Lock

This function allows the user to keep selected operations together.  When operations are locked, the order in which they appear cannot be modified.  On the other hand, the block constituting these operations can be located anywhere in the machining route sheet.  An automatic sorting operation always puts locked operations’ blocks at the end of the route sheet.  Therefore, the user must move these blocks and give them a location appropriate to their route sheet.

In the sorting out operations’ tree, locked operations are always indicated by a vertical black line, starting from the first operation and finishing at the last one.
