With MC it is easy to make quickly most of existing tools, but if you want to make special tools … like PDHNL from SECO-Carboloy, or you need an exact dimension of tool mostly for boring bar, you need to draw it and define like custom tool. You can draw in Autocad or something like this and import.

Take a look in help about color for insert and tool holder.
