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.

Installation
Linux (AppImage)
Download OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage from the latest release, then:
chmod +x OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
./OpenCADStudio-*-linux-x86_64.AppImage
No installation required — runs directly on any modern Linux distribution.
Windows
Download OpenCADStudio-*-windows-x86_64.exe from the latest release and run it directly. Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC" because the binary is not yet code-signed — click More info → Run anyway.
macOS (Apple Silicon)
Apple Silicon (M-series) only; Intel macOS isn't built. The app is ad-hoc signed but not Apple-notarised (notarisation requires a paid Apple Developer ID), so macOS Gatekeeper guards the first launch. Pick whichever path is easiest:
Option A — Homebrew (recommended):
brew install --cask --no-quarantine \
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HakanSeven12/OpenCADStudio/main/packaging/homebrew/open-cad-studio.rb
--no-quarantine lets Gatekeeper skip the unsigned-app prompt. See packaging/homebrew/ for publishing this as a brew tap.
Option B — manual .dmg:
Download OpenCADStudio-*-macos-arm64.dmg from the latest release, open it, and drag OpenCADStudio.app to /Applications. If the first launch is blocked, clear the quarantine flag once:
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/OpenCADStudio.app
On older macOS you can instead right-click OpenCADStudio.app → Open and confirm; on macOS Ventura and later, approve it via System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway.
