This will post one operation at a time. Select the operation or operations in a single macro to post and select the post option. The post window will then appear. If more then one operation has been selected they will all show up in the post window. Post Optimized
Using this post option allows the user to make a standard order to have the programs posted. For example, the user can always have the the helical first, the center drill second, and so on, but it will repick the order of the program in the macro window first. The optimized will not take effect until the OK button has been selected. The order that the programs are in the post window is not the way they will be posted. It will optimize all tools or operations that have been setup first.
This is how to setup an optimize file order. Click on the reference to post and then select Post Optimize and the Optimized post window will appear, as shown below.

Choose the Post Processor file for the machine, and in the top center the Optimize Edit button will be displayed. When the edit button is selected it will prompt another window to appear. In this window setup the preferences on the way the programs should be posted.
