# H7CAD — Feature Roadmap

Ribbon buttons that exist in the UI but have no backend implementation yet.
Each entry lists the command ID, what it should do, and rough complexity.

## Complexity Key

- **Low** — a single flag/variable toggle or simple dialog, no geometry math
- **Medium** — involves UI interaction or document-level table edits
- **High** — requires new data structures, complex geometry, or external file I/O
