TRIM, FILLET and EXPLODE each carried their own copy of the same plane
maths. The copies had already drifted apart: `ll` differed only in
parameter names between trim.rs and fillet.rs, `arc_pts` only in which
angle helper it called, and `norm` meant angle normalisation in trim.rs
and explode.rs while meaning vector normalisation in two other files.
The implementations now live in cadkernel's geom2d. A new local `geom`
module adapts the call shapes — the kernel takes `[f64; 2]` points and
returns `[f64; 3]`, while these commands pass loose scalars and feed
`WireModel::points`, which is `[f32; 3]`. Narrowing stays on this side
because only the caller knows whether it is a preview wire, which leaves
`points_low` empty and accepts the loss, or resident geometry, which
splits the f64 into a high/low pair instead.
Call sites are untouched: the kernel functions are imported under the old
local names, so the signatures they were written against still hold.
This also fixes ELLIPSE trim and extend previews. `ellipse_pts` wrote its
components as [x, z, y] while `arc_pts` — reached from the same match in
`entity_pts`, feeding the same `[f32; 3]` — wrote [x, y, z], and
`WireModel::points` is documented as world-space positions. Ellipse
previews were collapsing onto y = 0 and displacing along Z. The kernel's
`ellipse_arc` orders them correctly, so delegating corrects it.

STRETCH ended itself when a crossing window caught nothing, so a missed
aim meant restarting the command to try again. A missed aim is not a
decision to stop: say what happened and ask for the corner afresh, the
way a selection that picks nothing leaves MOVE still asking.
Enter now ends the selection stage too. With objects already picked the
window is only there to narrow them, so there is nothing left to choose
— Enter takes a window containing all of them, which stretches every
vertex, which is the whole selection moving. That is what a
pick-selected stretch means. With nothing picked there is nothing to
end, so Enter still cancels. The prompt says so.
Not changed: with a prior selection, a window that misses every vertex
still goes on to ask for the base point. The command holds wires, not
entities, and the entity rules do not follow the wires — a small window
inside a circle catches its centre, and so the whole circle, while no
tessellated vertex is inside. Guarding on the wires would refuse that
stretch.

DIMLINEAR chose its measurement axis from the two extension line origins
alone, taking the longer of their x and y differences. Every line tilted
less than 45° therefore came out horizontal and stayed horizontal, no
matter where the dimension line was dragged.
The third pick is what answers the question. A linear dimension reports
the run or the rise; pulling the dimension line clear of the points above
or below asks for the horizontal distance, pulling it out to the side
asks for the vertical one.
"Clear of the points" is measured against their extent, not their
midpoint. A dimension line dragged straight up from near one end of a
long pair is still above them even though it is a long way from the
middle, and a midpoint test would call that sideways. When the location
is inside the pair on both axes it has not said anything yet, so the
longer side still decides.
Nothing else needed changing: the measurement already projects onto the
rotation axis, and the block builder already derives the dimension line
and both extension lines from 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.

The status-bar units button wrote INSUNITS, which nothing on screen reads.
INSUNITS only tells the drawing how to scale content arriving from
elsewhere, so picking a unit relabelled the drawing and changed nothing
visible — the selector looked broken because the variable it moved was
invisible.
Point the button at LUNITS instead, the setting that decides how every
coordinate and distance is written, and give the three questions the word
"units" runs together a place each:
- The button offers the five length formats, each shown beside a sample of
itself, so Engineering and Architectural are told apart by sight.
- UNITS / DDUNITS opens a real dialog: length and angle format and
precision, the direction angle zero points, whether positive angles run
clockwise, and the insertion unit. Its sample comes from the same
formatters the drawing uses, so it cannot drift from the readout.
- DWGUNITS converts. Model geometry, viewport framing, the header's length
defaults and each dimension style's scale all move together in one undo
step; paper space is left alone, since the sheet is still the same sheet.
Locked layers are converted too — a half-converted drawing would be at
two scales at once.
The coordinate readout formatted at four decimal places whatever the
drawing asked for; it now goes through the same format_length the
properties panel uses. That made the angle formats reachable in turn, so
degrees-minutes-seconds now carries the d/'/" marks that say which
convention it is, and surveyor's units are written at all.
Typed input is still plain decimal: a length the readout writes as
5'-6 1/2" cannot yet be typed back. ANGBASE and ANGDIR are stored but not
yet applied to displayed directions.

