ConstructiVision v11 Architecture Documentation¶

Purpose: This document maps the complete architecture of ConstructiVision v11 for the PB11-00x32 (32-bit AutoCAD 2000) platform. Every clickable path is traced from the menu through every dialog, sub-dialog, and sub-sub-dialog to the final leaf action.

Table of Contents¶

System Overview¶

Technology Stack¶

Platform: AutoCAD 2000 (32-bit)
Language: AutoLISP with DCL (Dialog Control Language)
Compiled Format: CSV.VLX (Visual LISP eXecutable) — contains csvreg and csvtech as compiled-only functions with no source
Main Entry Point: c:csv function in csv.lsp (loaded via csv.vlx)
Menu System: csv.mnu compiled to csv.mns / csv.mnr / csv.mnc / csv.cui

Physical File Inventory¶

Type	Count	Notes
LISP source (.lsp)	~81	93 listed in csvlst; 12 missing (see §21)
DCL dialogs (.dcl)	26	Some contain multiple dialog definitions
Menu files	5	csv.mnu, csv.mns, csv.mnr, csv.mnc, csv.cui
Compiled VLX	1	CSV.VLX — compiled application bundle
Compiled ARX	1	CSV.ARX — ObjectARX extension
Help file	1	CSV.Hlp — Windows Help
PDF manual	1	CSV Manual.pdf

Maximum Dialog Depth¶

The deepest user-interaction path in the system is 6 levels from menu click:

Menu → csv → site_dlg → sdwg_dlg → grid_dlg → num_dlg → insgrid_dlg

The calculator (calc_dlg) is available at nearly every level as a pop-up, making some logical paths 7 levels deep.

Module Load List (csvlst — 93 modules)¶

Defined in csv.lsp lines 130–139. All 93 are loaded via (foreach a csvlst (load a)) at startup. Of these, 12 have no source file on disk (see §21).

Menu Structure (40 Click Paths)¶

The ConstructiVision menu (csv.mnu, MENUGROUP=CSV) adds a single top-level pulldown ***POP1 named “ConstructiVision”. All items live under this one pulldown. Arrows (→) indicate submenus.

Total clickable leaf items: 40

A — Program Options¶

Menu: Program Options
ID: ID_CSVRUN
progcont: 1
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

This is the primary entry point. The csv function (csv.lsp, 281 lines) initializes the system and routes to the appropriate hub dialog.

A — Entry Flow (csv.lsp)¶

Set 30+ AutoCAD system variables (cmdecho, blipmode, osmode, etc.)
Load all 93 modules from csvlst (or call vl-acad-defun if ARX is loaded)
Set curdir from current drawing directory
Routing decision:
- No drawing open (Drawing.dwg or acad directory) → Project Dialog (A.1)
- panel_list exists in namedobjdict → Panel Options Dialog (A.2)
- site_list exists in namedobjdict → Site Options Dialog (A.3)
- Neither → Panel Options Dialog (A.2) as default

Important: The progcont value is set by each menu item but is never checked in the source code. All five menu items (A–E) that call csv pass through the same routing logic regardless of their progcont value.

A.1 — Project Dialog¶

DCL: project.dcl → dialog "project"
Title: “ConstructiVision – Project Options”

Button	Key	Action	Depth
New Project	`new`	→ A.1.1 New Project Dialog	+1
Existing Project	`old`	→ File browser (`getfiled`) → returns to routing	leaf
Cancel	`cancel`	Sets `ld=nil`, exits csv	leaf
Help	`help`	Opens csv.hlp “Project”	leaf

A.1.1 — New Project Dialog¶

DCL: new.dcl → dialog "new"
Title: “ConstructiVision – New Project”
Source: new.lsp (32 lines)

Field	Key	Type	Size	Purpose
Project Name	`pjname`	edit_box	32 chars	Name of project
Directory	`curdir`	edit_box	40 wide	Auto-populated from parent dir

Button	Key	Action
OK	`accept`	Creates directory via shell (`cv.bat`), then back to routing
Cancel	`cancel`	Aborts
Help	`help`	Opens csv.hlp “New_Project”

After A.1 completes → returns to routing → opens A.2 (Panel Options) or A.3 (Site Options).

