Repetitive cycles - Slots

I have a part that has several slots in it. I am milling these in and have been copying the MOP for each one and replacing the geometry in each. I'm sure there is a more eficient method that I haven't learned yet. All advice greatly apriciated. Thanks.

Gregg,

Try selecting all of the slots, then create your milling MOp. It should be applied to all of the selected curves. The MOps are created in the order you selected the curves, so you can slyly avoid clamps by judicious selecting...

Thanks Dave,

I tried this and the toolkeeps jumping from slot to slot. So it creates a lot of air time. Is there a way to get it to concentrate on one slot until it is done and then move on to the next?

Gregg,

Under the cut levels tab select depth first instead of level first. This should help.
