ISO 1302:2002's seven transcribed symbol-proportion rows (text height ->
line width d', short-leg height H1, minimum height H2) drive the 60 deg
vee, the machining-required bar at H1, the machining-prohibited circle
inscribed in the vee, and the all-around circle at the kink; the Ra/Rz
values, the process, the lay symbol and the machining allowance land
around the extension line, which grows with the widest of them. A text
height outside the seven rows is refused by name rather than
interpolated, and ISO 1302 is accepted as an alias designation for
drawings still issued under it - the graphical symbol is the same one.
ISO 2553:2019's reference line, dashed identification line (omitted for a
symmetrical weld, as the standard permits), size written before the
symbol, length and pitch written after it, field-weld flag, all-around
circle and process tail. Six elementary symbols are transcribed - square,
single-V, single-bevel, single-U, single-J, fillet. The rest of the
elementary table is deliberately not shipped: a weld kind outside the six
is refused with the list of the six, because a guessed weld symbol is a
wrong instruction to a welder.
Both tools place the symbol on a plain leader - a line plus an arrowhead
with the proportions the backend's own mleader already draws - rather
than through leader_create_mleader, which refuses empty text and would
hang an MTEXT label off every symbol.
Proportions neither standard dimensions (the all-around circles, the
flag, the identification line's dashes, the text pitch and the character
width estimate) are named constants documented as this implementation's
declared choices, never as transcribed values.
No new ActiveX member is called: both tools compose LINE / ARC / CIRCLE /
LWPOLYLINE / TEXT through the entity-creation contracts both engines
already implement, so no live COM probe was needed.

Task 24 (merge sanity) on main after the five track E groups merged.
- TOOL_PACK_NAMES = ("core", "pid", "settings"); PACK_TOOL_NAMES["settings"]
is exactly the 22 SECTION 20 tools. Styles and page setup stay in core.
- LEAN_TOOL_NAMES += page_setup_apply, batch_plot (53 -> 55).
- _GROUP_TAG_PRIORITY / _GROUP_TAG_LABELS: "style" moved up next to "pid",
"pagesetup" -> page_setup and "environment" -> environment added; the 28
SECTION 19/20 decorators gain their section tag, so _tool_groups() reports
styles 10 / page_setup 6 / environment 22 (23 groups, 204 tools) and
pack == group == section for the settings pack.
- SECTION headers, backends/base.py composition, contracts/__init__.py
exports and the layer_states feature entry were already correct after the
merge (read and confirmed, nothing edited).
- Pack text: config.py, .env.example, README config row; README <sub> line
204 tools in 23 groups; release snapshot 3259 collected tests (measured).
- docs/tool-inventory.json regenerated; registry snapshot re-derived.
- tests: test_tool_packs.py replaced (11 tests), test_capability_contract.py
+3 (composition, the agreed capability flags, layer_states honesty),
golden set +10 tuning cases (81 = 66 tuning + 15 holdout); all ten route
in the top 3 without alias edits.
Deviation from the plan text: TRACK_E_KEYS carries five keys, not six. The
plan's "mleaderstyle" (ezdxf True / com False) contradicts spec §8.1, which
retracted that key because the ActiveX route exists (§4.2); measured on the
tree: capability_keys() == {boundary_trace, chspace, interactive_prompt,
live_application, preferences, revcloud, wipeout}, and
ComBackend.mleaderstyle_create is a native implementation
(backends/com_backend.py:6752, is_capability_default -> False). The test now
also asserts the key is absent.
No new ActiveX call was written in this task, so no live probe was needed.

Live AutoCAD writes a real .dwt through SaveAs(path, ac2018_Template = 66) and
puts the description into the summary Comments; headlessly a .dxf template is
written through drawing_save_as and a .dwt request is refused with capability
dwt_write, naming the DXF route and the COM route. drawing_save_as's "dwt"
entry was 5 (acR13_dxf): a DWT request wrote an R13 DXF under a .dwt name.
Probed live on AutoCAD 2026 (typelib: ac2018_Template = 66, acR13_dxf = 5,
acTemplateDwg absent; the saved file starts AC1032, the document is rebound,
Comments takes). SECTION 19 is now 6 tools; SAVEAS joins SHARED_ACAD_COMMANDS;
templates/README.md documents the two files per template.

