Summary

• Move / rotate / scale share Local (default: first selected solid's frame) or World (global XYZ at that solid's bbox center), persisted as gui.transform_space.
• Rotate keeps X/Y/Z or view-to-object chosen before the first drag and rotates about the assigned axis; when the view faces that axis, the drag uses the perpendicular plane.
• Shape List right-click opens the row menu from the whole entry (checkboxes, M, tree arrow, name field, padding), not only some widgets.
• Shape List and Shape info move to gui_shp_pane.cpp; row drawing is gui_shp_detail::Shape_list_row_drawer instead of a recursive lambda in gui.cpp.

Test plan

• Build Release EzyCad and EzyCad_tests
• Run EzyCad_tests filters covering Transform_axes, Transform_translation, Rotate_axis, Set_frame
• Assign a cylinder frame (Set from cylindrical face, Show axes on): Rotate Local + Z spins about the cylinder axis, not world Z through bbox
• Choose X/Y/Z in Options before moving the mouse; first drag uses that axis
• Face the constrained axis and drag: rotation stays about that axis (axis-plane gesture)
• Move and Scale: Local uses frame origin/axes; World uses bbox center + global XYZ; setting survives restart
• Shape List: right-click vis checkbox, M, tree arrow, name field, and gaps between widgets — same menu
• Spot-check docs/usage.md Move/Rotate/Scale + Shape List, usage-settings.md transform_space, CHANGELOG

Notes

• Fixes Local/World transform space, rotate about assigned axis, and Shape List row context menu #265
• Out of scope: per-solid transform space, group-frame inheritance, polar-duplicate axis space

Note

Medium Risk
Changes interactive transform math and pivot behavior for core modeling tools; incorrect rebasing or axis capture could mis-apply geometry until undo.

Overview
Adds Local vs World transform space for Move, Rotate, and Scale (Options + persisted gui.transform_space). Local uses the first selected solid’s assigned frame; World uses global XYZ at that solid’s bbox center. Shared logic lives in shp_transform, and move/rotate/scale pivots and constrained axes follow the chosen space.

Rotate is reworked: X/Y/Z and view-to-object can be set before the first drag; the drag plane and view-to-object axis are frozen on the first sample so orbit/pan does not retarget the gesture; constrained axes rotate about the assigned frame axis with a perpendicular plane when the view faces the axis; switching Local/World mid-drag re-baselines the mouse anchor while keeping the current angle. Scale similarly re-baselines mid-drag so the factor does not jump.

The Shape List moves to gui_shp_pane.cpp (Shape_list_row_drawer); right-click opens the row context menu anywhere on the row (not only name/M). Docs, default settings, scripting JSON, and tests cover transform space and the new rotate/scale behavior.

Space switch drops captured view axis

Medium Severity

A mid-drag Local/World switch clears m_captured_axis_dir and m_rotate_pln for every rotate mode, including View-to-object. That axis does not depend on transform space, so after an orbit the preview immediately reapplies the kept angle around the live camera direction instead of the frozen first-sample axis.
