* Block Editor: BEDIT, BSAVE, BSAVEAS and BCLOSE for static blocks BEDIT opens a block definition in the drawing's own tab with its base point at the origin, and the block's objects are edited with the ordinary commands. BSAVE writes them back into the definition, so every reference in the drawing updates (one undo step in the drawing); BSAVEAS saves under a new name; BCLOSE goes back to the drawing, asking whether to save unsaved changes. - The drawing waits untouched while the editor is open (blockedit.rs): its undo history, selection and views come back on BCLOSE. Objects left unchanged are saved back exactly, so no coordinate drifts. - Files save the drawing outside the editor; autosave keeps the editor's unsaved changes in the block; the close/quit prompt's Save puts them into the block first. - Right-click a selected block reference: Block Editor. In the editor the canvas is tinted, the base point is marked, and a bar offers Save Block, Save Block As and Close Block Editor (also in the right-click menu). The Block tool set's Block Editor button is now live. BLOCKEDITOR sysvar. - Layout and paper-space commands are refused while the editor is open; a block can't be saved to contain a reference to itself. - Dynamic blocks: their data is kept; the editor says it can't edit their parameters yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * BEDIT: find dynamic block data on the block's BLOCK_RECORD A dynamic block's ACAD_ENHANCEDBLOCK dictionary hangs off its BLOCK_RECORD table entry, not the BLOCK entity, so the "parameters are kept" note never showed for AutoCAD files. Regression test with the data laid out as an AutoCAD DXF has it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * BEDIT: a dynamic block reference opens its dynamic block A dynamic block reference with values of its own shows an anonymous block (`*U12`), so the right-click Block Editor (and BEDIT on a picked or selected reference) refused it and asked for a name. The anonymous block's record names its dynamic block in AcDbBlockRepBTag xdata; BEDIT now opens that, as AutoCAD does. Regression test.

# CADCraft roadmap detail
|
||
|
||
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-12 · **Change:** minor (Block Editor for static blocks: "Use blocks" evidence updated) · **Target:** Autodesk AutoCAD 2027
|
||
|
||
Forward-looking plan: milestones with status, the current focus, and what comes next with
|
||
estimates. The summary is [ROADMAP.md](../ROADMAP.md); the work items behind every line are in
|
||
[gaps.md](gaps.md); numbers come from [target-app-parity.md](target-app-parity.md). Hours are
|
||
Opus 5.5 agent-hours.
|
||
|
||
## Current focus
|
||
|
||
1. **Gate and land.** (`cargo fmt` on main is fixed.) Add a PR workflow that runs
|
||
`cargo xtask ci`, then review and land the 47 open PRs, most of them community bug fixes
|
||
(S1–S3). ≈ 15–25 h.
|
||
2. **Stop losing data on save** (FF1, FF2, FF7) and save DWG/DXF at a chosen version (FF3).
|
||
≈ 30–45 h.
|
||
3. **A real-file corpus** and a check of our output in AutoCAD (FF5, needs the owner).
|
||
4. **Precision input:** object snap tracking, extension/parallel snaps, FROM/M2P/TK, typed snap
|
||
overrides, editable dynamic input (U1–U4). ≈ 25–35 h.
|
||
5. **Unstub the prompt options** of the most-used commands (F1). ≈ 15–25 h.
|
||
6. **Autosave, recovery, AUDIT, RECOVER** (F4). ≈ 10–15 h.
|
||
7. **The rest of the alpha gate:** block editor and REFEDIT, xref attach (F2, F3), and plot styles
|
||
with a plot dialog and preview (F14). ≈ 50–80 h.
|
||
|
||
Items 2–5 and 7 are the [alpha gate](#alpha-gate) rows.
|
||
|
||
## Alpha gate
|
||
|
||
The core workflows a typical AutoCAD professional does every day (craftrules progress-docs
|
||
standard). CADCraft is **pre-alpha** because four of the five fail the gate; the failing rows are
|
||
the alpha checklist. Main platform: macOS.
