CadCraft 0.7 impact map

Our 0.4 installer on a clean Windows 11 VM, with and without WebView2. 0.4.1 bundles the runtime for the known case.

cadcraft/dev/m3d/ differs from ModelCraft’s since 2026-10-15 (before the lc-model session). It was not re-copied because CadCraft never animates, so it does not need the new methods. Decide whether to re-copy on the next sync, and run the CadCraft 3D tests if so.

Stack-ups run in one direction only (decided for now). Two- and three-direction chains (a stack-up across X and Y, or around an angle) would be a later step.

The machine was busy when LC.17 and LC.18 were timed. Re-run both on a quiet machine before any speed is quoted in release notes.

Read through web-e57 (Apache-2.0) in its own vendor folder, behind one readE57 call, in the cloud worker: every scan with its pose, colour, intensity. A Rust crate can replace it in 0.7 (Track RS moved there).

A fixture pack in all six versions and a checklist (docs/DWG-AUTOCAD-CHECK.md): AUDIT, layers, sheets, dimensions, hatches, attributes, dynamic blocks, XCLIP, images. Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 18, 20): keep objects editable when the drawing goes back to AutoCAD — “the market here still needs DWG”. Our save keeps dimensions, layouts, MTEXT, attributes and 3D; the AutoCAD/TrueView run is still the missing proof.

Suggests using Rust WebAssembly instead of porting to native languages for better performance.

An open-source script in Archicad’s Python palette exports IFC, layouts as PDF + DWG, and a manifest with views, layout book, properties and template standards. BimCraft opens the bundle as one project; standards load into BimCraft and CadCraft. Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (#cadcraft Oct 21; #craft-apps Oct 19, 21): ArchiCAD workflows.

IFC in and out keeping GlobalIds, property sets and classifications; parameter ↔ property mapping files; BCF for issues; a round-trip report.

The owner on Discord (2026-10-19): BimCraft opens a .ccbundle.zip in 0.7, and every CadCraft app can open one as well. Bundle format docs/spikes/archicad-bundle.md; reader bundle-open.js (BimCraft). Related: DF.12b Archicad bundle.

Optional translated names, types and parameter labels in the item format, shown in the session’s language in apps and schedules.

A data reference that updates when the source changes.

Windows through Azure Artifact Signing, macOS with the DDG Developer ID and notarisation. The site’s unsigned notices change with it.

Tablets and phones, signed with our release key; listing needs phone screenshots.

Signed with The Data Design Group team; built and tested on the simulator so far.

Device family iPhone + iPad, orientations, Info.plist keys, iPhone screenshots for the listing.

Files from the Files app, sign-in, Live over Bonjour, the keyboard over the command line.

Proposed alongside Windows signing; not decided.

Expresses disappointment that apps depend on Tauri and web components, questioning performance viability.

Needs Stripe Connect, tax and payout terms. 0.5 kept outside add-ons free; "not before 0.6".

Request to verify contributor backgrounds to prevent malicious code additions that could cause data leaks.

Covers Forma Site Design and InfraWorks. Masses on a real site from CivilCraft’s GIS and terrain; sun hours and shadows, facade daylight, zoning envelope, street view; masses handed to BimCraft. Spike first.

Covers Forma Design Collaboration, BIM Collaborate and Docs. Team projects across every app, versions, comments and BCF issues on any file, a federated team model, notifications. Restarts "Working together, step 2". Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (#SolidCraft Oct 17; #technical-development Oct 17): save to Google Drive or other cloud folders, a shared cloud-storage brick for all apps, real-time collaboration across all apps. Cloud folders on B2 are specced (docs/CLOUD-FOLDERS-SPEC.md); synced Drive/OneDrive folders work today through the folder picker.

Covers ReCap. Several scans placed by targets or point pairs, refined by ICP with the error shown, saved as one project, exported as E57 or LAS.

Covers Plant 3D and Factory Design Utilities. P&ID symbols, tags and line lists in CadCraft; spec-driven 3D piping and equipment in BimCraft; isometrics. As add-ons.

Covers Raster Design. Insert, scale, deskew and clean a scanned sheet, erase raster areas, snap to raster lines; a lines-and-arcs auto trace with no learning.

Covers Autodesk Build. RFIs, submittals and daily logs tied to sheets in MarkupCraft, assignments and due dates, offline on a tablet.

Covers Vault and Fusion Manage. Check-in and check-out, revisions and release states, where-used and BOMs from PartCraft and CadCraft, an approval step.

