FixFX.3 Link to FX.3Comment on FX.3 CadCraft: Thai text prints in a PDF plot (was "?")

Reported on CadCraft 0.7.1 in the browser: PLOT to PDF printed every Thai character as a question mark (command line: '219 characters the PDF font has no glyph for'). Cause: plot.js embedded Liberation Sans (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic) and fell back only to the CJK font, which has no Thai. Fixed in the a Discord member build: a Thai font (Noto Sans Thai, OFL 1.1, Thai + Latin + digits, ~220 KB, assets/vendor/thai-sans, current symlink) is fetched only when a plot has Thai text, subset to the glyphs used and embedded with a ToUnicode map. Thai tone marks are placed by pdf-font.js (the font has no layout engine here): centred over upper vowels, over sara am's ring (น้ำ), left of tall consonants (ป่ ฝ่ ฟ้), lower vowels under ญ ฐ. Checked by rendering a PDF (ที่ นี้ ผู้ ก็ ป่า น้ำ ห้องน้ำ พื้น ชั้น) and by 6 new tests in bin/test-cadcraft.mjs (2772 pass). Not covered: characters the Thai font lacks (± and ⌀ print "?" in a Thai plot and are counted in the report); one font per file, so a drawing with Thai and Chinese together keeps whichever leaves fewer "?"; Arabic, Hebrew and Indic scripts still have no font; SVG / PNG plots use the browser's fonts and were not changed. LIVE in the browser edition since 2026-11-03 as CadCraft 0.8.2 (0.8.1 plus only these files; docs/releases/0.8.2.md). Studio and the desktop apps get it with the next Studio build.

FixFX.10 Link to FX.10Comment on FX.10 SRK bubble point lands on a wrong root near the critical region

lib/process: SRK methane/propane 40/60 at 30 bar flashes two-phase at 230 K, yet the bubble point at 30 bar is 269.8 K; the vapour-fraction flash inherits it. Likely wrong root near the critical region. Not fixed yet (docs/0.9-sessions/cape-open-09.md). engineer-09 2026-11-05: Reproduced (SRK methane/propane 40/60, 30 bar): bubbleT 269.77 K while flashPT was already two-phase from about 215 K. Cause found: not the cubic's root choice. The saturation scan starts at 30 K, where the incipient vapour collapses onto the feed (the trivial solution); that collapsed composition was carried as the warm start to every later grid point, so the residual stayed the 'no second phase' flag (-1) up to 269.8 K, where the flag flipped to a real residual and the bisection took the flip as the root. Fixed in lib/process/thermo.js: a trivial warm start is thrown away and the Wilson seed tried; every sign change on the grid is a candidate and the first one that passes the stability condition (Michelsen tangent-plane test: stable just on the liquid side, unstable on the other) is returned (result.stable). Now 214.43 K; flashPVF(30 bar, V of the 230 K flash) gives back 230.000 K (was 269.77). Reference (measured, not typed from memory): May et al., J. Chem. Eng. Data 60 (2015) 3606-3620, doi 10.1021/acs.jced.5b00610, via NIST TRC ThermoML data sets 3-4, 243.62 K isotherm: x(C1) 0.3442 at 3909 kPa -> SRK (kij 0) 3943 kPa (+0.86 %); x 0.071 at 891 kPa -> 908 (+1.96 %). Tests: node tools/process-test/test.mjs 132/0 (10 new FX.10 checks), all 13 other process-engine suites one at a time, real page: node tools/process-test/browser-fx10.mjs 4/0 (/lab/cadcraft, the Flash and saturation calculator) and tools/capeopen-test/browser.mjs 13/0.

