I’ve just pushed a major overhaul to the app's interface and terminal logic to make it feel a lot more professional. The terminal now features a proper blinking cursor during numeric input phases, making those "enter value" prompts feel much more interactive. I also cleaned up the conditional logic by swapping u/if/!message for a more robust u/if/@else structure and dimming the placeholder text for better readability. On the UI side, I redesigned the toolbar into a sleek, AutoCAD-style two-row ribbon paired with a dedicated status bar. By leveraging CSS Grid, the canvas now renders beautifully behind a semi-transparent toolbar for a modern, layered look. Finally, I used CSS Flex for a fully responsive ribbon layout and squashed that annoying bug where popups were getting trapped behind the toolbar’s stacking context.

I just pushed an update to kulmanlab.com that introduces a comprehensive Offset command with full support for lines, circles, arcs, ellipses, and polylines. To make the workflow smoother, I’ve integrated error messaging and enabled the Space key for quick confirmation. You’ll also notice a new dashed preview arc when offsetting outer arcs, helping you visualize the geometry before you commit. Look for the new icon featuring two concentric arcs (the outer one is dashed) in the toolbar to get started. I’d love for you to give it a spin and let me know if the offset logic feels intuitive for your projects!
The MLeader command has officially been added, bringing a massive overhaul focused on precision and professional detailing. You can now use angle locking for arrowheads and doglegs, featuring a new green X marker and direct length input for perfect accuracy. We’ve also added a dedicated arrowhead picker UI and expanded style support to include architectural ticks, oblique lines, and more. Critical fixes for text rotation, scaling, and frame alignment ensure your labels stay exactly where they belong during complex edits. These improvements, combined with better DXF landing gap parsing and pixel-perfect hit detection, make documentation faster and much more reliable.
I just finished a major design overhaul for kulmanlab.com, focusing primarily on a total reconstruction of the toolbar. My goal was to declutter the workspace and make the most essential tools much more intuitive to access. I’d love to get some honest feedback from this community on the new layout and flow. Check it out and let me know if the changes actually improve your workflow!
