Sort Type applies to the condition when the rest material is connected to two separate features of the part, like two islands.
The material that is connected to two features of the part has two properties.
There are two areas of the material that are an equal distance from the two features.
There is a middle area of the material. A set of closed toolpaths can cut this area.
The Rest Material cut starts with the middle area. The Sort Type parameter controls how the two areas of material near the two part features are cut.
Auto
After the middle area is cut, the area next one part feature is cut. After that area is cut, the area next to the other feature is cut.
None
After the middle area is cut, SURFCAM cuts the two areas of material near the part features with the same toolpath. One tool pass cuts one area. The next tool pass cuts the other area. This cut sequence continues until both areas are cut.
