Remove Tool Holder Reference

[John Hill @ Poplar Hill Machine]

I added a holder to one tool to check clearance and now I can't delete it.

 

I've tried deleting the tool and the op then re-creating them but the holder comes back. Tried renumbering the tools starting with tool# higher than the original tool# the holder was associated with and holder goes away UNTIL a tool is added that uses the original tool#, then the holder is back! It's making life miserable because each time I add or modify an op that's associated with the holder, I'm prompted to update/create new .

 

Is there any way to COMPLETELY remove the reference to the holder???

 

Thanks,

John

John have you tried using a different tool that uses no holder.

 

Generate a path, then come back and re-grab your tool out of the library this time with no holder?

[John Hill @ Poplar Hill Machine]

Yes.

Try hitting the new library button and then click ok without changing libraries or selecting a holder. This has worked for me in the past.

[John Hill @ Poplar Hill Machine]

Thanks Brian...tired it but it doesn't stick, keeps reverting back to the unwanted holder/library.

[Brian B 74]

Sorry - forgot a step. Click New Library -> New Holder -> Green Check. Don't add any parameters to the new holder. I just tried it and it worked for me. Holder reference is gone.

[John Hill @ Poplar Hill Machine]

Brian, followed your extra step and it worked!!!

 

Thanks for your help!

Note it and Pin it.

I will chalk that up to an "attaboy". But it takes 3 "attaboy"s to cover up 1 "Aww s@!t". LOL!!

 

Glad I could help!

Trying to figure a way to remove holder references in X9....No joy in Mudville so far

I got it....

 

Set the tool into an operation, go into the holder and right click, delete, apply and green check

 

Open the Tool Manager, the reference is gone

That by the way, was 100 lives on Super Contra 2.

For me it works just to go to big inch, scroll to the top and pick default.
