The readout learned to write lengths as 5'-6 1/2" and angles as
N 45d0'0" E, but typed input was still a bare parse::<f64>() — a
coordinate could be displayed and not entered. Give the formatters
their inverses.
parse_length takes feet and inches separated by a dash, a space, or
nothing, with the closing quote optional, and whole-plus-fraction in
any of those forms: 5', 60", 5'-9", 5'9-1/2, 9-1/2, 1/2. A leading
minus is a sign; the one inside 5'-9" is a separator, since after feet
there is nothing left to subtract from.
parse_angle reads the mark that says which convention an angle is in —
g for grads, r for radians, d/'/" for degrees-minutes-seconds, compass
letters for a surveyor's bearing — and reads a bare number in whichever
convention the drawing is set to.
ANGBASE and ANGDIR now apply, but only where they mean something. Which
way a thing points is measured from the drawing's zero and runs the way
it says; how wide an arc opens is the same number whatever zero is
counted from. format_direction and parse_direction are the pair for
directions, and the polar readout and polar input both go through them,
so the bearing shown is the bearing accepted. format_angle stays for
sizes, where applying a base angle would corrupt the value.
The command prompts follow the same rule, each classified rather than
swept: OFFSET distance, FILLET radius, CHAMFER distances, ARRAY and
MINSERT spacing, TRACE width, HELIX, and EXTRUDE height read lengths;
the four dimension text-rotation prompts, ARRAY's total angle and
INSERT's rotation read angles. MLINE's scale and INSERT's scale factor
are left alone — a multiplier has no unit to be written in. INSERT read
both through one parse; they are now separate.
The typed variants also take a decimal comma, which a single-value
prompt has no other use for. parse_length itself does not: inside a
coordinate the comma separates the axes.

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.

Add a searchable block palette with previews, file import, collision-safe nested definitions, and dependency/table-record import. Keep palette thumbnails current across drawing switches and block-definition edits.
Keep OFFSET picks current across newly created entities and preserve the command after pick-first offsets.
Use palette-provided contrast colors for active status controls and Alias Editor removal buttons.

The ribbon layer dropdown gets a live search field above the list
(cleared when the dropdown closes, panel height tracks the filtered
count), and the Layer Manager toolbar gets one too. Both filter by
case-insensitive substring while toggle/rename messages keep the
original row indices, so acting on a filtered row hits the right layer.

A thin divider after the Name header resizes the column by drag
(60-640 px, session-persistent), riding the shared modal drag flow.
The name elide budget follows the column width, so widening the
column reveals long layer names; the hover tooltip stays for overflow.

App preferences were spread across six flat plain-text files (settings.txt,
recent.txt, recent_limit.txt, statusbar.txt, ribbon.txt, plot.txt), each with a
bespoke line parser and no grouping. Replace them with a single grouped JSON,
serialized via serde (enabling the derive feature; serde_json was already a
dependency).
- New app/config.rs: AppConfig { settings, recent, statusbar, ribbon, plot } →
<config>/settings.json (pretty JSON), load()/save().
- Make UserSettings, StatusBarConfig/StatusPill, CollapseMode and
PlotDialogState serde-derived; #[serde(skip)] marks the plot dialog's runtime
fields so only print preferences persist. Their bespoke .txt load/save is
removed.
- App gains current_config/apply_config/save_config: one AppConfig::load at
startup distributes into live state; every settings-change site
(persist_settings_if_changed, recent add/remove/limit, status-bar pill
toggle, ribbon density, plot commit) routes through save_config, which diffs
against the last write to avoid thrashing.
- Clean start: the old flat files are ignored (no migration). ocad.pgp stays a
separate hand-editable file.

Command aliases (L→LINE, CC→COPYCLIP) were scattered across dispatch match
arms and CommandRegistration name arrays. Move them all into a single
user-editable file:
- assets/ocad.pgp: shipped default alias table (ALIAS,*COMMAND format),
embedded and copied to config/ocad.pgp on first launch; only that user
copy is read after. AA→AREA default closes#286.
- resolve_alias() rewrites the leading command token at the top of
dispatch_command_inner, so aliases resolve for every path (families,
plugins, Repeat menu). Args after the first space are untouched.
- Autocomplete hides alias keys and, when the whole input is an alias,
surfaces its target command as the top (highlighted) suggestion so the
highlight matches what Enter runs (AA→AREA, L→LINE).
- ALIASEDIT opens a new editor modal (add/edit/delete rows) with an Apply
button; Apply persists to ocad.pgp, closing discards unapplied edits.
- Strip alias tokens from all 8 dispatch match-arm files and 71 module
CommandRegistration arrays, keeping canonical/synonym/distinct-command
names. ocad.pgp is now the sole source: deleting or remapping an alias
there takes effect. CUI stays on the keyboard-shortcut panel.

Restructure the plot dialog into a style-manager-style master/detail: a
left list of page setups plus a right settings editor. The list shows
<none> (defaults + PDF) and <previous> (the settings the dialog opened
with), then the drawing's layouts (*Model*, *Layout1*, …) and its
standalone named page setups.
- Named page setups live in the ACAD_PLOTSETTINGS dictionary
(src/scene/page_setup.rs: names/get/save/delete/rename, creating the
dictionary if absent); DWG round-trip verified.
- Toolbar New / Copy / Delete | Set current / Preview / Print. Selecting
a row loads it into the editor; Set current writes to the active
layout. Copy duplicates a layout or a setup into a new named setup;
Delete/Rename apply only to named setups.
- Scene::plot_settings_for(name) generalizes effective_plot_settings so
any layout's settings can be loaded; on open the settings are
snapshotted for <previous>.
- Default selection: model space → <none>; a layout → its own setup.

Replace the old Page Setup panel with a single OCS-styled plot/print
dialog (dropdowns for printer, paper, orientation, rotation, plot area,
scale, quality, shaded plot; checkboxes for plot options). PLOT / PRINT
/ PAGESETUP all open it.
- Printer output via lp: -d printer, -n copies, -o ColorModel=Gray,
print-quality, Resolution; Windows printto verb; list_printers via
lpstat. Preview opens a temp PDF in the OS viewer (never a save
dialog). PDF export reuses the tested pipeline.
- Window pick returns to the new dialog (was the old Page Setup) and the
clipped window plot drives PDF / printer / preview.
- Remember the user's print preferences across sessions in
config/plot.txt (printer, copies, quality, output options, area,
scale); drawing-specific fields (offset/center/rotation) seed from the
layout. Default plot area Window, scale Fit.
- Delete src/ui/window/page_setup.rs and its ModalKind / Message /
buffer state; fold on_page_setup_commit into apply_plot_page_settings.

Pick a rectangular window in model space with the existing PLOTWINDOW command (now enabled in model space, previously paper-space only) and export it to a PDF at a chosen ISO paper size (A4-A0), orientation and scale (fit or ratio). The window is a hard clip boundary. Adds paper-size presets, a window-to-sheet transform, scale + clip support in the PDF exporter, and Page Setup controls (format/orientation/pick window).
The Layer Manager table and the ribbon's quick layer dropdown both
showed layers in document (insertion) order. Default the panel sort to
Name so both list layers alphabetically; a header click still re-sorts
by any other column. `apply_sort` reorders the panel's layer vector in
place, which the ribbon dropdown reads, so one default covers both.
With alphabetical ordering a freshly created layer can land anywhere in
a long list, so give the table scrollable an id and scroll its row into
view after creation, keeping the rename prompt visible.
