- Add Drawing.HasCustomColor, set when a color is picked in Drawing
Properties or comes from a library record with a stored color.
- Persist it as customColor in .nest files (omitted when false) and keep it
out of drawing packages; split pieces inherit it.
- Recolor non-custom drawings from the active palette when a nest opens and
when the scheme changes; custom colors keep their palette slot.
- Library settings store a color only when it is custom.
- Document drawing colors in nest-file-format.md and nesting-view-colors.md.

Select entities in the CAD converter (click, or drag a window/crossing
box) and right-click to exclude/include them or set them to cut, etch or
display only, regardless of their DXF layer. Delete excludes the
selection.
Roles are stored per source entity on the drawing and persisted in the
entity set as an optional `roles` map. Display-only geometry is kept out
of the program, so posts, nesting and verification never see it; placed
parts draw it as a dashed overlay. Load-time scribe repair skips
etch-layer entities set to cut. Per-entity exclusions now survive filter
changes.

A hole can now be declared a tabbed cutout in the CAD Converter: pick a
circle or any edge of a closed hole, set the tab count and width, and drag
the tabs around the hole. The definition persists on the drawing and in the
nest file, and stays editable from the source entities.
The builder replaces the hole with open cut pieces and uncut spans on a new
Tab layer. Tabs are material, so area, nesting and overlap checks still see
a closed hole, but they are never cut. Plan Cutting and Assign Lead-ins cut
each piece from the slug with the internal lead-in and no lead-out. A lead
that would reach back over a tab is mirrored, and an arc lead onto an arc
pierces straight in. Planning accounts for each span between tabs and runs
the open-cut proof, so its own tabbed cutouts certify; tabs followed by a
lead-out are still refused. Pre-post review flags programs that still
contain tab motions.

Schema v5 stores each distinct drawing package once in drawing_packages,
keyed by SHA-256; revisions point at it, so details, settings, archive and
restore revisions add no blob. The v4 drawing tables are replaced outright
(no production library existed); nest tables are untouched.
Nesting settings (cut first, priority, rotation constraints, color) become
structured record fields (DrawingLibraryRecord.Settings), returned on every
read, filterable by cutFirst, editable through the metadata endpoint and
applied by LibraryDrawingInsert. Canonical packages now leave every
record-owned field at its default, so renaming or changing settings never
changes the package hash. Saving a nest drawing to the library carries its
settings into the record.
The desktop library browser gains a Cut first column and an Edit Settings
dialog that saves notes and settings as a new revision with the same package.

Drawings flagged CutFirst (e.g. test squares) are sequenced ahead of
every other part: they get their own route with the chosen method, then
the remaining parts follow. Cutoffs crossing a cut-first part still
precede it. The flag is editable in Edit Drawing, persists in .nest as
`cutFirst` (omitted when false) and is kept by split pieces.

Breakoffs are now picked by their joining line, default to the smaller side as scrap
(flippable), and cut that line between tabs on a new Break layer instead of slots.
Plan Cutting and Assign Lead-ins enter each cut from the scrap with the nest's internal
lead-in, or pierce on the line without one; checks treat break cuts as intentional open
cuts that are not material.

Forming backgauge tabs drawn as open cuts came off the sheet loose and could not be
planned. A breakoff merges the scrap into the outline and cuts the shared edge as
closed slots between tabs, so it stays attached and every pierce lands in scrap.

Drawing cut pins and the per-placement pins-off flag now survive
save/reload and travel in drawing packages.
- `DrawingDto.cutPins` reuses the plate cutting-parameter lead and tab
DTOs. Pins are read strictly per entry: an unknown lead or tab type is
never replaced by a default, because a pin that cut differently from
what was saved is worse than no pin. A bad entry is skipped with a
reader warning naming the drawing and pin, and the rest load; a value
that is not a list loads no pins, with a warning. A nest never fails to
open over pins.
- `PartDto.drawingPinsOff` is written only when true. Anything other than
a boolean loads as pins on (the drawing wins, D1) with a warning naming
the plate and part, so an operator's override is never lost silently.
- Packages carry pins as drawing content, so pinning a drawing changes
its package hash and the newer-revision notice can tell geometry/pins
changes from detail-only ones.
- `Part.DrawingPinsOff` holds the flag; nothing plans with it yet.

A nest drawing copied from the drawing library has to remember exactly which
revision it is a copy of, so later slices can tell when the library moved on
(D2b) and so a save can target the right drawing. `Drawing.Library` holds the
server key, id, revision and a snapshot of that revision's cut type, thickness,
material, grade, units, notes and package hash. It is immutable, so copies can
share it.
`DrawingDto.library` is additive and omitted when null. It is read leniently:
anything that cannot be trusted as a link drops the link with a reader warning
and the drawing still loads, because a nest must never fail to open over
provenance. Enum names are checked as single names since Enum.TryParse would
accept numbers and comma lists.
Copy paths: converter edits update drawings in place and so keep the link;
canonical engine copies carry it; split pieces are new geometry and get none.
Packages strip it so linking never changes a drawing's package bytes or hash.

