      <p class="para_topic">Program groups enable you to group and order operations into programs. For example, all operations required to machine the top view of a Part may compose a Program group. By grouping operations, you may Output many operations at once in their proper sequence by selecting the program group and then choosing Tools&gt;Operation Navigator&gt;Output&gt;CLSF or Post Postprocess.</p>
      <p class="para_topic">The Program Order view of the Operation Navigator shows which Program group each operation belongs to and the order in which operations will be executed on the machine tool. This is the only view of the Operation Navigator in which the order of the listed operations is relevant or important. </p>
      <p class="para_topic">For more information on viewing, creating, and using Program Groups, see  <a class="links" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="top.openFile('mfggeneral/setup_prog_view.html');return(false);">Program Order View</a>.
