Check clamping-area warnings when downloading a drawing
Download a drawing or machine file for a work order and see which operations fall inside the restricted clamping area.
When a CNC machine has Clamping Obstructions (its settings: areas where no machine operation may be performed, Start / End X and Y, which may use length and width), downloading its Machine Files or Drawing for a work order checks every panel against them. Each panel with operations inside an obstruction gets one row in the Postprocessing Errors list (the panel and one of its operations, e.g. 'C7.P6 (Left Panel), PGC 1'): 'Some clamping constraints not resolved. Review and configure clamping obstructions coordinates in machine settings.', severity High, conclusion 'Operations may conflict with machine clamping areas'. The list has one row per panel, not one per operation.
A clamping conflict shows only in the Postprocessing Errors list of the download (the panel and one of its operations, e.g. 'C7.P6 (Left Panel), PGC 1'). The downloaded drawing PDF does not mark it: with an obstruction over the whole panel, the consolidated drawing was the same as the drawing without obstructions. Use the panel and operation named in the list to find the operation in the drawing, which names each panel and draws its X / Y axes and operations.
The warning is informational and does not block the download.
