Six tests cover the Direct Selection marquee (anchors and crossed segments), its pointer and anchor highlight, and the Group Selection click, repeated click, marquee (default and E for enclosed objects) and hover over a drop shadow: they reach the object under the shadow or nothing. The selection passes-through line in docs/target-app-parity.md names these gestures.
Effect › 3D and Materials › 3D (Classic) › Rotate (Classic)… turns every
fill and stroke as one flat plane, as Rotate does, and shades it with the
classic No Shading or Diffuse surface.
- `effect.apply` with `threeD.classicRotate`: the Position rotation and
Perspective, `surface` (`none` or `diffuse`), the classic lights,
Ambient Light, Blend Steps and Shading Color. It has no highlight, no
Draw Hidden Faces and no shadow.
- The dialog shows Position on the Rotation tab and the surface and
lights on the Lighting tab, with no Object tab.
- Groups and layers turn about one shared center, and the effect also
goes on a fill or stroke, as Rotate's does.
- `effect.lightingPreset` refuses it, as it refuses the other classic
3D effects.
- Unknown parameters, numbers out of range, bad flags, a surface other
than No Shading or Diffuse and bad shading colors are refused with an
error.
Effect › 3D and Materials › 3D (Classic) › Revolve (Classic)… sweeps the
profile round a vertical axis, as Revolve does, and draws every face with
the Wireframe, No Shading, Diffuse and Plastic surfaces of Extrude & Bevel
(Classic).
- `effect.apply` with `threeD.classicRevolve`: Angle (0 to 360), Cap,
Offset (0 to 1000 pt) from the left or right edge of the profile's
bounds, the Position rotation and Perspective, and the classic lights,
Ambient Light, highlight, Blend Steps and Shading Color.
- Groups and layers revolve about one shared axis, and the effect also
goes on a fill or stroke, as Revolve's does.
- `effect.lightingPreset` refuses it, as it refuses Extrude & Bevel
(Classic).
- Revolve faces carry their view-space normal, and
`three_d::revolve_facets` hands them to the classic surface code.
- Unknown parameters, numbers out of range and bad flags, edges,
surfaces and colors are refused with an error.
Paragraph Style Options and New Paragraph Style gain a Tabs section. It
lists the style's stops and edits the selected stop's Alignment, position
(X:, or Y: for vertical type), Leader and Align On character. Add puts a
left stop 36 pt past the furthest one, Delete Tab removes the selected
stop, and Clear All Tabs leaves the style with no stops. OK sorts the
stops by position and keeps the stop edited last when two share one
position. Reset Panel removes the style's tabs.
paraStyle.new, paraStyle.setAttrs and paraStyle.edit check changed tabs
stop by stop: at most 256 stops, and each changed stop's position from 0
to 100000 pt and leader of at most 8 characters. Stops the style already
has are kept as they are. Changed tabs are sorted by position, keeping
the first of stops at one position. text.tabs.set rejects a leader longer
than 8 characters, an Align On value of more than one character and more
than 256 stops. Loading paragraph styles skips a style whose indents,
spacing, hyphenation, justification or tabs are out of range.

effect.deferredStatus lists a stage in the art of a symbol, pattern, brush
or opacity mask by the id of the object in that art. effect.refreshDeferred
took such an id only while the object still had a deferred stage; an
existing object there without one was refused as no such object, while a
layer object without a stage was accepted. An id is now valid when it names
an object in the layers or in that art, an object without a stage adds
nothing to the counts, and an id of no object is an error.
The params text and docs/mcp.md said `id` names one object, but the params
text did not list the key, so `{id: N}` was refused as an unknown
parameter. It is now `{ids?|id?}`, and the command checks only the form of
the ids before it looks them up itself.
The requested ids are held in a set while the art is walked, and only those
with a stage are handed to the refresh.
- ui.dock's move takes a hidden panel's shown id in target, as the other
docking destinations do.
- Shortcut overrides keyed panel:<panel id>, saved and in an open
Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, show the panel id shown for a library
outside the read roots, also when nothing else refers to it.
- Outside Windows, a native path is matched only as written: a sent
/out/weird/name.svg no longer renames a hidden library at
/out/weird\name.svg, and a reply does not read one as a spelling of the
other. Windows paths are still matched with either separator.
The zero point dragged out of the box where the rulers meet snaps as a
Pen or shape tool's point does: with Smart Guides onto the anchors,
centres, edges and paths of the art and the artboards or into line with
them, with Snap to Point onto the anchors and along the ruler guides,
else onto whole pixels or the grid. The guides showing what it snapped
to show during the drag and go when it is released or cancelled
(Escape, focus loss, another document). The origin is still set once,
on release (document.setRulerOrigin, one undo step).
The engine snaps it (Session::ruler_origin_drag, with the tools crate's
rulerguide::OriginDrag over PointSnap::drawn), as it does a guide
dragged out of a ruler.
Under --automation-read-root, prefs.get, prefs.list, prefs.set and
prefs.reset returned the folder preferences (fontsFolder, pluginsFolder,
scratchPrimary, scratchSecondary, recoveryFolder, templatesFolder) and
the export presets' folder even when they were outside the read roots.
Such a folder preference is now null, as ui.inspect leaves it out, and
such a preset's folder is left out. An empty folder and the scratch disk
choices stay; without roots the replies are unchanged.
Art Alt-dragged (Option-dragged on macOS) from the canvas onto a
scatter, art or pattern brush in the Brushes panel becomes its art
(brush.replaceArt). When strokes use the brush, the app checks the art
first, then a dialog offers Apply to Strokes, which redraws them with
the new art, Leave Strokes, which keeps the brush and its strokes as
they were and adds "<name> copy" with the new art as the current brush,
and Cancel. Each change is one undo step.
A pattern brush takes back the tile groups brush.placeArt places, frames
included, and takes other art as its side tile. Calligraphic and
bristle brushes, an empty selection and art with no width are refused.
Art Alt-dragged off the canvas now reaches the panels as the art the
drag started with. Before, the panels got the ids of the copy the drag
previews, which no longer exist once the release over a panel ends the
move.
brush.new now also measures a symbol instance in the selected art by its
symbol's art when it checks that the art has width.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A scatter, art or pattern brush dragged from the Brushes panel onto an
empty part of the canvas places a copy of its art there to edit,
centered where it is dropped (brush.placeArt). Dropped on a path, a
brush is still applied to it. A pattern brush is placed as its tiles in
a row, 10 pt apart, each in a group named for its tile, with an
unpainted rectangle at the back of a tile that has a repeat frame.
Calligraphic and bristle brushes have no art and are refused. A symbol
instance in the art is measured by its symbol's art.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A filled open path wrote its outline as an open polyline, so with fill
hatches left out (and in R12, and in CNC / CAM) the area lost its closing
edge. Fill outlines now close each open subpath that can enclose an area;
strokes of the same path stay open.
document.exportForScreens without a folder writes into the folder its
exportPreset keeps. When that folder is outside the client's read roots
and the export fails, for example because the folder is also outside the
write roots, the error now names the folder by its name, as the reply of
a successful export leaves it out. A granted root in the same message
stays whole, and a folder the client gives stays whole in the error.
