You mean you make a custom tool by drawing the geo?

Tin, are you trying to turn off the holder during back plotting or verifying the part?  You mentioned you created a tool.  You can't CREATE a tool with a holder unless it is an undefined custom tool.  In that case, you must delete the holder geometry on your custom tool part file.  You may ASSIGN a tool holder within a toolpath for visual and collision checking purposes.   The tool holder has no effect when crunching the code unless you have collision checking turned on in the High Speed Surfacing Toolpaths.  You're not getting many responses to this thread because we don't understand what you want to do.  Get back to us with more information or perhaps attach a screen shot regarding the issue.

Never mind guys. I figured it out.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.

I used the holder from mastercam library holder (HSK1000A.Holders). after i deleted it, it keep coming back.

mAY BE WHEN YOU SAVED YOU HAVE NOT PAID ATTENTION AND SAVED IT IN DEFAULT  holder library ?
and now you need to delete from there ,
But why to delete at all ?
Click on the holders with right click ,select new holder and do not select anything
now  you will have a tool without holder

"Click on the holders with right click ,select new holder and do not select anything"

It worked!!!
Thanks for the tip.

You are welcome !

By using the right click I have managed to remove tool holder, but after every re-generation i get error "Tool assembly has been modified" and makes other toolpaths with same tool dirty.
I have 400 tpaths in this job and has become a nightmare, any way to eliminate this problem?

That stupid warning pops up all the time even though I haven't touched the holder....  Can someone from CNC comment on how this was structured and is supposed to work.  Might give some of us some insight as to how to use this properly so we don't run into the dirty ops problem, which I might add is very annoying...

I simply neglect this message
I close the pop up window using X button .
I think it is a bug

True .
it can be coolant conditions changed or RPM

Well, just please becareful with this guys. You should double check all of dirty operations after you regenerate it because your 1/2 end mill may become a drill or 1/4 end mill or something esle now.
