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*).
A unitless block has no source length to convert from, so falling back to
MEASUREMENT gave it an inches or millimetres identity it never had and
scaled the reference on insert. The properties panel reported unit_factor
1.0 for the same insert.
Skip the conversion when either the block or the drawing is unitless.
Fixes#706.
The \\\x01attr\\x01…\ sentinel-prefixed string was used to tell geometry
fields (\&'static str\ names) apart from block attribute rows (runtime
tags) in \ctive_field\ and \dit_buf\. Replace it with a \FieldKey\
enum (\Geom(&'static str)\ / \Attr(String)\), so the two namespaces can't
collide by construction: \dit_buf\ is now \HashMap<FieldKey, String>\,
\ctive_field\ is \Option<FieldKey>\, and the sentinel decoding in
\ctive_key_id\ is replaced by \FieldKey::widget_id\.
While touching the key plumbing, replace \prop_field_key_for_id\'s
per-event scan of every section x prop (with a \String\ format per
candidate) with an O(1) precomputed \HashMap<iced::widget::Id, FieldKey>\
(\ ield_key_by_id\), built once in \
efresh_properties\ alongside the
sections — and rebuilt after \make_sections_read_only\ so rows demoted
to read-only stop mapping. \PropSyncActive\ now does a single map lookup
per event.
Clicking an editable property value field now selects its entire value instead
of only placing the caret, so typing immediately replaces it. The click is
observed through a global left-press subscription (PropPointerPressed); a focus
sweep reports which widget took focus and PropSyncActive maps it back to the
active property row, then issues a select-all operation only when focus landed
on a different field.
The active row stays highlighted while its text input holds keyboard focus and
clears when focus moves elsewhere.
A text style with a non-zero height fixes the size of everything drawn in
it — the CAD that writes the file skips the height prompt for such a
style, and shows the height without letting it be changed. OCS offered
the field either way, so a drawing could be edited into disagreeing with
its own style.
The height row is now read-only when the style fixes it, for TEXT, MTEXT
and both attribute kinds. `num_prop` already draws a numeric row either
way, so the value still reads the same, just grey.
The panel builders are handed an entity, not the document it came from,
and widening that trait would touch every entity type. The lookup rides
beside the unit context instead, seeded from the same place, since it
answers the same kind of question: something the drawing settles that a
row needs in order to render itself.

A DIMENSION references the block "that contains the entities that make up
the dimension picture", and that block is the picture: AutoCAD requires
it and draws it, BricsCAD draws it when present and only renders from the
dimension variables when it is missing. OCS re-derived the picture from
DIMVARS every time and ignored the block entirely.
That works while a style agrees with what the drawing actually drew. A
Revit-exported schedule here does not: its style stores DIMTXT already in
drawing units beside a DIMSCALE meant to scale it, so the text came out
three hundred times too tall, and each dimension carries a DIMFXL
override that is likewise already in drawing units, so the extension
lines ran nearly a million units past the points they measure.
Neither is guesswork about units now. The block holds the geometry the
drawing was authored with, so it is drawn: the contents are already in
world space and the block's base point is the origin, and the identity
instance that carries them exists only to reuse the scene graph's
ByBlock / layer-0 colour resolution. Every wire answers to the dimension,
so a pick still selects the dimension rather than one of its pieces.
Re-deriving stays as the fallback for a dimension with no block.
Annotative dimensions keep the old path: their several representations
are separate blocks and choosing between them is what the annotation
machinery already does, while the doctrine above assumes one picture.
A picture is only good while its inputs hold, so it is dropped when they
change: editing a dimension's properties, and saving the dimension style
it is drawn with. Entity edits already dropped it.

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.

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.
Keep new vertices in grip placement until click and restore the original entity on Escape. Correct reverse direction and segment metadata across polyline variants.\n\nRefs #610
Avoid full document, cache, and GPU rebuilds for entity deltas so add, delete, history, selection, and live polyline edits stay responsive on large drawings.