The build after DF.26 if it is a go: ducts and pipes by size and system, fittings, equipment, IFC systems, clash with the structure. Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (3 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 21; #craft-apps Oct 19, 21): a Revit MEP alternative, an ArchiCAD-style MEP designer.

Covers Tandem. The handed-over IFC as a facility model: asset data, spaces, systems, documents, sensor values from CSV or a feed, a maintenance list. Spike first.

Covers Forma for Preconstruction, BuildingConnected, Bid Board Pro and TradeTapp. Bid packages from a TakeoffCraft estimate, invitations, prices back, a leveling sheet, subcontractor records.

Covers Configurator 360 and Informed Design. A PartCraft configuration published as a configurator page with 3D and DWG/STEP/IFC downloads; the same item parametric in BimCraft.

Covers Inventor CAM, FeatureCAM, PowerMill and CAMplete. Contour, pocket, drill, 3D finishing, a tool library, material-removal simulation, post-processors; turning and inspection later. Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (3 mentions, #SolidCraft Oct 17; #cadcraft Oct 18): integrated toolpaths and post-processor files (.cps) so G-code fits each machine. PartCraft has CAM with Fanuc, GRBL and LinuxCNC posts built in; missing is a post you can edit yourself (Fusion .cps is Autodesk's JS dialect: read the idea, not the files).

Covers InfoWorks ICM, InfoWater, XPSWMM and InfoDrainage. Pressure and dynamic routing in CivilCraft on EPA EPANET and SWMM (public domain) as WebAssembly.

Covers Insight. Loads, annual use and daylight factors from BimCraft’s spaces and constructions. Spike: EnergyPlus and Radiance as WebAssembly vs our own simplified engine.

Covers Tinkercad, Meshmixer and Netfabb. A beginner mode in ModelCraft, and print prep on the 3D-print check: repair, hollow, supports preview, STL/3MF.

User proposes collapsing eight separate apps into one app with plugin-based operating modes for BIM, 3D, CAM, GIS, and structural work instead of separate applications.

Request for BimCraft plugins that export to Twinmotion and Enscape rendering engines.

Request to create a RhinoCraft or GrasshopperCraft product with parametric modeling and scripting capabilities like Rhino and Grasshopper.

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.

Character animation and production tracking (Maya, Flow Production Tracking): leave out, or fold into SuperCadCraft’s scope.

The updater is built but off: it needs your update signing key, a release feed, and decision 10 (checks on by default?). a Discord member asked on Discord. -- We'll allow Studio settings to have on by default and checkmark can be turned off; Will need a "check for updates" - report current and latest version. Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Before it turns on: D7.54 (three updater bugs found 2026-10-21 — the What's new card nags with updates off, the feed lists only Windows x64, errors read as “network”).

Pick the final name for Live / Work together.

Free only (recommended), or paid with a revenue share: Stripe Connect, tax and payout terms. Moved out of Decision Time 2026-10-17: Free outside add-ons only, as recommended. Paid add-ons with a revenue share stay a separate candidate (PAID-AO).

Confirm the stores list Studio only (recommended). Moved out of Decision Time 2026-10-17: Store listings name Studio only, as recommended.

Set LIVE_PUBLIC=1 and approve the pricing and Catalog copy that goes with it. Moved out of Decision Time 2026-10-17: Ships behind the switch LIVE_PUBLIC (0 now). Setting 1 opens Live invite links.

Change APP_SIGNIN_CHECKS from lab to on, so the sign-in checks and alert mails reach everyone. Moved out of Decision Time 2026-10-17: Ships behind the switch APP_SIGNIN_CHECKS (lab now). Changing it to on sends the sign-in checks and alert mails to everyone.

Set TAKEOFF_PACKS_INSTALL=1 to show "Install in TakeoffCraft" on /addons. Moved out of Decision Time 2026-10-17: Ships behind the switch TAKEOFF_PACKS_INSTALL (unset = off). Setting 1 shows "Install in TakeoffCraft" on /addons.

Set ADDONS_KIT_PUBLIC, ADDONS_UPLOADS and ADDONS_PUBLIC; allow one-click install for packs and input styles.

Approve and send the drafted "Build an add-on" and Apparel news and Discord posts.

On /admin/suggestions move #507, #600, #572, #578, #531, #462, #573 (and #461, #567); this emails people.

Post the drafted Discord reply: doors and windows are in the BimCraft lab.

