Ordering

You can use a single feature to machine multiple curves if they are at the same height and do not intersect. For features with multiple curves, use this section to control the order in which the curves are machined:

• FeatureCAM controlled — Select this option to enable FeatureCAM to determine the machining order of the curves, starting with the first in the list. This order is not affected by the options in the Automatic Ordering Options dialog.
• Manual ordering — Select this option to machine the curves in the order they are displayed in this dialog. You can change the order by selecting a curve in the list and using the Move item up and Move item down buttons. To sort the features in the list, click Sorting and use the Curve Sorting Options dialog.
