Tools keep duplicating!?!

[neurosis]

Is there a way to keep this from happening? When I am creating different profiles using the same tool, if I change the feed rate from one profile to another, I later look at my tool list and it has the same tool duplicated several times for each operation. Is this normal? Is there a way to get this to stop?

 

OH yes... I should add that I think that it only does this when I copy or move tool path to another tool path group

I will get the notice shown below from the tools manager when bringing into a new machine group. I then pick no when I'm asked do I wish to create another tool. I have no duplicate problems when working inside another toolpath group. Do you mean machine group?

Haha.. well, i wish that it were that easy. I am moving/copying operations into different tool path groups in the same machine group operation. That box never pops up. If it did my problems would be simple.

You also should see this when posting:

 

Multiple tools with the same tool # were found

force a tool change?

 

This occurs even if they are one after another.

 

I get the same thing in the same tool group

where I have 5-tool 2's(1/2 em say) all with

different feeds and speeds.

 

This occurs because MC gives you the option to

pick one with the feed and or speed you may want.

(i think)

 

There may be a default setting for the first tool

made and leave then multiples 'out' also.

 

But it does not affect anything accept the force

tool change pop up for me.

Neurosis,

 

if I understand you correctly, sometimes the same thing happened to me. Don't know why. Once I noticed the duplicate tools I'd delete out the extras, but then I have to regen. the files the duplicate tool was associated with. I haven't seen it since I've been using X2 MR2 SP1.

 

Oh by the way, you need to "obey" Thad's rule and put your version level in your siggy so we know where you're coming from.
