How to Edit Tools in Tool Library X

[Bill L.]

I am havnig trouble figuring out how to edit existing tools in the tool library.

MC9 had an NC Utilites function that allowed the user to modify tool parameters in a given tool library.

Where is that feature found in X?

I need the change to be in the library and not the local tool list

If you go into files from your machine group you can access your tool library and save any changes to your library that will be saved.

Bill,

 

All done using the new Tool Manager.

You can access it like jmparis says..

 

Machine Group properties, then click the '!' to the right of the Tool Library item listed near the middle of the Files tab page.

...OR...

From within any Toolpath parameters dialog.

Right click in the white tool list area and on the popup menu select Tool Manager.

...OR...

Without need to create anything (Machine Group or Toolpath)

Select the Toolpaths (main menu) and near the bottom is Tool Manager.

 

Once you have the Tool Manager up, the default view is Part (local) tools in the top pane and the Library tools in the lower pane.
