Tool Library and Holder Library

[Todd Mann from Fastech]

I am trying to change where the Mastercam mill default tool library and holder library is located. When I open Mastercam and create a toolpath and I go to get a tool it is defaulted to C:\Users\Public\Documents\shared Mcamx6\mill\Tools. I want to change this to a network drive. Is the a place where I can change it in the Machine definition? Or is it under setting config?

You can change that setting in the machine def/edit general parameters......

How about the holder library?

[Chris Bloedorn]

Your holder library will be in the same location as your default tool library...

Thanks I will give it a try.

I do have it set and the tool library is good, but when I go to get a holder i have to pick the libray i want it doesn't have any way to lock a certian holder library to that Machine def?

[Chris Bloedorn]

I guess you could delete all the holder libraries you don't want and that will make it easier...

Ok. I have a MCX file created as a Seed Part. I have one piont and about twenty some piont toolpaths in my opertions manager with my tools and my holders attached to my tools. I have my machine def. and everything all set up the way I want it. Now I have this old file that I want to make the tools and the hold holders match my seed part. I import all the toolpaths into this file with the tools but the holders don't come in with them. Can I have it bring the tools and the holders that are asigned to them in some how?
