FeatureSU.1058 Link to SU.1058Comment on SU.1058 Project document manager: check-out, revisions, release states

Asked: a document manager like a paid PDM, without that price (#1058; again #1129: "shouldn't have to pay to manage my own files"). Built (vault-09 2026-11-06, in /lab; docs/0.9-sessions/vault-09.md): the Documents panel over a project folder in CadCraft (View > More > Documents..., or DOCUMENTS), PartCraft and BimCraft (File > Documents...), and so in SuperCad Studio, which hosts them. Check out and in with a lock file two people respect, revision letters (A.1, A.2, A, B.1; ASME skip), states (work in progress, for review, released, obsolete) with the revision table and a revision block on the sheet, history of who did what, where-used and BOM (PartCraft assemblies, xrefs, IFC links), approver list and four eyes (LC.8 merged), title-block fields VAULT.REV/STATE/DATE/APPROVER, read-only guard on Save, cloud folders in Studio (server built). Walkthrough: help topic "Documents and revisions (the vault)" in the three apps. Tested: lib/vault 141, UI 68, bridge 15, cloud 22, TWO REAL PROCESSES on one folder and on a cloud folder 86 (24 of 24 simultaneous check-outs, one winner each), walkthrough buttons 82; real pages 26+26+45 and Super 15; lock_ops.rs 4 under rustc. Found and fixed: BimCraft did not mount in Super. Not built: the sheet set's index does not show each sheet's revision; Open copy and Compare only in CadCraft; the approver is a typed name; no cloud folder in a web tab (Studio first); the commands in desktop-shell are not cargo-compiled (Windows Studio 0.9 build). Real shared-folder check with two people: SU.1058-HAND.

FeatureSU.1083 Link to SU.1083Comment on SU.1083 CadCraft: a thinner, floating command line and a smaller top area, to give the drawing more room

Asked (#1083, Oct 27, in Italian): make the command line at the bottom resizable, much thinner and floating as in AutoCAD, and shrink the top commands area, for more working space. Do: command line docks bottom or floats (drag, remembered), one-line height option with the history in a pop-up, ties into the layout-fit prompt and compact ribbon already built (WS, PANEL-COMPACT, shell.fit). **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 pick #10, second five, hardest first; session `cad-cmdline-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/cad-cmdline-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

FeatureSU.1112 Link to SU.1112Comment on SU.1112 Live in every app: see each other's cursors and names while co-editing

Asked (#1112, Oct 28): collaboration where people see each other's cursors, so working in teams is easier. CadCraft's Live already shows other people's cursors and selections (live.js presence). Do: the same presence layer in the other apps' Live sessions (cursor, name colour, selection), reusing the CadCraft code through the shared Live library. Relates to DC.27 and EG.41. **Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 pick #7, second five, hardest first; session `live-cursors-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/live-cursors-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49). **Built 2026-11-02** (session `live-cursors-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/live-cursors-09.md): one shared presence layer (assets/js/live-presence.js, synced by tools/shell/sync.mjs) with a thin adapter in each app's live.js; BimCraft, ModelCraft, TakeoffCraft, CivilCraft, DetailCraft and PartCraft now show cursors, names in the person's color and selections; CadCraft and MarkupCraft keep their own views on the same palette. Tested with two real pages per app (tools/live-apps-test/browser-apps.mjs) and test-presence.mjs.

FeatureSU.1192 Link to SU.1192Comment on SU.1192 DetailCraft: UK steel sizes (UB, UC, PFC, EA, UEA, CHS, SHS, RHS) and unequal angles

Asked (#1192, Nov 3): add UK steel member sizes for UB, UC, PFC, EA, UEA, CHS, SHS, RHS. Built in /lab: 976 sizes from the Steel for Life Blue Book (hot finished and cold formed hollow sections apart) in the shared section table, in DetailCraft's profile lists, CadCraft's Standard panel, PartCraft weldments and BimCraft's rolled-shape check. Sizes typed as on drawings work (305x165x40 UB, L100x100x10). DetailCraft now handles unequal angles: both legs in IFC in and out and NC files, a mirror turns the piece end for end. Not checked yet by a UK fabricator; NC files for UEA not run on a machine.

