You can reorder the toolpaths in an NC Program using various reordering options. The reordering options consider any toolpath dependencies so that a toolpath is never placed above its reference toolpath. For example, if you sort by tool number, a rest roughing toolpath is always below its corresponding area clearance toolpath, even if the tool number dictates otherwise.
Select an option from the NC Program tab > Edit panel > Reorder menu:
-
By Tool Number — Select to sort the toolpaths by their tool number and place the toolpath with the smallest tool number first.
-
By Tool Diameter — Select to sort the toolpaths by their tool diameter and place the toolpath with the largest tool diameter first.
-
By Workplane — Select to sort the toolpaths by their workplane Z axis and place the toolpaths with the Z axis most closely aligned to the global coordinate system first.
-
Undo — Select to revert the last change to the toolpath order.