A.2 — Panel Options Dialog¶

DCL: md_dlg.dcl → dialog "md_dlg" (182 lines)
Title: “ConstructiVision – Panel Options”
Source: md_dlg.lsp (217 lines)

This is the central hub for all panel operations. Contains 18 action buttons plus OK, Cancel, Help, and Calc.

State sensitivity: When no drawing is loaded (olddwg=nil), buttons A.2.3 through A.2.18 are disabled — only Create/Edit and OK/Cancel/Help/Calc are active.

#	Button Label	Key	Action	See
A.2.1	Create New Panel	`new`	→ Drawing Options → Panel Properties	§A.2.1

A.2.1 — Create New Panel¶

If no drawing loaded → opens Drawing Options (dwg.dcl):
- “This Drawing” → uses current drawing
- “Another Drawing” → file browser
- “Cancel” → abort
Calls dwgnew (dwgnew.lsp, 31 lines) — security check, template setup
Sets ld="pt", dialog closes
After dialog: calls panel() → A.2.1.x Panel Properties

A.2.2 — Edit Existing Panel¶

If no drawing loaded → file browser (getfiled)
If drawing loaded → opens Drawing Options (dwg.dcl)
Calls dwgold (dwgold.lsp, 35 lines) — validates panel_list in namedobjdict
Sets ld="pt", dialog closes
After dialog: calls panel() → A.2.1.x Panel Properties

A.2.1.x — Panel Properties Dialog (mp_dlg)¶

DCL: mp_dlg.dcl → dialog "mp_dlg" (436 lines of DCL)
Title: “ConstructiVision – Where the Future is Now!”
Source: mp_dlg.lsp (150 lines)

This is the most complex single dialog in the system. It collects all panel parameters and contains 20 feature toggles, each of which opens its own sub-dialog.

Project Details Section¶

Field	Key	Type	Size	Purpose
Version	`mpv#`	edit_box	disabled	Version number (read-only)
Project Name	`mppn`	edit_box	disabled	Auto-populated (read-only)
Location	`mplo`	edit_box	18 chars	Project location
Contractor	`mpco`	edit_box	16 chars	Contractor name

Drawing Details Section¶

Field	Key	Type	Size/Options	Purpose
Panel Number	`mpp#`	edit_box	4 chars	Validates uniqueness
Scale Factor	`mpsc`	popup_list	Inches per foot	Drawing scale
Viewed From	`mpvw`	popup_list	Interior/Exterior	View direction
Drawn By	`mpdb`	edit_box	6 chars	Drafter initials

Panel Dimensions Section (all with slider controls)¶

Field	Key	Slider	Range	Purpose
Thickness	`mpx1`	`mpx1s`	24–96	Panel thickness
Width	`mpw1`	`mpw1s`	384–4800	Panel width
Bottom Elevation	`mpe1`	`mpe1s`	-960–2880	Bottom elevation
Miter Left	`mpm1`	`mpm1s`	-270–270	Left miter angle
Miter Right	`mpm2`	`mpm2s`	-270–270	Right miter angle
Top Left	`mpl1`	`mpl1s`	384–4800	Top left height
Top Right	`mpr1`	`mpr1s`	384–4800	Top right height
Top Peak Elevation	`mpp1`	`mpp1s`	0–4800	Peak height (0 = no peak)
Top Peak Distance	`mpd1`	`mpd1s`	0–4800	Peak distance from left
Arch Radius	`mpa1`	`mpa1s`	0–9600	Arch radius (0 = no arch)

Panel Details — 20 Feature Toggles¶

Each toggle, when checked (value "1"), opens a sub-dialog for that feature. The naming convention is: key "mpXX" → calls function XX_dlg. All 18 existing sub-dialogs are leaf nodes — they do not open further sub-dialogs (except the shared Calc button).

Sub-Dialog Detail: ro_dlg (Rough Opening — representative example)¶

DCL: ro_dlg.dcl
Source: ro_dlg.lsp (89 lines)

Supports up to 4 rough openings per panel. Per opening:

Field	Purpose
Width	Opening width
Height	Opening height
Horizontal Position	Distance from panel left edge
Vertical Position	Distance from panel bottom
Type	Dropdown: Window / Door / Louver / etc.

Buttons: OK, Cancel, Help (“Rough_Opening”), Calc → calc_dlg

After OK in mp_dlg (Panel Generation Pipeline)¶

mp_dlg OK → updvar (store variables to xrecord)
           → drawpan (342 lines — generates panel geometry)
           → drawdim (89KB — dimensioning engine, largest file)
           → mkblk (38KB — title block generation)
           → finpan (finalize + revision prompt)

None of these post-dialog steps have user-visible dialogs (they draw directly in AutoCAD).

