The
Op List
tab in the
Results window shows all of the operations needed to machine the features. A yellow warning
sign next to an operation indicates a potential problem with that operation. In this case, if you see any warnings ignore them.
You can control the automatic ordering of operations by using either rules or operation templates. The 2.5D Milling tutorial looks at using rules.
This section changes the automatic ordering by modifying the Turn Operation template.
To modify the template
- Select the Automatic Ordering option on the Op List tab. This ensures the automatic ordering rules are applied to the operations.
- Change the automatic ordering to group together the operations which use the same tool.
