The right-edge toolbar of a REFEDIT session now shows the definition
being edited (REFEDITNAME) as an accent pill with the number of objects
in the working set, Add to / Remove from Working Set buttons with their
own icons (REFSET Add / Remove, straight to object selection), and
Save / Discard in a separate group below a rule.

REFEDIT opens a dialog after the pick: the nesting chain as chips with a
preview of the chosen definition, all objects or picking them in the
drawing, attribute definitions (offered only when the definition has
them), locking objects outside the working set and unique names for an
external reference's named objects. The settings are remembered.
With unique names an xref's dependent layers, linetypes, text styles and
blocks are checked out as $N$NAME records of their own; without, under
the plain name, sharing a host record of that name. Save writes them back
under the reference's names, and the records made for the session are
removed when it closes. -REFEDIT uses the remembered settings.

IMAGEADJUST (alias IAD) takes the selected raster images or asks
"Select image(s):", then opens a dialog with a before/after preview of
the first image and brightness, contrast and fade rows (bar plus
stepper, whole numbers 0-100). Apply writes the values to every chosen
image as one undo step; restore defaults sets 50/50/0. Adds the
image_adjust automation action and the image-adjust locale group.

In the Block Editor, BVSTATE makes a new visibility state, makes one
current, renames or deletes one; BVHIDE and BVSHOW hide or show the
picked objects in the current state (BVSHOW shows every object of the
block while they are picked). The first use makes the block dynamic.
The states are stored as the format keeps them: a
BLOCKVISIBILITYPARAMETER in the block's ACAD_ENHANCEDBLOCK evaluation
graph with its visibility grip and the grip's two location expressions,
the round-trip purge preventer, AcDbDynamicBlockTrueName /
AcDbDynamicBlockGUID / AcDbBlockRepETag on the definition and element
tags on each of its objects. The definition shows its first state; a
reference given another state gets its own evaluated *U copy, tagged
AcDbBlockRepBTag and linked back through AcDbBlockRepresentation /
AcDbRepData, so it shows that state and the other references do not
change. Saving the block drops erased objects from the states.
Checked: a block authored this way reads back with its states and
reference link from DWG and DXF, and the ODA converter accepts the DWG.

ARRAYEDIT picks an associative array (or takes the preselected one) and
its Source option opens the objects every item repeats in the Block
Editor; saving there updates all items at once. Counts and spacings stay
in Properties.

COMPARE picks a drawing (or takes its path) and matches its objects with
this drawing's by what they draw: type, layer and tessellated geometry,
so an unchanged copy matches whatever its handle. Objects only here are
outlined in green, objects only in the other drawing in red, over the
current drawing, and Next / Previous zoom from one difference to the
next with a count in the prompt. A moved or edited object shows as one
of each. eXit (or Esc) clears the overlay.

With the new Associative option on (the default), ARRAYRECT and
ARRAYPOLAR build the array the way the drawing format stores one: the
selected objects move into an anonymous source block, an anonymous
array block holds one ByBlock reference to it per item, an INSERT of
the array block takes their place, and an AcDbAssocAction with an
AcDbAssocArrayActionBody, its three dependencies, the BaseNormal /
Origin / basePoint parameters and the value parameters tie them
together in the model-space network. The array is then edited from
Properties like an array read from a file.
The option flips with AS and is remembered for the session; on a
rotated working plane the commands keep making plain copies. Saving
drops the action of an array whose reference was erased or exploded.
Checked: created arrays reopen as associative with their parameters
and items, and the ODA converter reads the saved DWG without errors.

SLICE now takes MESH, polygon mesh and polyface mesh objects. A mesh
that closes a volume is sliced as a solid, so each side is capped and
becomes a 3D solid. An open mesh, such as a pipe run imported without
end caps, is clipped face by face and each side stays a mesh, open
along the cut. Keeping one side or both works as for solids, in one
undo step.