Source: let_dlg.lsp (28 lines — wrapper)

Same structure as num_dlg but defaults A–Z. Keys: ltn1–ltn50 / ltd1–ltd50.

Insert Grid Dialog (insgrid_dlg)¶

DCL: Inside grid_dlg.dcl → dialog "insgrid_dlg"

Field	Key	Type	Purpose
Insert After Grid	`pg`	popup_list	Which existing grid to insert after
New Grid ID	`id`	edit_box	Label for the new grid
Distance	`dist`	edit_box	Distance from the reference grid

Button	Action
OK	Inserts row into grid list, returns to num_dlg/let_dlg
Cancel	Aborts
Calc	→ calc_dlg

Full depth path through grid system:

sdwg_dlg → grid_dlg → num_dlg → insgrid_dlg → calc_dlg
                     → let_dlg → insgrid_dlg → calc_dlg

A.3.x.3 — Slab Dialog (slab_dlg)¶

DCL: slab_dlg.dcl — 897 lines, contains 4 dialog definitions (slab_dlg, page2, page3, page4)
Source: slab_dlg.lsp (163 lines)
Prerequisite: Requires >20 gridlines defined, otherwise shows alert “Grids must be defined before Slab Line can be drawn”

4 pages, each displaying 16 slab/wall line segments = 64 total segments.

Per segment (10 fields × 64 = 640 total input fields):

Field	Key Pattern	Type	Purpose
Begin X Grid	`slg1_N`	popup_list	Beginning X gridline
Begin X Offset	`slo1_N`	edit_box	Offset from X grid
Begin Y Grid	`slg2_N`	popup_list	Beginning Y gridline
Begin Y Offset	`slo2_N`	edit_box	Offset from Y grid
Begin Elevation	`sle1_N`	edit_box	Elevation at begin point
End X Grid	`slg3_N`	popup_list	End X gridline
End X Offset	`slo3_N`	edit_box	Offset from X grid
End Y Grid	`slg4_N`	popup_list	End Y gridline
End Y Offset	`slo4_N`	edit_box	Offset from Y grid
End Elevation	`sle2_N`	edit_box	Elevation at end point

Additional field on Page 1: Slab Thickness (slx1).

Button	Action
Page 2 / Page 3 / Page 4	Navigates to sibling dialog pages (saves data, opens next)
OK	Saves to xrecord → calls `slabline` to draw geometry
Cancel	Aborts
Calc	→ calc_dlg

Note: Although Page 1 is titled “Slab Details”, Pages 2–4 are titled “Wall Line Details”. Wall functionality has been merged into the slab dialog — which is why wall_dlg.lsp doesn’t exist.

A.4 — Batch Utilities Dialog¶

DCL: btch_dlg.dcl → dialog "btch_dlg"
Source: btch_dlg.lsp (165 lines)

Section	Fields
Selection	All Panels (`all` radio) / Range (`rng` → `bmin`/`bmax` popups) / Modified Since (`mod` → `bdate` popup)
Plot Mode	None (`0` radio) / Print (`1`) / Print+Edit (`2`)
Processing	New (`n` radio) / Reprocess (`r`)
Layer Toggles

Layer toggles (checkboxes):

Toggle	Key	Layer
Exports	`e`	Enable export
All Elements	`a`	Master toggle (all layers)
Connections	`c`	connections layer
Custom	`u`	custom layer
Feature Strip	`f`	feature layer
Greenplate	`g`	greenplate layer
Hardware	`h`	hardware layer
Perimeter (Title Block)	`p`	perimeter layer
Openings	`o`	openings layer
Solid	`s`	solid layer

Button	Action
OK	→ `btch` function (btch.lsp, 37 lines) — generates `btch.scr` script → runs `script` cmd
Cancel	Aborts
Help	Opens csv.hlp “Batch”

After OK: btch builds a script file that opens each panel drawing sequentially, runs the panel generation pipeline (panel → mp_dlg → drawpan → drawdim → mkblk → finpan), and optionally plots. Completely automated — no further user interaction.

