When this registry entry is set to TRUE (1), Optimize Path sorts features solely based on distance and the time penalty for tip changes as specified by the Penalty_MIP, Penalty_PH10, and Penalty_WRIST registry entries. Dimensions are moved based on the value for the InsertDimensions registry entry, and constructed features are always inserted as soon as possible.
When this value is set to FALSE (0), and the tip change penalty is NOT set to 0.0, Optimize Path does not sort the features. However, features are still grouped together by tip in order to minimize tip changes. Dimensions are moved based on the "InsertDimensions" setting, and constructed features are always inserted as soon as possible.
When this value is set to FALSE (0), and the tip change penalty IS set to 0.0, Optimize Path does not sort the features, and features are NOT grouped by tip. Additionally, dimensions and constructed features are not moved. Basically, all that is done in this case is to assign tips to features (when the AddTips registry entry is set to TRUE (1)). No commands are moved.