Counsel reviews the third-party library BimCraft uses to read Revit files (an Apache-2.0 open-source library, pinned and built from source) before the preview leaves the lab. We did not write it, and we do not read or copy any Autodesk code.

Real projects for re-checking, and a Windows machine with Revit for the exporter. Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (6 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 19; #craft-apps Oct 19–21): Revit .rvt support is the most-repeated BIM ask; several people did not know BimCraft exists (D7.61).

Per-app style names, missing family members, PartCraft orbit, single-letter keys in the Civil and Steel ribbons.

Live textures in BimCraft’s 3D view, and keeping the 15 entourage items.

List them on /addons; a mechanical or plumbing professional reviews the labelled defaults.

A hand-made marker to compare nesting with, and our DXF-AAMA opened in another pattern program. MARKERNEST has not been compared with a marker made by a pattern maker, and none of our styles includes one: we would need to ask a pattern maker for one.

Repo layout for PartCraft’s public examples.

Which files in testfiles/dwg-samples may go into public repos.

Archive the old local per-app repositories once the public app repos are confirmed complete. They are never published.

Post asking for the bug files (a Discord member, a Discord member); invite rolo to /lab; the ArtCraft name clash.

a Discord member suggests 'CadStudio' as an alternative name.

Decided for now: CadCraft outlines are nested in PartCraft through DXF. A Nesting add-on inside CadCraft would be a new build. Keep it as is, or ask for the add-on.

Taken by the session under rule 9 until you say otherwise: (1) faint planes cannot be clicked; (2) Dimension as you draw is on for existing users too, because new users cannot be told apart; (3) a typed line angle other than 0, 90, 180 or 270 sets the direction but is not dimensioned; (4) Cut into it starts at half the part’s thickness; (5) there is no drag handle on Through all ends or on values an equation drives. All are in the session log’s For the owner section.

Owner 2026-10-21: can we connect to KCL so its items can be inserted into the open drawing? Checked 2026-10-21: KCL (Revalize) is a paid subscription library with its own AutoCAD and Revit add-ins and partner integrations for design and quoting programs; no public API was found. Today CadCraft and BimCraft open KCL blocks only from files the person already has (Library > Files, INSERT F; the equipment schedule reads KCL-ITEM / KCL-MFR attributes), and LIBRARY-SPEC says there is no KCL API integration and copy never says it integrates. A live link needs KCL as a partner: the owner asks KCL / Revalize about their partner program and terms (who may download, caching, attribution, account sign-in). If they agree: a Library source that signs in with the person own KCL account, searches, and places the block with its attributes and schedule data (one undo step). Without them: a Library source for a folder of KCL downloads the person already has.

Samples for lookup, XY, rotation and polar parameters and array, rotate and lookup actions.

Best at 4K and High quality in /lab/modelcraft on your machine; report the times. One data point so far: a 49-frame 480p animation video took 38 s on this busy server’s CPU graphics. Rendering and headset speed on a real graphics card are still unmeasured.

Find estimators to review the 16 starter packs before any is marked reviewed.

A native speaker reviews the es-MX drafts (about 3,700 new strings) so "borrador" can come off.

LC.19 ran only in an emulator. Put on a real headset, open a model in ModelCraft and BimCraft, enter VR, and report what works (movement, comfort, anything that fails).

Not checked. If Studio’s web views have no WebXR, the VR button there says “No VR headset found” and VR is browser-only. Open VR in the packed Studio on Windows, macOS and Linux and say which, so the help and release notes tell the truth.

No openly available worked textbook example was found (the only copies online were pirated, so none were used). LC.18 is checked against hand-worked examples, every best and worst combination of 20 random chains, and a simulation of 200,000 random assemblies. A few printed examples from a book such as Fischer’s, typed into the test, would close this.

The ISO 2768 tolerance values in the stack-up tool were typed in by hand. Look them over once against your copy of the standard.

Only ezdxf has checked a saved nest DXF so far. Open one in the software your cutter or plotter uses and report whether the pieces, layers and units come in right.

Wherever the site or release notes name the Spanish draft, name the Indonesian draft the same way. Written for the owner, applied on the go for the release.

With an edge or arc selected, typing /n in the value box (the same /3 that spreads Move copies today) splits it into n equal edges, with a vertex at each division. An arc is divided along its curve, by equal angle, not along its chord. A curve made of many segments (a circle's or an arc's edges) is divided by length along the whole curve. Also a Divide… item on the right-click menu that asks for the number, so it works on a tablet with no keyboard. One undo step. Build it on model.js splitEdge. In the m3d kernel, so re-copy to the other apps (docs/3D-SPEC.md). Tests in bin/test-modelcraft.mjs: a line /3, an arc /4 (equal angles), a 24-segment circle /6, undo.

