Enable in-place editing of inherited properties in the Properties panel:
- Transparency: Switch to PropValue::EditChoice with ByLayer and ByBlock presets to allow direct typing of any numeric percentage value (0..90%) without combo_box autocomplete interference.
- Select-all-on-click: Integrate EditChoice text inputs into build_field_key_map with dedicated widget IDs, preserving click-to-select-all across editable fields.
- Material: Provide bounded preset choices (ByLayer, ByBlock, Global, and active custom material) to avoid scanning large drawing dictionaries.
- Plot style: Implement mode-aware behavior with interactive Choice in STB mode and ReadOnlyWithTooltip in CTB mode.
- Read-only tooltips: Introduce PropValue::ReadOnlyWithTooltip to provide contextual explanations for locked fields while preserving mouse text selection and clipboard copying.
- Dropdown alignment & unified borders: Fix EditChoice internal input/caret background clipping so the container's 1px neutral/active border surrounds the entire control identically to Lineweight and text inputs.
- Document defaults & aggregation: Synchronize document header defaults when editing with No selection, and aggregate heterogeneous multi-selections (*VARIES*).
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.
