X7 tool DB help

[Rick Henrickson The Boeing Co.]

we have one machine that needs the build up of tool, holder, and knuckle. Machine does not use tip control!

 

I made a tool in the mcam file itself with the holder and it post fine.

 

when I select a tool I created in the tool manager (and use tool DB) it is not adding the extension length I added in.

 

I need the full buildup of the holder to post correctly.

 

any help would be appreciated, Thanks

Do not use them they are not working correctly. Need to use the Overall length in the tool for posting. Can change the length for the holder, but for posting will need the Overall length from the tool. Yeah I know what even bother to have the tool db if it is not working correctly. With time it should all flow like it is supposed to.

Do you know how to build a custom holder then? and will it make the overall come out right?
