Machining order (by depth or by contours)

When machining multiple contours in several passes, two options exist for controlling the order of depth machining. When machining by depth, after completion of the first pass along the first contour the system then performs execution of the first pass along the next contour. The execution of the second pass is performed after all contours have been machined. When machining by contours, the system first performs all passes along the first contour, then all passes along the second contour etc.
