Next you will sort the holes in a variety of ways to determine which hole pattern produces the
shortest possible toolpath.
• Manual Sorting arranges the holes in the same sequence they were created or, if holes were
selected using the Single option on the Select menu, in the same sequence the holes were
selected.
• Shortest Distance arranges holes by the shortest total distance.
• Orthogonal Sorting arranges holes vertically and horizontally according to the Bidirectional and
Use Band Widths options.
• Reverse Direction reverses the order of the hole pattern after a tool change. Otherwise, the
hole pattern is drilled in the same order each time. This setting only applies when multiple tools
are used.
