Tools > Set Offset Increment (F5) and Set Rotation Increment (F6) open
the WinForms SetValueForm's dialog: an "Increment :" box shown with
four decimals and a Set button that Enter also presses; Esc or closing
the window changes nothing.
- The offset dialog has the "Calculated distance (selection size +
part spacing)" check box, which turns the value box off; with it on,
arrow keys step the selection by its size plus the part spacing.
- The rotation increment goes up to 360 degrees; Shift+wheel turns by
it and Ctrl+Shift+wheel by a tenth of it.
- A typed value out of range is taken to the nearest limit and an
emptied box keeps the last value it held, as in WinForms.
Each nest keeps its own increments for the session, starting at 10, as
each WinForms nest window does; they are not saved. With no nest open
both commands are off (WinForms hides them).
The plate view edits the selection through the shared PlateEdits and
Select tool, recording each edit in its nest tab's undo history under
the WinForms labels:
- Delete (with any modifiers) removes the selected parts and cut-offs.
- Arrow keys nudge by 10; repeated nudges undo as one Nudge.
- Shift+arrows, X, Shift+X, Shift+Y and Y push to contact (Ctrl+X does
nothing until Cut comes with the place tool).
- A middle click (moved under 5 px) turns the selection 90 degrees, a
double-click 180; a middle drag still pans, and a middle double-click
fits only with nothing selected.
- Shift+wheel turns it by 10 degrees per notch, Ctrl+Shift+wheel by 1,
away from the user clockwise; with nothing selected the wheel zooms.
- Dragging a selected part moves the selection as one Move; losing the
pointer mid-drag ends it there, and a middle click during the drag
turns the selection without ending it.
As in WinForms, each nest keeps a plate manager that keeps one empty
plate at the end inside the edit's own step, so deleting every part on
the last full plate undoes in one step. Each nest's cut-offs regenerate
with its own cut-off settings (saved head lock in the nest's units,
then the machine's cut-off defaults), read again before Undo or Redo
swaps a nest in. The Plates and Drawings lists rebuild after the step
closes when their counts changed, keeping the plate, zoom and
selection. While Auto Nest runs on a nest its plate takes no edits, as
the WinForms modal progress window prevents them.
PlateEdits ports the WinForms plate view's edits of the selection, with
its undo labels and coalescing: Delete (parts and cut-offs, cut-offs
regenerated once when the plate has any), Nudge by the offset increment
or one repeat step, Push to contact, Rotate about the selection's
centre keeping its lower-left corner (a quarter turn, or by wheel
notches at 10 degrees or a tenth of that), repeated nudges and wheel
turns undoing as one step.
The Select tool drags the selection as one Move step. Cut-offs
regenerate when a drag actually moved parts (WinForms also does it on a
plain click, adding an extra undo step); the regeneration runs before
the step completes, so a failure rolls the drag back, and a view that
loses the pointer mid-drag ends the move as a release would, keeping
the selection.
A plate tool host now has to supply its undo wiring, the nest's cut-off
settings and an edits lock (WinForms EditsLocked): while locked no edit
runs and no press selects or starts a move.
Once the main window opens, the Avalonia app runs the shared start-up
steps as the WinForms main window does on load: a legacy nest template
(NestTemplatePath) becomes the nest defaults file, and Tools > Options >
Create a new nest on startup (on unless turned off) opens a new nest,
which until now that checkbox only saved.
A failed template conversion shows the WinForms "Nest Template" warning
through the queue the load warnings use; the new nest opens only once
every queued warning has closed. File > New's "Nest Defaults" warning
now goes through the same queue, so it never stacks on a load warning,
and the queue stops once the window closes. New beside WinForms, which
takes no nest paths on its command line and converts synchronously: no
new nest is added when a nest is already open by then (named on the
command line, or opened or dropped while the template converted), start-
up stops when the window closes (checked again just before the nest
number is taken) or asks about unsaved nests meanwhile, and --snapshot
runs neither step, so an unattended render changes no settings and takes
no nest number.
DesktopStartup holds the WinForms main window's start-up steps in its
order for the Avalonia app: first the one-time conversion of the legacy
nest template into the nest defaults file, then whether Tools > Options >
Create a new nest on startup asks for a new nest.
Run reads the shared user settings but never writes them, so it can run
off the UI thread; it reports whether to clear NestTemplatePath, and
ClearTemplateSetting empties that setting alone on the caller's (UI)
thread, as the window's other settings writers run there.
Storage Mode and Tools > Options now share a server picker: a Saved
dropdown of every server this PC has used, shown as "Name — URL", with a
Name box for a note on what each one is for and a Forget button.
storage.json keeps the list as `servers`; setting a server adds or
renames its entry, and an existing install lists its current server
unnamed on first load.

