A clamp is an avoidance area, so a clamp that only partly reaches a
sheet (for example centered at 60.5" on a 60" sheet, or near the
origin) now keeps its whole 1.5" x 0.625" footprint instead of being
clipped to the sheet; clamps wholly beyond the sheet are still left
off. Job validation accepts a zone that hangs past the sheet edges and
still rejects one that does not reach the sheet at all. Both packing
lanes already block keep-outs extending past the bin; a hanging-clamp
solve through Rectangles, Irregular and Default keeps every part clear
of the whole inflated footprint.
User decision 2026-10-12, settling the plan's pending D2 question.
NestPlateStock takes an optional clamp-zone list, translated into the
placement frame exactly like WorkArea (quadrants 1-4) and detached from
caller boxes; empty input keeps stock bit-identical to before. Plate
mappings (DrawingJobMapper.FromPlate/CreatePlate, NestStockBuilder) map
zones across; materialized plates carry them for checking.
NestJobValidator rejects zones outside the sheet or duplicate ids.
RepeatedPlateGrouping and NestLayoutCheck treat clamp sets as stock
identity (C8), and the layout checker flags part material inside a zone
inflated by bottom-edge spacing with the shared spacing slack (C1/C5) -
no tolerance loosened.