|
||
|
||
| Core workflow | Works end to end? | Evidence | Hours to pass |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Draw and modify precisely with object snaps and tracking | **partial, blocking** | Running snaps, polar, ortho and coordinate entry work; object snap tracking, extension and parallel snaps are toggles with no behaviour; no FROM/M2P/TK or typed snap overrides; TRIM/EXTEND standard mode, OFFSET Erase/Layer/Multiple, ROTATE Reference print "not available yet"; ellipse/spline intersections approximate ([ui-parity.md](ui-parity.md), [gaps.md](gaps.md) U1, U3, U4, F1) | 35–50 |
|
||
| Dimension and annotate | partial, not blocking | All core DIM types, associativity, DIMSTYLE variables (43 of ~80), TEXT/MTEXT, MLEADER, tables work; no DIMSTYLE dialog, MTEXT editor not in place, MLEADER thin (F7, F9, F10). A drafter can dimension a sheet end to end | 0 for the gate (beta work) |
|
||
| Use blocks (insert library blocks, edit them, attributes, xrefs) | **partial, blocking** | Static BLOCK/INSERT/attributes, ATTSYNC, BATTMAN editing, xrefs (#525) and the Block Editor (BEDIT/BSAVE/BCLOSE: every reference updates) work; no REFEDIT, so a block can't be edited in place in the drawing; no XCLIP; dynamic blocks from other drawings lose their behaviour (F2, F3) | 35–55 |
|
||
| Layers, layouts and plotting a sheet | **partial, blocking** | Layers, layouts, viewports, page setups, PDF output, plot styles (CTB/STB, #410), the Plot dialog (#160), Plot Preview and PUBLISH (#186) and plotter devices (#564) work; printers only via PDF/PNG/SVG files (F14, H3) | 15–25 |
|
||
| Save DWG that AutoCAD opens without loss, and reopen others' DWGs | **no** | DXF keeps what we don't model (#528) and writes native MULTILEADERs (#459, not yet tested through DWG); through DWG, acadrust drops custom-class entities and objects and some foreign data; never checked in AutoCAD; no real-file tests; a 10 MB DWG failed after ~2 min (#57) (FF1–FF6) | 40–60 + owner (real-file corpus, AutoCAD check) |
|
||
| **To alpha** | | | **≈ 125–190** |
|
||
|
||
Ready for real work is ≈ 38%, also under the ~40% alpha bar; closing the gate rows lifts it past
|
||
40%.
|
||
|
||
## Beta checklist
|
||
|
||
Beta means: close to feature complete for mainstream 2D work, opens and saves DWG reliably,
|
||
remaining gaps are known bugs and edge features (≈ 75% ready for real work).
|
||
|
||
| Item | State | Est. |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| DWG/DXF: nothing lost on save; MULTILEADER native; version choice; code pages; real-file corpus green; verified in AutoCAD | not started | 50–75 |
|
||
| 2D geometry exact for ellipses and splines; polyline offset correct; relative tolerances | not started | 50–80 |
|
||
| Precision input at AutoCAD level (tracking, dynamic input, overrides, point modifiers, grips, selection keywords, context menus) | partial | 90–140 |
|
||
| Every Draw/Modify prompt option works; associative arrays | partial | 40–60 |
|
||
| Annotation depth: DIMSTYLE manager and variables, missing DIM commands, in-place MTEXT, fields, MLEADER editing, annotative scaling, tables | partial | 90–130 |
|
||
| Xrefs, block editor, dynamic blocks, groups, attribute tools | not started | 90–135 |
|
||
| Plot styles, plot preview, PUBLISH, non-rectangular viewports | partial | 30–45 |
|
||
| Autosave, recovery, AUDIT/RECOVER, Options dialog, templates, SHX, user `.lin`/`.pat` | partial | 40–60 |
|
||
| AutoLISP core subset and SCRIPT | done (AutoLISP #758, SCRIPT #693); Visual LISP, DCL and reactors to come | 30–50 |
|
||
| Catalog plus AutoCAD for Mac's languages | not started | 30–45 |
|
||
| Stability: CI gate, issue backlog, command smoke sweep, geometry fuzzing | partial | 30–50 |
|
||
| Platforms: web open/save, Windows/Linux runtime checks; performance at 1M entities and large DWG | partial | 20–35 |
|
||
| **Total to beta** | | **≈ 600–930** |
|
||
|
||
About 70% of this parallelises across 4–6 agents (one per row), so elapsed time is roughly
|
||
150–250 hours.