FeatureSU.886 Link to SU.886Comment on SU.886 Router carving add-on: V-carve, engrave and relief from a depth map to G-code, with an editable post and a program check

Asked (#886, Oct 21): an open-source, agent-friendly CAM for hobby CNC routers and laser cutter/engravers: 2D (DWG, DXF, SVG, image) and 3D (STEP, STL, depth map) in, G-code out; cutting, V-carving, engraving, tool library, nesting, simulation, editable post-processors, agents that can check the G-code. Suggested name CamCraft or CarveCraft. Answer (owner 2026-11-04): not a ninth app. Most of it already existed: PartCraft CAM (contour, pocket, adaptive, drill, chamfer, 3D finishing, material-removal simulation, editable posts, LC.15), laser cutting and engraving incl. picture engraving (SU.772), nesting (LC.17), cabinet G-code (SU.1035). The gap was V-carving, relief carving from a depth map, and a G-code check, so it is one add-on over a DOM-free engine in lib/carve (so SuperCad Studio and the other apps can host it). Built in /lab (CadCraft add-on `carving`, off until switched on in Settings > General > Add-ons): V-carve of closed outlines (medial-axis V-bit pass with the depth set by the width, every axis point moved onto the exact bisector; flat floor at a maximum depth cleared by a flat mill or the V-bit), engraving at a depth, relief from a grey picture (drop-cutter finishing with ball, flat or V cutters, layered roughing with a leave); G-code through an editable post-processor (GRBL, LinuxCNC, Mach3, Fanuc style, inches or millimetres); a checker that reads any program back (no feed, no spindle, rapid across the work, outside the table, too deep, no unit, no end); preview of the cut block; commands CARVE, CARVEDRAW, CARVEGCODE. Not built: text to outlines (CadCraft has no such command yet), picture to vector tracing, a tool library, tabs and lead-in arcs, arcs in the G-code, 4/5-axis and lathe, PartCraft / ModelCraft / SuperCad Studio hosts (the engine is shared, an adapter each), the Library listing. Hand checks on a real machine are the owner's.

FeatureSU.1209 Link to SU.1209Comment on SU.1209 CadCraft: draw.io XML to 2D geometry (DIAGRAM reads <mxfile> / <mxGraphModel>, positions kept)

Asked (#1209, Nov 5): turn the draw.io XML a local model (Qwen coder) writes into 2D geometry, so PDF/SVG content a model reads can become drawing objects; feed it straight from a local LLM. Built in /lab: DIAGRAM (T2D), the diagram_from_text tool and its headless twin read draw.io XML: boxes, rounded, ellipse, rhombus, text, swimlane/container boxes (dashed, titled), connectors with waypoints, arrow ends, dashed; HTML labels to text; positions kept (12 px = the text height); draw.io's compressed save is inflated first. Local model: no new code, it already works through AC.7 (Ollama / LM Studio / llama.cpp recipes) calling diagram_from_text with format drawio; not tried with a real local runner (none installed). Untested on real draw.io files beyond the test fixtures; shapes of other kinds are drawn as boxes, images and loose-end connectors skipped and counted. Test: bin/test-cadcraft.mjs, 9 new checks.

FeatureSU.1084 Link to SU.1084Comment on SU.1084 Schematic capture and circuit simulation (a Multisim-style tool)

