FeatureDC.116 Link to DC.116 Auto-detect walls and rooms from a set of plans (PDF or scans)

Bring in a set of plans (PDF or scanned drawings) and have walls, doors and windows detected to build the model. DF.23 does this from the lines of a DWG/DXF; this asks for PDFs and pictures, related to LC.6 scanned drawings. Owner 2026-10-23: yes to the auto trace. Planned in session trace (W3.15): BimCraft Build › From a drawing… takes vector PDFs and scans (traced by LC.6's engine) into DF.23's walls and openings; MarkupCraft is not touched in 0.7.

FeatureMCP-PATHS Link to MCP-PATHS CadCraft: file paths for assistants instead of file dialogs

OPEN, INSERT F, APPLOAD and COUNT export open a system file dialog, so an MCP call hangs until someone closes it and an assistant can't open a drawing on its own. Give these commands, plus SAVE, SAVEAS and PLOT, path arguments for the MCP server, confined to its roots. Moved from the 0.6.1 list (feature).

FeatureMCP-ANSWERS Link to MCP-ANSWERS CadCraft: several answers in one MCP command_run

command_run presses Esc when the call returns, so a command that needs several answers can be cancelled by accident. Allow a list of answers in one call, or an option to keep the command open. Moved from the 0.6.1 list (feature).

FeatureCAD-REGEN Link to CAD-REGEN CadCraft: REGEN and REGENALL commands

No REGEN command to refresh the view. Add REGEN / REGENALL (redraw the caches of this pane / every pane). Moved from the 0.6.1 list (feature).

FeatureELEC-BUILDING Link to ELEC-BUILDING Electrical add-on: building installation symbols and RCDs

The Electrical add-on targets machine-control schematics (IEC 81346). Add symbols for building installations and residual-current devices (RCDs). Moved from the 0.6.1 list (feature). Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 18, 21): EPLAN / AutoCAD Electrical-style schematics. The Electrical add-on (IEC/NFPA symbols, cross-references, PLC I/O, terminal plans) already covers schematics; ArtCraft staff pointed one asker to ours. Suggestions 2026-10-22: Asked again on /suggest (#753, Oct 16): an electrical CAD without the yearly price. The Electrical add-on covers schematics today. Suggestions 2026-10-26: Asked again on /suggest (#917 an electrical design app like Eplan, Oct 22).

FeatureMCP-COUNT Link to MCP-COUNT CadCraft: a count-only objects_list

objects_list has no cheap count: a Discord member read the total with an offset past the end and limit=1. Add count_only (or limit=0 → count only) so drawing content stays out of the assistant's context.

FeatureMCP-WINDOW-IDS Link to MCP-WINDOW-IDS Studio: window ids that survive a restart

The window id from windows_list is the window's label for this run, so it changes after every restart and an assistant's saved id stops working. Give windows a stable id (for example from the file), or let assistants pick a window by file.

FeatureMCP-HEADLESS Link to MCP-HEADLESS CadCraft: headless, path-based automation for assistants

a Discord member's wish list from another CAD tool: open, execute (insert with file, position and attributes; save as; plot; count; text) and convert IN OUT to dxf, dwg, svg, png or pdf, all headless, plus a batch CLI and a one-call drawing overview. Much of it exists in the headless MCP server and CLI (tools/mcp/server.mjs --root; drawing_open, drawing_save with a DWG version, drawing_convert, drawing_plot, drawing_describe; cadcraft convert), which is not published yet (@getcadcraft/mcp is the owner's). Missing: SVG and PNG output, insert with attributes as one call, and the same in the live in-app server (MCP-PATHS).

FeatureD7.02 Link to D7.02 CadCraft: dock the toolbar on any side ArtCraft’s

Asked: toolbars with icon + label, dockable on any side; a friendlier, Windows-style default layout (3 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 17–20). Checked 2026-10-21: icons + labels / icons / labels already exist (Settings › toolbar buttons), the toolbar can be rearranged and locked, and panels dock left, right, bottom, float or pop out. Missing: the toolbar itself docks only at the top on desktop (the phone layout moves it top/bottom). Do: left / right / bottom docking for the toolbar in every menu style, saved with the layout and reset by Reset the layout. Goes with GH.1 (toolbar rows).