The bestfits/ archive entry was undocumented. Describe its JSON shape,
that it is an optional cache readers may ignore, and that it is read or
written only when a caller supplies an IBestFitStore.

Operators sometimes pull a clamp for a manual layout, but only Auto Nest's
last-resort search could take clamps off a sheet. Right-clicking a clamp in
Select mode now offers to remove it from that sheet or put it back, reusing
the existing per-sheet RemovedClamps, so the zones, cut-time charge, display
and .nest persistence all behave as they do for Auto Nest removals.
The change is refused while a nest run or fill may be reading the clamps,
sharing the guard the Clamps dialog already used.

PEP-converted nests stored etch marks only in each placed part's locked
cutting program; the drawing program held the contour cuts alone. Because
Remove Lead-ins rebuilds a part from its drawing, clearing lead-ins also
erased the marks from every part.
Recover the marks while reading the nest: when a drawing has no scribe
moves and every placement that kept its saved program carries the same
marks, add them to the drawing in its own frame and refresh that drawing's
clean placements. Saved programs are never rewritten, drawings that already
have marks are untouched, and drawings whose saved programs disagree are
left alone rather than guessed at.
The writer omitted an empty rail sheet when its size, quadrant and zones
matched the defaults, ignoring spacing, so a sheet left at the old part or
edge spacing after a defaults change (configured stock under C17) was
dropped on save. The comparison now includes edge and part spacing.
PM 455f6763-f0aa-40da-b9ad-11de4b2ea95b
Commit can attach the stock's rail to a sheet whose nest has no (or another)
default rail, but only the default rail was saved and the reader re-attached
sheets only to it, so the removed clamp and its time vanished on reload. A
sheet following a rail other than the default now saves it in an optional
per-plate clampRail (read leniently, omitted otherwise), and the reader
re-attaches the sheet to it.
PM 22daec3d-dabb-4aae-95f7-c1d090d5dcdf
Changing the nest defaults (Nest Info, Set as default, Edit Plate on an
empty sheet) left the editor's trailing empty sheet on the old size and
quadrant, so the writer's clamp-preserving empty-sheet rule saved it as a
stale extra sheet. PlateManager.ChangePlateDefaults wraps a defaults edit:
a trailing empty, cutoff-free sheet that exactly matched the old defaults
(and followed their rail with no removed clamps or explicit zones) takes the
new defaults; every other empty sheet keeps its configuration and is still
written.
PM cade6901-5f4a-4503-85bf-0ea681d9ca7f
Every plate was written with "removedClamps": [], so files without the
feature changed. The key is now omitted unless a clamp was removed, like
the other additive sections; nest-file-format.md documents removedClamps
and removalMinutes and their lenient reading.
PM 6ded8ac4-84fd-4e8b-9a3b-6f41e494542c item (c)
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.
The empty-plate rule drops a rail-following empty sheet only while it
still matches the plate defaults; a trailing sheet created before the
defaults changed is written. Say so instead of promising that the
editor's trailing sheet is always dropped. Comment and documentation
only; behaviour unchanged.
Delta review minor finding, Project Memory 4e5f566d.
Omit an empty clamp-carrying plate only when a new plate from the saved
defaults would recreate it: same size and quadrant and zones the saved
rail recreates. A rail-following empty sheet with another size or
quadrant is written again instead of being lost.
Read plateDefaults.clampRail through a lenient converter so a wrongly
typed rail (a string or null width, non-numeric centers, an array in
place of the object) loads as no rail while every plate's saved zones
still load, as the file format documents, instead of failing the whole
nest.
Review findings 4 and 5, Project Memory 4e5f566d.
Write the nest's machine clamp rail under plateDefaults.clampRail
(width, depth, centers) so plates created or resized after a reload
still get the clamps. The key is omitted for nests without a rail, and
a missing, empty or malformed rail loads as none while each plate's
saved zones still load.
On load a plate follows the rail again only when its saved zones are
exactly the rail's for that sheet; other zones are kept as written.
The empty-plate filter now drops an empty sheet whose zones the saved
rail recreates, so the editor's trailing empty sheet is not written
for every clamped nest; empty sheets with other zones are still kept.
Add the additive per-plate clamps array (id, x, y, length, width) to the
nest DTO with writer and reader support. Files without the key load with
zero zones; an individually malformed entry is dropped while the rest of
the nest loads. A plate carrying only clamp definitions now survives the
writer's empty-plate filter; genuinely empty plates remain omitted.
Format documented in docs/nest-file-format.md.
Add NestStatus (Quote/ToBeCut/HasBeenCut) plus MadeBy on Nest, written as
additive camelCase nest.json fields with PascalCase enum strings matching
the units convention. Legacy files and unknown status values fall back to
Quote. The nest info dialog gains a Status dropdown and Made By box.