The dimension line gap, leader clearance and shoulder, and a dragged

Dragging a Shape Library leader on a bolt circle, hole or corner arc now

bolt circle is drawn dashed in teal instead of dotted orange, which read

The plate view routes left and right clicks to the shared Select tool,
draws the selection, the blue/green selection window and selected
cut-offs as WinForms does, pans with a middle drag and handles Escape.
Edit > Select All (Ctrl+A) is added, and the status bar shows the tool

PlateToolManager keeps one active tool with the WinForms action rules
(Escape cancels, then returns to Select, then resumes the ended tool) and
status text. SelectTool selects by click, Ctrl+click and window
(contains/intersect), takes common-line groups together and picks
cut-offs by their strokes. PlateHitTester hit-tests the shared display
geometry; PlateSelection reads and sets by part index.

File > Export Plate... and Export All Plates... write the shown plate (each
plate in turn, shown while its file is chosen; cancel or a failure stops
the rest) as DXF, the view's image, the placement list or SVG, chosen by
the picked file's extension, under the WinForms suggested names. The image
is the plate canvas drawn by its Skia painter at the screen's density, PNG
or JPEG. Plate > View in CAD writes <nest>-P<n>.dxf to the temp folder and
opens it in the system's CAD program. File > Nest Report... writes the PDF
to a private temp folder and opens it in the system's PDF viewer, which
saves and prints it (older viewed reports are removed); File > Export Nest
Report... saves it to a chosen file. Reports refuse while Auto Nest runs on
the nest and are written off the UI thread from a detached snapshot.

ExternalFileLauncher.OpenAsync waits for xdg-open or open without blocking
and explains a failed exit code (no program set up for the file type, file

the image formats are .png, .jpg and .jpeg.

Edit > Undo/Redo name the next step and follow the active tab's history;
Ctrl+Z, Ctrl+Y and Ctrl+Shift+Z undo the nest unless a text box has focus.
A restore keeps the plate, zoom, pan and selection. Auto Nest's commit is
one undo step and blocks Undo on its nest while it runs. DEBUG builds warn
about edits made outside a change scope.

Move the toolkit-neutral parts of File > Export/Export All, Plate > View

the front end, opening a file in its associated program on Windows, macOS
and Linux, the report file name check, capture with catalog density, the
machine's thickness name and saved cut-time settings, and viewed-report
temp folders. WinForms calls the shared code; its behaviour is unchanged.

NestTab starts a NestUndoRecorder once the trailing empty plate is in
place, so opening is not an edit. Modified now follows the history's save
point and unscoped edits (undoing back to the saved state clears it), and
SaveAs records an unscoped edit before marking the save point.

The pair search slid part 2 in from offsets on a 0.25 step grid, so a pair
that locks in a corner (two interlocking channels) stopped up to a step short
of the tightest fit. Each resting position is now also slid sideways, both
ways, and the new resting positions join the candidates.

Scopes, the fingerprint safety net, Undo/Redo stepping, the unsaved check,

Move the File > New rules into OpenNest.Desktop (NewNestSource): nest
defaults, the default machine with its clamps and support grid, Made By
and the year's next name, from the nest server in Database mode and the
counter both apps keep in user-settings.json otherwise. The WinForms
factory now delegates to it.
The Avalonia app opens a new nest in a tab with no file (NestTabs.Add),
off the UI thread and one at a time, and its nest view keeps an empty
last plate as the WinForms nest window does, so a new nest shows Plate 1.

The coarse bounding-box pass only stopped at obstacles whose box lay in
the push path, so a copy could drop past a neighbor beside the path and
end inside its spacing. A box push now also stops at an obstacle nearer
than the spacing to the side of the path.
A push ignores a part the copy starts on, so a settle could slide out of
that part and stop clear of it yet inside its spacing. SettlePlacement
now prefers a push order that keeps the part spacing, and a named order
that ends too close falls back to the other order.

Drawing.PartColors (a public array aliasing the active scheme's), Drawing.UseGoldenAngleColors and a non-atomic colour counter were process-global display state.

