Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
Replace the raw sentinel input with typed CAD lineweight options so special
values display correctly and unsupported values cannot be entered.
Refs #522
Hold edit leases and compare disk fingerprints before replacement so another editor cannot be silently overwritten.
Offer retry, reload, Save As, or explicit overwrite recovery.
Closes#498
Keep resident wires, draw depths, GPU slabs, and edit history incremental across entity changes. Defer rollover work to avoid cursor jumps on dense drawings.
Replace full-document snapshots with Arc first-touch deltas and batch cache invalidation. Reuse interaction and GPU category caches across unrelated edits.
The embedded DWG preview was the whole drawing fit to a canvas, encoded
as a 24-bit uncompressed DIB (~180 KB at 256²) — the bulk of the gap
between an OCS-saved file and AutoCAD's. Three changes:
- Frame it like the screen. `from_scene` now projects every wire vertex
through the live camera into a viewport-aspect canvas, so the thumbnail
is the current pan / zoom / rotation and only the visible region, not
the full extent. Off-screen / clipped segments don't draw (a `None`
projection or NaN separator breaks the polyline run). Works for any
view. `stamp_thumbnail` passes the model pane's pixel size and the
target version.
- PNG for R2013+ (AC1027+). A line drawing on a flat background is almost
one colour, so PNG collapses to a few KB. PNG previews are only valid
from R2013, so older targets keep a BMP.
- BMP is now 8-bit palettised, BI_RLE8-compressed (was 24-bit raw). The
long single-colour runs of a preview compress to a handful of KB; a
view with >256 colours (rare) falls back to the 24-bit DIB. A full
256-entry palette is written so the reader's `(1<<bpp)*4` pixel-data
offset lands correctly.
Net: the preview drops from ~120 KB to ~2-5 KB on every version.

The Save-As dialog hard-coded the format dropdown to the latest
(DWG/DXF 2018) regardless of what was opened, so a round-trip silently
re-targeted the version. Default it to the loaded document's own version
and DWG-vs-DXF kind instead (from `document.version` + the file
extension), which always matches one of the dropdown options. A new,
unsaved drawing keeps its document default. QSAVE on an existing file
already preserved the version; only Save-As was wrong.

entity_wires() cloned the entire wire set — every point, fill, and snap
buffer of every entity — on each call, although the set is already
memoized behind an Arc and none of the 18 call sites mutates it. On
large mesh imports (#358: 42M faces, ~210 MB of wire content per 1M
triangles) that is a multi-GB allocation + memcpy on every pick, snap,
selection, or plot pass.
Return the Arc instead. Call sites iterate as before; the two
window-plot paths that build a culled owned subset now clone only the
wires inside the plot window, and the print pipeline moves the Arc into
its async task.
Measured (tests/mem_probe_meshent.rs, 1M-triangle MESH, release):
resident after entity_wires() drops 758 -> 547 MB (866 -> 646 B/face).

PICKADD 0 = click/box/lasso replaces the selection (Shift toggles),
empty click clears; PICKADD 1 (default) keeps today's accumulate.
PICKDRAG 1 = press-drag spans a rectangle marquee through the box
machinery; PICKDRAG 0 (default) keeps the freeform lasso. Both persist
in settings.json. Also re-points the start-page gate test at the
start_allowed fn it moved into (#388/389 refactor left it broken).

PEDIT reworked around a mode machine:
- Picking a line/arc asks "Object is not a polyline. Turn it into one?
[Yes/No] <Y>" — Yes converts in place (arc keeps its bulge) and
editing continues on the result. Pickfirst: an already-selected
polyline skips the select step, a selected line/arc goes straight to
the convert prompt.
- Join gathers with the normal selection system (single picks AND
window/crossing boxes) and merges through the JOIN machinery.
- Fit replaces every segment with a classic equal-parameter BIARC: two
arcs per segment meeting tangentially at an inserted knee, both
segments at a vertex sharing that vertex's tangent — the whole run is
tangent-continuous (verified: zero tangent jump on L/closed/zigzag/S
shapes). Spline resamples the vertex frame as a uniform cubic
B-spline (8 samples per span); Decurve straightens every bulge.
- Earlier hardening kept: undo snapshot before the mutation, immediate
repaint, polyline-only pick validation.
- Vertex editing lives on grips, so no Edit-vertex submode; instead the
vertex grip hover menu gains Break — a closed polyline opens at the
vertex, an open one splits into two (interior vertices only),
handled driver-side as an entity replacement.
JOIN itself: segs_of now emits one segment per span of an OPEN
polyline (bulges kept), so polylines merge with their neighbours —
PEDIT Join's set always contains the target polyline and used to abort
every time; plain JOIN had the same gap. JOIN also honours pickfirst:
launched with two or more objects selected it joins them immediately.
Closes#263

