Production drawings show AutoCAD stacking two equal limits for a DIMLIM
style with zero offsets; the plain-value shortcut matched one drawing from
another authoring tool and broke twenty-five that AutoCAD wrote.
AutoCAD prints 0.4255 as 0.426; Rust's formatter rounds the binary value,
which sits a hair below the decimal tie, and printed 0.425. Decimal
dimension text, tolerances and limits now settle the tie the way the
drawings do.
Alternate units multiplied the raw measurement instead of the displayed
DIMLFAC-scaled value, so a paper-space dimension's bracketed value was off
by the viewport factor, and alternate limits were written high/low with a
slash where AutoCAD stacks them like the primary limits.
A limits style whose upper and lower offsets are both zero prints the plain
value in AutoCAD, not a stack of two equal numbers. A three-point angular
dimension whose extension point sits on its vertex has no measurable angle;
AutoCAD keeps showing the angle it stored, and the text now does too instead
of reading 0 degrees. Both cases came out of comparing saved picture blocks
with regenerated text across a set of production drawings.
Dimensions with DIMLIM on were regenerated as the nominal value plus a
separate stacked pair, and the pair was built from the unscaled
measurement. AutoCAD prints only the upper limit over the lower one, with
the offsets applied to the DIMLFAC-scaled, DIMRND-rounded value, and keeps
both halves at the same number of decimals under DIMTZIN. Drawings with a
limits-only style looked right on load, from their saved picture blocks,
and gained an extra number as soon as an associative refresh dropped the
picture.
Fit and fill estimates now count visible cells, so a stack is as wide as
its wider half at DIMTFAC, and the text-to-line offset uses the stacked
height.
Before and after captures of DIMLINEAR at the second-point and placement
stages and DIMANGULAR at arc placement, taken from the upstream base and
this branch with the same automation steps.
Show the styled dimension and its value while placing a dimension, using
the same builder the command commits with. Each creation command
(DIMLINEAR, DIMALIGNED, DIMANGULAR, DIMRADIUS, DIMDIAMETER, DIMARC,
DIMJOGGED, DIMORDINATE, DIMCONTINUE, DIMBASELINE, QDIM) reports the
dimensions it would commit at the current stage through
`CadCommand::dimension_preview`. The application applies the current
creation style, or the base dimension's style for DIMCONTINUEMODE=1,
and the same viewport measurement scale as commit, then tessellates the
transient entity through the normal dimension renderer.
While the second definition point is being acquired, a hovered model
snap supplies a provisional viewport scale; once both points are fixed,
hovering another viewport does not change the value. Angular dimensions
never receive length compensation. Degenerate geometry, an invalid
scale, or conflicting viewports fall back to the plain rubber-band
preview so no misleading value is shown.
Grid snap locks to SNAPUNIT instead of magnetizing; snapped 3D points keep elevation instead of flattening to z=0. New SnapTypes Vertex/EdgeMidpoint/FaceCenter/Knot/FacePerpendicular/NearestFace with their own F4 master toggle and mode set, tiers, and markers, fully independent of the 2D master. Solid B-rep corners/edge-midpoints/face-centers from mesh edges and kernel faces, spline knot points, and live perpendicular/nearest-to-face on mesh triangles merged priority-aware in move/click paths. Drafting Settings 3D Object Snap tab is fully live (was dead placeholders); Nearest-to-face off by default. TDD: behavioral LINE-to-solid tests plus engine/scene unit tests.
Properties… next to the printer used to open the CUPS web interface in a
browser. It now edits the driver options of the *selected* printer the
way LibreOffice's Properties… does, without leaving the plot dialog:
- CUPS platforms (Linux, any desktop; macOS): an in-line editor lists the
printer's PPD options as `lpoptions -l` reports them — media type,
colour mode, quality, duplex, trays, scaling — with readable choice
labels, Reset / Cancel / Apply. Apply keeps only the choices that differ
from the driver defaults, per printer, in the plot config, and every job
for that printer passes them as `lp -o key=value`. Where CUPS cannot
answer, the desktop's printer settings panel opens instead of a browser.