FixFX.72 Link to FX.72Comment on FX.72 CadCraft: the object snap menu cannot be reached (status bar Snap, OSNAP command)

Emailed report 2026-11-05 (desktop build): clicking or right-clicking the Snap button in the status bar opened nothing, and OSNAP, DDOSNAP, SHORTCUTMENU and CMDDIA answered Unknown command; only OSMODE (numeric) worked. The snap kinds list existed but only behind a small chevron at the end of the status bar. Changed (a Discord member): a right-click on Snap opens the snap menu (closes on an outside click); OSNAP, DDOSNAP, OSNAPSETTINGS and SHORTCUTMENU open it too (commands.js, cadcraft.js, lang/en.json, English only for now). CMDDIA stays a system variable, not a command. Untested in a browser or the desktop app. Reporter has no account yet: invite mailed 2026-11-05 to create one for a lab pass.

FixFX.76 Link to FX.76Comment on FX.76 Documents opens as a centered dialog, not a box in the corner

Owner 2026-11-06: Documents seemed to do nothing, and on large screens the placement was wrong. It opened as a small box pinned to the top right of the drawing area, far from the button. It is now a modal dialog centered on the window with the page dimmed, in BimCraft, PartCraft and CadCraft through lib/vault. Esc, the X or a press on the dimmed page closes it. Opening a file or a copy closes it so the file can be seen. Tested at 1280 to 3840 wide in the standard, Vector and Duncan layouts on SwiftShader; not on a real large monitor or in a Studio build.

FixFX.109 Link to FX.109Comment on FX.109 Accuracy: exact-equality comparisons reviewed, 7 given a tolerance, the rest tagged (new Changes tab)

Prompted by a community comment that floating-point == / === comparisons in the apps look suspect. All 367 candidates on /accuracy/comparisons were read. 7 now compare within a tolerance (1e-9 relative): electrical add-on (2 places), process dispersion, process vessel, PartCraft lattice, PDF rectangle corners (isAxisRect), window cut-list part merge. The other 277 were left exact on purpose (whole numbers, copied values, zero guards, typed codes, triangulation and ordering tie-breaks) and tagged with the reason in plain words. Every change is on /accuracy/changes with before, after, UTC time and a revert command (node tools/accuracy-equality/fix.mjs revert EQ-n). a Discord member (/lab) only. Not done: live shared shell (engines/risk/weibull.js, calc.js:240) waits for a release go; 6 needs-review items (EQ-0094, 0209, 0215, 0248, 0273, 0279) still to decide; app suites not re-run, edited files only checked to parse; reviewers' reasons come from reading code, not running it.

FixFX.112 Link to FX.112Comment on FX.112 CadCraft: the grid was drawn only inside the drawing limits even with the limits OFF

Drawing limits set (LIMITS) held the grid inside the rectangle whether the limits were on or off. Now the grid is held inside only while the limits are ON; OFF shows the full grid, and the limits outline stays, dashed. view.js drawGrid + limits.js note. Checked in the browser (tools/cadcraft-test/browser-aids.mjs, grid pixels outside the rectangle with limits off). Not checked: a drawing opened from a DWG that carries $LIMCHECK.

FixFX.113 Link to FX.113Comment on FX.113 CadCraft: no Snap to grid (F9)

The status bar had only Object snap (called Snap, F3) and Grid (F7, display only). Added Grid snap (F9): picked points go to the nearest grid point of the UCS (the grid step on screen) when no object snap took the point; button in the status bar and every layout, F9, the keys registry (aids.gsnap), saved with the settings. Checked in the browser (browser-aids.mjs). Not built: a separate snap spacing apart from the grid (SNAPUNIT) and an isometric snap.

FixFX.114 Link to FX.114Comment on FX.114 CadCraft: the object snap list could not be opened in the ribbon, toolbox and other layouts

The Object snaps list (chevron beside Snap) opened upward inside a block that clips its content (ribbon, status bar), so only Classic showed it. The list is now placed on the screen itself, up or down as there is room, and kept inside the window. Checked in the browser in all seven layouts (standard, docked, toolbox, autorev, duncan, vector, sketch): list fully visible and clickable. Not checked: a pop-out window of the aids.

