Lathe X4 Tool Geometry file save

[H2OFWLR]

I'm going from V9 to X4. In lathe version 9 on the tool parameters page, I right click on a tool and hit draw tool. I can then FILE SAVE or LEVEL SAVE. This was an easy way for custom tool editing. I can't seem to find where to do this in X4. After hitting draw tool in X4, can I save the geometry?

 

Thank you. (long time listener here, 1st time caller)

In X4, when you right-click on the tool in the library, you get a drop-down menu and toward the bottom fo this is "save geometry to level" and "save geometry to file".

 

HTH, (Thanks for calling)

good question. I had never noticed that feature in V9, but looking at X3/4, I do not see a way to do this.

I knew it had to be there somewhere.

Thanks. There's a bit of a learning curve from 9 to X4. We purchase all the X versions with maintenance and have not used it. It is now or never and I'm finally making the switch. I have a little more time now to learn it than I did back then. It does have many great features. (and a few issues with lathe)
