Perspective Grid Options gets the two Automatic Plane Positioning
checkboxes, Anchor Point of Perspective Artwork and Intersection of
Gridlines. With the Perspective Selection tool, Shift held over an
anchor point of art in perspective, or over a gridline intersection,
with no button down, moves the active plane through that point and
hides the other planes. A plane made active then passes through the
same point. The plane goes back to its place once an object is drawn
on it or attached to it, when the grid hides or no plane is active,
when the file is opened again, and with Escape.
- perspective.plane.infer {at?, tolerance?, clear?} positions, reads
and clears the held point, which is view state, not an undo step.
- perspective.widget.options takes anchorPoint and gridlineIntersection,
both on by default and kept with the preferences.
- perspective.plane.move moves a held plane from where it is held.
A visible, unlocked Live Paint face or edge whose own opacity is 0 draws
nothing, as Expand and the edge stroke check already treat it, but the
Shape Builder still took it as an input. It now leaves such faces and
edges out; hidden and locked parts keep their current handling.
Consider Open Filled Paths as Closed decided whether an open path was
filled from its top fill row only. A path whose top fill is None over a
painted lower fill stayed open, and one whose only painted fill was
hidden or at 0% opacity closed. The region map, merge inputs and the
Clicking Stroke Splits the Path cut now use Appearance::has_drawn_fill,
so any shown, painted fill row above 0% opacity counts, as the canvas
paints it.
The Shape Builder's Live Paint face and edge filters had the same
top-row check; they now use has_drawn_fill and has_drawn_stroke, so a
face or edge is taken when one of its rows draws.
brush.freehand drew the plain path when `brush` named no brush in the
document or was not a string, and drew a pencil stroke for any `style`
other than "brush". It now refuses an unknown name with "no brush named
`<name>`", as brush.apply and brush.setCurrent do, a `brush` that is not
a string, and a `style` other than "pencil" or "brush". The document does
not change and no undo step is recorded. A `brush` left out or null still
draws the plain path.
The Paintbrush skips a tool brush or current brush that has been deleted
and paints with the other, or draws the plain path when neither is in the
document, so a stroke after a brush is deleted is not refused.
With Smart Guides on, a selection the Selection tool grabbed by one of
its anchors only landed that anchor on other anchors and centers, or
lined its bounds up. The anchor now also lands on the other objects'
paths ("path"), and where a path crosses another path or a ruler guide
("intersect"), in the order Direct Selection uses for a dragged anchor.
When the anchor lands on a path, the bounds do not also line up with
other objects, and a ruler guide nearby does not pull it off the path.
A selection grabbed anywhere else keeps lining its bounds up.
- Targets::for_move_by_anchor gathers the other art's path segments as
well, and Targets::snap_onto_path lands a point on them or on their
crossings with each other and with the ruler guides.
- MoveSnap::by_anchor uses those targets; the Selection tool picks it
when the press grabbed an anchor.

Finding where the Rotate All, Space, Move All and Select/Move widgets
go and testing whether the pointer is over one flattened the group's
path two to three times per widget. Starting a Space, Move All or
Select/Move drag flattened it five times, and one pointer move over the
group could flatten it eleven times. Each lookup now flattens the path
once and shares that measurement across the widgets:
- vectorcraft-doc makes `Measured` public with `stop` and `stops`, and
adds `attachable`, which returns the path with its measurement.
- `Widgets::of` gives all four widgets for the canvas, `widget_at` gives
the widget under the pointer, and `WidgetDrag::hit` gives the drag a
press starts, each from one flattening. The Selection and Objects on
Path tools and the canvas use them.
- A Space, Move All or Select/Move drag keeps its measurement and
measures again only when the group's path changes.
Widget places, hits, cursors and drag results are unchanged. The new
`spine-count` feature of vectorcraft-doc exposes the flattening counter
to vectorcraft-tools' tests; it is enabled only as a dev-dependency and
leaves Cargo.lock unchanged.
A gradient vector drawn on the art, a click that applies one, and the
dragged start and end handles snapped through snap_draw, which gathers
the bounds and anchors of the art only. Path segments, View › Snap to
Glyph's guides and the construction guides through the vector's start
did not pull them, and a click applied the gradient from the pointer
rather than from the snapped point. They now snap through DrawSnap, as
the Pen and Line Segment tools do:
- The press gathers the targets, for a vector drawn on the art and the
start and end handles only, and the drag keeps them. A click applies
the gradient from the snapped press.
- A dragged end or handle leaves its start as a Line Segment's end does:
it lands on the construction guides through the start, and with Shift
it keeps to 45° steps from the Constrain Angle and snaps along them.
- The pointer hovering where a press would draw a vector (anywhere with
art selected, over art with nothing selected), and not over the
annotator, shows the guides of the point the vector would start on.
A press that snaps onto a nearby target no longer starts the drag
early: the 3 px drag threshold counts from where the pointer was
pressed, not from the snapped start.
With Smart Guides on, the Dimension tool's second point snapped onto the
construction guides through the first point (Smart Guides › Construction
Guides), so a click beside a segment straight below a first point that
was not on an anchor stayed on the vertical guide instead of landing on
the segment.
The second point now has no construction guides through a first point
that is not on an anchor. After a first point picked on an anchor, the
construction guides through it still apply. The second point still snaps
to anchors, centers and alignment lines, and with Snap to Perpendicular
or Snap to Tangent on it lands where the line from the first point meets
a segment square or grazes a curve.

