Editing tools in X8

[RSELLINGR]

I am currently using the Beta so if this isn't a permanent issue please excuse this thread.

 

Whenever I want to open up a tool and edit the parameters in the Tool Manager page, the tool opens in the new format where the %'s for material cutting speed and feed per rev are no longer an option.

 

Is this going to be the finalized version of the tool editing pages?

 

If so I rate this a big thumbs down as most of my work is from tool and the ability to alter the parameters in the editing page was incredibly efficient for me.

 

Thanks.

Right-click in the tool info box in the operation and click "re-initialize feeds & speeds".  This will set feeds and speeds to tool manager settings. There may be a faster method, but I have yet to find it...

Will this open up the tool window where I can adjust the percentages of feed rates and spindle speeds?  This is the option that I am looking for when I create a new tool in X8, it seems to have been removed from the options.  I don't know how to link pictures here or I would snip out the things I am talking about.

OK In that same window there is an option, feed speed calculator, and this opens up a window where I can adjust the exact settings I am looking for.  Thank you very much for your help.
