AutoCAD to Alphacam - Object Order

[madcadder]

One thing I have noticed with programming Alphacam from an AuotCAD drawing is...
When I cross several geometries to all get cut with the same tool it orders the cuts by "first to last" as the objects were drawn in AutoCAD.
I can change the order of operations in Alphacam, but by doing so I can change a 2 page report into and 8-10-12 page report, which isn't acceptable.

Is there a way to change the order of objects in the AutoCAD database, so that I can fake the DWG into thinking one line was drawn before another in the file???

I think using WBLOCK to create a new file is probably the simplest option. I believe the order of selecting objects will carry over to the new drawing, but I could be wrong.

That's a good idea. I will have to try that on a simple design to see if it works.
