Copy Drills from Mill tool Library to Lathe Library

[Tinger]

Is there a simple way to copy existing/defined drills in a mill library to a lathe library?

I think the easiest would be through the tool manager,  open lathe - open tool manager - open a mill tool library through bottom window

Copy tools from library to machine group. Open new library/lathe library - copy from machine group to library.

I do this from time to time programming for both mill and lathe.

When I do this, the mill tool library is blank:

It would appear that tools defined in Mill can only be managed in the Mill Tool Manager, which will require a Mill licence in addition to a Lathe licence.

Curiously though, I noted that - unless I've made a real mess of my tool libraries - the lathe_mm.tooldb has the full default list of milling tools if it is opened in the Mill tool manager!  Has the lathe tool library always been like that?  I hadn't noticed before in the last 25 years
