MCX 5 Tool ManAger issue TOOLS-5BUP FILE ?????

[neurosis]

I dont cut and paste anything from earlier versions of Mastercam. I always update!

 

James,

 

None of my tool libraries contain custom tools.

 

I will say this.. All of my x4 libraries were using x style coolant. Maybe Jparis is on to something.

Few of my libraries use X style coolant, mostly the ones I use for Time-Study purposes because it does not matter for that.

If some is having trouble adding tools to CONVERTED x5 tool library try doing a save-as in the tool manager and try adding tools to the new library.

 

Again Custom tool are a problem especially in Lathe.

Are you using the V9 style or the X style of coolant, perhaps that is the difference?

 

Not sure what you mean Mastercam X style coolant or Mastercam V9. I dont recall it changing.

 

My issue is not related to any custom tools. Its standard tooling i am dealing with. when I copy a tool into another folder the software thinks it is already their. but you can not see it visually.

 

Ok i may of run across a solution. I saved a copy of my main tool library as a name junk. That new tool library seems to be allowing me to copy new tools to it. So I might be able to save new copies of these tool librarys as a new name. Then move my original tool files out of that director then go back and rename my newly created junk library to my orginal name. A little more time will tell if this works?
