If you are experiencing odd drilling orders with Control Nesting:
While working with another customer today, we have discovered an issue with “drill bank boundaries”. The issue can cause machines with out drill banks (or machines where group drilling is not used/setup) to machine drill holes in an odd/more time consuming order. (i.e. drills 4 out of 5 holes in each group and then returns later to do the fifth hole in each group separately) If you are experiencing this issue, it can be resolved by selecting the “Settings” button, then the “Drill Bank Boundary” button in Control Nesting and checking on the option “Ignore Boundaries”. There will be a future update to Control Nesting that will detect if gang drills are not required or setup and automatically ignore boundaries.

Mark,
Load a job into Control Nesting (small one if possible) that you believe presents an ordering issue, then perform an export. Attach the export file here and I will see if I can reproduce it. You will need to zip the file to attach it to this forum.

here is a job i am running right now. if you go to sheet 24 and 25 which are full of upper gables, it will drill all the 5mm holes fine, but will then drill 1 8mm hole at the top and bottom of each gable before returning to drill the rest of the holes around them. it certainly is not drilling them in order of which is closest or anything. as i said, this has been a problem here since day 1.
