    Grouping Operations

    Hello,
    Is there a way to better organize the operations? For instance if you have more than one coordinate system on the same part (different setups on the machine) is there a way to group them in perhaps a folder or some other way? It can get real confusing when you have a complex part with many different setups.

    Thanks

    Use the Split and Machine Setup functions (right click after you have highlighted a job in the Job Tree to see these functions). Split will force the creation of separate G code files and Machine Setup allows for different MAC's to be used together with different fixture setups.

    Re: Grouping Operations

    Thank you sir, I figured there had to be a way. It would be nice if I could add a split before the first OP so I can group all of the first OP together. This will work just fine though. Thanks again.