- Windows: the driver's document-properties sheet (`DocumentPropertiesW`
with prompt, owned by the main window) and, on OK, the result stored as
the user's printing preferences for that printer (`SetPrinter` level 9),
which the job honours. `printui /e` (printing preferences) replaces the
device-properties sheet as the fallback.
The desktop print portal was tried first and dropped: GTK 4's print
dialog loses the preselected printer when the default queue is listed
before it, so the dialog always opened on the wrong printer.
Dialog layout: the modal grows to 940×620; Printer / plotter and Paper
size share a line with their pickers (long queue and media names now fit);
Copies + Properties… and Custom… sit beneath; the custom-sheet editor
labels each margin (Left / Right, Top / Bottom) and shows the unit.
Also recognises `none_device`, AutoCAD's stored spelling for "no plotter",
and writes it back unchanged.
Tests: `lpoptions` parsing and keyword humanising, the editor flow (load,
stale answer ignored, set, apply, remember, reset, error, cancel), device
name round-trips including `none_device`.

AutoCAD lets a plotter configuration carry user-defined sheets; a drawing
then names them like any other media (`Roll_24_(609.60_x_1500.00_MM)`).
The plot dialog now defines such sheets inline, under the Size row:
name, width/height, unit, and the printable margins in that unit. Added
sheets are selected at once, offered for every device after the device's
own list, remembered in the plot config across sessions, and written to
the layout with their own margins (a printer that reports the same size
still wins with its hardware margins). A selected user-defined sheet can
be removed; the sheet itself stays selectable in the drawing that uses it.
`CustomPaper` / `Margins` live in the paper catalogue with serde support;
`PlotDevice::margins_mm` consults the user's definitions. The Plot
dialog's form helpers (button and field styles, dividers, `label :
control` rows) move to `ui::style::form` so the next dialogs share them
instead of copying.
Tests: draft validation and seeding, catalogue naming of user sheets,
device margins with user definitions, and dialog round-trips (add,
select, persist, write, replace, remove, refuse an invalid size).

Replace the provisional PDF margins with the values AutoCAD's Plotter
Configuration Editor lists for `DWG To PDF.pc3`. They depend on the sheet
family and variant, not the size: ISO sheets 5/17/6/18 mm (left, bottom,
right, top), ISO expand 5/10/6/11 mm, ISO full bleed 0/1/0/1 mm; ANSI and
ARCH sheets 0.23/0.70 in, expand 0.23/0.42 in, full bleed 0.03 in all
round. Inch sets are stored in millimetres like the sheet itself.

A page setup names its plotter, and AutoCAD looks that name up in its own
configurations: `DWG To PDF.pc3` for PDF output, the spooler name for a
system printer, `None` when nothing is assigned. Drawings saved here used
to carry the dialog's label ("Save to PDF file…"), so AutoCAD reported a
missing device on every layout plotted to PDF from Open CAD Studio.
- New `io::plot_device`: `PlotDevice { None, Pdf, Printer }` with AutoCAD's
spellings, a reader for stored names that keeps any plotter
configuration AutoCAD wrote (an HP `.pc3`, `DWF6 ePlot.pc3` — plotted to
PDF here but preserved for AutoCAD) and upgrades the legacy label.
- Printable areas: the PDF driver's margins per sheet variant (full bleed
edge to edge; standard / expand insets provisional until read off
AutoCAD's plotter configuration), and for CUPS printers the media and
margins the queue reports over IPP (`ipptool` `media-col-database`),
parsed once per printer and cached. Windows enumeration follows with
native GDI printing.
- Page setups now store the device in AutoCAD's spelling and the margins
of the chosen device/sheet, keeping the drawing's own values while
neither changed (AutoCAD's `PAPERUPDATE` behaviour). The paper-space
printable-area rectangle follows.
- Plot dialog: the default entry names the printer it resolves to; a
printer that answered lists its own sheets with a note; the media query
runs in the background and answers for a since-deselected printer are
dropped.
Tests: device names, stored-name resolution, PDF margin table, IPP media
parsing (sizes, margins, borderless folding, default sheet), PWG names,
plus dialog ↔ layout round-trips for PDF, legacy label, preserved plotter
configuration, sheet change → margins, and printer selection.