SECTION 19 grows to five tools with drawing_template_list; drawing_new takes a
bundled name (iso_a3_mech, iso_a1_arch, iso_a3_pid, ansi_b_mech, ansi_d_arch)
or a .dwt/.dxf path and reports template: {name|path, path, source}.
scripts/build_templates.py builds templates/*.dxf through EzdxfBackend
(layer set, header DIM variables until group S's styles land, drawing_settings,
sheet tab, ISO 5457 frame on A3, page_setup_apply) and --check pins them
reproducible. One drift the plan's same-process measurement could not see is
fixed at the source rather than masked: ezdxf orders CLASSES by set iteration,
so two processes disagreed on LAYOUT / ACDBPLACEHOLDER; the section is re-keyed
(required list first, then by name) before the save.
The root .gitignore ignores *.dxf as generated output; templates/*.dxf is
un-ignored there, since the bundled set is the one DXF that is committed.

user_pick_point / user_select answer {cancelled: true} on ESC (DISP_E_EXCEPTION)
and {timed_out: true} past COM_CALL_TIMEOUT; preferences_set refuses read-only,
unknown and out-of-range keys before any ActiveX call.
The read-only key is Files.PrinterStyleSheetPath, not the spec's
PrintStyleSheetPath: IAcadPreferencesFiles has no member of that name
(measured live on AutoCAD 2026 / R25.1), and a misspelt key would make
preferences_get() raise on every live call.

Summary fields are refused headlessly with capability dwgprops before any
write; custom properties are $CUSTOMPROPERTYTAG/$CUSTOMPROPERTY pairs and
survive save + reopen. Validation is shared, by name, and never str()-coerces.

Layer states are ACADMCP_LAYERSTATES XRECORD chunks (<= 255 ASCII chars each),
in the file and not in AutoCAD's Layer States Manager. Headless view restore
writes the *Active VPORT (ezdxf's header has no $VIEWCTR; measured). UCS is
stored and made current; tool coordinates stay WCS.

Three defects found after 1.5.0 reached PyPI, two of them by the adversarial
pass over the rewritten README.
The HTTP bind guard failed open on the launch path it was written for.
`_guarded_run_async` read the bind address from the `host` kwarg and treated an
absent one as loopback. It is not: `fastmcp run` forwards that kwarg only when
`--host` was passed, and fastmcp otherwise resolves the host from
`fastmcp.settings.host`, which is environment-backed. So
FASTMCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 fastmcp run server.py:mcp --transport http
bound every interface -- 149 tools including file open/save and AutoCAD command
execution, no token -- while the guard inspected the literal "127.0.0.1" and
waved it through. v1.4.0's changelog claimed this guard "fires on every launch
path"; it fired, and looked at the wrong host. It now resolves the effective
host, and warns rather than staying silent if it cannot.
`[com]` and `[full]` could not be installed off Windows. Both listed
`pywin32>=306` with no environment marker, and pywin32 publishes Windows wheels
and no sdist, so `pip install autocad-mcp-pro[full]` died at resolution on
Linux and macOS -- and `[full]` is the extra the README recommended to
contributors. CI never caught it because every Linux lane installs `[pdf]` or
syncs from uv.lock, whose resolution markers hide the gap. Both entries carry
`; sys_platform == "win32"` now, with a release-consistency test to keep them.
`drawing_settings({"dimscale": ...})` reported success and changed nothing
headlessly. It writes `$DIMSCALE`, which is what AutoCAD reads when it draws a
dimension, so the call worked on COM; ezdxf renders from the dimstyle table
entry and never consults the header. One call, one reported success, two
different drawings. The header value now folds into the per-dimension override
on all five dimension tools -- including `dimension_aligned` and
`dimension_angular`, which do not share the tolerance-override path and the
obvious fix would have missed. DIMSCALE 1.0 writes nothing.
README: every engine-conditional family in the feature table now says which
engine (boundary tracing, WIPEOUT/REVCLOUD/MTEXT masks, CHSPACE, typed hatch
edge paths, headless undo), and the checkout install line stopped recommending
an extra that could not resolve on the reader's platform.
1257 passed, 1 xfailed. 1.5.0 is to be yanked: its diameter and radius callouts
put wrong numbers on drawings at default settings.