A.5 — Materials List Dialog (matl_dlg)¶

DCL: matl_dlg.dcl
Source: matl_dlg.lsp (336 lines)

This is a progress display dialog (not user input). Shows processing status:

Field	Key	Content
Message 1	`msg1`	“Examining Panels”
Message 2	`msg2`	Total panel count
Message 3	`msg3`	Current panel number
Message 4	`msg4`	Status message

Processing logic: Iterates all blocks in the site drawing → for each panel block, counts materials (reveals, chamfers, braces, J-bolts, weld connections, cubic yards of concrete) → reads wcl.txt for weld connection definitions → writes formatted report to matlist.txt → sends to printer.

B — Create New Project¶

Menu: Create New Project
ID: ID_CSV8
progcont: 262153
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

Identical routing to A. The csv function does not check progcont. It enters the same decision tree:

No drawing → Project Dialog (A.1) → New Project (A.1.1)
Panel drawing → Panel Options (A.2)
Site drawing → Site Options (A.3)

All sub-dialogs are shared with A. See §A for complete dialog trees.

C — Create New Drawing¶

Menu: Create New Drawing
ID: ID_CSV16
progcont: 262161
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

Identical routing to A and B. Same dialog trees apply. See §A.

D — Edit Existing Drawing¶

Menu: Edit Existing Drawing
ID: ID_CSV0
progcont: 262145
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

Identical routing to A–C. Same dialog trees apply. See §A.

E — Batch Utilities¶

Menu: Batch Utilities
ID: ID_CSV32
progcont: 262177
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

Identical routing to A–D. The csv function routes to Panel Options (A.2) or Site Options (A.3), from which the user clicks “Batch Utilities” to reach A.4. See §A.4 for the full batch dialog.

F — Change 3D Viewpoint¶

Menu: Change 3D Viewpoint (submenu with 10 items)
ID: ID_CSV3d
Action: Pure AutoCAD commands — no LISP code involved

All 10 items are leaf nodes that execute AutoCAD _-view commands and set the *solid layer color:

#	Menu Item	AutoCAD Command	Layer Color
F.1	Panel Up Face / Site Plan	`_-view _top`	color 252 on `*solid`
F.2	Panel Down Face	`_-view _bottom`	color 252 on `*solid`
F.3	Panel Left Edge / West Elev	`_-view _left`	color 252 on `*solid`
F.4	Panel Right Edge / East Elev	`_-view _right`	color 252 on `*solid`
F.5	Panel Bottom Edge / North Elev	`_-view _back`	color 252 on `*solid`
F.6	Panel Top Edge / South Elev	`_-view _front`	color 252 on `*solid`
F.7	SW Isometric	`_-view _swiso`	color 255 on `*solid`
F.8	SE Isometric	`_-view _seiso`	color 255 on `*solid`
F.9	NE Isometric	`_-view _neiso`	color 255 on `*solid`
F.10	NW Isometric	`_-view _nwiso`	color 255 on `*solid`

Color convention: Orthographic views use color 252 (near-black), isometric views use color 255 (white/transparent).

G — View Layers¶

Menu: View Layers (nested submenu)
ID: ID_CSVLAYER

G.1 — Panel (submenu, 6 items)¶

#	Menu Item	ID	Action	Layers Enabled
G.1.a	All Layers	`ID_AllLayers`	csv (262209)	All layers on
G.1.b	Edge Form	`ID_FormLayers`	AutoCAD layer cmd	0, solid, solid_dim, perimeter, perimeter_dim
G.1.c	Ledgers / Top Plate	`ID_GreenLayers`	AutoCAD layer cmd	0, solid, solid_dim, perimeter, greenplate, greenplate_dim, hardware
G.1.d	Weld Connections	`ID_ConnLayers`	AutoCAD layer cmd	0, solid, solid_dim, perimeter, connections, connections_dim
G.1.e	Feature Strip	`ID_FeatureLayers`	AutoCAD layer cmd	0, solid, solid_dim, perimeter, feature, feature_dim
G.1.f	Pick / Brace Points	`ID_PointLayers`	AutoCAD layer cmd	0, solid, solid_dim, perimeter, points, points_dim

Items G.1.b–G.1.f set expert 5 to suppress prompts, then layer off * then on for specific layers. All are leaf actions.

G.1.a calls csv which routes through the normal dialog chain (see §A).

