The UI application with MDI interface.
- **Auto Nest engine routing**: when the selected engine is not a built-in fill strategy (`EngineSelection.IsFillStrategy` is false, i.e. StockLadder or an `Engines/` plug-in), `MainForm.RunJobEngineAsync` solves the whole job through `INestingEngine.Solve`. `JobEngineNest` builds the `NestJob` from the auto-nest items and either the plate options or the current plate, and it converts `NestJobProgress` for `NestProgressForm`: an engine's `LegacyProgress` passes through, and otherwise the stage and committed counts become the description. It then binds the result poses back onto the nest's own drawings. Whole-job engines throw on cancel, so the progress form hides Accept (`AllowAccept = false`) and Stop discards the run. Built-in strategies keep the existing per-plate fill path.
- **Forms/**: `MainForm` (MDI parent), `EditNestForm` (MDI child per nest), `SplitDrawingForm` (split oversized drawings into smaller pieces, launched from CadConverterForm), plus dialogs for plate editing, auto-nesting, DXF conversion, cut parameters, etc.
- **Nest defaults**: new nests load plate defaults (units, size, quadrant, part/edge spacing) from `%APPDATA%\OpenNest\defaults.json` via `OpenNest.Data.NestDefaults` — a single JSON file edited via Tools > Nest Defaults or captured from the active plate via Tools > Save Current Plate as Defaults. Loading never throws: missing/corrupt/invalid fields fall back individually (units then come from the legacy `DefaultUnit` setting). This replaces the `.nstdot` nest-template file; a set `NestTemplatePath` setting is converted to `defaults.json` once at startup and cleared. Console/Training `--template <nest>` flags are unrelated explicit inputs and remain.
- **Forms/**: `MainForm` (MDI parent), `EditNestForm` (MDI child per nest), `SplitDrawingForm` (split oversized drawings into smaller pieces, launched from CadConverterForm), `NestDefaultsForm` (persisted new-nest defaults), plus dialogs for plate editing, auto-nesting, DXF conversion, cut parameters, etc.
- **Controls/**: `PlateView` (2D plate renderer with zoom/pan, supports temporary preview parts), `DrawingListBox`, `DrawControl`, `QuadrantSelect`.
- **Actions/**: User interaction modes — `ActionSelect`, `ActionClone`, `ActionFillArea`, `ActionSelectArea`, `ActionZoomWindow`, `ActionSetSequence`, `ActionCutOff`.
- **Post-processing**: `IPostProcessor` plugin interface loaded from DLLs in a `Posts/` directory at runtime. Plugin sources live in the repository's `Posts/` folder (the solution's `PostProcessors` folder).
