I've entered the twilight zone

Is there a quick way to reverse the order of the ops?

I wrote a program right before I went home last night, and when I opened it this morning all of my operations had been reversed. Like my op. manager had been flipped upside down. My tap was suddenly my 1st op. instead of last, and my drill is now going last. I didn't know it was possible for me to do this without dragging the ops around one at a time. I also don't know how to fix it with out dragging the ops.

In the mean time I'm going to keep my eye out for Rod Sterling.

Yes there is...

 

Sort ascending/descending tool number, by creation, diameter you name it.

Go into the ops manager and right click. From there you can choose sort. This give you many options for how you want set-up your operation orders. One of the options is by creation order. Give this a try. I use sort by tool and it works great. HTH

[brilu397]

That did it!

Thanks a ton, I hadn't ever played with that option before. I will now though.

Curious why they flipped in the first place?

[Bruce Caulley]

I have had a file flip ops too. Lucky there were only about 20 at the time. The job ended up with over 100.

Bruce is this a bug?

I have not seen this.

Has it been sent to QC?

[Bruce Caulley]

I didn't think much of it at the time David as I wasn't 100% sure I hadn't stuffed something up myself while copying and moving some ops around. Now that brilu has seen the same thing I am 99.9% sure it wasn't me. Now that I am more familiar with X's qirks and the red arrow, if I see it again I will report it.

I could be mistaken here, but it SEEMS like I had once copied an op and pasted to discover that all the ops had been selected. The new pasted ops were in reverse order, so deleting the original ops instead of the new ones would have left them reversed.

 

Did you have something like that happen?

[SLJ]

Just saw this. I had a similar problem last week. Had about 18-20 ops programed and got out to work on something else. When I came back, the ops were messed up. Most were reversed, but a couple were in random order. Still not convinced it wasn't something I did, but with others getting similar effects, it's starting to look like there could be a problem.

[beej]

I've had the same problem as SLJ too. some reversed and some in random order. but it happened when I cut and pasted.

[daved]

I had the same thing. Thought I did something wrong. Pain in the a$$ to fix not knowing about the sort feature.

While we are on the subject of twilite zone, anyone else have this cool screensaver effect? Press Ctrl End.