|
||
|
||
## Milestones
|
||
|
||
Status re-scored on 2026-10-10 by depth, not presence (the 2026-10-07 percentages, reported by the
|
||
agents that built each milestone, are in the progress log of [ROADMAP.md](../ROADMAP.md)).
|
||
|
||
| # | Milestone | Status | Remaining (h) |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| M0 | Skeleton and vertical slice: workspace, AutoCAD-style UI, command line, draw/modify basics, DXF, CLI, MCP, web | done | — |
|
||
| M1 | Drafting core: every 2D Draw command and option, dynamic input, object snap tracking, snap overrides | ≈ 55% (Draw breadth strong; tracking, dynamic input, overrides missing) | 35–55 |
|
||
| M2 | Modify: grips, PEDIT, SPLINEDIT, LENGTHEN, BLEND, ALIGN, associative arrays, trim/extend for all curves, MATCHPROP UI | ≈ 50% | 45–70 |
|
||
| M3 | Layers and properties | ≈ 70% (open layer bugs #71–#75, #87) | 10–15 |
|
||
| M4 | Annotation: DIM*, DIMSTYLE manager, MLEADER, in-place MTEXT, fields, tables, annotative scaling, SHX | ≈ 40% | 90–130 |
|
||
| M5 | Hatch and blocks: hatch depth, block editor, dynamic blocks, xrefs, groups, attributes | ≈ 30% | 105–160 |
|
||
| M6 | Layouts and plotting: viewports, page setups, plot styles, preview, PUBLISH | ≈ 35% | 35–50 |
|
||
| M7 | Files: DWG/DXF fidelity and versions, RECOVER/AUDIT, templates, autosave, ETRANSMIT, underlays | ≈ 30% | 170–280 (incl. other formats) |
|
||
| M8 | Inquiry and utilities, OPTIONS, customisation | ≈ 25% | 45–70 |
|
||
| M9 | Parametric | ≈ 50% | 20–30 |
|
||
| M10 | Performance: 1M entities at 60 fps, large DWG loads | ≈ 60% (internal numbers only) | 20–40 |
|
||
| M11 | 3D: UCS, orbit, visual styles, solids, surfaces, meshes, sections, rendering | ≈ 2% | 300–450 |
|
||
| M12 | Automation: AutoLISP, SCRIPT, action recorder, sheet sets, Express Tools | ≈ 15% (MCP, CLI, control channel done) | 130–220 |
|
||
| M13 | 1.0 polish: preferences, workspaces, localisation, accessibility, signed packages, docs | ≈ 15% (signed packages for every platform exist; themes done; string catalog with Ukrainian and German, live language switching, #36) | 110–170 |
|
||
| — | Geometry precision (cross-cutting, see [geometry-parity.md](geometry-parity.md)) | ≈ 40% | 70–110 |
|
||
| — | AI features | ≈ 0% in-app | 40–80 |
|
||
| | **Remaining to full parity** | | **≈ 1,300–2,100** |
|
||
|
||
Milestone rows overlap a little with the cross-cutting rows; the total is the dimension sum in
|
||
[target-app-parity.md](target-app-parity.md), not the column sum.
|
||
|
||
## After beta
|
||
|
||
3D foundations (UCS, 3D views, orbit, then solids per `plan/adr/0001`), sheet sets, the full
|
||
AutoLISP surface, AI features with openly licensed local models, and every remaining language.
|
||