G.2 — Site (submenu, 1 item)¶

#	Menu Item	ID	Action
G.2.a	Select Layers	`ID_CustomLayers`	csv (262273) — routes through normal dialog chain

H — Shading¶

Menu: Shading (submenu with 3 items)
ID: ID_CSV8192
Action: Pure AutoCAD commands — no LISP code involved

#	Menu Item	AutoCAD Command
H.1	Off	`_shademode 2`
H.2	Hidden	`_shademode h`
H.3	Shaded	`_shademode o`

All 3 items are leaf nodes.

I — Print¶

Menu: Print (nested submenu)
ID: ID_CSVPRINT

I.1 — Panel (submenu, 6 items)¶

#	Menu Item	ID	progcont	Action
I.1.a	All Layers	`ID_CSV256`	262465	csv → `plt`
I.1.b	Edge Form	`ID_PFormLayers`	262401	Layer cmd → csv → `plt`
I.1.c	Ledgers / Top Plate	`ID_PGreenLayers`	262401	Layer cmd → csv → `plt`
I.1.d	Weld Connections	`ID_PConnLayers`	262401	Layer cmd → csv → `plt`
I.1.e	Feature Strip	`ID_PFeatureLayers`	262401	Layer cmd → csv → `plt`
I.1.f	Pick / Brace Points	`ID_PPointLayers`	262401	Layer cmd → csv → `plt`

For I.1.b–f: The menu first executes AutoCAD layer commands to set visibility (same layer sets as G.1.b–f), then calls csv.

I.2 — Site (submenu, 1 item)¶

#	Menu Item	ID	progcont	Action
I.2.a	Select Layouts	`ID_CSV512`	262657	csv → `plt`

plt Function (plt.lsp, 22 lines)¶

The plt function checks drawing orientation (portrait vs landscape), sets up plot settings, and calls AutoCAD’s plot command. In batch mode, it also manages layer visibility based on btcha flags. All print paths are leaf actions after the layer setup.

J — Materials List¶

Menu: Materials List
ID: ID_CSV1024
progcont: 263169
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

Routes through standard csv entry flow → Site Options (A.3) → “Print Materials List” button → A.5 matl_dlg (progress display, automated processing — see §A.5).

K — Revision History¶

Menu: Revision History
ID: ID_CSV2048
progcont: 264193
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv

Routes through csv → Panel Options (A.2) or Site Options (A.3). The revision dialog is called from finpan during the panel generation pipeline.

Revision Dialog¶

DCL: revision.dcl → dialog "revision"
Source: revision.lsp (24 lines)

Fields (per row, 10 rows)	Key Pattern	Type	Purpose
Revision #	`r1`–`r10`	edit_box	Revision number
Date	`d1`–`d10`	edit_box	Revision date
Description	`t1`–`t10`	edit_box	Revision notes

Button	Action
OK	Calls `donerev` → updates title block revision table in drawing
Cancel	Aborts
Help	Opens csv.hlp “Revision”

Supports up to 10 revisions. Auto-fills next empty row with current revision number and date. Leaf dialog — no sub-dialogs.

L — Slope Calculator¶

Menu: Slope Calculator
ID: ID_CSVSLOPE
progcont: 8193
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csv → routes through dialog chain

Opens CSV.Hlp to the “About” topic. Leaf action — no dialogs.

Q — Tech Support¶

Menu: Tech Support
ID: ID_CSVSUPPORT
Action: Loads csv.vlx → calls csvtech

Compiled-only function — csvtech exists only inside CSV.VLX. No .lsp source file. Cannot be traced further. Likely displays contact information or sends diagnostic data.

Shared Dialogs Reference¶

calc_dlg — Construction Calculator¶

DCL: calc_dlg.dcl → dialog "calc_dlg"
Source: calc_dlg.lsp (127 lines)
Available from: Nearly every dialog in the system via “Calc” button

Three input values (A, B, C), each with feet / inches / sixteenths sliders:

Input	Key	Sliders	Purpose
Value A	`a`	`a1s` (ft) / `a2s` (in) / `a3s` (16ths)	Primary dimension
Value B	`b`	`b1s` / `b2s` / `b3s`	Secondary dimension
Value C	`c`	`c1s` / `c2s` / `c3s`	Third dimension

Computed Results (live-updating as sliders move):