ModelCraft was left out of DF.3 (0.6 typed arithmetic): its value box reads 2.5 but refuses 2.5/3, 4+7/16 and (2.5)/3. Give it its own copy of the DF.3 parser (cadcraft/dev/lencalc.js rules: + - * / and parentheses over lengths with units, no eval, a refusal that says where) and use it in units.js parseValue for every length, in the tape measure and every other tool. A leading /n, n x, *n and ns keep their meanings (divide copies, array, sides), so /3 is still the copy command and 2.5/3 is a length. Same in the other 3D apps that use the m3d value box. Add ModelCraft to tools/lencalc/sync.mjs. Tests: 2.5/3, 12'6"+3/4", (24'-0")/3, 2*450mm, and /3, 3x, 24s unchanged.

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).

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).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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).

Owner 2026-10-21 (screenshot of a compact docked layout): let panels and tool rows go compact like a classic engineering app. Several panels stacked in one dock (e.g. a tree above Properties), each with a slim title bar (menu, pin/auto-hide, close), tabs inside a panel group, a small icon toolbar per panel, dense rows, and a Properties grid with collapsible categories, label/value columns and inline sliders and checkboxes. A Compact density in Settings > General for every app; the default layout stays as it is. Built in the shell (app-panels.js) so SuperCadCraft SC.2 reuses it.

Owner 2026-10-21 (screenshot of a drafting ribbon): a ribbon layout in the same spirit, our own design (not a copy). Today the Ribbon menu style draws every button big, one row per group. Add: per group a few large buttons plus the rest stacked three high as small icon + label buttons; split buttons (main action + a small arrow listing its variants, e.g. Line/Polyline, Linear/Aligned dimensions); inline controls where an app has them (CadCraft: current layer list with on/freeze/lock icons, colour / linetype / lineweight By layer lists); group names along the bottom with an arrow opening that group extra tools; works with Compact density (PANEL-COMPACT) and with the toolbar rows setting from CP.1. Data-driven in each app style file (item size, split, control), drawn by the shell app-input-ui.js. Trade dress: our icons, colours and spacing, no copied artwork.

Keep IFC's own geometry representations (extrusions, swept solids, Booleans) wherever possible so a model exports compactly and can be edited later; many programs store only a list of faces. Reuse the modeling code from ModelCraft for the family editor.

People on Discord can't find multi-level walls in BimCraft. Today a wall's top is either "Up to the level above" or a fixed height. A fixed height can be taller than one floor, but the upper levels' plans don't show the wall (each plan draws only its own level's walls, model-plan.js planCut skips other storeys), rooms up there don't close against it, and it doesn't follow level height changes. Build: (1) wall Top = any level above (Level 3, Roof…) + offset, in the wall panel and the Draw bar (CadCraft_Wall TopLevel already takes any level's GlobalId; wallHeight already measures to it); (2) every plan the wall passes through shows it cut, and rooms on those levels close against it; (3) doors and windows can be placed in the part of the wall on an upper level.

### Problem Description On standard desktop and laptop resolutions (e.g. 1080p, 1440x900, 1366x768), the top ribbon toolbar (`.cc-tools`) wrapped all tool groups (`File`, `Draw`, `Modify`, `Annotate`, `Parametric`, `Blocks`, `Sheets`, `Edit`, `View`) into 3–5 stacked rows. - This consumed significant vertical space, drastically shrinking the active model drafting canvas. - There was no mechanism to cycle the ribbon to compact states (e.g., small symbols, labels-only, or hidden) familiar to users coming from AutoCAD (`Ctrl+F1`). - There was no user control over ribbon row/layer density (e.g., choosing 1 row, 2 rows, or fluid wrapping). --- ### Diagnosis & Root Cause 1. **Unconstrained Multi-Line Flex Wrapping**: In `app/cadcraft.css`, `.cc-tools` was declared with `flex-wrap: wrap` without horizontal overflow scrolling or height constraints. All 9 tool groups stacked vertically whenever the viewport was narrower than ~2500px. 2. **Absence of Display Mode States & Hotkeys**: No data attribute or state machine existed to toggle between AutoCAD-like ribbon display modes (`full`, `symbols`, `text`, `hidden`), nor a dedicated cycler button or `Ctrl+F1` keyboard shortcut. 3. **Absence of Row Configuration**: Users drafting on different monitor aspect ratios had no setting to lock the ribbon to a single row (preserving maximum canvas height) or 2 rows. 4. **Initial Implementation Regressions Identified**: - **Temporal Dead Zone (TDZ) ReferenceError**: In `app/cadcraft.js`, referencing `ribbonRowsState` within the `settingsDlg` initialization before its `let` declaration caused an uncaught `ReferenceError`. This aborted script execution prior to canvas pointer lis… Opened on GitHub by a Discord member: https://github.com/getcadcraft/cadcraft/issues/1 Discord CSV 2026-10-21: Asked again on Discord (Oct 17–20): icon + label toolbars, a Windows-style layout. Side docking: D7.02.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Asked: attach/insert images and OLE objects (4 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 17, 19, 20; #craft-apps Oct 19). Checked 2026-10-21: images are built (IMAGEATTACH PNG/JPEG, IMAGE, IMAGECLIP, paste a picture). OLE: the reader decodes OLE2FRAME but the app neither shows nor inserts it. Do: draw an OLE object's preview picture where the file has one (else a labelled frame), keep it on save; inserting new OLE objects stays out (Windows-only).

