Maybe i am using the wrong terminology. When you enter in a dxf file
in EMC with say 10 holes on a plate. You tell the program what
tools you are going to use to make the hole, like a drill bit and its
diameter. At a certain point before the Gcode file is generated the
tool path should be displayed showing the order the 10 holes will be
drilled. At this point you should be able to edit this "tool path"
if you want to drill the holes in the order you want.

I would like to see what the general EMC user screen looks like and
the 2D tool path screen. Plus the screen with the 3D backplot
utility would be nice.

For the format either JPG or GIF would be nice. Somthing to show the
colors,if any used.

Thank you very much:
