Implementation of the 'Attach' function (likely related to external references or image attachments) and general feature completeness.

Functional parity with standard CAD commands, ensuring UI elements correspond to implemented backend functionality.

This issue exposes a critical disconnect between CADCraft's user interface and its underlying functionality: a prominent 'attach' button exists, but the corresponding function is unimplemented. This creates a broken user experience, leading to frustration and a perception of an incomplete or unre...