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.

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.

Asked: STEP (and NC1 steel) support (#cadcraft Oct 20); SolidWorks / Creo / CATIA parts with features (3 mentions, #SolidCraft Oct 18 — STEP named there as the practical bar). Checked 2026-10-21: NC1/DSTV is built (DetailCraft, nc1.js). PartCraft exports a faceted STEP on the mesh kernel, but STEP import (and exact STEP export) needs the OpenCascade kernel, which is off in shipped builds (LGPL) — so a user can't open a STEP today. No STEP in ModelCraft or BimCraft. Native SLDPRT/Creo/CATIA stay out (closed formats); the SolidWorks macro exchange (tools/partcraft-sw) still needs its first run in SolidWorks. Do: a clean-room AP203/214/242 reader for faceted and B-rep bodies (tessellated to the mesh kernel), in PartCraft, ModelCraft and BimCraft. See D7.45 for the kernel.

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.

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).

Asked: a Civil 3D alternative (2 mentions, #craft-apps Oct 17, 20). Checked 2026-10-21: CivilCraft already covers most of the Civil 3D list (TIN surfaces, alignments, profiles, corridors, pipe networks, drainage, grading, parcels, mass-haul, sections, LandXML, plan/profile sheets). The gaps that stand out: alignments have no spirals (alignment.js), corridors have one simple symmetric assembly (no curb, gutter, sidewalk; corridor.js). Do: clothoid spirals (LandXML in/out), an assembly editor with curb, gutter, sidewalk and daylight subassemblies, different left/right. LC.16 covers networks.

Asked: a constraint solver that stays understandable in large assemblies, and many constraints without crashing (2 mentions, #craft-apps Oct 20; #SolidCraft Oct 18). Checked 2026-10-21: sketches have a real solver with redundancy/conflict analysis (solver.js); assemblies are placed by walking a tree from the grounded part, and a joint that closes a loop is only checked, not solved (assembly.js). Nothing tests a large sketch. Do: a loop-closing assembly solver with the same over-/under-defined colours, and a 500-constraint sketch + 50-part assembly stress test with timings.

Asked: use a permissively licensed CAD kernel, NVIDIA's open-sourced SMLib suggested (#craft-apps Oct 18); proprietary kernels called the hard part (Oct 20). Related DC.43. Checked 2026-10-21: PartCraft ships on manifold-3d (mesh); OpenCascade is off in shipped builds (LGPL), which is why STEP import, exact fillets and shells don't work for users (see D7.26). The K.1 spike (tools/partcraft-test/k1-spike) last judged truck a no-go. Do: check SMLib's licence and state, build it to WebAssembly, and run the K.1 tests (booleans, fillet, shell, STEP) against it; a go/no-go for the owner.

Asked: convert meshes to solids (#SolidCraft Oct 17). Checked 2026-10-21: PartCraft opens only .json and STEP; ModelCraft imports OBJ as faces and treats closed meshes as solids for booleans, but there is no mesh → body path. PartCraft's manifold kernel can take a closed mesh directly. Do: import STL/OBJ/3MF as a body (repair small gaps, report what can't close), usable in booleans and CAM; planar faces merged so sketches can sit on them.

