Corrupted tools

Alright, I've never seen this before.

I'm working on a big mold file and when I try to open it in a new Mastercam window it tells me I have a whole bunch of corrupted tools.

Any idea what might have caused it?

Is there any way to recover it?

TIA.

I have sent the tooldb to CNC and they have been able to fix it. The other thing is try making a new machine group in the file and copy the operations from group into the new group and see if that works. I have saved the tools out into a new tooldb and opened that up before and that has fixed it the couple times i have run into this over the years. Maybe had this happened 5 time in the last 10 years.

I have gotten this from older files that I have opened in 2017 and higher.  Releases before 2017 had a habit of having to be repaired a lot, and I think this was because of tools and tooldb that got corrupted over time.  Sometimes still, when I open a file that my coworker made, I still have to replace a certain 3/4" end mill in his file with one from my tooldb in order to get it to work.

I get them also. I just hit no and have had no issues. They either fix themselves or it's a false alarm.

The tool paths seem to work just fine so I'm not sure what's corrupted about them. It's just an annoyance I guess.

This is what I did and it fixed the annoying error message.

Thanks for all the replies! :cheers:
