Piece Mark Shows 1 instead of the Part Mark on the DSTV file

When I import a DSTV File into the Shop interface the Part Position and the Phase appear in the incorrect fields. How do I modify the DSTV file to correct this?

The DSTV file has lines at the top of the file that contains all the information about the part. The order of the lines of information is set to be in a specific order according to the DSTV Standard Format. The order the shop machine software reads these lines might be different than the default.

Steps to Rearrange Header Lines

1.  On the File menu, click Export> NC Files. 
2. Click the Header Button.

3. The NC File Header Information dialog will appear showing all the Elements being exported to the Header. Select the element for Piece identification.
4. Click the Move up button. This will move the Piece identification above the Phase identification basically swapping the two Elements.

5. Click OK when finished to close the dialog box.
6. Create NC files as normal.
