Tool Manager's Manufacturer Name Gone

[Camelot]

Now, I know that 2017 finally has the option to add a manufacturer name that isn't in their playlist, but when I open and edit a tool in 2017 that I have made in X9, the manufacturer's name is gone.  Even when I re-input the name, save, go out of tool manager and come back in, it's not there.  It doesn't "stick".  But if I create the tool again in 2017, then its all good.  Sigh!!!  Can this be fixed?  If not, all the 1000's of tools I've made will have no more manufacturer name.  Anyone else have this problem?

The Tool Grade doesn't stick either.  Even if you create the tool in 2017.  Ugh

I just opened up my library in the 2017 Tool Manager....all my names and description and tool material are still listed

I was mistaken. The tool grade does stick when I create the tool in 2017. But when I edit a tool that was created in X9 and put in the tool grade, it doesn't stick.

If yours works JParis, what am I doing wrong?

With me, if I edit the tool in Mastercam, it doesn't stick. If I edit the tool in the stand alone tool manger, then all is good.

This to me "sounds" like you might be pointing back to your X9 library......if your library was properly updated it should be in the

Beyond, not sure, but I create all of my tools on the flt, within the operation, the save them to my library.....I have, to this point, no issues with that information remaining correct
