midpoints/face-centers from mesh edges and kernel faces, spline knot points, and live perpendicular/nearest-to-face on mesh triangles merged priority-aware in move/click paths. Drafting Settings 3D Object Snap tab is fully live (was dead placeholders); Nearest-to-face off by default. TDD: behavioral LINE-to-solid tests plus engine/scene unit tests.
- IMAGEEMBED: pack raster images into OLE2FRAME entities so a .dwg is
self-contained; 'Embed Image' entry in the XREF attach menu; control/MCP
op embed_image for external tools; dxf_name for OLE2FRAME queries.
- Scene: populate_images_from_document now rebuilds OLE2FRAME and PDF
underlay models too (they used to vanish after any XREF op).
- Printing: add PRINTER_ENUM_NETWORK pass when listing printers; GDI
spooler fallback (hayro raster at 300 DPI + StretchDIBits) for hosts
whose PDF handler registers no print verb; DEVMODE orientation with a
90-degree raster rotation fallback for v4 drivers; fix the fit-scale
precedence bug that printed blank pages.
- PDF export dialogs on Windows use the async file dialog so the native
overwrite confirmation no longer deadlocks the UI thread.
- Plot dialog: persist the chosen printer (saved on selection) and the
picked plot window across sessions; page setups with no device no
longer reset the output device.
- Community fonts: detect unresolvable .shx references on open and offer
a download from the repository's fonts/ folder (contribution guide in
fonts/README.md); custom font source URL setting for intranet font
servers; downloaded fonts resolve from the per-user fonts directory.
PropValue::ParamRow/ParamAddRow, the PropParamInput/Commit/Delete/AddNew
messages, their command_driver handlers (on_prop_param_commit/_delete/
_add_new, resolve_named_parameter_edit), and their render functions all
already existed — but nothing ever constructed the "Parameters" section
that would route data to them, so the whole inline add/rename/redefine/
delete workflow was unreachable from the UI. Adds that missing section
to the no-selection page in refresh_properties, alongside a new
PropValue::ParamsVisibilityToggle header row (mirrors the existing
show_constraint_values setting) for toggling whether constraint pills
show their driven value/parameter name.
Users can now manage named parameters inline in the Properties panel
(live resolved values, add/rename/redefine/delete) as an alternative to
the separate PARAMETERS modal, which continues to work unchanged.
