- Gradients: the middle colour sits (horizon - 0.5) viewport widths from the
centre and blends over height viewport heights each side; two colours
blend over a viewport height each side.
- Image backgrounds: offset in device pixels (right, down), negative scale
mirrors, fitted with aspect ratio covers the viewport; the dialog keeps an
image's offset and scale.
- Layouts: a model-space view restored on a sheet asks for the viewport,
enters it and gives it the view's camera, background and visual style;
inside a viewport the view goes there; a paper-space view's background is
kept on the sheet viewport but not drawn; floating viewports draw their
background.
- Background objects no view or viewport uses any more are erased; a view
without a background restored where the viewport already is leaves the
viewport's background.
- The viewport's named visual style (Realistic, ...) shows by name and the
render-mode picker records its style on the viewport record.

Color, Gradient and Image at the background prompt open a Background
dialog (None / Solid / Gradient / Image, preview, solid colour, two- or
three-colour gradient with rotation, image file with position and
scale). Apply links the view to a new background object in
ACAD_BACKGROUND; restoring a view gives the model viewport a copy of
it (or none), and saving a view copies the viewport's background.

Rebuild the Blocks palette with Current Drawing / Recent / Favorites /
Libraries tabs, wildcard filter, six views, insertion options, click and
drop insertion and a block context menu. INSERT opens the palette, the
new -INSERT runs on the command line, the ribbon Insert button becomes a
block gallery, and BLOCKMRULIST, BLOCKREDEFINEMODE, BLOCKNAVIGATE,
BLOCKSTATE, EXPLMODE and INSNAME are added.

Plane and cylinder picks ask again and section extraction gives nothing
on a scan without segments, as the reference does with unstructured
scans (scan segmentation is not decoded yet). The section dialog's time
estimate reads in minutes.

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.

Points carry their world normal: POINTCLOUDLIGHTING lights them in the
shaded visual styles (1 lit from both sides, 2 with back faces dark),
from the view (POINTCLOUDLIGHTSOURCE 0) or the default lights (1).
The 2D wireframe style draws no cloud points: a found cloud shows its
extents and "Point clouds are not displayed in 2D visual style.",
or nothing with POINTCLOUD2DVSDISPLAY 1. While the view moves only
POINTCLOUDRTDENSITY per cent of the points are drawn; the points are
stored in an order where every leading part samples the whole cloud.
The colour map dialog lists its schemes by name.

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.

- V8 models are placed relative to their global origin (model header).
- A V8 model's extent is the union of its elements' stored ranges; a V7
model's text box is one text height tall.
- Files without a colour table use the standard DGN default table; colour
255 is read from the table's background entry.
- Colours from a file's colour table follow the background: near-white
colours swap with it, and over non-black backgrounds some shades drop a
step.
- DGN contrast pulls towards a pivot taken from the model's own colours,
after the fade, which is blended into the background first.
- Shared cells are read through their full 3D placement, so tilted
instances and 3D definitions are drawn in plan.
- Deleted V8 elements are skipped; lines along the model's extent stay in
the raster.

- 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.

Review of #1489: the chips and the chosen page tiles drew a check mark and
the import preview's previous / next buttons single guillemets as text.
The web build's bundled font has no check-mark glyph, so it showed as an
empty box; UI icons are SVG. The ticks use the CHECK icon in the chip's or
tile's accent colour and the page buttons the shared arrow icons.

Attach PDF Underlay, Underlay Layers, PDF Import Settings and Import PDF
are laid out with rounded cards and accent titles, segmented controls for
path type, import layers and rotation, toggle chips for the on-screen
choices and import options, a page preview with previous/next for Import
PDF, always-visible file details, and a footer with help on the left and
the named action (Attach, Apply, Save, Import) on the right.

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.

- Pin cadcodec upstream at d290dbe (the merged underlay change) and
cadkernel at 4134ae3, which follows it; drop the fork patch, move the
plugin-API and web-worker crates and the Python plugin lock to the same
codec so one copy is built.
- "Import as block" with raster images left IMAGE entities without an
image definition: block definition now creates it like add_entity does,
through one shared helper.
- The three preview outlines (attach frame, clip boundary, import area)
stay f64 instead of casting world points to f32.
- Page size / total / PDF scale entries use the catalog's positional
placeholder; the bare {name} form failed to format in 20 locales.
- The Underlay Layers bulb is the SVG layer icon, not a text glyph.
- PDF dialogs use the shared dialog buttons and radios.
- Options opened from a PDF dialog clears its saved state on return.
- Paper-space underlay background reuses the model block handle already
resolved; dead `let _ = i` lines and a misplaced doc comment removed.
