Tool Library

[pip]

After defining my Chamfer Mill as 45° 6ømm, with a smaller diameter at the tip of the tool of 0.5ømm. I then save to tool library. When I recall the defenition for later use, the tool is upside down.. The large Diameter at the tip (6ømm) and the small diameter as the shaft. I have posted this question before but never got an answer. What am I doing wrong?

Can you take a snape shot of te screen were you defined the tool and post on the FTP so we can see how you defined the tool?

thanks J

I had the same with chamfer mill as 45° D35.1mm and tip 20mm. It's appear when I do: job setup then import from file. After some mistakes at parts I always check this type of mill.

Cadcam, by the way I cannot reach your ftp in spite of upgrade IE5.5 to IE6 and try to use cute FTP4.0

could you send me file Shark.zip for learn.

Thanks for your replys, but I was unable to get the tool library to make the same mistake. I can only assume the other programmer was writting ".5" instead of "0.5".

Again thanks for your help.