FeatureD7.05 Link to D7.05 Move dialogs freely; pop a dialog out to its own window in Studio ArtCraft’s

Asked: drag dialog boxes to a second monitor; they are trapped in the app window (#cadcraft Oct 21). Checked 2026-10-21: the same holds for ours. Dialogs are in-page <dialog> elements (showModal) with no drag; only side panels can go to their own window (app-panels.js). Do: every dialog draggable by its title bar (position remembered per dialog); in Studio, long-lived dialogs (Plot, Layers, Properties-style managers) can open as their own window like panels do.

FeatureD7.06 Link to D7.06 Beginner start: guided first drawing, one-page cheat sheet, AutoCAD command map

Asked: “almost as unusable as AutoCAD because I don't know how to start”; how-to videos; the names of everyday commands (erase, trim) (3 mentions, #craft-apps Oct 17; #cadcraft Oct 17, 20). LC.21 is beginner 3D only. Checked 2026-10-21: help has getting-started, learn-from-a-sample, coming-from (AutoCAD habits), commands, command-aliases and keyboard topics, but no in-app guided start and no printable cheat sheet. Do: (a) a first-run guided drawing (5–6 steps, skippable, Help › Start the tour); (b) a one-page cheat sheet (PDF + help page) of the 40 everyday commands with aliases; (c) an AutoCAD → CadCraft command table on the site from the alias list; (d) fix coming-from.md, which still says XREF is not built (it is: layertools.js). Short videos through the video kit (owner picks).

FeatureD7.10 Link to D7.10 CadCraft: real splines (SPLINE, SPLINEDIT) and PEDIT ArtCraft’s

Asked: PEDIT to convert a spline to a polyline (#cadcraft Oct 20). Checked 2026-10-21: we have no SPLINE entity or command and no PEDIT (both listed in not-built-yet.md). Splines in opened files come in as polylines; unedited ones are written back as they came (dwg-keep.js), edited ones become polylines. Do: a spline entity (fit and control points, degree), SPLINE and SPLINEDIT, and PEDIT (join, width, fit/spline/decurve, and Spline → polyline with a precision), read and written in DWG/DXF.

FeatureD7.13 Link to D7.13 CadCraft: WBLOCK (write a block or selection to its own drawing) ArtCraft’s

Asked: WBLOCK command not working (#cadcraft Oct 19). Checked 2026-10-21: ours has no WBLOCK at all (only a help keyword). Do: WBLOCK / W — a block, a selection or the whole drawing to a new DWG/DXF (version picker, base point, keep/convert/delete the source), with only the layers, styles and blocks it uses.

CadCraft Built 0.5 – Discord CSV pasted by the owner 2026-10-21
FeatureD7.14 Link to D7.14 CadCraft: DIMSTYLE manager and DIMEDIT ArtCraft’s

Asked: DIMEDIT and DIMSTYLE not working (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 19; ArtCraft confirmed theirs broken). Checked 2026-10-21: ours has neither command. Properties edits a dimension's settings and can apply a style that came in a file, and the DIM variables work on the command line, but you can't create, edit or set current a named dimension style. Do: DIMSTYLE (new / modify / set current / compare, saved in DWG/DXF), DIMEDIT (home, new text, rotate, oblique) and DIMTEDIT.

FixD7.16 Link to D7.16 CadCraft: non-Latin text in DXF, \M+ escapes and CJK in PDF plots ArtCraft’s

Asked: Korean, Vietnamese and Russian text and tab titles garbled (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 19). Checked 2026-10-21: DWG is fine (code pages 1251, 1258, 949, 932, 936, 950 and \U+ escapes decode). Three gaps in ours: (a) DXF ignores $DWGCODEPAGE — it is decoded as UTF-8, falling back to windows-1252 (cadcraft.js file open), so a Russian or Korean R2000 DXF shows garbage; (b) \M+ multibyte escapes (older Asian text) are not decoded anywhere; (c) PDF plots embed Liberation Sans, so CJK prints as “?” (pdf-font.js). Screen and tab titles are fine. Fixtures in fixtures/dwg/ per code page.

