      <p class="para_topic">As described in the previous sections, the setup can be seen from four different views in the Operation Navigator: Program Order, Method, Geometry, and Tool. &nbsp;Most NC programmers tend to think of machining data in some combination of these views (possibly at different times). When you switch from one view to another, for example, from the Program Order View to the Tool View, you are viewing the same set of operations grouped together based on different information.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">In each view, columns can be displayed in the Operation Navigator to show the three other parent groups of each operation. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">Having different views not only allows you to view and plan all the operations while you are creating the NC Program, but after the operations are created, you can go back and edit them in any of the views. These two steps, planning and editing, are described below for each of the views. Note that for the Program Order View, the explanation is combined.</p>
