Change the Order of Execution

When you export a project to an AeroScript or an AeroBasic motion program, CADFusion puts groups and shapes into the program in the same order that they show in the Project pane, from top to bottom.

Use the procedures that follow to change the order of execution of groups, shapes, and entities. As part of the order of execution, you can also exclude shapes from the export process.

You can quickly highlight the shapes and entities in your drawing to simulate the order of execution. To do this, use one of the procedures that follow.

When you change the order of execution, it may be necessary to explode and combine shapes and entities to get the results you want. Refer to Explode Shapes and Combine Shapes.
