    picking drill points in Mcam4

    When I pick circles to drill, I use the entities search
    option, with sorting turned off. I want the order of the drilling to be in the same order that I pick them, but Mcam seems to decide on it's own order. How can I change this?

    mastercam selects the points in the order they were created. you have to physically resort them in the order you want.
    If you can ENVISION it I can make it

    thanks for the reply. I'm used to Mcam 9, got a new job, and a newer program. Can you explain how to do this? So far, it's been my only big problem, altho I still kinda wish I was using good ole 9!
