TB11 Manual Test Procedures

Created: April 7, 2026 Status: Active — baseline for TB11 source-mode testing Scope: All ConstructiVision menu functions on AutoCAD 2027 (x64) and AutoCAD 2000 (x32) DFMEA: Covers DFMEA-001 through DFMEA-035 (menu routing, dialog loading, cross-doc opening)

Purpose

Step-by-step manual test procedures for every ConstructiVision menu function. These tests verify the TB11 source-mode build reproduces the behavior of the PB11 VLX build.

Use these procedures:

• Before and after each Wave 1–4 refactoring commit (regression gate)

• When deploying to a new VM or AutoCAD version

• As the acceptance criteria for the csv.lsp decomposition work

Prerequisites

• AutoCAD freshly launched (restart between test runs — do not reuse a session with stale state)

• csvmenu.lsp in Startup Suite slot 1

• csv.lsp in Startup Suite slot 2

• ConstructiVision menu visible in the menubar after launch

• C:\cv-debug.txt is written after every c:csv call — check it for state snapshots

Reporting Format

For each test, record:

Field	What to check
Dialog title	Did the expected dialog appear? (read the title bar)
Command line	Any [CSV-ERROR], [CSV-WARN], or [CV-LOAD ERROR] messages?
Return state	Clean return to Command: prompt? Or hung/looping?
Debug log	Check C:\cv-debug.txt for filedia, cmdecho, progcont, curdir, olddwg

Test 1: Create a New Project (from Drawing1)

Menu path: ConstructiVision > New Project Progcont: 262153 (*pc-new-project*) Starting state: Default untitled Drawing1.dwg

Steps

1. Launch AutoCAD fresh. You should be on Drawing1.dwg.

2. Click File > New (or Ctrl+N) to create a new blank drawing if not already on one.

3. Click ConstructiVision > New Project.

4. Expected: “Project Details” dialog (projdet.dcl) appears.

   • Fill in required fields: Project Name, Concrete PSI, Concrete PCF.

   • Choose: Measurement System, Dimension Precision, Language, Paper Size.

   • Click Accept.

5. Expected: “New Project” dialog (new.dcl) appears — asks for project folder name and path.

   • Enter a project name, click OK.

6. Expected: Command line prompts: Panel or Site drawing? [Panel/Site] <Panel>:

   • Type Panel or press Enter for default.

7. Expected: Panel editor dialog (mp_dlg) opens on the blank panel.

Pass criteria

• All three dialogs appear in sequence: projdet → new → panel editor.

• No [CSV-ERROR] messages.

• cv-debug.txt shows curdir pointing to the new project folder.

Known issues

• None expected for this path.

Test 2: Create a New Panel Drawing (project open)

Menu path: ConstructiVision > New Drawing Progcont: 262161 (*pc-new-drawing*) Starting state: A project drawing is already open (e.g., saved from Test 1).

Steps

1. Have a project drawing open.

2. Click ConstructiVision > New Drawing.

3. Expected: Command line prompts: Panel or Site drawing? [Panel/Site] <Panel>:

   • Type Panel or press Enter.

4. Expected: File picker: “Choose a Drawing to use as a template, or click CANCEL to start from scratch.”

   • Option A: Pick an existing .dwg in the project folder (template clone).

   • Option B: Click Cancel (start blank on Drawing1).

5. Expected: Default routing launches the panel editor.

Pass criteria

• File picker appears with correct prompt text.

• Option A (template): Selected drawing opens via scr, panel editor launches on it.

• Option B (cancel): Current drawing stays open, panel editor dialog appears for blank drawing.

Known issues

• New Drawing dead end (Bug 102): ✅ Fixed — pcr=T was unconditionally set after getfiled, killing the fall-through to the editor. Now cancel → blank + editor, template → open via scr.

---