AutoCAD stores a layout's sheet as the plotter driver's canonical media
name (`ISO_A4_(210.00_x_297.00_MM)`, `ANSI_full_bleed_B_(11.00_x_17.00_Inches)`),
so a drawing saved here has to carry the same spelling for AutoCAD to find
the sheet in its DWG To PDF list, and a name that arrives from AutoCAD must
resolve to its dimensions and go back out untouched.
- New `io::paper_catalog` replaces the eight-entry `paper_sizes`: ISO A/B,
ANSI, ARCH (incl. E1) and JIS series with full-bleed / expand variants,
Letter / Legal / Tabloid, millimetre and inch units, a parser that
reconstructs any well-formed AutoCAD name (custom or driver-specific)
from its embedded dimensions, driver / legacy-config aliases (`A4`,
`Letter`, `Ledger`), and dimension matching that prefers the plain sheet.
- The Plot dialog stores the canonical name and shows the sheet as
`ISO A4 (210 × 297 mm)`; a sheet that only exists in the drawing is
listed first so it stays selectable.
- A sheet the user did not change keeps the drawing's own media name
(`paper_name_for_settings`), so a Windows printer's `A4` is not rewritten
to `ISO_A4_(…)` just by passing through the dialog.
- Drops the unused `PlotFormat` / `PlotOrientation` messages,
`paper_label_from_dims`, and three duplicated `match "A4" | …` tables.
Tests: catalogue spelling, parser round-trip, aliases, dimension matching,
display formatting, plus dialog ↔ layout round-trips for driver-named,
catalogue and unknown sheets.

Step-level if: conditions cannot read the secrets context, which made
GitHub reject the workflow file outright (startup failure, zero jobs).
The signing waterfall now keys off job-level env booleans mirrored from
the credential secrets - a pattern actionlint accepts.
Drafting Settings dialog gets text inputs for Snap X/Y spacing plus a working Equal X and Y checkbox (mirrored inputs, Y follows X on apply). Snapper gains fixed snap_spacing_x/y (persisted in UserSettings, default 10) decoupled from the adaptive visible-grid step. Grid snap no longer aperture-gated: with Snap On it rounds every point to the grid, object snaps still override by tier. Adds parse/lock regression tests.
Forks do not inherit repository secrets, and the previous hardwired
Azure Trusted Signing steps failed the Windows job outright on a fork.
Each signing step is now gated on its credentials being present and the
pipeline falls through: Azure Trusted Signing (upstream setup, unchanged
when the secrets exist) -> PFX certificate from WINDOWS_PFX_BASE64 /
WINDOWS_PFX_PASSWORD via signtool with RFC-3161 timestamping -> unsigned
with a note in the job summary. The build and installer assembly always
complete.
- IMAGEEMBED: pack raster images into OLE2FRAME entities so a .dwg is
self-contained; 'Embed Image' entry in the XREF attach menu; control/MCP
op embed_image for external tools; dxf_name for OLE2FRAME queries.
- Scene: populate_images_from_document now rebuilds OLE2FRAME and PDF
underlay models too (they used to vanish after any XREF op).
- Printing: add PRINTER_ENUM_NETWORK pass when listing printers; GDI
spooler fallback (hayro raster at 300 DPI + StretchDIBits) for hosts
whose PDF handler registers no print verb; DEVMODE orientation with a
90-degree raster rotation fallback for v4 drivers; fix the fit-scale
precedence bug that printed blank pages.
- PDF export dialogs on Windows use the async file dialog so the native
overwrite confirmation no longer deadlocks the UI thread.
- Plot dialog: persist the chosen printer (saved on selection) and the
picked plot window across sessions; page setups with no device no
longer reset the output device.
- Community fonts: detect unresolvable .shx references on open and offer
a download from the repository's fonts/ folder (contribution guide in
fonts/README.md); custom font source URL setting for intranet font
servers; downloaded fonts resolve from the per-user fonts directory.
Port press-to-capture dialog safeguards to the alias editor: transient top draft row with explicit accept, duplicate-alias and unknown-command danger styling plus persistent banners, reset-to-defaults with inline confirmation, Apply and Apply-and-Exit, alias count, Esc-cancels-draft-first, and unsaved-changes guard on close.