Asked (#1084, Oct 27): schematic simulation software without a subscription, easy like NI Multisim. Built 2026-11-06 (session circuit-09): the CadCraft add-on `circuit` (Circuit simulation, off by default) on lib/schematic and lib/em. A schematic editor (resistor, capacitor, inductor, DC, AC and pulse sources, current source, switch, diode, LED, NPN/PNP, N/P MOSFET, op-amp, ground), wiring with junctions, net names, a rule check through Problems (no ground, floating pins, duplicate names, two names joined, bad values, no DC path, source loops). DC operating point, transient and AC sweep, read with a meter, scope and plotter placed on nets. Save/Open, netlist export, example, help in English. Measured (public_html/assets/apps/cadcraft/a Discord member/addons/circuit/test/test.mjs, 87 passed; errors printed): divider 2e-9, RC step worst 1e-3 V on 5 V, RLC resonance curve 1e-10, rectifier peak vs an independent Shockley solve 6e-12, op-amp stage 1e-13, MOSFET 1e-11, BJT bias 2e-7, LED 1e-8. Real page in Chromium: test/browser.mjs, 30 passed (with the mount added by a route). Not claimed: equality with Multisim or any program; Multisim files and part models are not read; no real part library (values are typed, generic defaults); op-amp has no rails or bandwidth; no noise, sweeps or Monte Carlo; not tried on a phone or in Studio. Mounted 2026-11-06: "circuit" in CadCraft's a Discord member addons/index.json (off by default); browser test 30/0 with the real index. SuperCad Studio mounts CadCraft inline from its a Discord member build, so the add-on is listed there too. Not claimed: equality with Multisim.

FeatureSU.961 Link to SU.961Comment on SU.961 Sprockets for roller chain by standard (the missing third of #961)

Asked (#961, Oct 24, in Spanish): nesting of parts inside the CAD, standard profile tables as in AutoCAD Mechanical, and sprockets. Checked 2026-11-05: nesting is built and released (PartCraft's Nest flat parts, CadCraft's Nesting add-on; SU.755, NEST-CAD-PATH) and standard steel profiles are built (the shared section tables in CadCraft's Standard panel, PartCraft weldments, DetailCraft; UK sizes in /lab by SU.1192). Built 2026-11-06 (sprockets-data): sprockets are a CadCraft add-on, Roller chain sprockets (id chain, off by default, in the lab): SPROCKET draws the real tooth outline for a chain number and tooth count; CHAINS lists the table; CHAINSOURCES names the catalogues. Table lib/chain/chain-table.json: 38 chains (ANSI 25 to 240, ISO 606 A series 08A to 48A with 085, B series 04B to 48B), pitch, roller, inner width and plate height read from nine public catalogues on 2026-11-06 and kept only where two agree (tools/chain/chain-sources.mjs, build-chain-table.mjs); NOT copied from ISO 606 or ASME B29.1. Left out: ISO 04C, 06C, 36A (one catalogue only) and plate heights the catalogues dispute (null). Found by the real rows: the default tip circle let the swinging roller hit the tip edge at 25 to 28 teeth, now 0.35 p above the pitch circle. Tests: test-chain-table.mjs 3326/0 (every chain draws and seats at 9 to 80 teeth), test-chain.mjs 298/0, add-on test 14/0, browser-chain.mjs 11/0 in /lab/cadcraft, catalogue entry + listing seeded (lab). Limits: the tooth form (2 % seat clearance, 80 degree seat half angle, tip, tooth width) is our generator's, not the standard's, and no sprocket was compared with a catalogue sprocket; CadCraft only (PartCraft, ModelCraft and SuperCad Studio hosts and Library items on the owner's seed go are not done).

FeatureSU.1087 Link to SU.1087Comment on SU.1087 ModelCraft is the SketchUp-style modeller, with CAD tools beside it in CadCraft Studio

Asked (#1087, Oct 28): SketchUp with a full CAD tool set pre-installed; the last free version (2017) is hard to find and runs badly on new machines. Covered by what is built and released (checked 2026-11-05; nothing new was built for this card): ModelCraft is our push/pull modeller in the SketchUp style, free, in the browser and in CadCraft Studio; it imports .skp files with groups, components, colours, textures, tags and soft edges (help "Bring in an SKP model"); CadCraft (2D and 3D CAD), PartCraft and the other apps are in the same CadCraft Studio. Not the same program: SketchUp extensions (Ruby plug-ins) do not run, and .skp is read, not written. Test re-run 2026-11-05: tools/skp-test/test.mjs --no-fuzz (see the log).