FixFX.115 Link to FX.115Comment on FX.115 CadCraft: long block list ran off the screen; INSERT gave no near names; FILLET radius prompt did not say clicks measure it

From four asks in one message. The block list in the side panel now scrolls inside its panel (max 24 rem / 45% of the window). INSERT: a name that is no block lists the blocks that start with or hold what was typed ("Did you mean"), and a name that is a block while others start the same way ("1" and "10", "12") says so. FILLET: the radius prompt says a value is typed or two clicks measure it (it already did). Already there and answered: UCS (UCS command), STRETCH by crossing window (select with C or drag right to left). Not built: a dropdown of candidates under the command line. Checked by reading + syntax; browser-aids.mjs covers the other fixes only.

FixFX.117 Link to FX.117Comment on FX.117 Accuracy Changes tab: search, filters, and a before/after check on each fix (1,000,000 inputs)

Owner 2026-11-07. /accuracy/changes now has a search box, tag chips and App / What happened / Before and after filters (server-side, 50 a page). Each of the 7 fixes was run before and after on 1,000,000 generated inputs (tools/accuracy-equality/verify.mjs, one recipe per change in checks/): all 7 show 'Corrected' (the old text was wrong on 13 to 45 percent of inputs, the new text on none) and link to /accuracy/changes/EQ-n with counts, samples and the seed; the raw file is /accuracy/changes/EQ-n.json and lives in core/data/equality-results/ so it can be copied to a CDN (.env NUMERICS_RESULTS_CDN makes the links point there). Limits: it runs the changed comparison text with generated inputs, not the whole app; the 'right answer' is within 1e-12 relative, which is my definition; 277 tag-only entries have nothing to compare. Not done: no revert button on the page; app suites not re-run.

FixFX.122 Link to FX.122Comment on FX.122 CadCraft: MTEXT OK button and part-text height, Text style in Annotate, command drop-down list, Multiline tool

Lab pass 37 feedback (Mohammad Imtaar, 2026-11-07) listed what still failed. Fixed in a Discord member: (1) the MTEXT box had no OK or Cancel button (they were made but never added to the box); (2) a new size typed for a selected part of the text was lost because the size box took the focus and the selection with it, so the whole text changed or nothing did; the selection is now kept the moment the box takes focus, and Enter leaves the box once; (3) the Text style tool was missing from the Draw toolbar's buttons, so the ribbon's Annotate tab had nothing to press, and the Ribbon style's Annotate tab had no text group; both added (Text, Paragraph, Text style); (4) typing in the command line now shows a drop-down list of every command that starts with the letters (arrows + Enter, or a click); (5) MLINE did not exist: new multiline (parallel polylines, Scale, Lines 2-8, Justification, Close, Undo) with a Multiline button in Draw. Test: tools/cadcraft-test/browser-fx94.mjs (9).

FixFX.142 Link to FX.142Comment on FX.142 CadCraft: Plans.dwg (200,000 3D faces) and any DXF over about 70,000 entities failed to open with "Maximum call stack size exceeded"

Built in the lab. Two readers appended whole lists with push(...list), which puts every item on the call stack. (1) model3d.js:187 and :213 (split3d): the 3D faces a drawing's block references place, up to MAX_PLACED = 200,000, so Plans.dwg (288 objects, 50 blocks) failed in /use 0.8.2 with "Could not open Plans.dwg" after the worker had read it; wave 2 counted that open as accepted because the heap grew. (2) dxf.js:102, :162-165, :479: any DXF from about 70,000 entities (a 15 MB file) threw the same RangeError with no message. (3) The same spread in io.js:1291 (ModelCraft, and CadCraft's m3d copy) for a flattened component. All use a loop now. Measured: Plans.dwg opens in the lab build in 7.8 s (4.8 s blocking, one 4.6 s task placing the 200k faces into the 3D tab, heap 518 MB: that cost is PERF.9's); a 19 MB DXF (137,851 entities) that crashed reads in 1.4 s; 1,000,000 entities (122 MB) read in 10 s and 2.1 GB in Node, so the next wall is memory and the one-string reader (wave 3 scale rows). bin/test-cadcraft.mjs 2,847/0. Other spread-into-push sites that take whole lists remain in bimcraft res-skeleton.js:349, res-views.js:282, dwg/nongraphic-write.js:332 (every copy) and lib/cabinetcraft cornerdrill.js:113: small lists today, worth the same loop when touched. Found by the wave 3 scale and 2D tracks (docs/0.9-sessions/perf-wave3/scale-1000x.md, apps-2d.md).