Holding Shift while a command asks for a point captures the nearest
polar increment (or ortho axis, UCS-aware) from the rubber-band base
toward the cursor and pins the pick to that ray. Every candidate —
osnap hits included — projects onto the locked direction, so a snap far
off-axis contributes only its along-axis component; the click commits
exactly what the preview shows. The direction stays fixed while Shift
is held and drops the moment it releases. Grip drags get the same lock
from the grip origin.
Guards: engages only when the active command wants a point — never
during entity picks (Shift there is the TRIM/EXTEND swap), tangent
picks, selection gathering or window-corner picks.
Closes#312

Grip drags mutated the document without ever pushing history — dragging
a polyline vertex (or any grip) could not be undone. The release-commit
now swaps the pre-drag backup in, snapshots that PRE state as a "GRIP"
entry, swaps the dragged result back and clears the redo stack; the
Esc-cancel path is unchanged and a no-move engaging click records
nothing.
Ctrl+Z during a drawing command steps the command instead of the
document undo swallowing the in-progress object (which also killed the
active command): new CadCommand::on_undo_step hook, consulted before
undo_active_tab. PLINE pops its last vertex (shared with the U option),
LINE reverts the last committed segment and keeps drawing from the
previous point (rides its existing U/UndoDocument path), and ARC
Continue reverts the last arc and resumes from the prior anchor with
the correct tangent via a new anchor history. With nothing placed yet
each falls through to the document undo.
Also drops the two warnings the #336 work left behind (unused Entity
import, dead Snapper::override_active).
Closes#332

Both commands gain a shared option mode machine:
- Cutting/Boundary edges (T/B): pick which objects act as the boundary
(picked edges highlight yellow, the hovered candidate half-strength);
Enter rebuilds the boundary set, empty = everything (quick mode).
- Fence (F): draw a dashed fence; every object crossing it is trimmed /
extended at each crossing, re-applied to the surviving pieces so a
fence across both overhanging ends clears both. Live red/cyan result
preview while placing points.
- Crossing (C): crossing-selection semantics — the dashed green window
picks objects crossing its edges AND wholly inside; runs through the
fence machinery with a synthesized inside click.
- Edge (E): boundaries extrapolate (lines run past their ends, arcs
close to full circles). Cuts that land on an implied extension draw a
dashed yellow guide from the boundary's drawn end to the cut point,
so the user sees which edge causes the cut. Extend previews also show
the added tail as a bright dashed slice of the true curve.
- Erase (R, TRIM): picks delete without needing an intersection, with a
red hover preview.
- Shift+click swaps trim<->extend per pick (new set_shift plumbing into
the entity-pick and hover paths); the hover preview follows the held
state. Project is out of scope for the 2D pipeline.
The per-type pick bodies moved to shared free fns (pick_trim_at /
pick_extend_at) used by direct picks, hover previews and the fence
pass; EXTEND's snapshot bookkeeping unified with TRIM's placeholder
flow. Option keywords now take precedence over the hex-handle reading
in feed_active_cmd ("F"/"C"/"E" are valid hex), and fence geos carry
sentinel handles — probing with NULL against NULL-handle geos excluded
the whole fence. Regression test: fence_trims_x_arm.

iced's clipboard rides window_clipboard, which has no wasm backend — a
focused text_input captured Ctrl+C/V on the web and did nothing.
Ctrl+V (captured, wasm only): read the async browser clipboard (the
keypress is a user gesture, so it's permitted) and replay the text as
synthetic KeyboardEvents on the winit canvas — the only route into a
focused text_input, since iced exposes no insert-text operation.
Control characters are dropped and the length is capped. The MText and
inline-TEXT editors keep their dedicated paste paths (no double feed),
and an unfocused Ctrl+V still runs PASTECLIP.
Ctrl+C (captured, wasm only): a widget operation pairs each text_input
with its focus state (iced fires both callbacks back-to-back on the
same widget) to collect the focused field's visible text, then writes
it with navigator.clipboard.writeText. Whole-field text, not the
selection — iced doesn't expose the selected range.
Native behaviour is unchanged.
Closes#346

Shift+right-click in the viewport opens a cursor-anchored grid of snap
icons (names as hover tooltips). Picking one engages a one-shot
override: only that snap applies — even with running osnap off — until
the next point pick commits, which restores the saved configuration.
Esc drops an unconsumed override; an outside click closes the menu.
The status-bar snap toggles are untouched — this is a separate,
temporary mechanism.
Covers items 1 and 2 of #337 (mid-between-two-points still pending).