Area and the canonical angle were refreshed together only by the Program setter; an in-place program edit needed two separate calls, and UpdateArea kept a stale Area when no material was left. ProgramChanged is now the single entry point (the setter calls it), a program with no material or a null program gives Area 0, and UpdateArea/RecomputeCanonicalAngle are private.

CoreLayeringTests scans the Math and Geometry sources against the type

Its last callers were four strategy tests; they now use
PartOverlapChecker.FindOverlappingPairs, which also reports
contained and stacked parts.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.2 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The console overlap check and the MCP check_overlaps tool counted
crossing points, so a part contained in or stacked on another reported
no overlap. Both now list pairs from PartOverlapChecker.FindOverlappingPairs,
which uses the Intersects verdict and skips cut-off parts.
Plate.HasOverlappingParts stays for now: two test files outside this
change still call it.

BuildPartPerimeter swallowed every exception. It now guards a missing
program and an outline that forms no shape, and catches only geometry
failures; a null perimeter still makes a cut-off exclude the part's whole

Part.CloneAtOffset hands the copy the source's Program instance. The copy
cloned before rotating, but the source still owned the program, so rotating
the source turned the program under every tiled copy while their location
and bounds stayed put.
Program now carries a sticky SharedByParts flag that CloneAtOffset sets, and
a part copies its program before rotating when it does not own it or the
program is shared. The flag lives on the program rather than the part so a
restored cutting state, which reinstates ownership field for field, cannot
re-alias a shared program. Unrotated copies keep sharing one instance, which
the fill and overlap caches key on.
Update, ApplyLeadIns and ApplySingleLeadIn install a fresh program and now
own it, saving a needless copy on the next rotate.

Nest Info filled a blank Made By with the current user every time it

v0.8.0 documents the drawing library's Filter dialog and its Size and Holes
columns (b9fc618a), with recaptured library screenshots and a new
library-filter topic. The zip's SHA-256 was checked against the release's
published hash.

On an enclosed machine a cutout slug that tips once cut free can stand up
above the sheet and catch the enclosure door when the pallet changes. The
head already keeps off cut cutouts, so this is about clearing the door, not
the head.
Cutting Settings > Cutouts > "Slice slugs the support grid can't hold
level" (CuttingParameters.SliceTippingSlugs, off by default, saved per
machine thickness and written only when on) makes Plan Cutting cut each
such slug along the bed's contact lines (grid rows and columns, slat center
lines) before the cutout, so no piece keeps a contact and the pieces drop
between the supports. Each slice stops a kerf short of the cutout, so the
pieces stay attached until the cutout's own kerf frees them together. A
slug the bed holds level, or one on no contact, is left whole; a cutout
holding another part or another of its part's cuts is never sliced.
Slices are break cuts emitted right after the drawing's own break cuts,
pierced on themselves and led straight back to their start. The
released-contour proof now leaves out straight break cuts lying wholly
inside one of the part's closed holes, since the grid cells they free are
scrap; break cuts in material still take part. The plan fingerprint only
changes when the setting is on.

Finding a part on the nest server meant scrolling 40k drawings: the library
could only match an exact thickness or customer and knew nothing about a
drawing's size or holes. The library browser gets a Filter dialog with
inclusive ranges, and the query API takes them.
The server never parses packages and stays off IO, so the server worker now
measures each package beside its nest jobs (bounding sides, net area, closed
cutouts inside the outline) and stores the summary keyed by package hash
(schema v19). Identical geometry is measured once, an unreadable package is
recorded once instead of retried forever, and size or hole limits match only
measured drawings. Thickness ranges compare in inches across units and keep
the library's rule that a drawing saved without a thickness suits any.

ecd0bba4 removed File > Export Nest Report..., so its cancel test went

The File menu ran six output commands together with no separators, and
"Export" / "Export All" didn't say what they exported. Group them by what
they produce:
- Save Copy as .nest File... (was Export .nest...) moves next to Save As,
since it writes the nest file rather than exporting a plate.
- Export Plate... / Export All Plates... (were Export / Export All) get their
own group and the "..." their save dialogs call for.
- Nest Report... / Part Printouts... (were View ...) form a reports group.
- Storage Mode... gets its own separator above Exit.
Export Nest Report... is removed: the report viewer already has Save As
(available even without WebView2), so it was a second path to the same PDF.
Its guard and failure tests now drive the viewer path, and the atomic-write
test calls WriteNestReport directly. The Avalonia prototype's matching
command is renamed too.
