trim. Also replaces blind Take(N) in DefaultNestEngine.Fill.

Add drawing dropdown to switch between drawings without reopening the
form. Change color scheme to light backgrounds with blue/red part fills
and auto-detect text color. Fix swapped bounding box width/length. Run
best-fit computation on a background thread so the UI stays responsive
during long calculations, with cancellation on drawing switch.

Add third row (5x3 grid, 15 items/page), remove 50-result cap so all
candidates are pageable, start maximized, replace page label with
editable textbox for direct page entry, center nav controls, and
eliminate flicker on page change via DoubleBuffered + WM_SETREDRAW.

CloneAtOffset shares the Program instance for tiling performance,
but rotating a part on the plate mutated the shared Program, causing
all parts from the same tile template to rotate together.
Added ownsProgram flag with EnsureOwnedProgram() that clones the
Program before first mutation, preserving tiling performance while
making user rotations independent.

The documented entries (info.json, drawing-info.json, plate-info.json,
plate-NNN) were from the old v1 format. Updated to reflect the actual v2
structure: nest.json, programs/program-N, and bestfits/bestfit-N.

PairFiller now returns PairFillResult (Parts + BestFits) instead of
using a mutable BestFits property. Extracted EvaluateCandidates,
TryReduceWorkArea, and BuildTilingAngles for clarity. Simplified the
candidate loop by leveraging FillScore comparison semantics.
Removed FillRemainingStrip and all its helpers (FindPlacedEdge,
BuildRemainingStrip, BuildRotationSet, FindBestFill, TryFewerRows,
RemainderPatterns) from FillLinear — these were a major bottleneck in
strip nesting, running expensive fills on undersized remnant strips.
ShrinkFiller + RemnantFiller already handle space optimization, making
the remainder strip fill redundant.

StripNestEngine was passing progress directly to DefaultNestEngine.Fill
inside the ShrinkFiller loop, causing every per-angle/per-strategy report
to update the UI with overlapping layouts in the same work area.
Now inner fills are silent (null progress) and ShrinkFiller reports its
own progress when the best layout improves. IterativeShrinkFiller tracks
placed parts across items and includes them in reports. The trial box is
reported before the fill starts so the work area border updates immediately.

Draw only one set of preview parts at a time — active (current strategy)
takes precedence over stationary (overall best). Also clears active
parts when setting new stationary parts to prevent stale previews.

When the first pair candidate places more parts than needed (e.g., 17
when target is 10), sort by BoundingBox.Top, trim from the top until
exactly targetCount remain, and use that Top as the new work area
height. All subsequent candidates fill this smaller area, dramatically
reducing fill time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
When a target count is known, ShrinkFiller now uses FillBestFit (fast
rectangle packing) to estimate how many parts fit on the full area,
then scales the shrink axis proportionally to avoid an expensive
full-area fill. Falls back to full box if estimate is too aggressive.
Also shrinks to targetCount (not full count) to produce tighter boxes
when fewer parts are needed than the area can hold.
IterativeShrinkFiller passes NestItem.Quantity as the target count.

PairEvaluator already computes OptimalRotation via RotatingCalipers on
the pair's convex hull, but PairFiller.EvaluateCandidate only passed
hull edge angles to FillPattern. Now includes the optimal rotation
angle (and +90°) so tiling can use the mathematically tightest fit.

Both types were only used internally by the old StripNestEngine.Nest
strip-orientation logic, which has been replaced by IterativeShrinkFiller.

Replaces the old orientation-based strip nesting (TryOrientation,
SelectStripItemIndex, EstimateStripDimension, ShrinkFill helpers) with
a call to IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill for multi-quantity items, plus a
RemnantFinder-based PackArea pass for singles and leftovers.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Introduces IterativeShrinkFiller.Fill, which composes RemnantFiller and
ShrinkFiller by wrapping the caller's fill function in a closure that tries
both ShrinkAxis.Height and ShrinkAxis.Width and picks the better FillScore.
Adds IterativeShrinkResult (Parts + Leftovers). Covers null/empty inputs and
single-item placement with three passing xUnit tests.

Includes fix for unlimited qty items (Quantity <= 0) that
RemnantFiller.FillItems silently skips. Workaround: convert
to estimated max capacity before passing in.
Also removes caliper angle sections from spec — RotationAnalysis

Stateless orchestrator that takes a NestRequest and returns a NestResponse.
Imports DXFs, builds NestItems, runs the engine in a multi-plate loop until

Adds a Write(Stream) overload that writes the ZIP archive to any stream

Replace SetTemporaryParts/ClearTemporaryParts/AcceptTemporaryParts in all

The pattern bounding box already computes max(upper) - min(lower), so the
manual loop was redundant. Extract the N×N pair distance loop into a static

FillExtents vertical copy distance was not clamped, allowing rows to be

Single-part group fills now delegate to Fill(NestItem) which runs

Wraps FillExtents in an IFillStrategy, trying both bestRotation and

Add Vector-based overloads to SpatialQuery (ray casting, edge distance,
directional gap, perpendicular overlap) and PartGeometry (directional
line filtering) to support pushing parts along any angle, not just
cardinal directions.
Add Compactor.PushBoundingBox for fast coarse positioning using only
bounding box gaps. ActionClone shift+click now uses a two-phase strategy:
BB push first to skip past irregular geometry snags, then geometry push

- FillExtents.Fill reported progress internally which overwrote the UI's
temporary parts even when a better result (e.g. Pairs with 70 parts)
won the competition. Added final ReportProgress call in FindBestFill
and Fill(groupParts) to ensure the UI always shows the actual winner.
- FillExtents vertical copy distance clamp (Math.Max with pairHeight +
spacing) prevented geometry-aware compaction from ever occurring,
causing visible gaps between rows. Boundaries are already inflated by
halfSpacing so the calculated distance is correct; only fall back to
bounding-box distance on non-positive results.
- PairFiller now sets RemainderPatterns on FillLinear so remainder strips
get pair-based filling instead of only individual parts (+1 part in
tight layouts).

Replace RepeatColumns stub with real implementation: compacts a test column
left against column 1 to derive the copy distance, tiles further columns at

The Size fix (d4222db) changed Size.Width to Y axis and Size.Length to
X axis but only updated DrawPlate/LayoutViewGL. BoundingBox, WorkArea,
rotations, DXF export, and engine code still used the old Width=X
convention, causing the fill engine to get a swapped work area (60x120
instead of 120x60) and parts to fill in the wrong direction.