Opening the block editor brings up a Block Editor ribbon tab with
Edit / Save / Discard, Attribute Definition, and the geometric,
dimensional and parameter tools that drive parametric blocks. The tab
is only listed while a block editor session is open, and leaving the
session returns to the tab that was active before.

ADJUST gathers raster images or PDF/DWF/DGN underlays (other objects are
dropped silently, pickfirst is used, a mixed set is refused), then asks the
image option (Brightness default) or the underlay option (last used), with
value prompts that offer the image's own value or the session's last
underlay fade/contrast, and Monochrome Yes/No. Invalid values re-prompt.
One undo step. -IMAGEADJUST, PDFADJUST, DWFADJUST and DGNADJUST take one
kind each. Raster image Brightness/Contrast/Fade move to an Image Adjust
section as whole numbers with 0-100 validation.

HPASSOC (0 or 1, default 1) is the starting state of the hatch
command's associative option. It is an application setting: typed
directly or through SETVAR, it persists across sessions and does not
mark the drawing modified.

TXTEXP replaces each selected TEXT and MTEXT with one polyline per
glyph contour, on the text's layer and with its properties: a
lightweight polyline for flat text, a 3D polyline for tilted text.
The outlines come from the same glyph tessellation the text renders
with, so stroke fonts give their strokes and outline fonts their
closed contours.

In model space MVSETUP draws the sheet border at the drawing scale
(scale factor, paper width and height) and zooms to it, or switches to
a layout. On a layout it creates viewports in a bounding area (a single
one, a 2x2 engineering set of top/front/right/isometric views, or an
array with spacing), deletes picked objects, and scales picked
viewports to a paper/model unit ratio.
A viewport's fit to the model now measures the model along the
viewport's own view direction, so side and isometric views frame it
too.

Delegate INSERT and MINSERT explosion to the document-aware codec implementation, removing duplicate attribute and base-point handling. Update workspace, kernel and graph pins together and cover rotated arrays with a nonzero base.
Enforce constant attribute flag in ATTEDIT dialog by presenting constant attributes as disabled and ignoring modifications. When exploding an insert, restore block-definition attribute definitions as transformed ATTDEF entities while dropping instance attribute values.
- A layout opens for the first time when its page setup was never
initialized (no paper size, no media name) or it was created in this
session; its page setup is initialized then, and with
LAYOUTCREATEVIEWPORT it gets its first viewport. A layout never opened
is saved with an uninitialized page setup and no viewports, so it gets
its viewport when the file is opened again, here or in the reference.
- Select Viewport for view: a viewport is selected when the pick box
(PICKBOX pixels at the sheet's zoom) touches its frame; a pick well
inside or outside selects nothing and the prompt repeats.

Filleting a polyline segment with a line or arc moved the segment's
vertex and left the polyline closed and the other object separate, so a
closed shape bent into an unexpected outline. The polyline is now
opened if closed, cut at the fillet point keeping the picked side, and
the fillet arc and the trimmed line or arc are joined onto it as one
polyline, as the reference does.

TRIM already takes objects selected before the command as cutting
edges; EXTEND ignored them and extended to the nearest object in the

The pasted block is defined around the clipboard base, so its origin
is already that point, but the insertion still subtracted the base and
landed the block offset from the pick. The base now only positions the
world-space preview, and it stays f64.

- Gradients: the middle colour sits (horizon - 0.5) viewport widths from the
centre and blends over height viewport heights each side; two colours
blend over a viewport height each side.
- Image backgrounds: offset in device pixels (right, down), negative scale
mirrors, fitted with aspect ratio covers the viewport; the dialog keeps an
image's offset and scale.
- Layouts: a model-space view restored on a sheet asks for the viewport,
enters it and gives it the view's camera, background and visual style;
inside a viewport the view goes there; a paper-space view's background is
kept on the sheet viewport but not drawn; floating viewports draw their
background.
- Background objects no view or viewport uses any more are erased; a view
without a background restored where the viewport already is leaves the
viewport's background.
- The viewport's named visual style (Realistic, ...) shows by name and the
render-mode picker records its style on the viewport record.

