      <p class="para_topic">You can use the Method View to analyze the situation and decide if it is arranged in the most efficient way. In the Method View the system displays the operations grouped together according to their machining method (rough, finish, semi-finish). This organization makes it easy to manipulate the method choice within the operations. Be sure to always check how the changes you have made in any view affect the Program Order View as this is the view that contains the sequence of operations. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">Use this view to change the method information for several operations at once. For example, to change the cut color for all Mill-Rough operations, edit the Mill_Rough Method, and change the display options. Now all the operations in that method inherit the new colors. This is easier than changing the display options in each operation. </p>
