cut priority

[MikeUSNRet]

Hi guys.

Ok, I have a table that has a cut area of 18" in Y and 37" in X

I have some cambam files that the pieces drawn are total 23" in Y and 46" in X.


layout would look like this:

   1                                   1
   1                                   1
                                                         2          2
                                                                2


3       3      3       3         3




How can I select cut priority so I can cut the #3 pieces first,  put a new piece of stock in, cut #1's then #2's?


When I generate Gcode, it does  3 3 3 1 1 3 3 3 1 1 2 2 2

The MOPs should be run in the order that they are listed in CamBam.  If you want operations to stop between sections so you can changes your work piece, maybe you can insert a tool change operation between, this should cause your control software to pause and ask for a new tool, then you can continue.

however they appear on the cut tree is the order in which they will cut. if you want to move one up or down just right click on it and select "move up" or "move down".. it will cut in any order you want that way.