Output	Formula	Units
Inverse	1/A	—
Square	A²/12	—
Square Root	√(A/12)×12	—
Sum	A + B	ft-in-16ths
Difference		A − B
Area	A × B / 144	sq. ft.
Quotient	A / B	—
Hypotenuse	√(A² + B²)	ft-in-16ths
Side	√(A² − B²)	ft-in-16ths
Board Feet	A × B × C / 144	board feet
Volume	A × B × C / 46656	cu. yds.
Weight	Volume × 3.922	tons

Button	Action
Clear	Resets all inputs to 0
OK	Closes calculator, returns to calling dialog
Cancel	Aborts
Help	Opens csv.hlp “Calculator”

Leaf dialog — no sub-dialogs.

dwg — Drawing Options Dialog¶

DCL: dwg.dcl → dialog "dwg"
Title: “ConstructiVision – Drawing Options”

Button	Key	Action
Another Drawing	`new`	Opens file browser (`getfiled`) → returns filepath
This Drawing	`old`	Uses current drawing
Cancel	`cancel`	Aborts
Help	`help`	Opens csv.hlp

Message text (“msg1”, “msg2”) varies by calling context (dwgnew vs dwgold). Leaf dialog.

invar — Generic Input Prompt¶

DCL: invar.dcl → dialog "invar"
Title: “ConstructiVision Message”
Source: invar.lsp (11 lines)

Single edit_box + OK button. Used by inspanel (gap dimension) and layout (rotation angle). Leaf dialog.

warning — Confirmation Dialog¶

DCL: warning.dcl
Source: ⚠️ warning.lsp is MISSING (listed in csvlst but no file on disk)

Shows confirmation message with msg1, msg2a, msg2b, msg3. Returns ok="ok" or nil. Used for “overwrite existing?” confirmations. The DCL likely still works if loaded from VLX.

Missing and Stub Source Files¶

Missing Source Files (12 modules in csvlst with no .lsp on disk)¶

All missing modules relate to weld connections or standard openings — two feature areas that appear to have been removed or never completed.

Module	Referenced By	Impact If Triggered
`wall_dlg.lsp`	sdwg_dlg button “wl”; csvlst; CSV.MKP build project	Wall Line button would crash. Functionality merged into slab_dlg pages 2–4
`wd_dlg.lsp`	mp_dlg toggle `mpwd` (Standard Opening)	Checking the toggle crashes — undefined function
`wc_dlg.lsp`	mp_dlg toggle `mpwc` (Weld Connections panel)	Checking the toggle crashes — undefined function
`weld.lsp`	sdwg_dlg button “wc”; csvlst	Site weld button — but button is disabled in UI
`weldconn.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — load fails silently or errors
`wc_edit.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — no visible UI trigger
`wcenable.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — no visible UI trigger
`wclist.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — no visible UI trigger
`wcpage.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — no visible UI trigger
`wdenable.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — no visible UI trigger
`wdpage.lsp`	csvlst	Loaded at startup — no visible UI trigger
`warning.lsp`	csvlst; used for overwrite confirmations	May cause errors when overwrite prompt is needed

Stub Functions (2 modules — exist but show “not available” alert)¶

Module	Lines	Message
`footing.lsp`	4	`(alert "Sorry, this function is not available in this release")`
`column.lsp`	4	`(alert "Sorry, this function is not available in this release")`

Both are also disabled at the UI level via (mode_tile "fg" 1) and (mode_tile "cp" 1) in sdwg_dlg.lsp.

Disabled-at-Runtime UI Elements¶

Dialog	Button	Key	Mechanism
sdwg_dlg	Footings	`fg`	`(mode_tile "fg" 1)` — grayed out
sdwg_dlg	Column Pads	`cp`	`(mode_tile "cp" 1)` — grayed out
sdwg_dlg	Weld Connections	`wc`	`(mode_tile "wc" 1)` — grayed out
site_dlg	Render	`rn`	Not disabled in UI — shows alert at runtime

Compiled-Only Functions (No Source — Inside CSV.VLX)¶

Function	Menu Item	Purpose
`csvreg`	M: Registration Manager	Software licensing/registration
`csvtech`	Q: Tech Support	Technical support contact

Anomaly: progcont Variable¶

The progcont global variable is set by every menu item that calls csv (values 1, 8193, 262145, 262153, 262161, 262177, 262209, 262273, 262401, 262465, 262657, 263169, 264193) but is never read in any source file. Likely vestigial from an earlier version, or consumed inside the compiled VLX/ARX.
