Clicks on the command line's history, the UCS icon and the ViewCube ring fell through to the drawing (picking objects or starting a selection window, or entering a point during a command), the chevron did nothing, and the wheel over the overlays zoomed the drawing. The ViewCube's Top face was a click-only widget, so the canvas still counted as hovered underneath it (crosshair, wheel). - Every overlay now registers a widget that senses clicks and drags, so egui hands the pointer to the overlay instead of the canvas. - Command line: a click on the history lines or the chevron (now pointing up) opens a scrollable history window with the whole log; F2 and TEXTSCR open it too (`ui.toggle.history`, Window > Command History). Dragging the history's top edge sets how many lines show (`ui.cmdline.lines`, 0-12). - ViewCube (new viewcube.rs): Top face and a Home button run `zoom.extents`; hover highlights; right-click menu (Home, Hide ViewCube). The compass ring says that the 2D plan view can't rotate (no view twist yet) instead of doing nothing. - UCS icon and the WCS pill open the coordinate-system menu (World, Hide UCS Icon). - Control channel: `ui.drag` (real press, move, release) and `cmdline.state` -> `historyExpanded`.

CADCraft control protocol
Start the desktop app with --control PORT (or CADCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT=PORT). It listens on
127.0.0.1:PORT for JSON lines: one request per line, one reply per line.
{"id": 1, "method": "cmdline.input", "params": {"text": "circle 0,0 5"}}
{"id": 1, "ok": true, "result": {"prompt": "Command:", "output": ["Command: CIRCLE"], ...}}
Errors come back as {"id": …, "ok": false, "error": "message"}.
| Method | Params | What it does |
|---|---|---|
cmdline.input |
{text} |
Type a line at the command line exactly like a user. Starts commands by name/alias and answers prompts (points x,y, @dx,dy, @d<a, distances, keywords, empty = Enter). Spaces act as Enter except at text prompts. |
cmdline.script |
{text} |
Run a multi-line script (like .scr files). |
cmdline.key |
{key: "enter"|"escape"} |
Press Enter or Escape. |
cmdline.state |
Current prompt, keywords, accepted input kinds, history tail. | |
engine.execute |
{command, params} |
Run any command with JSON parameters. Never opens a dialog. |
engine.commands |
Every command: id, label, menu path, shortcut, aliases, params doc, enabled. | |
drawing.inspect |
{entities?, limit?} |
Drawing summary (counts, extents, layers, styles, blocks, layouts, selection, undo) and entities with handles and geometry. |
ui.inspect |
UI state, canvas rect, view, cursor and snap, performance counters. | |
ui.menu.list / ui.menu.invoke |
{command} |
The menu tree; invoke an item like a click (interactive). |
ui.pointer |
{x, y, space?: "world"|"screen", button?, action?: "click"|"move"} |
Click in the drawing area (world coordinates by default). Right button = Enter. |
ui.click / ui.move |
{x, y, button?, shift?} |
Real egui pointer events in screen points (reach every widget). |
ui.drag |
{x, y, to: [x, y], button?} |
Real press, move and release (drag the command line's top edge, the ViewCube ring…). |
ui.key / ui.text |
{key, cmd?, shift?, alt?} / {text} |
Synthetic keyboard input. |
ui.set |
UiState fields | Show/hide palettes, toolbars, command line, ViewCube…; theme: "system"|"light"|"dark" (also engine.execute with ui.theme {theme}); ui.inspect reports the theme shown (theme: light/dark). |
ui.resize |
{width, height} |
Resize the window. |
ui.screenshot |
{path?} |
PNG of the window (needs a presented frame). |
ui.render |
{path?, width?, height?} |
Headless render of the current view of the drawing. |
app.open / app.save / app.quit |
{path} |
File operations. |
The MCP server (cadcraft-cli mcp --connect 127.0.0.1:PORT) wraps this protocol; headless
(cadcraft-cli mcp) it serves the same methods from an in-process session.
