Picking the cloud opens the Extract Section Lines from Point Cloud
dialog with the reference's settings and defaults: entire cross section
or perimeter only, maximum points to process (slider and field, with
the estimated time), output layer (Use Current or a layer), colour,
lines or 2D polylines with their width, minimum line length and connect
lines tolerance (each measurable by two points on screen), collinear
angle tolerance (0-10) and Preview result. Create extracts; with the
preview it asks [Accept/Settings/Undo] and Settings reopens the dialog.
The settings are kept for the session. Automation action pc_section.

POINTCLOUDCOLORMAP asks for a cloud (or None for the drawing's default
schemes) and opens the Point Cloud Color Map dialog: intensity and
elevation tabs with the scheme list, New / Delete / Rename, number of
colours (2-25, resampled along the scheme), blend between the ends,
reverse, gradient or bands, the colorized range, the out-of-range
choice and, for elevation, the cloud's extents or a fixed range with its
band height. OK / Apply write the drawing's colour map (created under
ACAD_POINTCLOUD_COLORMAP_DICT when missing) and the cloud's colouring in
one undo step; Make stylization current sets the tab's stylization.
Values outside a scheme's range take the end colours, the scan colours
or are hidden. Automation action pc_colormap edits the dialog.

POINTCLOUDATTACH opens the Attach Point Cloud dialog after the file is
chosen; its Attach button lives in the Attach Underlay list instead of a
separate Insert panel. A selected cloud brings the crop tools to the
right-edge toolbar. POINTCLOUDSTYLIZE sets the stylization with the
reference's prompts, the External References palette lists point clouds
(unload, reload, detach, path), and definitions keep the header extents.

- Insert > Reference: the PDF Attach button becomes an Attach Underlay menu
(PDF / DWF / DGN); its face runs the last one chosen.
- DWFATTACH, DGNATTACH and ATTACH on a .dwf/.dwfx/.dgn open the Attach
dialog for that kind: sheets or models with thumbnails (one chosen),
placement, path type, file details with the sheet / model size, and for
DGN the conversion units (sub units offer 1 / sub units per master as the
scale).
- DGN V8 true colours come from the ExtendedColors record packed in the
non-model attributes stream; the colour word's high part numbers them.
- A DGN model's extent includes each text's box (its length along the
baseline and 1.5 x its height), as the reference sizes a model.
- DWFx text uses the family named in its embedded (deobfuscated) font.
- DWF contrast pivots at 0.73 once colours are turned over for a dark
background.
- Hairline strokes are drawn solid one pixel wide, and underlay rasters are
made at or below their size on screen so those lines stay unbroken.

- PDFOSNAP, DWFOSNAP and DGNOSNAP are separate; UOSNAP sets them all and
reads 2 while they differ. Enable Snap switches the selected kind's.
- DWFCLIP / DGNCLIP clip their own kind with the kind's prompts and message;
CLIP routes DWF and DGN underlays there; Enter at a corner asks again.
- The right-edge underlay tools show for DWF and DGN too (import is PDF
only).
- Underlay layers: DGN levels (V8 level table, "Default" listed as "0"; V7
used levels named from the level name table), hidden through the layer
override data with the DGN placeholder string first; a plotted DWF has
none.
- V8 colour read from its colour word (by level, index, or a true colour
drawn as its nearest index); 3D V8 elements drawn in plan (lines, line
strings, ellipses and arcs by their orientation, text); a model's extent
includes its text.
- DWF 6 TrueType text (font, height, rotation from the font opcode) and DWFx
glyph runs are drawn; the default W2D colour map is the measured one.
- Contrast pulls lightness towards a per-kind pivot as measured (PDF 0.5,
DWF 0.243, DGN 0.65).
- Zoom extents includes raster images and underlays whose frames are hidden.

The codec and kernel repositories and crates are renamed opencadcodec and
opencadkernel. Inside OCS they are depended on under short keys, so code
reads `codec::`, `kernel::` and the new `graph::` (opencadgraph, the node
graph engine). File-format and protocol spellings stay as they were: the
ACIS product id `acadrust`, the ACADRUST_* switches and the plugin
version keys `acadrust_version` / `acadrust_source`.
A button left of MCP on the command line opens a translucent node graph
over the viewport, with a palette of object, input, math, logic, list,
text and geometry nodes added by click or drag. An object node owns
drawing entities and its rows are the Properties panel's own rows for
them: the single-object page is extracted from refresh_properties as
entity_property_sections, values use the control protocol's
property_json, and writes go through set_property_value with a property
target override, so the panel, MCP and the graph share one read/write
path. A list reaching an object row makes one entity per element. Each
graph action is one undo step; the canvas pans and zooms.
