See also: Defining/Editing a Machining Sequence
A machining sequence is a set of machining information for an EdgeCAM part. Depending on the environment, it specifies the:
machine tool (the Code Generator to be used to provide machining commands and to create CNC code from the instruction list)
machine datum for the machine tool
axis system being used
turret configurations
machine tool specific functions available (added to the M-Functions menu)
units to be used in the CNC output
sequential list of machining instructions and/or operations.
If a part has been saved, the default sequence is the sequence in use when the part was saved. This sequence is used for the part at the start of a new Manufacture session.
A new sequence can be defined at any time in Manufacture using the New Sequence command.
An existing sequence can be selected using the command Select Sequence (File menu).