FeatureD9.9 Link to D9.9Comment on D9.9 Zoom in and out of the drawing to see details (request in German)

Asked on /suggest (#1236, Nov 6 2026, in German, “Zeichnung vergrößern, verkleinern”): “Details should be zoomable; often the drawing in the edit window is too small and it is hard to see details.” The submitter did not say which app. Checked 2026-11-07: CadCraft has a ZOOM command and view zoom already; the report reads as someone not finding it, or a drawing that opens small (page or sheet view, a small window, a large paper size), or a touch screen where pinch/scroll do not work. Do: find which app and device (reply in German if there is an email), then check: zoom buttons visible on the canvas for mouse-less use, zoom to a window, zoom to the drawing on open, and the German labels (Vergrößern, Verkleinern, Alles zoomen). Not built yet. Built 2026-11-07 (lab, CadCraft): toolbar View group has Zoom in (2×) and Zoom out (½) beside Extents, Window and Previous, centred on the view (ZOOM 2x / ZOOM 0.5x, which already worked typed); tooltips say the wheel zooms at the pointer. bin/test-cadcraft.mjs 2815/0. Untested: German labels are a draft (en, es-MX, id only), the touch pinch, and on which app the requester looked (CadCraft done; BimCraft not changed).

FeatureATTR.7 Link to ATTR.7Comment on ATTR.7 Library credits table on a sheet in CadCraft and BimCraft

Owner 2026-11-03. BimCraft: every drawing set with Library items gets a Library credits schedule, including doors and windows, made again from the model each time and placeable on any sheet. CadCraft: the CREDITS command (ribbon, and a button in the Library credits view) draws the credits as one block of lines and text, at a point and text height you choose; it saves to DXF; running it again updates the table in place and adds no second copy. Both use lib/report/credits.js, required credits first, CC0 after. Limits: CadCraft's table updates only when CREDITS is run; BimCraft sheets print with Helvetica, so non-Latin credits show as ?. Tests: bin/test-cadcraft.mjs, bin/test-bimcraft.mjs --lib-openings and --res, tools/super-test/binder.mjs (real CadCraft panel). The BimCraft schedule was not clicked through in the app's Sheets dialog. In /lab, not released.

Asked in support message #1329 (metric in the quick properties, kilograms, Celsius). Owner 2026-11-08: build weight and temperatures, both F and C, into 0.9. Shared table lib/units gets two kinds: mass (mg, g, kg, tonne, oz, lb, ton, long ton; exact factors from the 1959 pound) and temperature (K, °C, °F, °R; offset scales, converted without a detour through kelvin for C and F, negative values read correctly); Settings › Global › Units lists them (en, es-MX, id words). TakeoffCraft: lb, ton, kg and t as typed-quantity units (priced like CY), an optional Temperature on every item typed and shown in °C or °F (Settings › TakeoffCraft: Follow Global / °C / °F), kept in kelvin. bin/test-units.mjs 261/0, bin/test-takeoffcraft.mjs 1210/0. Seen in the real /lab page: browser-weights-temps.mjs 12/12 (unit lists, temperature typed in C and F, display setting, undo). Temperatures are absolute (a difference is not converted).
