Tool Manager columns settings

[steelslicer]

In X9, is there any way to edit the columns in Tool Manager? There are a couple of columns I don't use (assembly name, holder name) that I'd like to delete, and when I open Tool Manager, the columns are always pushed together, so you can't read the tool name, diameter, etc. I've manually dragged the columns to the layout I want, but the next time I open it, it's back to default. Right clicking on the column headings doesn't give any options. It's not major, but it slows down my workflow on every job.

Wrong forum...Mastercam questions should go in the Industrial forum, I'll move it there

We have had the same issue on our boxes here.  I do not think you can delete any of the columns in Tool manager, If you do not want to view some of the columns grab the column and slide it closed but stop just short of closing in completely.  If you close the column completely your settings will not stick.

Manually drag them almost closed... but leave one dot showing in the column.

Thanks for the workaround. I'm so used to windows applications like Excel that I didn't realize almost closed would work. Appreciate the feedback.

you can also drag them around and move them to the right so you do not see them unless you use the slider to look at them

I like this even better, now I can arrange the columns like I want. I'm not worried about not seeing them, just being able to see the info I need first.