Asked: weldments (#SolidCraft Oct 18). Checked 2026-10-21: deferred since 0.4 (0.4-PLAN). DetailCraft places profile members point to point with welds, but PartCraft has no members along a sketch. Do: a Structural member feature (DetailCraft's profile library along 2D/3D sketch lines), trim/extend at corners, end caps, gussets, a cut list with lengths and angles.

Asked: the Parameters window drops to a low frame rate at about 740 features (#SolidCraft Oct 18; reported about Tangency Labs' app). Checked 2026-10-21: we have no large-model test (only 30 rebuilds of small parts). Do: a generated 750-feature part in testfiles/generated/ (LARGE-FILES.md), time rebuild, Parameters window and feature tree scrolling; fix what's slow (virtualised lists, incremental rebuild).

Asked: a portable, no-install Windows build (#SolidCraft Oct 18). Checked 2026-10-21: Studio is NSIS (per user, no admin) plus an MSI on CI; no portable build. Do: a zip with the exe and data kept beside it (portable flag), the fixed WebView2 runtime inside, no updater; on /download under the installer.

Asked: the updater fails when a release has no asset for this platform; it still nags with updates off; show Open instead of Update (5 mentions about ArtCraft's launcher and SolidCraft, #SolidCraft Oct 17, #technical-development Oct 18, #craft-apps Oct 21). Checked 2026-10-21 — real in ours: (a) the hub sets updateReady whenever the build has a feed, not when a newer version exists, so the dismissed What's new card returns at every start, even with updates off (hub.js); (b) the feed has only windows-x86_64 (build.mjs), so any other platform with a feed gets “target not found”, reported as “network:” (updates.rs); (c) the hub reads r.message from a plain-string result, so every check shows the generic text. Fix all three before UPDATES turns on.

Asked: jagged touchpad scrolling (#craft-apps Oct 18; about ArtCraft's egui apps). Checked 2026-10-21: egui doesn't apply to ours, but CadCraft's 2D wheel handler always zooms and ignores deltaX (cadcraft.js), so a trackpad swipe zooms and sideways swipes do nothing. The 3D view already does it right (ws3d.js: swipe orbits, pinch zooms). Do: the same trackpad detection in 2D — swipe pans, pinch (ctrlKey) zooms, a mouse wheel still zooms — in every app's 2D canvas (own copies).

Asked: black screen on start on Linux after an update (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 18, 21; about ArtCraft's app). Checked 2026-10-21: ours has no guard for the known WebKitGTK blank window (NVIDIA, Wayland); nothing sets WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER. Also: the .deb/AppImage are named on the site but neither build.mjs nor a CI workflow builds them — find or add the Linux build. Do: set the variable before Tauri starts when it isn't set, a Linux CI job, and a clean-VM check (WIN-CLEAN-style community test).

Asked: a bug-report form that takes DWG/DXF/LSP, not just pictures (2 mentions, #cadcraft Oct 18). Related DISCORD-ASK. Checked 2026-10-21: our suggest, roadmap-suggest and contact forms take no files. Do: up to 3 files (DWG, DXF, LSP, PDF, IFC, PNG/JPG; 50 MB) on the support and roadmap forms, stored privately (B2, outside the web root), visible to staff only, deleted after 90 days; the form says who sees them.

Asked: users mistake ArtCraft's CADcraft, Tangency Labs' SolidCraft and getcadcraft for one product — “is this an official tool?”, “naming is confusing”, a LinkedIn question (7 mentions, #craft-apps Oct 17, 20; #cadcraft Oct 17; #SolidCraft Oct 17). Many SolidWorks/Fusion asks were really for SolidCraft (12 mentions) — PartCraft is ours. Do: a short FAQ entry and site footer line (which CadCraft this is, what we make, what we don't), a pinned Discord answer to paste, and an About line in Studio. The rename itself is DC.84 (owner).

Asked: people ask for BIM, Revit, Fusion, SketchUp and Civil 3D not knowing BimCraft, ModelCraft, PartCraft and CivilCraft exist; a per-app roadmap (6 mentions, #craft-apps Oct 17–21). Checked 2026-10-21: /roadmap is one list with no app filter; each app page says what's built and links to the roadmap, but not to its own steps. Do: ?app= filter on /roadmap and app pages linking to their steps; a “If you use X, use our Y” table (Revit → BimCraft, SketchUp → ModelCraft, Fusion/SolidWorks → PartCraft, Civil 3D → CivilCraft, Bluebeam → MarkupCraft) on the site and as a Discord paste.

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).