Tool count 131 -> 154; 474 -> 1242 collected tests.
The release exists for two measured reasons. A 149-tool catalog costs a client
~40,300 tokens before it has asked for anything, and a drafter searching the way
drafters think -- FILLET, BPOLY, QSELECT, WBLOCK -- scored df=0 against the stock
index, because those words were simply not in the data.
Discovery and batching
- DISCOVERY_MODE=search replaces the catalog with search_tools + call_tool,
ranked over an AutoCAD command and synonym corpus (discovery/aliases.py) on
top of fastmcp's BM25 index. Measured: 40,305 -> 356 tokens advertised.
- cad_batch runs a step list in one round trip; fields= projects result-heavy
responses. The `core` profile is gone -- discovery replaced it.
Honesty debt (Tier 0)
- OCS/ECS: `extrusion` appeared nowhere in this codebase, so mirrored and
rotated geometry reported coordinates that were quietly wrong. backends/ocs.py
translates at the backend boundary; every tool coordinate is WCS on both
engines, and a tilted plane refuses rather than answering with a number that
looks fine.
- drawing_save_as(fmt="dwg") wrote DXF bytes to a .dwg path. drawing_audit never
repaired. analysis_measure_area shoelaced points the caller typed in.
- ezdxf calls gained a per-call timeout, so one hung call can no longer wedge a
server whose document lock is a single asyncio.Lock.
Architecture
- The 1854-line backend ABC is 19 contract modules; @capability(key, reason=)
makes optional methods declarative and a gate fails on undeclared holes.
- 8 layout/viewport tools, CHSPACE, CAD_PROGID escape hatch.
- Wave A: selection filters, boundary tracing, hatch depth, annotation objects,
measurement -- 13 tools of a planned 39. The REGION and 2D-boolean family was
cut on evidence: add_region() yields zero ACIS bytes and the greiner_hormann
substitute loses 28.2% of the area on a square with one semicircular edge.
Verified against a live AutoCAD 2026, which found four COM defects no amount of
reading would have caught -- AcadPViewport has no ViewCenter, and the line that
set it had been swallowed by a bare except since v1.4.
Benchmark v3 (15 tasks) and what it caught
- v2 scored this server 10/10, which carried no information: every task in it
exercised something the server was built around. Five tasks were added because
they can fail, and three did while being written -- a hatch could not be
measured though the refusal listed HATCH as measurable, the boundary tools and
the measure tool disagreed about the same shape (139.2177 vs 139.2699), and a
circle stored as two bulged vertices measured 0.0.
- Competitor reports are NOT re-scored. They are pinned v1.4 runs against v2 and
were never asked these five questions; the chart shows those rows `not run`.
- Correctness A/B: 21/24 -> 24/24, zero regressions.
Performance, stated plainly
The published v1.4 perf report was recorded on CPython 3.14 and the new one on
3.11.15, so the apparent 2-6x speedup is the interpreter, not this release.
Re-measured on one interpreter, v1.5.0 is 28% slower creating entities and 22%
slower on the 10k roundtrip. Fully attributed: EZDXF_CALL_TIMEOUT=0 restores
v1.4.0's exact numbers. That is the deadlock fix being paid for, the knob is
documented, and winning it back is on the 1.6 roadmap.
