Pan and even plain cursor movement over the canvas ran at ~8 fps on a
large drawing. Nothing rendered was responsible: the GPU idled at 0-8%,
encoding no scene at all changed nothing, and vertices, pixels and draw
calls could each be cut without moving the number. `view` was the frame
-- 110 ms of it against 3-6 ms on a small drawing -- and inside `view`
it was the status bar.
The status bar builds the selection-filter menu, which asks for the
distinct entity type names in the layout. That call cloned the layout's
entire handle list (1 166 357 handles, ~9 MB), then did a map lookup, a
String allocation and a BTreeSet insert for each one. About 107 ms of a
110 ms frame, to produce roughly twenty names, for a menu that is only
visible when opened.
Cache the result against geometry_epoch and the layout block, since it
only changes when entities are added or removed, and make the scan
itself borrow the handle list rather than clone it and collect &str,
allocating only for the names it returns.
The immediate-mode UI rebuilds every widget on every mouse move, which is
fine as long as nothing in that path is O(document). This was.

Refresh stale depth bounds after geometry edits, allow orbiting through camera poles, and preserve hidden-line occlusion for selected solids.\n\nFixes #957
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)
Scene.selection was Rc<RefCell<SelectionState>> (31 fields, ~1.6KB
with poly_points) cloned deep per view_main per pane via
(*sel_ref).clone() at view/mod.rs:760. Replace with
Arc<RefCell<SelectionState>> (Arc::new(RefCell::new(...)) at
scene/mod.rs:1436,1868), SelectionCanvas holds Arc<RefCell> and
selection_overlay takes Arc<RefCell> (overlay.rs:365,415),
view_main does Arc::clone(&tab.scene.selection) (atomic bump)
instead of deep clone. sel_ref stays borrowed for field reads
(vp_size etc.).
Bench (release, n=5000): SelectionState::clone 39-68ns (64pts) /
11-22ns (0pts) vs Arc::clone 7ns — 5-9x on the hot path.
Tests:
- selection_is_arc_not_refcell: asserts type_name contains Arc
- bench_selection_state_clone / bench_selection_arc_clone / bench_selection_state_clone_empty (ignored, release)
Sync current main and companion codec changes before preserving unsupported frame rows, rendering in the entity plane, and sharing final layout metrics with placement preview.
Implement the AutoCAD compatible HATCHTOBACK (HB) command and enhance the interactive DRAWORDER command pipeline with comprehensive verb selection and viewport entity picking.
Key implementations and architectural details:
1. HATCHTOBACK command execution
* Isolates entities belonging to the active layout block record or global space.
* Filters out entities residing on locked layers using an efficient hash set lookup.
* Records targeted delta undo operations on SortEntitiesTable objects (~100 bytes) rather than snapshotting full document structures.
* Performs granular draw depth cache invalidation via Scene::invalidate_draw_depth, preserving existing geometry tessellations and spatial indices.
* Emits localized user notifications when no qualifying hatch entities are found.
2. Interactive DrawOrderCommand state machine
* Supports preselected entities as well as interactive on demand selection gathering.
* Implements subverb selection supporting single character shortcuts (A for Above, U for Under, F for Front, B for Back) and case insensitive keyword parsing.
* Enables interactive reference object picking directly in the viewport via needs_entity_pick and on_entity_pick callbacks.
* Supports hexadecimal handle specification directly from the command line interface.
3. Ecosystem and system integration
* Bumps DEFAULT_ALIASES_VERSION from 2 to 3 to register the HB alias while preserving existing user overrides.
* Integrates HATCHTOBACK and HB into dynamic autocomplete registries.
* Adds localized message strings across all 20 Fluent translation catalogs.
* Corrects hatch boundary serialization flags to ensure outermost boundary rings consistently carry the external attribute.
Persist camera, render state, and solid fallback geometry across saves. Generate previews from a clean live viewport and refresh recent-file thumbnails immediately.
Sync projection controls from the active camera, preserve the UCS icon in perspective views, and use visible or selected 3D geometry for orbit pivots. Dense mesh vertex grips remain hidden.