Refresh associations after complete SpaceMouse camera updates and recognize imported paper-space owners without Layout objects. Use kernel containment, intersection, perpendicular and spline tangent solving; pin cadkernel 7ce27f2 and add regressions.
Found while building an out-of-tree scripting plugin from scratch against
this doc and the actual ocs_plugin_api/host source. Two categories:
Fixed outright (docs/examples didn't match the real code):
- The worked CadModule example returned Vec<RibbonGroup> from
ribbon_groups(); the real trait requires &[RibbonGroup] - the example
wouldn't compile. Fixed with the OnceLock pattern the host's own
benchmark code already uses.
- Reconciled a contradiction between "process isolation removes the need
for a shared Rust ABI" and the exact-rustc_version requirement described
a few paragraphs earlier in the same doc.
- The roadmap's "Next" list still had external automation as unstarted;
--mcp/--serve are real and operational (src/cli.rs, src/mcp.rs).
- Added the missing plugin.toml to docs/plugin-template-v2 (its own
DESIGN.md already claimed one could be installed).
- Documented that plugin-template's CI floats rust-toolchain@stable, which
doesn't guarantee matching the host's exact rustc - added acadrust_source
to both templates' plugin.toml plus the release.yml step that fills it
from Cargo.lock's resolved acadrust source, alongside the existing
rustc_version fill.
Flagging for your call, not fixed here (found the behavior, not sure it's
the intended one, prefer to ask than guess at a fix):
- acadrust_compatible()'s ABI gate only runs at all if plugin.toml declares
acadrust_source - an undeclared field is silently treated as compatible,
unlike rustc_version (undeclared = incompatible). The same shortcut
appears in two places: ExternalPlugin::acadrust_compatible
(src/plugin/external.rs) and the inline check inside fetch_release_info
(src/plugin/marketplace.rs). If this is deliberate (e.g. back-compat with
manifests from before the field existed), no action needed beyond a
comment; if not, both call sites need the same fix.
- The command line still uppercases typed/pasted input even with the `>`
literal-spaces prefix (Message::CommandInput, src/app/update/mod.rs) -
`>` only stops a space from auto-submitting the line, it doesn't skip
`s.to_uppercase()`. A plugin command needing a case-sensitive typed
argument has no escape today short of automation.
- fetch_release_info (src/plugin/marketplace.rs) returns every release
under a linked repo with no filter on the manifest's own id field (which
it already parses to build ReleaseInfo) - a repo hosting more than one
plugin under tag-namespaced releases surfaces all of them mixed
together in one plugin's version list.

Remove the dead catalog entry for the deleted XREF dead-end text and add the 389 source strings missing from the catalog (data extraction, drafting settings, panels, commands). Every locale gets the English text as placeholder under common/insert following existing practice. scripts/test_locales.py passes (5077 lookups).
Each menu row is now a single mouse_area that publishes on PRESS instead of a button nested in a mouse_area. iced_aw ContextMenu keeps its overlay element in the widget struct, so every view rebuild wipes the overlay subtree state - including a button's is_pressed between press and release - and release-time clicks published nothing. Headless simulator tests through the real overlay guard row clicks, flyout clicks, the Change Path Type hover trigger, and pin the subtree-reset mechanism. Requires iced_test as a dev-dependency; the Cargo.lock gpu-allocator/windows edge is pinned back to 0.62.2 (see docs/review-context-menu-click-delivery.md).
Row menu Select New Path and Find and Replace now act on the right-clicked row via dedicated XrefRowPathPick / XrefRowFindReplacePrompt messages (prefill + command-line focus, XOPEN output included). Rows use a RightClickArea wrapper so right-click selects the row even though ContextMenu captures the press, and opening or acting on the menu resets the Change Path Type flyout state.
The Change Path Type row shows a right-triangle affordance and reveals the Make Absolute / Make Relative / Remove Path submenu beside it. The flyout opens on hover only and a shared submenu-row style removes dead code from the earlier iterations.
Row right-click menu is exactly Open, Attach..., Unload, Reload, Detach, Change Path Type group with Make Absolute, Make Relative, Remove Path, Select New Path, Find and Replace. Change Path Type renders as indented group. Open uses OCS for DWG and OS default for images and PDFs. Preview decodes on selection change, not only at refresh. Details shows placed display width and height for image instances.