Three fixes to the polyline arc-segment grip:
- bulge_from_midpoint keyed the sign off which chord side the midpoint
lies on — the opposite convention of BulgeArc::from_bulge, so every
grip-drag frame flipped the arc to the other side and the radius
jumped wildly ("snaps to a restricted range of radii"). It now
derives sign and sweep from the p0 -> mid -> p1 traversal
orientation, verified as the exact inverse of BulgeArc's midpoint.
- The arc segment's mid grip dragged in Translate mode, feeding
per-frame deltas through the recomputed arc midpoint — the drag
deadlocked the moment the cursor crossed the chord. Arc grips now
drag in Absolute mode: the arc re-fits through the cursor itself.
Straight-segment grips keep the Translate stretch.
- Picking Convert to Arc in the grip menu now engages that segment
grip (the Add Leader placement mechanic), so the new arc follows the
mouse immediately and the next click seats it.
Closes#339

Dropping a supported file (dwg / dxf / bak / sv$, case-insensitive)
opens it through the existing open flow: an already-open drawing
switches to its tab, a load in progress queues the drop behind it
(multi-file drops arrive one event each), anything unsupported reports
on the command line instead of failing silently in the parser.
Platform support follows winit 0.30: Windows, macOS and Linux/X11
(incl. XWayland) deliver FileDropped; the Wayland backend does not
implement file drag & drop yet, so drops are inert there until winit
gains it.

- Block reference Name (Misc) is editable: the dropdown re-points the
insert to another definition; typing a new name renames the definition
everywhere (record re-key, Block marker, every INSERT reference).
Anonymous (*) and xref blocks stay read-only, with the same guards
added to Scene::rename_block.
- Custom single-control dropdown (text field + caret) built on the
shared floating_below overlay so the list always opens downward,
unlike iced's space-based menu placement.
- Consecutive "<Base> X/Y/Z" rows (Position, Scale, Start, Center, ...)
collapse into one expandable summary row across all entities; the
expand state persists across rebuilds and selection changes.
- The BEDIT block tab no longer offers the layout Rename/Delete
context menu.

Tool highlights used to stick: every click set active_tool, but only
interactive commands and a hand-maintained per-modal list ever cleared
it, so one-shots (Cleanup/AUDIT, view actions) and unlisted dialogs
(Customization/ALIASEDIT, CUI, Plugin Manager…) stayed blue forever.
Now the rule is mechanical: state toggles light from state only (the
click highlight drops immediately), interactive commands stay lit
while running, dialog openers stay lit until the modal closes (generic
clear replaces the per-modal list), and one-shots never keep it — the
dispatch site turns the highlight off when nothing stayed running.
On the Start tab, tools whose command the start gate refuses now render
dimmed (grey icon + label) across all button styles, dropdowns and the
quick-access strip; start_allowed() is the single shared authority.

A typed dynamic-input value (TAB-locked angle or distance) now shapes
the rubber-band: the cursor point is routed through dyn_resolve_point —
the same resolution Enter commits — in the mouse-move preview and the
click commit, so a locked 30° pins the line's direction while the free
field keeps tracking the cursor. The lock wins over osnap/ortho/polar.
TAB (and the comma advance) reshape the preview immediately instead of
waiting for the next mouse move.

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.

Deleting/renaming Standard was already blocked in the five style
managers, but a file saved without the built-ins (foreign or damaged)
opened with broken style dropdowns and nothing to reference — re-seed
missing Standard text/dim/table/mleader/mline styles on every open.
Every modal dialog now shows its name in the title bar: centred at
15px across the dialog width, with the move grip and close button
overlaid at the right edge. The bar takes an explicit width from the
caller — a Fill child inside the Shrink frame would blow the dialog
out to the full screen.

Modern DWG (R2000+) has no file slot for OSMODE — reading a file left
the header at 0, and adopt_header_sysvars wiped the user's running snap
set on every open. Persist the set (as an $OSMODE-style bitmask) in
settings.json, save it on every snap toggle, and only let a file
override it when it actually carries a nonzero mask (R13/R14 DWG, DXF).

A reopened file renders dimensions from the *D block baked on save, so
grip drags only moved definition points while the stale block kept
drawing — grips worked on fresh dimensions but died after a roundtrip.
Route the grip drag, grip-menu actions and typed grip-menu values
through invalidate_dim_block (#181) so tessellation falls back to live
geometry and the next save re-bakes.