Dragging out a dimension from a segment (Linear) or a corner (Angular)
drew its first preview frame at the wrong distance. The preview placed
the dimension at the pointer before reading the segment's end points or
the corner from the art, and measured the offset from the placeholder
points the dimension starts with. A drag from the top edge of a
rectangle to 40 pt above it showed an offset of 60 instead of -40.
The preview now clears the offset, reads the art's points, places the
dimension at the pointer and checks the result. Clearing the offset
keeps an out-of-range offset from the last pointer position from
failing the read.
Tests: the segment and corner drag-out tests fail without the change.
placement_recovers_after_a_position_out_of_range also passes on main;
it fails when only the offset clear is removed.
Changing Preferences › Hyphenation › Exceptions bumped each open
document's revision, but the caches of laid-out type outside the text
crate were keyed on the font generation alone. The renderer kept the
glyph geometry, raster-effect pixels, live-effect and envelope art,
pattern tiles and placed symbol art of unchanged type objects, so
hyphenated area type kept its old line breaks on the canvas. The
hit-test art of blends and envelopes, the Fit to Artwork Bounds answer,
the layout caches of the Type and Touch Type tools and the out port's
overflow mark were keyed the same way.
vectorcraft_text::layout_inputs() returns a number that changes with
the fonts and with the hyphenation exceptions. Every one of those
caches now keys on it instead of FontDb::generation(), and envelope ink
uses it in place of the private envelope_ink_inputs(). The hit-test key
hashes it together with the plug-in revision.
Tests: a renderer that drew hyphenated area type, alone, with a drop
shadow, in a group with a Transform effect, in a symbol instance and in
an envelope, draws it as a new renderer does after the exceptions
change; the out port of selected area type shows the overflow that the
new exceptions cause. The render test helpers that run a step again
when the fonts change during it now also run it again when the
exceptions change.
The Parametric Shape tool's center and the Slice tool's corners snapped
with Smart Guides to the bounds of the art only, so View › Snap to Glyph
had no effect on them, and neither did the anchors and segments of
paths that the other drawing tools snap to. The point dragged out from a
Parametric Shape's center did not snap at all, and neither tool showed
Smart Guides while hovering before a press.
Both tools now snap through the drawing tools' shared snapping
(DrawSnap). A Parametric Shape's center (from a drag or a double-click),
the point dragged out from it, and a slice's corners land on glyph
guides and on path anchors and segments. The guides show while hovering
and during the drag. When a ruler guide then takes a slice corner, the
Smart Guides are no longer shown. A click with the Parametric Shape tool
still draws nothing when its center snaps a few pixels from the pointer.

The Shape Builder had no hover_ended, so when the pointer left the canvas
(for a panel, out of the window, under a menu or dialog), the region or
stroke highlight and the Cursor Swatch Preview chips stayed where the
pointer was last seen. A map of a large selection that arrived afterwards
also highlighted the region under that old point again. When the hover
ends, the tool now drops the highlight, the stroke a click would split and
the preview, and forgets the point.
The Live Paint Selection tool had the same gap: its face or edge
highlight now goes too.
- After a fill drag, the Live Paint Bucket stores the release point, so the
cursor swatch preview shows there instead of where the pointer last moved
before the press.
- Arrow nudges and Alt+arrow type spacing read Shift and Alt from the key
press, as the tool keys do, so a modifier released within the same frame
still makes a 10 pt nudge, a copy, or a spacing step.
- tool.setOption accepts cursorSwatchPreview for the Live Paint Bucket and
refuses a value that is not true or false.
The Pencil's and the Paintbrush's new-path, continue, close and straight-line
cursors are drawn on the crosshair already; Precise Cursors no longer turns
them into the plain crosshair, so the badge still says what the press or the
release does.
A double-click with the Live Paint Selection tool on a face now selects
that face and the faces of its group that no stroked edge parts from it:
the selection floods across edges that are hidden or draw no stroke, and
hidden faces are left out. On an edge (Alt-double-click, or a
double-click with Select Fills off) it selects the edge and the edges of
its group joined to it end to end that draw with the same stroke paint.
With Shift held, the faces or edges reached leave the selection or join
it. The tool options, locks and isolation mode apply as they do to a
click.
The reach is computed by two read-only functions in the builder lookup
module, flood_faces and connected_edges, so the Live Paint commands can
use the same rules. An edge's stroke paint is the paint of its topmost
stroke that draws. Face outlines are matched to edges within the planar
map's precision, and edges join only at the ends of their subpaths.
