Summary

Importing a DXF drawing now asks for the coordinate system its coordinates are in and whether the
contents of its blocks (图块) are drawn, and its non-ASCII text — layer names, TEXT/MTEXT
labels — is decoded in the drawing's code page instead of being read as Latin-1.

Import DXF opens from Home › Add › Add Data › DXF…, a drawing dropped on the app, Add Data,
or a double-click in the Browser pane:

• Coordinate system starts as the map's: EPSG:3857 for Web Mercator, EPSG:4326 for the
  globe, the map's own EPSG:… code, or, for a preset projection, the definition the map projects
  with. Blank keeps the drawing's coordinates as they are, as before.
• Import block contents (图块) starts ticked, so INSERTs and DIMENSIONs draw their blocks as
  they did. Unticked, dxf::Options::blocks = false leaves those contents out and the report says
  how many were left out; a drawing whose content is all inside left-out blocks is an error that
  names "blocks": true rather than an empty result.
• Drawings picked or dropped together queue: each opens its own dialog once the one before closes,
  added or cancelled.

The options travel with every way a drawing arrives: "crs" (DXF is now listed as one of the
formats it applies to) and the new "blocks" in layer.addData, layer.addDataText,
layer.addUrl, layer.addDownload and layer.addDataBytes, forwarded through the window-read
keys, the plugin fetch path and the web picker. The web app picks a DXF through its own
request-specific "dxf:<id>" purpose and the DXF_PICK marker, and a script's options add the drawing without the
dialog. On the desktop the file is read through readjob as Add Data reads it (off the UI thread,
progress and Cancel in the status bar).

Text decoding (crates/data/src/dxf.rs): UTF-8 first (AutoCAD 2007 and later); otherwise the
$DWGCODEPAGE the header names — ANSI_936/GBK, ANSI_950/Big5, ANSI_932/Shift_JIS,
ANSI_949/EUC-KR, ANSI_874, ANSI_1250–1258, ANSI_866, ANSI_65001 — decoded with
encoding_rs. A page RustGIS doesn't know, or a drawing that names none, is read as Latin-1 with a
notice saying so, and characters the code page can't decode are counted in a notice. read() and
layers() share the same decode, so the layer chooser offers the names the import will use.

Docs: the DXF row of docs/user-guide/data-formats.md and the Add Data paragraph of
docs/user-guide/data.md.

Testing

• Full fork CI passed at 4af46d4c: pre-commit/clippy, workspace tests and layers, the full WebAssembly app build, and licences.
• Local targeted DXF tests passed in rustgis-data, rustgis-engine, and the UI smoke suite; clippy passed with warnings denied.
• Regression coverage includes cancellation with queued drawings, overlapping picker options in both completion orders, a stored drawing imported while another picker has a pending command, oversized DXF text, desktop read-ahead parity, DIMENSION fallback geometry, and cancelling the reader.
• RUSTFLAGS='-D warnings' cargo check -p rustgis-ui-egui --target wasm32-unknown-unknown passed. The current dialog was rendered through ui_shot and inspected.

UI evidence

New UI (after only): the menu item, the dialog as it opens on the World Atlas sample (CRS
prefilled from the map, blocks ticked), and the imported drawing — layer names and labels in
Chinese, decoded. The images are on a screenshots branch of my fork for the moment.

Related issue

No issue: this came out of importing a Chinese drawing whose layer names arrived as Latin-1
mojibake, and whose import had no way to say what coordinate system its coordinates were in or to
leave out its blocks. No other project's code was followed: the code pages are the ones AutoCAD
documents for $DWGCODEPAGE, decoded by encoding_rs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added a dedicated DXF import option in the Add Data menu, file picker, drag-and-drop, and Browser.
  • DXF imports let you choose a coordinate system and whether to draw inserted blocks; the map’s coordinate system is suggested by default. You can also import drawings with specified options.
  • DXF text is decoded using its declared code page when needed, with notices when decoding is uncertain.
• Documentation
  • Updated the data guides with DXF import options and dialog behavior.

Walkthrough

The DXF reader adds code-page decoding, optional block omission, and progress cancellation. Import commands pass DXF options through file, URL, download, and text paths. The UI adds DXF selection and an import dialog for CRS and block settings, including sequential handling of multiple drawings.

Changes: DXF Import

Layer / File(s)	Summary
DXF decoding and block handling crates/data/src/dxf.rs	The reader supports UTF-8, recognized $DWGCODEPAGE encodings, and Latin-1 fallback. The blocks option defaults to true. When disabled, the reader counts omitted blocks and reports an error if they are the only content. Progress cancellation propagates through parsing and emission.
Import command options crates/engine/src/cmd/layer.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/raster.rs, crates/engine/src/cmd/plugin_fetch.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs	Import commands document and forward the DXF blocks option. DXF text uses the multi-layer reader. Tests cover read-ahead, block settings, and the text size limit.
DXF picker and import dialog apps/rustgis-web/src/web.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/lib.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/layerchooser.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/dialogs.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/chrome.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/ribbon.rs, crates/ui-egui/tests/smoke.rs, docs/user-guide/data.md, docs/user-guide/data-formats.md	Web and native file selection route DXF drawings to the import flow. The dialog initializes CRS from the map and enables blocks by default. It imports paths or browser bytes and processes queued drawings one at a time. Smoke tests and guides cover this workflow.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 4af46

