What carves first Centerline text or your Pattern

[Chino]

Hi Recently I acquired the Centerline Text software. I like it.
My question is--When you have a project to carve that is composed of Centerline text and
a pattern what is going to be carved first?
I've tried it and of course I follow the screen prompts. It seems that I'm changing bits a few times before the carving begins.
Is the text going to carve first and than the pattern or pattern first and than text?
If either is the case will it hold true on a new project like this?

Raster carves (including patterns) will be the first to carve. After all rasters are carved, the other carving will be accomplished.

Centerline, which is one of the "Vector" carves can be un-nerving to watch. Do not panic as it skips around appearing to miss part of a letter, or skipping it all together. The machine is fine! It will return and complete the process. I even have projects where I have assigned an edge route and Centerline text the same V-bit, where I see the CW do part of the text and then jump to the edge route, complete it, and then return to the text and finish the work.

Cut-outs will be the last to carve.

FYI - if there is anything on the back of the board, that will be done first.