FixD7.17 Link to D7.17 CadCraft: keep MTEXT formatting when it is opened and edited ArtCraft’s

Asked: can't edit text after opening a DWG (#cadcraft Oct 21). Checked 2026-10-21: ours edits it (double-click → TEXTEDIT, EATTEDIT for attributes). The catch found while checking: mtextPlain strips inline MTEXT formatting (fonts, colours, stacked fractions, paragraphs) on import, so editing an MTEXT loses it. Do: keep the formatting codes and render the common ones; edit plain text inside them; write them back.

FixD7.18 Link to D7.18 CadCraft: layouts that open empty or lose a viewport ArtCraft’s

Asked: layouts show random artifacts; some files show empty layouts (#cadcraft Oct 17). Checked 2026-10-21: two risky assumptions in ours (dwg-import.js layouts): a layout with no block link is dropped entirely, and the first VIEWPORT found is taken to be the sheet's own and removed — if a real viewport comes first, it disappears. Paper size falls back LIMITS → first viewport → A4/Letter. Do: find the overall viewport by its id (the one with status/ID 1), keep link-less layouts with a warning in the import report, fixtures for both, and ask Discord for a file that opens empty (DISCORD-ASK).

FeatureD7.19 Link to D7.19 CadCraft: your own plot and viewport scales (SCALELISTEDIT) ArtCraft’s

Asked: a custom scale is created but not saved or shown in the layout (#cadcraft Oct 17, 18). Related DC.14. Checked 2026-10-21: ours has a fixed metric + architectural list (sheets.js); a file's odd scale displays but can't be added; annotation scale is a fixed 1:1. Do: SCALELISTEDIT, the drawing's scale list read and written in DWG/DXF (ACAD_SCALELIST), custom scales in the viewport and plot pickers.

FeatureD7.20 Link to D7.20 Print straight to a printer from Studio; PNG and SVG plots ArtCraft’s

Asked: detect installed printers; only print-to-file offered (#cadcraft Oct 19). Related DC.14. Checked 2026-10-21: ours plots only a vector PDF (download or open in the browser's viewer, which can print). A browser can't list printers; Studio can. Do: in Studio, Plot › Printer lists the system's printers and sends the PDF with paper size and copies; in the browser, a Print button that opens the system print dialog on the plotted PDF. Also PNG and SVG plot output.

CadCraftStudio Built 1.5 – Discord CSV pasted by the owner 2026-10-21
FeatureD7.24 Link to D7.24 PDF underlay (PDFATTACH) and PDF import into CadCraft ArtCraft’s

Asked: attach a PDF like AutoCAD, and insert a PDF into a model (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 17, 21). Checked 2026-10-21: ours has no PDFATTACH/PDFIMPORT; the open dialog takes .dwg/.dxf only. MarkupCraft already renders PDFs (pdf.js) and reads vector content. Do: PDFATTACH (page, scale, clip, fade, snap to its vectors), saved as a PDF underlay in DWG/DXF; PDFIMPORT turns a page's vectors and text into lines, arcs and text. Owner 2026-10-21: planned for 0.7 (session cad-bugs). Uses the vendored pdf.js (Apache-2.0) as MarkupCraft does; underlay saved as PDFDEFINITION / PDFREFERENCE in DWG (cc-dwg, from the ODA spec) and DXF. Suggestions 2026-10-26: Asked again on /suggest (#913, Oct 22): import a PDF or image, scale it and trace over it. PDF import and underlay are built here.

