Plan Cutting is now the only automatic lead-in assignment, and parts the support grid cannot hold level are reported wherever they lack a steadying tab. - Remove Assign Lead-ins (plate and nest), LeadInAssigner, the lead-in tool's Auto-Assign button and the Auto Tab size range; old settings with autoTab sizes still load - Manual Place Lead-in tabs the clicked entry when support tabs are on and the grid cannot hold the part (SupportTabSettings) - New PartSupport finding: Plan Cutting replay and best-effort plans warn when a drawing pin, a lead-in that does not fit or no single tab leaves a part unsteady; the pre-post review checks each placed program's outside tab gap. These warnings replace the advisory weak-tab notes; only the inside-corner tab note stays advisory, and never for a pin - Pinned perimeters keep their pin but carry the support analysis - Draw grid points as pixel-snapped squares without anti-aliasing - Post fixtures build lead-ins through a test-only TestLeadIns helper - Docs: support tabs, pre-post verification and planner notes Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Breakoffs
|
|
|
|
A breakoff is scrap drawn on a part, such as a forming backgauge tab, that must stay
|
|
attached through cutting and forming and is snapped off afterwards. In the CAD
|
|
Converter's **Breakoffs** panel, **Add Breakoff**, then click the line that joins the
|
|
part and the scrap. Lines or arcs that end partway along another visible line or arc
|
|
first split it there (the first piece keeps its entity ID), so a joining line can end
|
|
exactly where it meets the outline. The clicked entity then grows into the chain that
|
|
continues as a single path. Its ends must touch, within 0.001, one closed outline
|
|
drawn around both part and scrap, and the chain must run inside it: either a separate
|
|
line drawn across the outline, or a section of the part outline with the scrap's
|
|
outside edges drawn separately.
|
|
|
|
The smaller side is the scrap; **Flip** (or "Larger side is scrap" in the dialog)
|
|
swaps it. The dialog sets the tab count (both end tabs included, at least 2) and tab
|
|
width; tabs start evenly spaced and can be dragged along the joining line. Edit
|
|
re-spaces the tabs only when the count or width changes. The view shades the scrap,
|
|
draws the cuts and marks where each cut is pierced.
|
|
|
|
## Geometry contract
|
|
|
|
`BreakoffBuilder` (`OpenNest.Core/Breakoffs`) resolves each `Drawing.Breakoffs` entry
|
|
against the entities being cut:
|
|
|
|
- The two sides are the outline from one end of the joining line to the other, closed
|
|
back along the joining line. They must add up to the outline within 1%. Tab
|
|
positions are measured from the joining line's end with the smaller X (then Y).
|
|
- The outline is kept, with every joint snapped exact (lines move their endpoint; a
|
|
short connecting line is added between arcs), because the planner closes contours within
|
|
1e-6 and the program is re-chained from any entity.
|
|
- The joining line between consecutive tabs becomes open cuts on the `Break` layer
|
|
(`LayerType.Break`, `SpecialLayers.Break`), each travelling with the scrap on its
|
|
left. The joining line itself is not cut at the tabs; end tabs keep cuts off the
|
|
outline.
|
|
|
|
## Cutting break cuts
|
|
|
|
Break cuts cut like `Cut` motions but are not material: `SpecialLayers.IsMaterial`,
|
|
material capture, overlap checks, nesting and area ignore them. `ShapeProfile` and
|
|
`ConvertGeometry` pass them through in order without re-chaining or re-winding.
|
|
|
|
Both Plan Cutting (`PreparedContours`, emitted after scribes and before contours in
|
|
every full or prefix emission, never in single-contour probes) and the manual lead-in tool
|
|
(`ContourCuttingStrategy.Apply`/`ApplySingle`) emit them through
|
|
`ContourCuttingStrategy.EmitBreakCuts`:
|
|
|
|
- Each cut is entered from its scrap side with the internal lead-in; `NoLeadIn`
|
|
pierces on the line. There is no lead-out, since the cut ends at a tab.
|
|
- It is entered at whichever end has more scrap before the part's contours along the
|
|
scrap direction (`BreakCutEntry`), because the scrap narrows to a wedge near the
|
|
outline. Entering at the far end cuts it in reverse.
|
|
|
|
Checks treat them as intentional open cuts retained by tabs: `ReleasedContourState`
|
|
never makes them rapid obstacles or "open fragment" warnings, but reports a missing
|
|
lead-in like any contour. `LeadPathValidator` lets a lead into a break cut run
|
|
through its own part's material, and still refuses one that touches any of the part's
|
|
boundaries or another part. The posts cut them: Gravograph IS maps `Break` to its cut
|
|
settings; CI Fiber and Cincinnati treat any non-lead, non-scribe layer as cut.
|
|
|
|
Breakoffs that do not resolve (hidden or missing joining line, overlapping tabs) are
|
|
listed with the reason and not applied, but stay on the drawing.
|
|
`CadImporter.BuildDrawing` applies breakoffs and copies them to the drawing;
|
|
`SourceEntities` keep the original geometry so a reopened drawing can be edited. Split
|
|
pieces get no breakoffs.
