Now, how weird is this, it is in fact changing the order but because there are somehow duplicate toolpaths when you move a toolpath in the browser up or down it seems to be the one lower down the order in the code that does move.

Why there are duplicate toolpaths I have no idea, they don`t appear in the browser, not that I can see anyway, needs someone with a lot more knowhow than I have to answer that one :disappointed_face: :disappointed_face:

 

What I have done in the meantime to maybe help you out is to re-create your toolpaths on a new "clean" model and everything works the way I think it should, I have only done the one side as the second side seemed OK and I will leave you to re-do that side :slightly_smiling_face:

 

Hope this is of some help to you, if you know why you have all the duplicate toolpaths and are able to get rid of them at your end then that would probably fix your problem :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face: :slightly_smiling_face:

Modified file attached.

You have 2 setups, one for under the part, one for the top.  I posted a few different ways:

-posting the 1st setup, the tools output in correct order, only once per tool.

-you have multiple WCS offsets turned on, so it outputs the code for 2 parts, without calling the same tool twice, which is how you set it, this seems correct.

-Posting all setups at the same time, then yes the tool come back for the 2nd setup.  It will not jump over tools to avoid outputting a tools twice.  For example, in the setup 1, the tool order is T1-3-2-4-8-5-6-7.

2nd setup: T8-7-1-2-6

So it will not do 1st setup T1 then 2nd setup T1, because in the 2nd setup T8 and T7 need to be done before T1, if you see what I mean.  If in the 2nd setup T1 was the 1st tool to run, then yes, it would output T1 only once and run it in both setups in a row (I tried it and it works as expected).
