Group Sequence Functions

The Group functions in the Sequence Features menu allow you to instruct Auto-Sequence to punch several different patterns in a particular order. A sequence group records the order of the tool selection. For example, you could punch some holes around a formed feature on your sheet without crossing the formed area. You can add most sequence options (with the exception of Reposition) to a group.

The Reset, Add, Insert, Remove, Undo, Punch Last Hit and Common Tool options (explained below) all function in the same manner as those in the Punch Sequence and Cut Sequence menus, with the exception that they only affect the current group. You can only create a sequence group while Sheet view is active.

Reset Group Sequence

This option functions like the Reset command on the Punch Sequence and Cut Sequence menus. It resets the current sequence group list.

Add Group Sequence

This option functions like the Add command on the Punch Sequence and Cut Sequence menus. It allows you to add a sequence to the current group.

Insert Group Sequence

This option functions like the Insert command on the Punch Sequence and Cut Sequence menus. It allows you to insert a sequence into the current group.

Remove Group Sequence

This option functions like the Remove command on the Punch Sequence and Cut Sequence menus. It allows you to remove a sequence from the current group.

Undo Group Sequence

This option functions like the Undo command on the Punch Sequence and Cut Sequence menus. It reverses the last action performed with the Add, Insert or Remove options within the current sequence group.

Punch Last Hit

This option functions like the Punch Last Hit option on the Punch Sequence menu. It allows you to select a part instance for sequencing the last tool hit within the current sequence group.

Common Tool

This option functions like the Common Tool option on the Punch Sequence menu. It allows you to sequence all the remaining patterns within a sequence group that share the same tool.