FeatureD7.25 Link to D7.25 Show 3D solids (ACIS) from other programs in CadCraft and ModelCraft ArtCraft’s

Asked: open 3D drawings/solids; “where is 3D” (5 mentions, #craft-apps Oct 17, 18, 20; #cadcraft Oct 17, 20). Related DC.1, M3D-DRIFT. Checked 2026-10-21: the handoff is there (the Open in ModelCraft button, OPENIN3D), and CadCraft's 3D tab draws its own solids. But 3DSOLID/REGION/BODY from AutoCAD are kept byte for byte and never drawn — the SAT/SAB inside is not read (acis.js), in CadCraft, ModelCraft and BimCraft. Do: a clean-room SAT/SAB reader for planar and simple curved faces, tessellated for display (edit stays read-only); counted honestly in the import report.

CadCraftBimCraftModelCraft Built 6 – Discord CSV pasted by the owner 2026-10-21
FeatureD7.28 Link to D7.28 CadCraft: load acad.lsp / acaddoc.lsp automatically ArtCraft’s

Asked: load existing AutoLISP (APPLOAD, acaddoc.lsp auto-load) and more functions such as BOOLE (5 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 17, 18, 20). Checked 2026-10-21: ours has a full LISP interpreter (DCL, VLA), APPLOAD with a Startup Suite, and BOOLE. Missing: acad.lsp / acaddoc.lsp — in Studio, read from a support folder the person picks (and S::STARTUP); in the browser, the Startup Suite stays the way. .fas/.vlx/ARX stay refused.

CadCraft Built 0.5 – Discord CSV pasted by the owner 2026-10-21
FeatureD7.31 Link to D7.31 Drawing history: versions on every save, browse and compare ArtCraft’s

Asked: snapshot on every save and a visual diff against an older revision; a reviewer suggested a browse panel like Fusion 360 (3 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 19, 21). Related DC.27. Checked 2026-10-21: autosave in ours is crash recovery only; cloud drawings already keep versions on the server (drawing_versions, /api/v1/sync/versions) with no UI; Compare covers styles, layers and settings, not geometry; drawing compare exists only in MarkupCraft (PDF sets). Do: a History panel (cloud versions + local snapshots kept on save in Studio), open or restore a version, and DWGCOMPARE-style geometry compare (added / removed / changed, coloured).

CadCraftStudio Built 3 – Discord CSV pasted by the owner 2026-10-21
FeatureD7.62 Link to D7.62 More interface languages from volunteers (Vietnamese, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Armenian)

Asked: an Armenian translation; a Vietnamese tester offered; Russian, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian users in the channels (6 mentions, #technical-development Oct 18; #cadcraft Oct 17–21). Related WL.7, ES-MX, LG.4. Checked 2026-10-21: we ship English, Spanish (Mexico, draft) and Indonesian (draft) everywhere, Arabic in CadCraft and PartCraft. Do: a contributor translation kit (string export, a checker for missing keys, the draft label) and invite the Vietnamese volunteer first; each language ships as a draft until a native review (owner picks which). Suggestions 2026-10-22: Asked again on /suggest (#881, Oct 20): a full Portuguese (Portugal and Brazil) interface for every app and tool. A pt-BR draft exists in dev (2026-10-22); pt-PT does not. Owner 2026-10-22: Portuguese is planned as SU.881 (pt-BR kept complete + pt-PT). Owner 2026-10-25: built in 0.7. Studio's hub has 23 interface language files (incl. Vietnamese, Russian, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal) and Italian); Armenian is not among them.

Workspace layouts (Track WS) 24
FeatureWS.19 Link to WS.19 Toolbox layout: a navigator on the right (project browser, Properties under it)

The toolbox and info box layout puts the app's project browser on the right as its navigator (plans, sections, elevations, 3D views, schedules, sheets), with Properties and the right panel's own tabs under it. A view opens from it as in the classic layout. Asked on Discord (2026-10-24) by two members. Plan docs/0.7-PART9.md; log docs/0.7-sessions/workspace-layouts.md § Discord ask.