A fresh web-vs-desktop audit found the remaining gaps; this closes the
top ten.
Raster images: IMAGE attach read the picked file via image::open on a
name-only path (dead on wasm), and raster references inside opened
drawings decoded the same way. Picked bytes are now registered in a
name-keyed store (the PDF-underlay pattern), decoding runs from memory,
and dropped .png/.jpg/.bmp/.tif files register by name so unresolved
references in opened drawings re-resolve and render (and export to PDF).
Command gaps fixed with the bytes-at-pick / download_bytes pattern:
- WBLOCK now downloads the extracted block instead of failing on fs.
- SAVEALL saves every dirty tab instead of printing a no-op message.
- SCRIPT picks and reads the .scr file through the browser picker.
- CENTERLTYPEFILE picks the .lin/.dnl file and populates from text.
- Custom .ctb tables picked on web now parse, register for the
session, appear in the plot dialog list, and apply (load_named
previously returned builtin-only on wasm).
- LAYTRANS 'Load standards file' parses the picked drawing on the
existing web worker.
- INSERT 'from file' in the block palette parses picked bytes and
feeds the shared import path.
Text fidelity: TTF-named styles rendered as thin stroke glyphs on web
because the font database was empty. Fetched Noto faces are now
registered into it with a family alias table (Arial, Times New Roman,
Cambria, ... -> Noto Sans/Serif), so those styles render filled, shape,
export to PDF as vector fills, and appear in the style picker.
ViewCube labels request semibold again on web.
docs/native-vs-web.md: the hatch and font rows were stale (both work on
web now), the GPU row claimed WebGPU is used where available (the
backend is pinned to OpenGL), and the parallelism row missed the parse
worker — all corrected.
(cherry picked from commit c643a10e)
Ported onto main (#1717 review): conflicts resolved toward main — the
font-file lookup, PDF searchable text, purge service, block palette and
plot-style copy stay as they are on main; the web pieces (font registry
and aliases, session plot styles, SCRIPT/SAVEALL/CENTERLTYPEFILE picks,
block-from-file on the web) are layered on top.
Color, Gradient and Image at the background prompt open a Background
dialog (None / Solid / Gradient / Image, preview, solid colour, two- or
three-colour gradient with rotation, image file with position and
scale). Apply links the view to a new background object in
ACAD_BACKGROUND; restoring a view gives the model viewport a copy of
it (or none), and saving a view copies the viewport's background.

world = insert_point + Rot * Scale * (P - base_point). Attribute placement, EXPLODE, XCLIP storage, REFEDIT's working copy, the UCS reframe of attributes and the dynamic-block visibility grip ignored the base point and were offset by Rot*Scale*base. They now share insert_transform_with_base. Creation stores a ZERO base and redefine resets it; a no-op redefine moves nothing; the Block Definition dialog prefills the base from the definition. XCLIP filters stored by older builds keep their old displacement.
bake_dimension_blocks copied the dimension's whole EntityCommon, including its extension dictionary handle, into every baked child, so many entities claimed one dictionary and file validation reported an error per entity. Baked children now get no extension dictionary. The same defect is fixed in define_transformed_block and the cross-document paste clone. Each has a test.
#1692 limited no-trim FILLET to two lines and refused arcs and polyline
segments, which #1558 already filleted without trimming (only the arc is
added). It also turned T/N at the object prompts into silent toggles, so
the Trim option no longer reached its Trim/No trim prompt and the choice
was not saved. Keep the arc bookkeeping it added (the new arc can be
picked next, and stays on the picked layer), restore every pair and the
Trim prompt.
CHAMFER's new no-trim mode starts from and saves the same TRIMMODE value
as FILLET instead of always starting trimmed.
