Group operations using folders reference

Create separate folders for each group of operations.

Manufacture > Setup > New Folder

Unlike setups, folders do not affect the operations that they contain, but are useful for grouping operations. For example, a common scenario is to create separate folders for roughing, semi-finishing, and finishing operations.

Operations organised in groups. An expanded folder displays the operations within it.

• In the Browser, select a number of operations, holding either the Shift or Ctrl keys while clicking on them. Then, right-click one of them and choose Add to New Folder from the context menu.
• In the Browser, right-click the Setup node and choose New Folder from the context menu.

New operations are added to the active folder or setup. If you want to add operations to a different folder or setup, you can activate them by clicking the radio button next to them in the Browser.

If you just want to add an operation to a specific folder quickly, right-click a specific folder and choose New Operation. This will add the new operation(s) to the focused folder rather than the active folder.
