tool library

[JohnW@Kauffman]

This has got to be simple but I'm having a major brain fart. I've set the tool library in "settings>config>files>file usage>router tool library" to use MIP_INCH.TOOLS (my tool library), but when I go to the ops manager, the tool library is still Router_INCH.TOOLS. I had this set in MR2, but can't get it right in X2. What am I missing?

 

John teh feeling stupid at the moment.

setting >> machine def >> general machine parameters >> tool library tab

Have you edited the general machine parameters in the machine def manager? There is a tab there for the Tool/Material libraries.

 

HTH,

Dang John, you beat me by 3 minutes! Guess I'll have to excercise my trigger finger a bit more.

Do you have it set in your machine def? Go to the machine definition, General Machine Parameters > Tool/material libraries tab. This overrides the config setting so you can specify a different tool library for each machine.

 

Follow this guide:

 

1. Config settings is the default for new machine definitions.

 

2. The machine def setting is the default for new machine groups.

 

3. The machine group setting is the default for new toolpaths.

 

HTH,

Robert
