Operators reading a printed nest report could not see where the machine
clamps sit or which ones must be pulled before cutting, and had no way to
measure positions off the layout. Plate diagrams now draw active clamps as
hatched rectangles (labels keep clear of them) and removed rail clamps as
dashed, crossed-out rectangles over the parts, with a legend line only on
plates that have clamps. A horizontal ruler below and a vertical ruler left
of the drawing read the sheet's plate coordinates in job units; the
diagram is fitted in two passes so the ruler bands match their numbers,
and part labels never enter them. Rulers draw as their own content stream
so the diagram stream holds only the sheet and what is on it.
