      <p class="para_topic">The Operation Navigator is continually displayed in one of four different views: the Machining Method view, Program Order view, Machine Tool view, or Geometry view. Each view organizes the same set of operations according to the theme of the view. In addition, each view shows the relationship between the operations and the organizational groups that are particular to that view.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">You can easily switch from one view of the Operation Navigator to another by choosing one of the icons in the main menu bar. The Operation Navigator icon is a toggle that displays and hides the Operation Navigator.</p>
