Need Help!- My G Code Posting isn't in order

[nfrees114]

So I have tool pathed my whole part and computed everything. then realized i wanted a finish pass on an o-ring groove that i programmed earlier. well i went in and put in a finish pass. i clicked on the tool path according to the tool used so that it would do the finish pass while it had that tool doing other work. well for some reason it put the finish pass of this o-ring groove at the end of the program. now it does the 1/8" end mill work then does a Drill, tap and then pulls the 1/8" tool again to do the finish pass. what i was wondering is there any way to re-arrange the order of the program and then re-post it, other than clicking on the "arrange by tool" and "arrange by feature" buttons?

Thanks!

You can drag them in order in the cam tree. Drag top down if the top one doesnt shift if you drag bottom up. Also, when you create the feature, create it from the previous feature and not the Milling Stock pick.

Ok I understand what you're saying. the problem i have is, isn't the finish pass inside the feature? I have the O Ring Groove feature above the tap drill and such. and it does the o ring groove before the tap drill but it does the finish pass afterwords. It's kinda odd if you ask me. I'll play around with it though and see what i can figure out.

Sounds like its doing all the roughing tools then the finish tools. Make a change in your machine order under CAM Part-Milling Tools-Part and see how it posts.
