A paper layout painted its whole canvas in the page colour, so the sheet
had no visible edge — zooming out never reached one, because the surround
was the same colour as the page. Floating viewports then painted
themselves black over it.
Both come from the same idea, that a viewport's canvas is a colour it can
be handed. What lies behind a viewport depends on what the viewport is:
- The full-canvas sheet shows the desk. `paper_bg_color` is the page, and
the page is a bounded rectangle `paper_sheet_fill` already draws; using
it for the canvas too erased the boundary between them. The desk is now
its own colour, defined once in the scene and read by both the widget
and the renderer, so the two cannot drift apart.
- A floating viewport sits on that sheet and must paint no canvas at all.
Handing it a transparent one does not work: the background shader
returns an opaque colour whatever alpha it is given, so alpha zero came
out black. Skipping the pass is the only way to ask for see-through, so
`skip_background` now suppresses both the clear and the pass. It is part
of the frame signature too — without that, a cached frame would keep
showing the canvas the flag was just turned off for.
Shading and fog still blend toward what is behind a floating viewport,
which is the page, so the uniform keeps that colour even though nothing
paints it.

A drawing that owns no annotation scales is shown the standard set, which
`scale_list` substitutes whenever the drawing's own list is empty. The
first thing to need a real scale object — an annotative dimension, a pick
from the status bar, a viewport scale — wrote just the one it wanted. The
drawing then had a list of its own, of exactly one entry, so the
substitution stopped and every other scale disappeared from the picker.
Bring the whole set in before writing that first scale. It is the set the
drawing was already being shown, so nothing appears that was not on offer
a moment earlier, and the drawing ends up owning its scales the way one
that shipped with a list does.
The seeding itself already existed for the scale manager, which stages it
on open; it simply was not reachable from the path that writes a scale.

Only Previous and Last were on offer, so Window, Crossing, Fence, the two
polygons and All could not be reached at all -- and with no keyboard to
type them into, the buttons were the only way in.
Window and Crossing fix the sense of the next box. Dragging derives that
from the direction the corner travels and would overwrite it the moment
the corner moved, so the derivation stands down while a keyword holds it.
Add and Remove decide what a pick does for the rest of the round: Remove
subtracts the way Shift already does, rather than through PICKADD, which
decides whether a pick *replaces* the set and so would have wiped
everything gathered so far. Both are dropped when the next command
starts, since neither outlives the selection that asked for them.
Fence and the polygons are picked point by point, which TRIM and EXTEND
already ask for. That gesture -- the points, the rubber-banded dashed
preview, whether the path closes -- moves into one place both bind to,
and the two preview builders duplicated in trim.rs go with it.
A fence is not the polygon test with crossing set: that closes the point
list and counts whatever lies inside, so a line drawn past a row of
objects would take everything behind it too. It gets a hit test that only
counts a real intersection, and skips the area-based geometry entirely.
The lasso gathered its hits from wires, hatches, block hatches, meshes and
block meshes inline; the new modes need the same list, and a second copy
would drift. Both now come through `Scene::path_hit_handles`.

Route model, paper, viewport and nested block content through one traversal while preserving leaf renderers. Carry decoded material state into mesh shading and harden solid geometry conversion.
Preload one language-aware font resource across the interface, drawing text, and navigation labels.\n\nRender the navigation cube, ring, outlines, and labels through a 4x MSAA target.
Keep Layout output on the selected physical sheet and preserve hatch lineweights and plot styles through paper, viewport, and nested block paths.\n\nRefs #607
- unify Model and Paper Space plot area behavior
- add CTB discovery, read/write, and bundled defaults
- apply scale, render mode, and output options consistently
Keep storage fast paths on capable adapters and use packed or texture fallbacks only when device limits require them.\n\nCompact mesh-edge varyings to avoid WebGL shader rejection.
Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
Remap immutable base candidates and cache only changed-wire indexes so block-heavy drawings avoid rebuilding millions of primitives on pointer movement. Build 3D BVHs lazily for plan views.
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.
Two rendering defects surfaced on the budweiser benchmark drawings, both
tied to a drawing's annotation scale.
Annotative scale representations. A drawing may materialise each annotation
scale as its own object (here a block insert per scale, on a "0 @ <scale>"
layer, each carrying a per-object AcDbContextData bound to one scale).
Nothing filtered them, so every scale drew at once — a 1× copy stacked
under a 10× one. Add annotative::annotative_offscale and apply it in the
three paths that expand block content: the wire block-defn cache, the
resident/top-level visibility gate (model space only — paper viewports use
their per-viewport frozen scale layers), and the exploded-insert hatch/fill
walk (filtered before normalize strips the handle). An object is shown when
a representation matches the current scale; the off-scale ones are hidden.
When the current scale is unsupported by any representation, fall back to
the base "1:1" copy instead of hiding everything (the object must not
vanish) or showing everything (the copies must not stack).
Model-space linetype scale. PSLTSCALE (a paper-space flag) was applied to
model-space linetypes via the annotation scale, so a drawing saved at e.g.
CANNOSCALE 10:1 drew its linetypes 10× off. Thread a `paper_space` flag
through tessellate_entity and gate the PSLTSCALE factor on it, so it only
scales linetypes for content shown inside a paper-space viewport; model
space keeps LTSCALE × CELTSCALE.

A dimension bakes its geometry into a per-instance *D block, offset into
the owning block by the dimension insertion_point. When that dimension
sits inside a block (INSERT → block → Dimension → *D), only its top-level
form drew; nested it rendered nothing, and once the lines/text/arrow
outlines were routed through the block cache the arrowhead FILLS were
still missing:
- 2D SOLID arrowheads: block_cache's Dimension arm now expands the *D
block, translating each sub by insertion_point (WCS → block-local) and
routing Insert subs through build_nested_ref, others through
tessellate_sub_local (which emits the solid fill_tris).
- Insert(hatch) arrowheads (custom arrow blocks = LwPolyline + Hatch):
the hatch renders via the separate GPU explosion path, which only
descends INSERT→INSERT→Hatch trees and so never reached a hatch behind
a Dimension. block_has_hatch now recurses through a Dimension into its
*D block, and the fill explosion's new explode_including_dims lifts
each dimension child's *D content into the owning block's frame
(translate insertion_point, then apply the insert transform) so its
arrow inserts / hatches ride the normal walk.
Table *T baked blocks get the mirror treatment in block_cache.

entity_wires() returns the memoized Arc instead of a per-call deep copy;
MESH entities over 50k vertices ship no per-vertex snap/key tables
(matching PolyfaceMesh/PolygonMesh); the Face3D/other render split
caches a None marker and uses the base set directly when there is no
Face3D wire; test fix for the depth-map BlockCache::build signature.
Reviewed: correctness sound — wire AABB comes from entity_aabb (not
key_vertices) so large meshes stay selectable; snap consumers are
empty-guarded; the Arc/strong_count reasoning for try_resident_patch
holds. One consistent pre-existing quirk noted (auto_fit_viewport
centroid excludes tableless meshes, as Poly*Mesh already do).