DXF import now handles code pages, block options, queued drawings and size limits correctly in the main paths. Two minor edge cases remain: a drawing with a comment containing $DWGCODEPAGE can decode with the wrong code page, and in the browser, repeated failed file reads can eventually block the DXF picker until reload. Neither blocks the main workflow, so the change is mergeable with follow-up.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the DXF import changes: a coordinate-system prompt, a blocks option, and code-page decoding. These match the main changeset in the dialog, data, and engine files. The title uses the conventional feat(scope) prefix and is one sentence, though at 97 characters it is somewhat long.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and covers the summary (what changed and why), testing (CI runs, targeted tests, wasm check, and regression coverage), UI evidence (before/after screenshots of the new Import DXF menu item, dialog, and imported layers), and related issue (explicitly states no issue exists and gives the reasoning). It follows the template's required sections. The UI evidence section includes screenshots, and the template requires them for visible UI changes, so it is satisfied. Minor gaps: the 'Related issue' section does not use a link or issue number, which is acceptable because the author states none exists. Some screenshot links point to a fork branch that may not be accessible, which a reviewer should verify.

Bug (medium confidence, about 80%): "blocks": false also drops a DIMENSION's fallback geometry.

DIMENSIONs are Shape::Insert too (dxf.rs:762). When the dimension's anonymous block is missing from the file, the fallback lines and text are drawn further down (around line 1262). This continue runs first, so with blocks: false those lines and text are never drawn. The Options::blocks doc says "what the drawing draws without blocks is kept", which this contradicts. The notice also reports them as "inserted blocks (图块) were left out", so the count is not accurate for dimensions.

Suggested fix: only skip when the block is actually present, so the fallback path still runs when it is missing. For example, compute let block = d.blocks.get(&key); before this check and use if !opts.blocks && block.is_some(). Then the Some((base, inner)) arm needs the same lookup. Add a regression test in blocks_can_be_left_out with a DIMENSION whose block is absent (blocks: false should still draw its fallback lines), and make the notice wording cover dimensions if they are still left out.

[Mavrick-F]

Fixed in 4af46d4c. A DIMENSION whose block is absent now keeps its fallback lines and text when blocks are disabled. Existing block contents are still omitted and counted. The regression compares the missing-block DIMENSION with blocks enabled and disabled, checks that line geometry remains, and checks that no omission notice is emitted.

Targeted DXF checks and full fork CI pass.

Code review

Bugs

• crates/data/src/dxf.rs:1251 (medium, about 80% confidence): with "blocks": false, the check runs before the DIMENSION fallback path, so lines and text that a dimension draws when its block is missing are dropped. Options::blocks promises that what the drawing draws without blocks is kept, and the notice counts these dimensions as "inserted blocks". Posted inline with a suggested direction and a test to add.

Security

• No new findings.

Performance

• No new findings. decode and code_page scan at most 1 MB for the header, and layers() and read() each decode once.

Quality

• dxf.rs blocks_can_be_left_out has no DIMENSION case, which is why the fallback regression above isn't caught.

AGENTS.md

• No new findings. I checked the never-crash, never-silent, background-work, cancel-list, wasm, translation, and layering rules against the diff. tl! is exported and used the same way in web.rs, and encoding_rs is already a workspace dependency.

Already raised, left alone (5 threads, code unchanged):

1. Cancel or window close leaves dialogs.dxf set, which strands queued drawings (dialogs.rs).
2. A single pending_dxf slot shares options between requests (lib.rs).
3. The native options branch runs layer.addData on the window thread, and add_data_ahead has no .dxf case (lib.rs).
4. layer.addDataText bypasses the 256 MiB text limit (layer.rs).
5. A stored drawing can be dispatched through another picker's pending command (dialogs.rs).

I did not re-post any of these. Their code still matches the diff.

Not compiled or run here: the environment has no build tool, so these findings come from reading the code.

Send the DXF request's terminal marker when a selected drawing cannot be read.

When parts::read_file returns None for a DXF pick, read_together skips the file and sends no inbox item. open_picked then never removes the request's pending_dxf entry. Each failed read leaves one entry behind. After 64 leaked entries, the DXF picker rejects new requests for the rest of the session. Send the same empty marker that a cancelled pick sends.

Suggested fix

         if let Some(bytes) = crate::parts::read_file(file, notes.clone()).await {
             read.push((name, bytes));

Read $DWGCODEPAGE from HEADER group pairs, not a substring.

DXF permits group 999 comments that readers must ignore. (help.autodesk.com)

For example, prepend 999\n$DWGCODEPAGE\n999\nANSI_1252\n to the GBK fixture. This search selects the comment. Lines 132–136 then accept 999 and return ANSI_1252, despite the real HEADER variable naming ANSI_936. Both read() and layers() receive incorrectly decoded text.

Within the bounded prefix, locate group 9 with the exact variable name in HEADER, then read its group 3 value. Add a regression with the preceding comments.