Drawings arrive from elsewhere carrying someone else's layer names, and
folding them into a set of house layers meant renaming and merging by
hand, one layer at a time.
LAYTRANS reads a layer set out of another drawing and moves this one onto
it. Given a file it maps every name the two already share and translates
at once, which is all most incoming drawings need. Bare, it opens a
translator: the drawing's layers on one side, the loaded set on the
other, mappings built up between them and applied only on Translate, so a
mapping can be reconsidered and the whole translation is a single undo
step. Mappings can be saved and read back, objects can be forced to
ByLayer so the target layer's properties are what actually shows, and the
result can be written out as a log.
The move itself is the one LAYMRG already made for a single pair, so
LAYMRG now goes through it too rather than keeping its own copy.
Three things fell out for free or nearly so. A standards file is a
drawing, so .dws and .dwt need nothing but a place in the file filter.
The entity list is flat and holds block definitions, so objects inside
blocks travel with everything else instead of being stranded on a layer
that no longer exists. And a target layer that this drawing already has
is left alone: the drawing has an opinion about it, and restyling it
would reach past what was asked for -- only newly created targets take
the standard's properties.
Mappings are saved beside the drawing rather than inside a DWS. That is
where AutoCAD keeps them, but putting them there would mean inventing a
place in the drawing that nothing else reads back.

The ribbon offered four styles and dispatched each one's id as a command.
Two of those ids were not visual-style commands: "Shaded" carried SOLID,
which draws a 2D filled polygon, so choosing it started a draw command;
"Hidden" carried HIDDEN, which matched nothing at all, so it did nothing.
The intent had been for the button to fire its tool's event, but the
dropdown never reads one -- it dispatches the id.
Behind that sat two generations of the same feature. The render-mode
picker offered the seven styles a viewport can actually be drawn in;
everything else -- the ribbon, VSCURRENT, SHADEMODE, VISUALSTYLES and a
handful of bare verbs -- went through a binary wireframe-or-shaded flag
that could only approximate them, reporting "Hidden (shown shaded)" and
"X-Ray (shown as wireframe)" when asked for something it had no way to
draw. Four descriptions of one choice, each drifting on its own.
There is one list now. Each style names itself once -- mode, label, icon,
and the command that applies it -- and the ribbon, the picker, the
VISUALSTYLES verb and the interactive prompt all read from it, down to
the line that lists the choices, so what is offered cannot disagree with
what works. Keywords are the render modes' own names, since there is one
set of styles left to name.
The binary path is gone rather than kept alongside: its message, its
module event, the tool definitions that produced it, the ribbon's
special-cased highlight arms, the bare style verbs and the older keyword
spellings. X-Ray goes with it -- no render mode draws one, and it was
already coming out as a plain wireframe. Three files that had been left
holding a single icon constant each fold into the list.
Note: ModuleEvent::SetWireframe leaves the plugin API with it.

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`.

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.

The TTT solver's circle-pair difference equation loses its cx/cy terms
when the two circles are CONCENTRIC (a ring + a line through it, the
issue's drawing): lx = ly = 0, the equation only pins r, and the 2x2
center solve hit a zero determinant and returned no candidates.
The degenerate branch now recovers the solution directly: r comes from
the pinning equation (for a ring exactly (R_outer - R_inner) / 2), and
the centers from intersecting the remaining equation — a line in cx/cy
once r is known — with the first circle's distance constraint
|C - P| = |r + eps*cr|. Concentric pairs inside three-circle picks ride
the same branch. Candidate selection is unchanged, so the circle
nearest the three pick points wins.

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).

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.
