Modify Layer Order

Post by +Jan+ »

I currently have a rather complicated Milling file with about 20 layers.
I export the DXF file from Rhino 5 and import into Sheetcam.
The layer order is no longer the same as Rhinos after import into Sheetcam. The main problem definitely comes from Rhino export. As far as I can see in the DXF with a file editor, the layers are also there not in the desired order.
This is annoying but would still be ok if I could arrange the layer order in Sheetcam again. Is there an option hidden somewhere? In the layer tool, I can only disable individual layers.
Currently, the assignment of the individual operations is absolutely confusing.

greetings

I don't think you'll need to re-order the layers. Let me explain.

When you create an operation, you select the layer to work with. So if you have say 3 layers, you create 3 separate operations, 1 for each layer.

THEN you can drag the operations up or down to change the order in which they are done.

Just double checked and it works perfect.

That`s how I´ve done this in the past, but with 20 or 30 Operations this is not very comfortable and clear.
