Operation ordering dominance

Set the Operation Ordering on the Indexing tab of the Stock Properties dialog to determine whether the operations are ordered to reduce the number of tool changes or to reduce the number of setup changes.

• Tool Dominant — If you want the order of operations to be tool dominant across all Setups, select this option.
  Note: You must also select Minimize tool changes in the Automatic ordering options dialog for Tool Dominant to work correctly.
• Setup Dominant — If you want the order of operations to complete each Setup before moving on to another Setup, select this option. The milling ordering attributes determine the order in which operations are performed within a Setup.

  Select Generate Single Program if you want to create a single 5-axis indexed program. When this option is selected, you need only specify the simulation information for the first setup and it is used for all setups.
